Re: Device for hires audio streaming/playback
Awesome, thanks! Do you have any experience with lower cost products? Considering the Android box sound is bypassed, would a better mini PC/Android/Linux-based platform come close? The only problem I have with the current box, as a 35 quid cheapo is its network/WiFi credentials lending jitter and in...

Device for hires audio streaming/playback
I've started ripping CDs to my PC harddrive in FLAC format using dBpoweramp. This will become a digital backup when I copy to an external harddrive probably used for playback. I currently use an Android box to access my local network for the CD files but as mentioned, eventually this will be via an ...

Re: Music as energy
"I just wanted to add that I don't wholly agree that music is totally removed from intellectual impetus." I didn't say that, read it again the mind or Yi in the energetic arts is an energy center, and I say so. Yi = Mental energy and intent Li = Physical energy and action Qi = Feeling ene...

Re: Music as energy
Really interesting post doc, thank you for writing it. I'm currently on holiday and somewhat relaxed, so I might not pick up your points particularly well! But anyway, my penny's-worth below. I don't know enough about the eastern religions and philosophies to comment. However, the thought has often ...

Your fav' CD players
List your favourite CD players past and present and why. There are quite a few historic CD player threads on the forum but none with a load of HFS opinion of this kind in one spot. Vinyl, streaming, cassette, transport/DAC: all great, but not for this thread. Look forward to hearing everyone's exper...

Re: NVA Reviews (THIS THREAD IS ONLY FOR STASHING REVIEWS)
NVA A40s mk3, P50sa passive pre-amplifier, LS6 loudspeaker cable In some ways, this review has been easy to write - I'll say now: I love this kit. I'll start by briefly setting the scene... I listen mostly to dead pianists on crackly old recordings. I'm used to substandard sound, trying to pick out...

Re: The "Mock The DJ-Culture " thread
I totally agree, utter :Bllocks: But there is some skill to it. Perhaps any of us could learn the technical side of it pretty swiftly but the main part is possibly the mood of a room and how to 'bring it up and down' effectively - seems to be what these deaf kids look for. Of course, venues/clubs wa...
