Im sure this pops up as a common theme for many fishes but due to recent chemo and radiotherapy my inner ears have lost significant high frequency response. NHS hearing aids help normal conversation but sadly the HiFi sounds rubbish. I'm missing my Harbeths etc big time. Has anyone found any...

Perhaps it's me being a numpty here but since upgrading to 1.8 and dropping tidal weird stuff is happening. First of all my collection of Diana Krall has gone AWOL, not a single album in my library. Secondly every other album shows up twice!!! Ok so some stuff could have been only in my tidal...

Not sure if this has been discussed before? Got some new patio doors being fitted very soon and the builder is cutting away the concrete screed to accept the new flush track for the doors. Does anyone have experience of u channel or profile that would work well sub-floor. Width is 2.5m and will...

The adoption of portrait mode for my large Samsung tablet is the biggest step forward for me. About bl@@dy time too... I need to explore all the other stuff.

My roon rock has been utterly reliable since installation over 6 months ago. The pi with LMS used to present regular challenges that seemed to absorb so much time. I've got 3 Chromecast devices, usb from the rock and spdif from a digione signature all feeding in. The dsp is a bonus and very...

We use an echo dot via Bluetooth to the aforementioned Sony srs-x55. It works perfectly. In fact any Bluetooth speaker will work. For a bigger sound and FM then a used Denon DM38... etc with a Chromecast audio would be great. The later Denon units have Bluetooth and a decent internal dac but...

Compared my QSP with a class D. The bass on ths class D was amazing, very crisp, no overhang. As per Fretbuzz's comments. sadly the top and mids were underwhelming. Not all class D are the same. Personally the purify design looks intriguing. I've just finished a Neurochrome Semi DIY amp (class...

Yes I agree it depends on what you want, or perhaps can't live without.. very much a personal thing. I played around with dirac and mini dsp and this gave me some clues as to what was happening. With 3 models of Lockwood speakers they had more of a mid to low bass hump which gives the...

Demoed both Harbeth shl5+ and the Eatons for a few weeks. Harbeth won hands down. Much more natural and open sounding. The Eatons have a punchy bass but don't go lower. They are congested in the mids and upper bass. Not as flat as the Harbs. Using much more power with the Harbs gives a similar...

Danny from lockwood lent me 3 pairs of his speakers for demo in my room at home a few weeks ago. Hugely impressive and big sound. Worked well in my 4.7 x 3.7 room. Decided I preferred the tonality and delicacy of my Harbeths over the Tannoy lockwood combo. The lockwoods were fab for rock, jazz...

I was using chord 2qute->khozmo passive into my QSP. Swiched to a Soncoz sgd1 dac/pre and it blew the qute/khozmo away. Speak to Keith at Purite Audio who will likely lend you one for demo. Not heard the allegri but the stable high prices suggest it works well

Yes I think we have to rethink our ways of listening. €25 does not go far trawling round dealers listening to stuff, ie. Petrol etc. I wanted to hear a croft preamp in my system but it was such a faff. I wouldve had to drive for 3hrs each way and cart my kit. Dealer would not send anything as...

The Darko review of the s500 is very compelling. 25hz all in one and €25 to demo for 45 days.i think this very good value too but that won't resonate with some out there. Considering you are getting streamer, dac, actives, room correction, tuning possibilities... its impressive. I've no doubt...

Ahh...I stand corrected! Thanks for the tip!

I'm getting increasingly disillusioned with the whole Qobuz roon thing. Signed up for both however Roon does not seem to show what's playing on Radio Paradise so if I hear a track I like I have to go off to the rp site to check the playlist. Roon is good at recommending music via roon radio...
