    WiiM Mini Streamer

    It’s never too soon to stop wasting money supporting Tidal Music. They have stopped growing according to Block Inc and their gross profit is deteriorating.

    WiiM Mini Streamer

    Unless “some guy on the internet” is me. I just posted that 300,000 users can decode an MQA file. That number is optimistic, so they are going after a tiny part of the streaming market. WiiM may want to rethink support for HiFi Plus tier.

    Mobile Fidelity Analog Vinyl Controversy

    I've advocating elsewhere that all these people who claim to hear a digital step in their records be deposed. Either they can hear a difference or they can't.

    Mobile Fidelity Analog Vinyl Controversy

    You guys carry on. I’m following the cases on PACER. Public Access to Court Electronic Records for those who don’t know. But if this is an audiophile existential crisis you can be sure I’m doing everything I can to make it worse.

    I get my basic bias information from Statement on Auditing Standards No. 142 Appendix B and add from experience.

    Mobile Fidelity Analog Vinyl Controversy

    I’ve read the complaint. They will write a response and a motion for dismissal. Think of all information about master tapes lost in fires (Universal) and just thrown away (Warner Music) and damaged in other ways they can cite. Any reasonable person would not rely on any statements about...

    Chord GroundAray Review (Video)

    Amir, I recommend the gold tailings from the intellectual headquarters of high-end audio Vulture City Arizona. Cryogenically treat the dirt and place it a box made from the scrap wood of the buildings refinished in the tone of your choice. The sound is even better than the silver tailings...

    Gordon Holt created a new vocabulary to describe sound. And would eventually publish a glossary of audio terms.

    Remember the subjective audio press promoted MQA or was only willing to condemn it privately. Good old peer pressure. So, when I got involved to stop MQA in 2016 the first thing was to confirm the rumors about Meridian Audio’s finances, and spread actual financial information about MQA Ltd. Then...

    So, I want to rid the world of .03% of the streaming paid subscription market. It isn’t even a rounding error. Now a little history lesson. Audio was mainstream when I was a kid. Even the cheerleaders at my college (Oregon State) could tell the difference between AR-3s, JBL L100s and Advents...

    I don’t particularly care that the camps are polarized. If I get my way the hobby will write off most of the audio press and the couple hundred thousand audiophiles dumb enough believe Bob Stuart offers anything to the audio world.

    Sorry the last six years of Chord Electronics financial statements tell a different story.

    "Audiophool"

    I prefer rational audiophile and irrational audiophile. Archimago came up with rational, irrational is logically the other side.

    What's the speaker of your dreams?

    I set up few in my youth and they played my reference albums and recordings very well. They did require a few simple room treatments however.

    What's the speaker of your dreams?

    JBL Paragon as a dream but realistically a pair of Klipsch Heresey II with fancy wood instead of the plain wood in mine.

    Just got banned at Audiophile Style for pushing back against misinformation

    Yep, I never had a night and day difference in audio. Everything has been incremental. But I've had my AR-4Xs in my office for 35 years and occasionlly do some mixing. I changed the wire within days of the purchase, about 10 years later I replaced the crossover with OEM parts and nine years ago...
