    Re: Too Much Music

    I know the feeling (playing the same 20 albums over and over), and the suggestion to try streaming new music is a very good one.

    I subscribe to Qobuz and sometime I scroll the 'New Releases'...

    Re: Magico S3 (2023) Listening Impressions

    I bought my S5MkII as floor demos with the thought that their replacement must be coming soon. That was 3 yrs ago!

    I suppose that new S5s will be even bigger, given the specs on the new S3s.

    Re: Magico S3 (2023) Listening Impressions

    Reviving an older thread to ask my own question. I own S5MkII's (got them at a nice price as ex-dems) and am wondering how the new S3s might be compared to the S5MkII's.

    At close to 3700 posts on this forum I'm not so sure that you don't give a s**t about others opinions.

    I hear the opposite.

    James Guthrie doesn't seem like the kind of producer to "add compression" when tasked with this project. Have you read otherwise? Because my ears tell me the opposite.

    The right advice is not to not use the router at all, but just to turn off the router's wifi and plug a third-party wifi router into it for much improved home wifi coverage.

    I dont "listen for SQ," I find the huge echo so utterly distracting that I don't enjoy the music. In the TD Garden (Boston), the echo really is horrendous.
