This thread actually is reminding me of why I am happy that ASR exists, and that Amir spends so much time doing this work. In some hypothetical scenario where Amir (or other) measures some speaker that I like a lot, and it measures poorly, and he gives a bad subjective review - at least its a...

Anyone with experience with both these and the hd600/hd650 able to comment on soundstage differences? Edit - don’t know exactly why my reply got moved, but I was asking for a soundstage comparison between hd600/hd650 and the aeon rt-2 closed. Apparently this is the thread for that question...

Thank you - a very interesting product Actually, I'm almost seeing the WiiM as something that could go with the LS50 Meta - basically making your own LS50W (I'm sure there are some compromises) but keeping the complex electronics packaging separated from your expensive passives. I really like...

Thanks both - have heard of both of those options and looked at them, but didn’t realize the lsx 2 was such a well optioned solution. Of course price is a big factor, the AE5 is a really good price for the package I feel, and with the little kiddos running around I’m not sure about a sub...

I've been using my main 2.0 system in the living room for a number of years. I am adding some square footage to my house, which means I can take my 2.0 system elsewhere. However, I will still need some sort of speaker setup in the living room to connect directly to the TV. I use my smart TV...

Thanks for reply - I suppose I could always just try it out, or buy some monitors and do something differently entirely.

Thanks all for your inputs My NAD is old. Of course like 6 analog inputs, but no BT or otherwise. May check out this chromecast option

So right now I have my 10 year old recently manufacturer refurbished hd600 phones which I love, and my sr225. I have an atom stack and a woo audio wa6 (otl tube amp). I also have Sony wh4000xm or whatever, mostly for taking to the office or having conference calls. I’m looking for something to...

I’m a bit lower on technical understanding than many posters here, but I think in general it depends on the component With a dac or an amp - I think measurements are the only thing that matters really, and that’s what I love about this site. I don’t have people with $2k da converters talking...

Apologies in advance if asking an annoying question here. Have a toddler at home and another one coming soon. Spending a lot of time now in the living room playing, which is great, and love listening to music on my 2.0 setup in the living room. Typically I use Spotify on my smart tv and go...

I use these all day for work zoom sessions, and when not in calls then with my phone to listen to podcasts. I think they’re awesome for those purposes. Might occasionally listen to music on them once I’m forced back into the office pretty soon here, but overall, I think these are a slam dunk...

thanks the second amp is definitely higher distortion than the atom amp, so I don’t know really why I will be doing this, but I just feel like it. Ok. Gracias

I have a question as well, I have a couple of headphones and sometimes I will want to use a different amp - I know this has an output, can that feed into a second headphone amplifier, or will this cause problems? Thanks

Thanks gents Definitely my wife already thinks I’m round the bend, especially after being trapped with me for the last year. this is just an additional hobby. I like your recommendation, I am open to taking room measurements. Hopefully I can get REW working with Linux without too much...

Thanks, so yes, basically I am interested in trying some new pieces out as I have the inclination to do that at this time. I like the Q100, but it will be fun to try some different pieces. I would like some kit which measures closer to the optimal FR response, as discussed on this forum. I had...

Apologies up front if this is the wrong subforum for this question I looked around for a general 'advice' section and did not see anything. I could have missed it. Anyways I am eyeing adding a bit to my system, but wanted some general advice from more experienced folks I have a 2 channel...

So here’s a question I have on a somewhat related topic, sorry if it’s a threadjack I have my pc in the back of the house. I access the files from a laptop in my living room. Laptop is USB out to my dac. Should I worry about sound degradation or noise such as you all are describing in a...

I had a pair of 225 10+ years ago, but I sold them because I wanted the $200 for something else I suppose. Just bought myself a new pair because I always liked em. I have hd600 and a 2 channel system that I’ve tinkered with over the years, so I’m set as far as normal listening. Just wanted these...

Enjoying this thread, it’s all a bit funny to me. When I got on head fi 15 years ago, I immediately thought some of this stuff sounded silly. I thought it was kind of common knowledge that all amps sound the same, unless something is wrong with one of them. Interesting to see that people still...

Well gents thanks for your replies. I ended up buying a cheaper and less functional unit, but which measures well still. Hope I don’t regret not spending bit extra for the nicer unit, but the one I’m getting will be nice. Thanks
