Re: Help with Speaker Setup

I think adjusting what they are sitting on is fine for getting the last few % out of them..... but won't cure your problem. I think they are just in too much free space. If you have the house free to yourself, I would suggest puling them forward, moving the left hand one around the corner so that th...

Re: MUNICH HIGHEND SHOW 2023

Well, we had a great weekend of great sounds and geekery at max levels. I thought there were more rooms that sounded very good this year compared to last, so kudos to them all. Some stand outs to me: Hard not to be wowed by the crazy ESD acoustics horn system (7 horns and 3 subs per channel and 25 b...

Re: Soldering iron

Good idea to practice on something disposable first for sure. Clean the tip using a damp sponge, and then coat the tip with a small amount of the solder. Clean the thing you want to solder if you can - an old toothbrush with a bit of contact cleaner or isopropanol will work well. Making sure the iro...

Re: What HiFi "MQA is going into administration"

I use Qobuz.... and basically I find close to everything I've ever searched for.... but of course that is only the stuff I would be searching for.

Re: WIIM mini or pro?

I see there is an Amazon one day sale thingy on these on thursday. Its Amazon.de - have no clue what the discount is though. I've been reading around quite a bit on them. They seem to be a triumph of convenience...... but sound quality is "ok" - good enough for casual listening, but not up...

Re: MUNICH HIGHEND SHOW 2023

There is usually a smaller show setup at a nearby hotel for the brands that didn't get into the main show and that is usually open on the Friday.
