I just got three collectionist CDs from Japan, and they all proudly declare that technology (see attached). I never heard of this stuff, and they sound like normal CDs to me... I have found the usual hype on the net, but any opinions in this forum?

It makes me wonder. I am just curious about why audio discussions have this sticky ability to draw people in to rehash the exact same ritual debates. I have quit every other audio forum. But even here, the exact same debates exist, albeit now often focused on the last 1dB of Sinad or such. The...

We like to discuss the highest fidelity stuff and top sinad values etc... but we don't always have access to our audio shrines, right? I have to say, the quality and immersion you can achieve these days with very simple stuff is mind-blowing. I am away from home as we speak (much to my cat's...

Does any of you have some favorite albums, because the music is outstanding, but the recording makes you think "I wish they'd mastered this better"? Two recent examples for me are Joe Sample's "Roles" from 1987, as well as the George Benson and Earl Klugh collaboration. Both to me sound...

...deserves her own audio thread. Best composer in Fleetwood Mac. I'd go with... She never lost her touch as a composer. Anthem. If you don't tear up - you're identified as an alien.

https://nadelectronics.com/product/c-3050-le-stereophonic-amplifier/ Very nice retro design externally, but loaded with features: Dirac, sub out, what I assume is very capable Hypex amplification inside, etc I am no a fan of wood, but it'd be barely visible where I'd put it. I'll mull it...

OK so we had our fun always working from home... :-) But here in California, the high-tech companies are increasingly asking their staff to return to the office 2-3 days a week. I am very lucky because for me it's totally optional - also, I switched jobs during the pandemic, and the company HQ...

Based on the stellar measurements of most of their equipment, I am curious and want to set up a Topping system. It *seems* my best match would the the LA90 for amplification and the DX7-Pro for DAC/Preamp/Headphone duties. Ideally I'd like to keep it to 2 boxes, but if there are any benefits by...

I just added these headphones to my stable, and after listening to them for one weekend (and as I am using them as we speak in my remote work rig) - I must say I am very pleased with them. On my stationary workstation, I have listened to them through the Audioengine D1 as well as Arcam rPAC...

I listen to a lot of classical and jazz in general, so when I establish if something sounds "well", piano features very high on the things I'd listen to. As does percussion and human voice - and an entire classical ensemble, too (I do avoid the cannon shot in 1812, though, I think that's the...

https://nadelectronics.com/product/m23-stereo-power-amplifier/ Is Hypex obsolete now with Purifi Eigentakt taking over high end amplification? PS: I am being facetious. It's clear we've embarked on the law of diminishing returns and many are obsessed about micromessimal measurements that are...

I joined this forum not too long ago. I did take a break from audiophile philosophy discussions a few years back, tired of the flamewars that are characteristic. But when I accidentally found this site when looking for measurements on some gear, I liked the vibe of the exchanges here. Not that...
