    Lossless from Apple Music Classical.

    Hi Has this already been debated? The "regular" Apple Music , can play lossless through an Apple TV 4K, since it has the Apple Music App, in which case mobile device functions as remote controls. Strangely there is no Apple Classical app for the Apple TV 4K ... The alternative is Airplay...

    Kef R11 (Non-Meta) vs Revel F208

    Hi Very short question as per the title: Kef R11(Non-meta) or Revel F208? The F208, NIB, are likely to cost more, I am comfortable with buying used however. The R11 (Non-Meta) although they are being discontinued are compelling at the current <$1500.oo per speaker. I have JBL LSR305 for...

    Vintage and modern Vu-Meters, Oscilloscope, Spectrographs, etc.

    HI This was inspired by the SCH-REMOTE Digital VU/Spectrum Meter Review. I just ordered this SCH-REMOTE Digital VU/Spectrum Meter Review, a few minutes ago. Of course, it will serve absolutely no audio purpose. I hope it looks as cool doing nothing like those visualization componets of...

    Wireless IEM Monitoring System

    Hi I need to implement a low-cost wireless IEM system for video/audio productions. Thanks to @amirm / ASR, I acquired the excellent and inexpensive TRUTHEAR Crinnacle Zero, and love it. It will be used as the IEM this project (or perhaps the Moondrop Chu sans microphone). I need to attach a...

    Bullet Train.

    Hi Music algorithms have been good to me. Those algorithms work. Spotify's is very good and Apple's is getting there... On the movies side... crapshoot... Disney+, Netflix and Prime Video have hundreds of thousands of movies... Finding these is not trivial. Netflix algorithm is laughable...

    Upgrade or Stay Put?

    Hi I didn't want to hijack the " How do you know if it can sound better?" thread. These can be merged if the moderators and you, the people want it :) This is a very interesting subject. A question, I am currently grappling with Bear with me. I came from the subjective side of things. I had my...

    Inexpensive Subwoofer amplifier for DIY project.

    Hi I already have a pair of cheap subwoofers. They work but I need more. I had my eyes on the HSU VTF-2 MK5. By the time it would come to my door it would cost me about $1350.oo, double the US price. Supply -chain problems are real people. So why not build one? My woodwork skills are nil I am...

    Generator Soundproofing... actually silencing.

    Hi Long post.: I have a 10 KW generator reasonably silent 75 dbA at 1 meter. It is mounted on some elastomeric stuff used for industrial machinery in a soundproofed shed resulting in 60 dBA at 2 meters... The house is about 10 meters from it, I don't worry about noise or vibrations from this...

    Upgrades suggestion/recommendation/Discussions for Noticeable Audio quality improvement.

    List of systems I went through the years, is long, suffice to say that I came from the world where a $6000 speaker cable did not make me blink... Not a matter of Financial means per se: Among my justification: Rather than buy a new decent sedan for $35,000 ~$50, 000. I'd rather get a good used...

    The Rise of the Wide-Angle as "normal" lens.

    Hi I am forever annoyed at what I call the "smartphone-camera-look" on everything. Most smartphone cameras are wide-angle and that has led most, or perhaps all selfies to be taken with a wide-angle look , thus with the wide-angle distortion of people's faces.. This has become almost a standard...

    Hope this doesn't devolve but there is a need for awareness. This opinion on Moneyweek is IME on point. We must wake-up. I share the sentiments of @Frank Dernie , expressed in this post. Here is the Article. This is not something we can shrug off ... in the name of convenience.

    Straight up or toed-in: Speakers in a room

    Hi I am utterly humbled almost everyday by noticing how much I don't know about Audio. I am an engineer (EE) and have been an audiophile for more than 50 years... Started very early ;)... but now can't hear past 15 kHz ... I went through the subjective audiophile phase where speakers had to...
