When tired, I enjoy West Coast Jazz.

Got my new speakers a few days ago. Today I was finally able to stop listening to test tracks, and enjoy music properly (lights out, shades and eyes closed...) Only had time to spin two discs, but boy was it an experience! 'Dido and Aeneas' had me in chills so powerful I couldn't believe it. The...

Too many to list today... Spent the whole day in the pöang spinning discs and doing nothing else.

Thank you!

Hello Classical fans! I don't want to create a new thread for such a small question, so I'll ask this here.   Could someone help me identify the piece of music playing in this video? The uploader says in the desctription that the owner of the system uses this setup to listen to the...

Are you Norah Jones' mastering engineer? Oh wait, it's a joke. 

Ignore what I said and go with bigshot's advice haha.

To answer one of your questions:   2) You can't improve the sound quality of an audio file by "upconverting" it. Doing this will only result in a bigger filesize, but not an increase in fidelity (you can't add information that's not there, right?). To get the full benefit of lossless...
