You are all over the place and making little sense. What does this have to do with Wavelength or Logitech? NAD vs Lamm? I am not criticizing high-end manufacturers at all. It is the few people who do not really understand what is going on here. Maybe you need to do some reading on the CA, JPlay or Tri Na HiFi forums. Staying here only you are learning very little.

Do your self a favor, stop writing, and listen.

Actually have... Why are you screaming??? Are you really that immature.smh...

Not only that, it gets a little rough around here when they tag team against you. ;-)

.... Windows users in general (often), and "streamers" (looks like daily now, too), the only proper solution is the Apple masterpiece, THE ultimate music-making machine.I'm wondering if there's another single person in this forum, stupid enough to believe that - despite the mantra being so persistent.

It's pretty telling when someone goes out of their way to criticize you when they are responding to a third person relating their experiences.
Or, whenever one makes a mistake, apologizes after its pointed out: but still gets "piled on" with criticism. That shows no class, and it becomes clear that anything you say, (even if you agree), is seen as a threat that must be attacked.

LOL!!!
you get some experience and knowledge with computer audio and traditional high end playback. Not sure if I'd hold out any hope that you'd come into line with what, (largely), most others have realized, - that good sound can happen throughout several transport types.

I know much more about computers, audio, and possibly many other things than you will even know!
You have not commented on my SET 45 amp and Bose 901s yet... You are really an audio expert...
Bose 901s-Julian Hirsch made these babies famous. Since we are going down memory lane, how about the Rectilinear III speakers.Julian felt that these were some of the most natural sounding speakers he ever heard.
I think they sold for $279.

Hi Steve,
I remember them well. And from the boogie down Bronx. :) The good old days...

your posts have never reflected that you know much of anything.....
Namely, comparitive listening. Have you even heard the ubiquitous SBT?
Your highest form of knowledge, is your number of various listening experiences, in both traditional audio and digital file playback.
If you happen to know so much, why are you so afraid to cite even a smal iota of those experiences? Why are your opinions so disparate from most others here?

Exactly!! All we see is posts about how much knowledge he has but I can't remember a single enlightening post, not single instance of describing experiences of system building. Just a lot of name calling and foot stomping lol.
Amen to that. But then again I can't be bothered with know it all, smug posters who don't post their systems.
Have posted my system many times. Do you really think you have a better audio system, or are a better listener than someone else...
Nonsense. It is obvious to anyone here you have a severe inferiority complex.
My system is no better or worse than one else's.
Posting one's system is simply an expected courtesy and it allows others to get a picture of your tastes and preferences.
I'm no better a listener than anyone else, I just enjoy music immensley, not playing wack a mole with my 'puter.
We can only guess what you have been wacking...
"inferiority complex." You are trippin... LOL
What is wrong with a SET 45 amp and Bose 901s?
Edits: 07/23/15
Don't quit your day job, although it is highly doubtful you have one.
Nothing is wrong with those things. Stop being a child.
Maybe you are actually a child. I have been doing this probably before you were born but it seems that neither you nor your buddy got the joke, and you really know much less about audio than you think.
The combination I posted would not even make any sound let alone be an audiophile system. A 1 1/2 watt single ended 45 amplifier would not even make a hiss powering Bose 901s!
I think this is actually hilarious that you did not realize that this is an impossible system.
Bose 901s one of the largest selling speakers in history, and one of the most controversial need and an inordinate amount of power. You can hook them to the third rail of the subway and it would not be enough power for them. They are also probably one of the worst sounding speakers in a home environment that were ever made, this is audio history that I hope everybody knows.
They are diffuse sounding, pretty much a total mess but just about everyone that ever heard them in the showroom walked out with a pair because of the way they were demonstrated. High-powered amps like a Phase Linear 400s or 700s which came out around the same time, and an audio demo room with heavy carpet on the walls, floor and ceiling and filled with equipment made these speakers sound like the most amazing things God ever created. Everyone who heard them walked out with a pair, but when they got them home to their apartments with wood floors and windows, no reflective corners, and a 40 watt receivers, they began to cry realizing the mistake they made.
I actually met Dr. Bose many many years ago and told him about the experiences people I knew had with 901s. It was an interesting conversation to say the least. I guess I am lucky I did not get sued... lol...
Can you and you friend just please cool it. You might not really know as much as you think... I see you have AR D150s... I actually heard the first AR D76s in NYC in Lyric back room with Mike K. Have you ever been there?
I have close to a 40 year collection of tubes, electronics and speakers I've been enjoying this hobby since my teens. I too much stuff the list, but now try to keep my system is pretty simple.MiniMax+ Dexa discrete op-amps, Aune S16 a real sleeper" better that a few $3,000 DACS I have heard, or a tricked out Pacific Valve NOS tube DAC into a LIghtspeed attenuator. I was listening to Yamaha and NS1000 for a while driven by Hypex amps. I recently hooked up a pair of Celestion SL600s for a change.
I have heard the very expensive amps that your partner in streamers owns compared to the Hypex amps and it was no contest.
I should have known that was red meat hanging! I read it and did not want to get involved. LOL
A free reaming lost.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Big speakers and little amps blew my mind!
You could have said something. :)
And some people feel they are audio experts. lol And then on top of that the are real nasty...
I could not imagine owning a $15,000 pair of speakers with a 6 1/2 inch woofer and then using a bass boosting equalizer. Just does not feel right. Has to add distortion.
I am not even a real big sub-woofer fan. I still own a pair of Janis subs, very low distortion (and one of the only woofers that can sound good with Quads), but don't bother with them much.
This can be a pretty funny place though. :)
Nobody got your attempt at baiting..your joke because it was so lame and quite frankly no one cares.
I honestly can't remember where anyone here represented them selves as authority.
But..now we have a little substance..that was not so hard was it Bobsie??
I will say with sincerity that I appreciate your post. I heard the MiniMax and it as an excellent sounding DAC. You did not seem to believe me what I said I am non judgmental on systems. Dollars spent mean nothing and have no correlation to musical enjoyment.
As much as you say we need to cool it, you should also consider being less defensive and negative towards products you have not heard.
"As much as you say we need to cool it, you should also consider being less defensive and negative towards products you have not heard."
I am not being defensive or negative, and have heard some of what we are discussing... But more so, a through understand of the technology helps.
Not everyone has this understanding.
Of course understanding of the technology helps, but ultimately the ears are what matter most.
The reason much of the CA sector of high end audio is seen as a lunatic fringe is due to the heavy reliance on measurements and "understanding the technology".
What makes your WAV, AIFF, FLAC, ALAC or whatever files sound like real music and make you forget about DACs, computers, streamers etc is what matters. The ear is the ultimate fine tuning instrument.
"The reason much of the CA sector of high end audio is seen as a lunatic fringe is due to the heavy reliance on measurements and "understanding the technology"."
Not really where I hang out. Start reading CA, Jplay forums etc... Zero talk of measurements.

Very true... Always has been... Always will..
instead of trolling about something you read, - which imparts almost no knowledge: especially compared to listening.

Everyone who disagrees with you is a troll.. Maybe find a new hobby...
