The meaning of Source First

Split from the topic 'Listening to Beatles on vinyl' Speakers without crossover next thing on the list? :-) The greatest impact on musicality is at the source and the speaker crossover is far from it. Matt Yes, however, a good musical signal at the source can be mangled into non-musical content by ...

Re: MQA

Qobuz have launched 24 bit streaming. In their words 'without compromise'. Im guessing that means without propriety stealth DRM and 'folding' Don't hold your breath. But generally, streaming and downloading is BAD as the files normally are messed with in various areas = Not the original recording. ...

Re: Sunbeam's Rig

Took the stereo parts of the system to the Scalford Hifi Show last weekend.

The bouncy chipboard floor was a bit of a challenge, hence the marble slabs, which helped a lot.

Re: MQA

Shame but not a surprise that labels are signing up. Worse that What Hifi have 'reviewed' it without any reference to the non-technical issues. Did they compare the sound quality? I would have to go back and find a copy. I look at What Hifi for news, not opinion - I don't buy my own copy as their o...

Re: Anyone heard the new Dynaudio Contours?

I had the chance to hear the Contour 30s again today, and it was a different experience this time. Here's the extracted notes from the blog post (the full report is linked at the end of this post). I owned a small pair of Dynaudio standmounts for a while - they were never in a main system, but when ...

Re: Tundra TARANDUS

I don't think I used 'please' at the end of any sentences. I have apologised for bad use of the thread. I am saddened by the political challenges that are irrelevant here. It is rather unpleasant to be accused of any parallels with the current US government. I share my blog posts for the interest of...

Re: DS firmware - what is the lastest on the most musical one?

Beta code is almost coming too quickly now to keep evaluating and choosing. I've found some good and some not so good but it would be a time consuming job to keep swapping back and forth whilst making notes. Something to look forward to in retirement. Its therefore very useful to get views on this t...

Re: Tundra TARANDUS

Sunbeamgls, you are a master of condescension. You even managed to be condescending with two characters that are not letters! You can often tell when you are being this way because you end a sentence in a “please” or even a :) – although that indication is not always there. You have run into a numb...

That's fine Fredrik - but without clear identification (now resovled), it was not clear who is a dealer and who is not - it was not intended to be personal, as explained above.

Re: Significant MELCO firmware update

Sounds like bad news. Can it be rolled back Spannko?

I read elsewhere that the new firmware seems to produce more bass which might match with what you're saying here.
