I am a long-time user and supporter of Audirvana, both the lifetime paid legacy option and Studio (on iOS). In the past, I often compared it and found it better-sounding than Amarra, Puremusic, and Roon (all paid and not only testing). I use Roon for background listening, discovering new music...

My daughter's pride and joy.

Is this still available? Part of the standard issue when I started to work

Trust only in Airmusic and vote with your chequebooks, credit cards and even Ruble or whatever is in your stash to make all your hifi, sound and music dreams come true ;)

With a complete Audio Note system, I would trust the designer. Ask AN for their views and follow their guidance. You could try to outsmart the designer by finding better options, but in this company, I would rather listen to their informed experience and guidance. @udwadia, you are on the first...

Is the listening position relative to the bass driver on the speaker or not? Does the listening position relative to the driver change depending on where the bass driver is on the speaker, i.e., in front(low down, in the middle or high up, or even on the side or at the back of the speaker)? So...

Most people monitor the feedback and reporting about the big-ticket items after the Munich show, but I am also keen to learn who the champions of the future might be. This brief overview of startups you also might find interesting. https://www.hifipig.com/high-end-munich-2024-start-up-area/

It's wonderful to see the amazing Holo Spring Dac making its way into this system that Achim rates so highly. Clearly, someone with good judgment is behind putting this system together. .

Here is probably the most comprehensive photographic feast of the show in Munich—4000+ high-quality photographs probably of almost all items on show...

Would it not be best to measure with your head in place? That is probably how most of us would be listening to the system. If the head and body of the listener are not taken into account, it might produce inaccurate results. As for the mushy stuff, my take is that what you call the "unreliable...

Perhaps this could be the key to an accurate measurement.

There is no misunderstanding from my side. I just don't share your assumptions or those of Erin. Meta-reflection by the scientists about their own assumptions is, in my view, part of the scientific process. Extrapolating from anechoic or quasi-anechoic measurements to the real-world rooms of...

I agree, and therein lies the risk of interpreting the Klippel results in an absolute manner(as it is often done) Ok, I understand and therefore, there is no relevance to the graphs previously shared. It is your room and your user case N=1 I was indicating that low and high frequencies...

Klippel is one of the most powerful tools we have available (but it is not perfect). It uses near-field measurements and then extrapolates a prediction of the far-field response( I am not sure that the Tool graphs are derived from a Klippel, but I guess it is based on the same mathematics...

Erin's views are based on his work with Klippel. In the real world, the results might look different than the mathematical assumptions on which the Klippel predictions are based. Have a look at these graphs from an article by Tool. https://www.linkwitzlab.com/Toole-Room%20calibration.pdf It is...

Would Audiophile might be such a word when it should have been Audiofool? ;)

A perspective from Stockholm, Feb 2024. High-end Mässän 2024 was held in Stockholm 17-18 Feb, but not in City’s Sheraton hotel, which for years served as the main venue for the fair, but the Klara Konferens & Happynings Conference Center at Klarabergsviadukten 90, right next to the main railway...

Here is another under-the-radar show. https://the-ear.net/show-reports/the-london-audio-show-2024/
