Nothing like an 8-track under the seat of 67 Nova ! Also had quadraphonic 8 track in the bedroom 4 speakers nailed to the wall, friends loved it, my parents thought I was an idiot !

I know this is hobby for people & I get it, so using VST's & plug ins to enhance your hobby is a cool thing. But IMHO, just because you can now get something that replicates a 60K machine from the 80's for a few hundred bucks doesn't mean the use of such plug ins make music any better. I guess...

Same boat here, just wish there was a simple way to get a high pass filter on an amp that doesn't have that option.

OK, no argument. I bought a brand new 2021 Dodge RAM & it doesn't get anywhere near the advertised EPA window sticker gas mileage. Is that also deceptive marketing ? It's widely known that those window stickers that "everyone" knows about the EPA claims are BS. So, it's just marketing & where...

That may be one way to see it. But I don't think Qobuz is out to corner anything they are competing & are not naive enough to try overtake Amazon. For myself & a lot of other Qobuz customers it was about not using Amazon, good pricing, good user interface & great content. Just an FYI the "High...

Never heard of Mofi & just googled them & here's a quote from a record there selling, RECORD ONE: 1/4" / 30 IPS analog copy to DSD 256 to analog console to lathe Are they saying they used 1/4" tape ?

When thinking of this it does seem that as a hobby (at least on this forum) people really get bent over some ones personal choice and go on & on about how someone should spend there money, why that is I have no idea. I haven't noticed any "Hi my names Joe & I'm audiophile" posts though. But...

Interesting approach & it sounds like it worked. This may make no sense for many reasons I don't know, but if an amp has no high/low pass filter options for mains but it does have a sub out would it be possible to just build an external crossover for the mains just blocking out the low freq. ?

IMO the M66 is what is, an absolute great thing for expanding a 2 channel system without compromise. There is nothing like it on the market (that I've seen & I've been looking & gave up), Anyway there are many many different AVR amps that are built for HT and would be a much better and probably...

Wish I could afford one ! Finally something for 2 channel & 2.1-4 fans.

Here ya go, everything plus DIRAC LIVE & DIRAC Bass management. https://nadelectronics.com/nad-announces-masters-m66-bluos-streaming-dac-preamplifier/

Had the Harmony & loved it. Now it's 1 sony remote runs the tv through the amp HDMI/Arc input. Everything else done with Heos phone amp. I really never touch the amp anymore.

Are there any bands, producers, sound engineers who mastered the originals & have commented on the remasters ?

Yes, the more I learn the more limiting it gets ! So with the Flex HT inputs it looks like I could use the SPDIF for my CD player, the optical for my streamer, the HDMI on TV and when using the TT (which is not much) I'd just leave it as is and no DSP on TT. DSP out puts would be 1 for the sub...

Thanks for the info., Antcollinet, If I use the record out into the DSP wouldn't I still be able to use inputs & switching of the amp ? I have a CD player, Yamaha streamer & a TT for my music source & HDMI for TV. Are you saying everything needs to be plugged into the DSP ? Viecenzo the...
