    Quad Platina Range.

    Bill, don't put other people's words in my mouth. It was about the correction of the acoustics of the room, as the main factor affecting the sound. Dirac/Audyssey is the easiest way to achieve a good result. The circuitry of a modern transistor amplifier has NO effect on the formation of sound...

    Quad Platina Range.

    This is a common audiophile misconception. In fact, a multi-channel receiver is the best choice for stereo, due to the fact that there is a room correction function (Dirac, Audyssey), which is key to getting a good sound. And this is just one example.

    Quad Platina Range.

    I wouldn't advise anyone to buy stereo amplifiers at this price (£3,500), especially audiophile brands. $1000 AV Receiver (Onkyo RZ30) Fully Covers the Audio Needs of a Typical (Small) Home Room

    Acoustic room optimization

    The link is the same chatter. This dude does not give practical recommendations, only general phrases.

    Acoustic room optimization

    In the video, this dude only talks—he doesn't provide any practical examples. Beware of such people.

    Which of these DAC's is "best"?

    All DACs perform the same, regardless of brand and price tag. Everything else is marketing.

    Price/quality ratio on my first setup, what do you think?

    The sound of your audio system 80% depends on how good acoustic conditions in your room. To improve the “sound” of your room, you can use both active correction methods (Dirac, YPAO, Cavern EQ, etc.), as well as passive - various acoustic panels, bass-traps, etc. And only after you solve the...

    Do amplifiers sound different

    Old speakers' power rating

    There are no amplifiers on the market that will have problems with your speakers. Even with a minimum power of 20W

    Old speakers' power rating

    :ROFLMAO: Don't fill your head with unnecessary thoughts. You have small speakers, which are not a problem for any amplifier, and the problem of "compatibility" of speakers and amplifier in home audio also does not exist. Therefore, buy any home audio amplifier and listen to music.

    Question Using a budget power amp with an audiophile integrated amp?

    The stories of audiophiles that an amplifier affects the sound is a myth that dates back to the 1960-70s, when audio technology was just in its infancy and circuitry was imperfect. Today, choosing an amplifier “by sound” makes no sense; all transistor amplifiers in typical home rooms “sound” the...

    Room size vs Equipement power

    There's nothing useful there. The choice of acoustics is offered according to marketing parameters such as frequency and impedance, which are manipulative concepts. You need to focus on the volume of the case, speaker size and sensitivity

    Advice new hifi system

    A waste of money, expensive little fancy speakers that are too small for your room. Buy WiiM AMP + normal passive large speakers, for example JBL E100 with 10" woofers, or if you are in the USA, then Cerwin Vega
