    Streamer and subscriptions: How are you streaming music?

    I also recently got into streaming using TidaL over a year ago. I'm using the Eversolo DMP-A6 Master Edition going into the Weiss 204 DAC with the Plixir Statement. BDC power supply in a dedicated room. The advantage of streaming IMO, is the convenience and access to new music. The downside...

    Building a new home with a dedicated theater room. looking for advice, things to avoid, etc

    Heartily agree with getting an acoustician involved early on in the process. The other thing, I would consider would be Dynamat back boxes for the ceiling speakers so their sound is directed down into the room and not into the attic. Good luck with the room and keep us posted.

    Critical or casual music listening

    To me the words, "critically listening" implies looking for faults with the musical presentation and thereby getting into your head. I prefer to listen mindfully, in the moment, open heartedly, letting the music wash over me and elicit whatever response it's going to provoke. Casual listening to...

    Grayson, didn't realize how important it is to have compatible analog components, ie, turn table, tone arm, amplifier, cartridge, phono stage and speakers for the best results.

    Recently added the Primaluna EVO 300 integraged amplifier, a Vincent PHO 701 phono stage, BJC cables and Beresford TC-7210 selector switch to share the main speakers with both amps, a very nice analog experience.

    Thanks Todd, I'm very happy with mine. A touch too powerful for my space, but I didn't want to leave any performance on the table. I posted some additional room pictures at the GIK Acoustics website. .

    Due to budgetary reasons had to settle for a 15'w x 16' l x 8' h room which is very acoustically challenging particulary in the low frequencies. The room had a lot of reverb and echo and a huge bump at 35Hz and again @ 70Hz. I reached out to Nyall, AcousticFrontiers who measured and determined...
