    Dont knock the old toppies..they are the ones with time and sometimes money at their disposal ... they upgrade more often and the "pishers" then get a chance at their old stuff..

    Trinnov... best upgrade yet...astounding

    I have no equipment with USB inputs..so no usb for me .. but I dont need it Katji ... the sense of realism using the trinnov injects is amazing. Listening to old stuff so much more is revealed  but not in a clinical way.. You have a plethora of tools to make it do anything you want They use a...

    Trinnov... best upgrade yet...astounding

    I stream wirelessly to a Squeezebox Touch.as a roon endpoint I sends spdif to the Trinnov For this comparison , I also used the SB's Toslink output to my Dirac box Trinnov and dirac box digital outputs plugged into my devialet so switching between Dirac or trinnov is as simple as changing inputs

    Advanced driving - what is the correct procedure for...

    Get a car with a good ABS system Otherwise stop braking and steer into the skid till you get steering and then brake...if you can , its not intuitive , most folk slam on more brake and steer the opposite to the skid which makes things worse

    I dunno .. the only time a card carrying audiophile reaches sonic nirvana is when he shuffles off this mortal coil... Just speculating but If I had the cash  ...  I would look at the quad active setup for my speakers

    Subwoofer installation advice

    low bass is omnidirectional , but above 80hz or so its somewhat  locateable .. so long as you cross your subs over quite  lower than that it might work..maybe... HOWEVER I would never suspend a sub from a ceiling , structurally speaking....

    Trinnov... best upgrade yet...astounding

    Its pretty easy to use ..sort of. I use an old ipad as a remote/controller..works a charm , you can also attach a screen and kb/mouse to the unit itself ..but thats a pain. the unit has its own VNC server built in Why do I say sort of ..well you have to be puter and to some extent acoustically...

    How Spotify / streaming is destroying art

    Yeh  ..I liked him and the music .. reasonably good sound quality as well ... never heard of hi before..tidal once again broadened my exposure to good "new" music....

The bigger the difference between average and peak...
