    Dual Mono / Monoblock - L/R Channel Separation

    I was thinking about this more as you do when you wake up at 3.30 in the morning :confused: .... I think the separation is greater than you'd experience in real life and wonder if that's why I found it a little "strange" bordering on unnerving. It's so distict from one side to the other...

    Q: streamer. Is it worth upgrading?

    Sounds like the OP's using a 5.1 setup which he wouldn't be able to do with the Evo ... as good as they are.

    Q: streamer. Is it worth upgrading?

    I'd get yourself a Pro Plus on Amazon knowing you can start a return up to 30 days and then still have 30 days to get it .... in essence 2 months and do a comparison to see what you think. I say the Plus as I'm assuming you're using the onboard DAC on the AVR (as you only mention 1 DAC which I...

    Spotify music only tier.

    Afraid I'm actually with @manicm on this ..... I think Spotify have shot themselves in the foot from a music point of view. Maybe it's a market they're not concerned about and see podcasts as their future ..... in which case the music side will become even more 2 tier to other providers over time.

    Q: streamer. Is it worth upgrading?

    I had CCA's and switched to WiiM's but really only because they offered greater compatibility / flexibility with devices and streaming services and I also wondered if they may phase out Chromecast support at some stage but now wonder if I got that wrong. CCA's are capped at 24/96 whereas other...

    Question Poll, what do you think, is vinyl better or CD?

    The one that when you hear it evokes such an incredible emotional response, against your better judgement you completely lose control over your actions and reluctantly end up playing with yourself in a public place until there's a happy ending. In other words the sort of response that's...

    Sub advice

    It's not a big room and possibly doesn't need one but if you want to try something to see what difference it makes I'd look at either a REL TZero or one of the entry level BKelectronics subs, both are quite music rather than movie centric and often come up on fleabay 2nd hand. You could try it...

    Dual Mono / Monoblock - L/R Channel Separation

    Thanks to all for the replies, if nothing else it's confirmed it's not me going mad and it seems whilst I'd have reservations about jumping in with both feet when I have some reservations and the cost involved, concsensus seems to be I'd get used to it. I've had a slight change of circumstances...

    Dual Mono / Monoblock - L/R Channel Separation

    That's the configuration of the IN300 and as you say it just seemed disquieting as not used to it. Problam is it was on a home demo and has now gone back, if I were to change for the amps other "better" qualities it's a big leap of faith as the change would cost quite a lot and then maybe more...

    Dual Mono / Monoblock - L/R Channel Separation

    I recently had an Atoll IN300 on home trial which from what I understand with it's 2 power supplies is in essence a Dual Mono setup which shares the same powerlead etc. Something I immediately noticed was the width of soundstage and how seperated the left and right channels / speakers seemed...

    Best ways to upgrade... for free!

    I discovered the ear lobe but by chance a few years ao, the hearing in my left ear isn't great and sitting sideways on a sifa with my feet up and resting my head in my hand found I could hear dialogue on the TV much better. I've recently done a lot of listening with my eyes shut and can't hear...

    Atoll IN 300 Amplifier - Anyone got / heard one?

    Interested in any feed back anyone may have on the IN 300 in general, if you've bought one and if so what you had before and what else you compared it against or anyone that auditioned it and bought something you felt was better and if so what you bought instead / preferred and why. Also does...

    Qobuz App on PC not showing Chromecast speaker groups.

    If I'm using the Qobuz App on a PC, it shows the individual Chromecast devices but it doesn't show any Chromecast soeakergroups I've created. I tried it on my Mini iPad as well and initially it was the same but after a while it did show the groups, they also show up in Tidal and Amazon Music so...
