If I ever win a lottery or inherit millions I will get a pair of these: Watched a show at Genelec's G Livelab here in Finland last night and it was sweet.

I''m pretty sure someone has posted this "the best stereo system in the world" YouTube, but now the owner has died and a family friend is trying to figure out what to do with it now that he's gone. The best responses so far are in the vein of quote:It's a bit sad that his family seems unwilling to safeguard this invaluable fragment of his being. To be frank, it is akin to safeguarding a piece of his very soul.

Give me one of the Brian Eno limited edition color changing turntables over that thing any day if I won the lottery. https://www.paulstolper.com/artists/56-brian-eno/works/143-turntable/80178-brian-eno-turntable-2021/

If your current turntable doesn't round off the corners of its sine waves with enough fidelity then Ive got the solution for you!

I mean you need to isolate the wave of the led so that they make the classical music pop right. Without the proper led isolation setup you're just going to murder the whole audio jitters. It's like you've never seen and led strobe on a camera or something

Pretty sure the turntable is expensive because they got Eno to put his name on them. I can kind of understand that, I spent too much on a UK first pressing of Before and after Science so I could get a set of the art prints it came with to frame. The Jonny Ive turntable? Not so much... tater_salad posted:and led I see people using "and" interchangeably with "an" these days and I feel like I'm going crazy.

My wife is bringing home her late father's ELAC Miracord 10H. Not sure what kind of condition it's in, and she's said it probably needs a new cartridge at a minimum, but anyone have any resources on this or if it's even worth getting up and running? We're currently using an Audio-Technica which is fine, but looking at pics, this is at least a little more interesting looking.

Looks like a nice TT, you'll want to check a few things - Stylus, may need to replace it - rotational speed and consistency, you can get test strobe sheets to print and check it - check the cartridge alignment, also using printable protracter sheets -check the auto start and return function -check and adjust the turntable weight and anti-skate force, you *can* buy a specialized scale for it, or just balance it by eye and follow some online guides on how to do it without the scale -will you be using the record changer function, where you can load up multiple records at the same time? It's more of a classical music set thing than anything else.

You probably didn't force format ID 251 when pulling those files. For a while, you had to tell youtube-dl to pick specific substreams if you wanted best quality.

Well those were both tuned by the same person so they're going to have a similar feel. You absolutely have wooden ears though, the B2 owns.

https://appletvx.com/TheMagic.htmquote:The overall result in picture and sound is startling. The picture has more detail, better color accuracy, better motion, better gamma and the improvements are not subtle. Bit rate no longer seems important. HDR is unneeded. 4K, 2K and even SD are all great. Everything is suddenly eye candy and its very addicting. The sound becomes far more detailed, more natural, more analog. Imaging improves in vast magnitudes. Depth, placement, size, space and delineation suddenly appear like a high end DAC was rendering them. Everything has texture, dimensionality and emotion. all yours for only 2500 freedombux the guy also makes a switch for 3500. unboxing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yblFCJ2-51s
