Our new home is slightly smaller, losing about 300 sq ft, but the significant change is the open layout with fewer rooms. Consequently, the main living area, where we've placed the speakers, is...

I actually replaced the pots with matte black pots. (Wrapping a round pot is way beyond my wrapping ability!)
Here is a picture of the amp un-wrapping.

Reducing the footprint of your audio equipment doesn't necessarily mean sacrificing sound quality. My personal experience is a testament to the fact that you can decrease both the physical size and...

Obviously there is an issue with the software upgrade and several folks have noted that they are experiencing the same problem.

Do you mean that you are also having problems uploading pictures?

You might be happily surprised with the change. I was forced to downsize because of a move, but I am now enjoying better sound. The topping pre-amp is definitely a winner (and it costs a mere...

Thanks Puma Cat! You are up early!!

You are the admin and that might make a difference.

I am getting this message: "IMG_7761.jpg - This is not a valid image file."

Perhaps others can chime in.

Unable to post pictures. Not sure if related to the software update.

I just removed the wrap. (getting ready to sell). They look like new!
Tried to post a picture but I get a response that the jpeg file is not compatible. Wondering if others are having the same...

Big versus small...

Yes… FS: 88 pound amps! 😁

The downsizing continues.
Considering switching amps. Going from 88 pounds to 13 pounds. Big difference in dimensions too. Will try a picture later.

After using Roon and HQP for years and upsampling all the music to 512 DSD, I have no qualms admitting that I enjoy the simplicity of Spotify even though it has lower resolution. But as I noted in my...

It does explain my need to make changes, but… the acoustics of the new room is actually much better than my old dedicated music room. After the move, I have been making changes one device at a time....

Yes, I recently moved to a smaller place. I have been eliminating and/or switching to equipment of smaller size.

That saying about the best camera being the one you've got with you? It's spot on, and it totally applies to music too, like your thing with the JBL Party Box in the car. You pointed out how...

Returning to the Roots of Musical Enjoyment

My journey with music has been a lifelong affair, spanning decades and evolving through various formats - from LPs and cassettes to CDs, bypassing the...

This may be a minority opinion. I would not bother with the DAC. Whatever changes you make to the DAC is not going to affect the sound that much. Since you indicated that you have $2k to spend, I...

I have become addicted to Spotify and its great playlist selections. Spotify-Connect is fantastic .
I am content to the point that I don't miss Qobuz at all. Keeping it because of Roon, but that...

Let’s see active, DSP, x times the price.
It is a win-win for speaker manufacturers. Not so for amp manufacturers.

The premise for cord cutting is that many folks don't need that many channels and believe that they can do better by subscribing to streamed services piecemeal.
However, If an individual needs to...

TL;DR? Jitter is no longer a boogeyman

Just a moment...

The link above may help.

A paid subscription to Spotify may be needed. I use a phone or a tablet to run the Spotify App. From the App I can select any speaker or device that...
