By MF Coom Go To PostYo my dad broke my Sansui. I just renewed the caps what the hell man
It's the oldest and coveted piece of gear that I have.
Son of a bitch.
Would be even more ironic if your dad was like mine when growing up. The stereo was forbidden territory for me as a kid. Full circle now.
This inevitably happens when people keep interchanging equipment and cables.

That sucks.

Had to cancel the order for my new interface as it is out of stock. In fact, no one has it in stock right now. So, I wait.

By Kuma Go To PostHow do you guys find new music?When I used to listen to Pandora, it was that service. Nowadays, it is more my car's FM radio when I'm out driving.
I’m on a small scale Dutch messageboard with like minded people. Get most of my music from there and sometimes trough an app group with friends. But I’m a bit more ‘alternative’ so usually it’s me plugging music for them instead of the other way around.
Day 5 with the Metrum Acoustics Jade.
What a thing. The Mystic Gohan of DACs.
An accurate depiction of the gap in performance from my previous DAC.

By Kuma Go To PostDacs seems like snake oil til 700+ dollars rangeThen they become super expensive snake oil.
Better off investing in a DSP at that point because you are basically getting the same thing, but with a real DSP, you can better control the output.
By Kuma Go To PostShould I care about DSD?Only if there are recordings you care about that are only available in DSD format, imo: https://www.cambridgeaudio.com/usa/en/blog/what-dsd
Ended up getting Modi 3E. All the higher end dacs had features I didn't need. Also got the Qudelix 5k for my portable solution.
There's not much that I can do now to improve the sound of my system except that it could benefit from a larger room.
I could still lower the noise floor by adding a streamer but I'm not in a hurry.

Oh right, I was looking for a new listening chair but I think that I'm going to opt for one of those ambient lounge bean bags instead.

I need a new listening chair as well

Sounds like you need a comfy couch. My alternative is also a couch.
I don't really have a playlist to demo my system because pretty much anything sounds sublime (Especially live recordings). This though, is perfect for an audition. Just to separate the men from boys.. Great quality for a YouTube upload.

This my test playlist for my headphones

The fallout of the MoFi revelation has thrown the audiophile community into something of an existential crisis. The quality of digitized music has long been criticized because of how much data was stripped out of files so MP3s could fit on mobile devices. But these days, with the right equipment, digital recordings can be so good they can fool even the best ears. Many of MoFi’s now-exposed records were on Fremer and Esposito’s own lists of the best sounding analog albums.Then who gives a shit lol
Best way they could have introduced this tech, honestly, no one would've listened without bias
This couch was so damn comfy that I don't even mind the asking price.

It's not the sale of the week, but for a couch it also isn't overly expensive I'd say.
Meanwhile I'm still waiting on my new NAD amp. Never waited so long for a product in my life. Doesn't help of course that it's still seen as an employee sale so I'm at the back of the line constantly till they have stock built up.

Always try to pick it up from the store even if it's heavy. It's like getting something from Toys R' Us and leaving with a grin on your face.

By Kuma Go To PostI dont have good audio stores in my area unfortunately :(Everything is far away there which is why everyone uses Amazon.
I've been using Van Den Hul interconnects for a very long time now and this week a store gave some free interconnects from Supra. Plugged them in and listened to the Blood and Wine OST. Verdict: what a downgrade. Hardly attention grabbing.

Any special occasions coming up?
For some reason I got my order confirmation of my new amplifier in the mail again yesterday. Slightly excited I mailed them back to ask if it's in the store already. Turned out they are going over to the new POS system and they had to copy everything and couldn't prevent customers receiving their order confirmation again.
