    Interesting new Cambridge Audio streamers MXN10 and AXN10

    Folks, currently I feed my active speakers with Fiio Bt30pro as receiver from my laptop through bluetooth. Do you think replacing the bluetooth receiver with this would benefit the SQ? Thank you

    Embracing Simplicity in Audio: Anyone Else Skipping Room Correction, Measurement Microphones, and the Like?

    New comer to the forum, my first thread was asking what would be next feasible upgrade outside my current setup. Was told room correction/measurement is the way to go. The steps are pretty daunting and technical for beginner like me, also price of UMIK-1 is almost double compared to say US and...

    What was your best (and worst) audio purchase for the dollar?

    Best: SR009 paired with BHSE and Neko Audio DAC, but sold it around 8 years ago, pure high end bliss Audiophilleo + pure power, got it used and at good price, indeed sounds better Sennheiser HD580 - one of the best in its price bracket ATH M50xbt2 - definitely not the best but works for me...

    My first time spending more on audio. Am I doing it right?

    Yes, most likely I wont be able to distinguish the differences and I'm not ashamed to admit it

    My first time spending more on audio. Am I doing it right?

    I assume you will use this setup while working or relaxing while browsing internet on your desk? If you are, youre in the same situation like me in the past. Most of the time I dont really care about the details in the music as it serves as soothing background element while I'm working or...

    My first time spending more on audio. Am I doing it right?

    Another choice from HD6XX is its younger sister 5XX, which I heard is the same as 580. If it's indeed is then I prefer this to 650 or 600

    My first time spending more on audio. Am I doing it right?

    Allow me to chime in, HD6XX is a solid choice for starters in fact its been considered borderline high end. LCD-2 is pretty power hungry so you would want to try it out first on your setup before jumping in. The rest of the headphones you mentioned ,I have not hear it

    I am looking for headphones with wide soundstage

    Yes, proper headphone amp. This cans is pretty picky on the amp too as far as my experience goes. I bought it because of jumping into hype train back then

    I am looking for headphones with wide soundstage

    Owned AKG K702 long time ago, need powerful amp to bring out its potential. To me the soundstage even though it's wide but sounded a bit hollow

    Best Audiophile Bluetooth headphones Topic

    I have Grado GW100X and ATH-M50XBT2. Love both. The regular ath is pretty much a gateway "drug" to high fidelity headphone (I wont say its an audiophile grade yet). The BT version I can say pretty much similar to the regular.No ANC though. LDAC only. As for the Grado, it share a bit of regular...

    Step up from Elac Debut Connex

    Hi Static, thanks for becoming the first again to answer my question, LS50 is probably too expensive and big. My room is small. Besides from where I came from, price of KEF is pretty inflated (same as Klipsch). I did auditioned LS60 briefly, even though its wayyyyy out of budget and utilization...

    Step up from Elac Debut Connex

    Folks, I have Elac Debut for less than a month. Curious of what would be the next step or couple steps up from this. Prefer to keep it in active bookshelf wireless speakers domain. I've auditioned Dynaudio Xeo 10 and feels like the sound sig lack warmth even though its more transparent. Maybe...

    What is the next step ? - Newbie

    Hi Joe, thank you for the compliment and yes I'm waiting for Spotify to come up with Spotify hi-fi which they have been promised in implementing for couple of years. As for room tuning suggested by static, I will eventually do it, in the meantime I'll stick to what I have first which is IMHO...

    What is the next step ? - Newbie

    Thanks again. Seems to me it's kind of long journey and lots of trial and error. Bit OOT, my approach/principles in the audio world are 1. Sound is extremely subjective 2. More expensive doesn't mean better. 3. Confirmation bias is a bitch in this hobby 4. Not buying into cable, interconnects...

    What is the next step ? - Newbie

    Let's say I buy or borrow the UMIK's , what I do is to use this to measure the room and input the results to REW software that will churn out numbers which I'm going to apply to the speakers and sub settings. Then remeasure again and get REW to calculate EQ settings and apply it using Equalizer...
