i currently have the jbl lsr305s and in general i see people say that its best to use studio monitors for PC setup, but I live in an apartment and I feel like they are too loud, like yeah i can turn down the volume, but the amount of sound coming from them is a lot regardless of volume, if you...

I know in general they all have poor dynamic range, but there seem to be multiple versions, like there is the original then multiple remasters I think Is this one from barnes and nobles good to buy? https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-college-dropout-kanye-west/8150119

I can't seem to find a good choice because everything I find the reviews say either the treble is piercing or the bass is trash. I am treble sensitive so definitely prefer a warmer sound. Thinking maybe $500 range? Pissing me off that I can't seem to find a good pair of passive speakers. I...

I know the older one they had wasn't really a tube amp cos it was some hybrid BS but this seems to be a legit tube amp and it has an integrated phono preamp! Seems pretty decent especially for the price and I figure the tubes could be changed to give top tier audio quality. I love and prefer...

Its a littledot mk III. I really like it. I was wondering if there is like a metal box or something (that has slits in it so the heat doesn't build up) and I can just put it over my tubes or at least just have it when I store my tube amp to protect the tubes? Thinking something like this but...

Besides the almost 1000$ What makes the 820 cost so much more?

I hear in general remasters are bad quality with a lot of compression and partaking of the loudness wars ...is this one good? https://smile.amazon.com/Revolver-Beatles/dp/B0025KVLTC/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=beatles+revolver+cd&qid=1634163094&sr=8-1

Tbh I been happy with my JBL lsr305s but i recently made a friend who is a literal millionaire and I went to his house/mansion and in his living room he has this tall standing speakers and a tube amp and some other equipment i dont even know, but it sounds AMAZING and tbh now I want to get...

the dunu tridents were the OG recommendation, but seems they are discontinued. What do you think is their spiritual successor? For reference: the Sennheiser HD 650 is my favorite pair of cans of all time. Also I would like a pair of iems that have MMCX or 2 pin connectors.

I know most people recommend studio monitors and I got monitors, but I want something more aesthetic as I feel my 5" jbls look too bulky And I don't mind sacrificing a bit of sound quality for aesthetics. On the other hand I don't want to go back to tinny ass "computer speakers" What would you...

not looking to get a subwoofer or anything, but just want to replace the factory speakers in my ford explorer as they are pretty bad. I want something that sounds nice without a a sharp/fatiguing treble. Not looking to spend too much as this is an old car so whatever is the best bang for buck...

With most dac amps when you plug in your headphones it mutes your speakers or you can only select headphones or speakers with a button. I used to have a custom built o2odac that had RCA out in the back with 1/4 headphone jack and I'd use a passive volume control to control the speakers and I...

I like warm sound which is why I use the hd 650 at home and koss porta pro on the go. I like the porta pro cos it sounds nice, super light weight and is flush with the side of my head rather than sticking out like many headphones do (looks bad on my head) However I often feel like people look...

He seems to know quite a bit about photography and audio and I do enjoy watching him xD Notice he has so much money, but he still uses a dongle for wired headphones rather than trying to flex the latest bose headphones or apple earpods! Any idea what they are? Are they good?

Basically I want to buy this one https://www.amazon.com/Beatles-1967-1970/dp/B003YNFYD8 but I assume it's a remaster and not as good. The main song I want from it is "don't let me down", so if there is another cd you guys recommend that has this song I'm down to buy it instead. thanks

I use "stop after current" very often and I have a global hotkey for it, but I cannot easily tell if it is activated or not, especially if I fat finger the hotkey and am not sure if I enabled it or not. Is there any way to add a clickable enable/disable or check mark/blank button on foobar so...

i mostly just have gotten flacs of songs i like, but even though hes kinda crazy, i love kanyes album, my beautiful dark twisted fantasy, i am listening to it right now in order and i think ill even buy it on vinyl! i dont own a vinyl setup, but my dad does and i will listen to it at his place...

I got "stop after current" as a global hotkey for when I want to stop the music after the current song, but I want some kind of indication in case i miss click the key or something, is there anyway to get a notification when it's activated, or at least make it so when I go to the player I can...

should i just put the output bit depth in auto? dither always or never? should i pick any dsps? Anything from the "other" section?

I know they aren't lossless, but sometimes there are songs that I want that I can't easily get a lossless copy of. Google is 320kbps, itunes is 256, so would google automatically be a bit better or are there any factors that make iTunes better? I know the difference would be indiscernible, but...

Obviously I try to snag a flac wherever I can, but sometimes I can't and my only option is to buy the song online. I've been using google play music cos they got 320kbps, but you can only download the song twice and then you have to install the google play music app which is complete garbage and...

not sure why, but on my bose sound link bluetooth headphones and my sennheiser 4.4, whenever the audio is about to play there is a hiss in the back ground. Like you can tell when the headphones receive audio signal and then they activate and there is a constant hiss. I'm using a samsung galaxy...

I know bose is overpriced, but i like their aesthetic. I want to get the sound link instead of quiet comfort because it's 100$ cheaper and i don't like active noise canceling becauese it makes me feel dizzy/nauseous and i feel like closed ear headphones isolate enough for me.

i really love my tube amp for music, but for gaming and everything else i prefer the o2odac. don't have much room on my desk, so basically i keep the tube amp in a closet and carry it over and connect it when i want to enjoy it. should i maybe get a small side table next to my desk or what...

i googled it, but i have no idea what i'm reading! so basically the power tubes transfer power from the power brick and put them in the driver tubes which physically alter the sound?
