Loads fully in an incognito window for me. That said, that preamp really is a thing of beauty!
Older people like myself remember that the essential things you'd unpack after moving into a new apartment were the mattress and the multi-component stereo system. All the other things could wait for a few days/weeks/months. It's strange how kids these days don't really care any more about having a phat sound system in their apartments.
I don't consider myself an audiophile and I'm sure they'd scoff at the Klipsch speakers I have hooked up to my HTPC and home theater. But even then, listening to the Ultra HD selection on Amazon Music and 4K Blu-Rays as opposed to streaming, there's a noticeable upgrade in sound quality. I think you'd be hard-pressed to get anything close to the same level of sound out of headphone speakers or even a soundbar just based on the relative sizes of the speakers.
Of course, like I said, the true (and wealthy) enthusiasts would probably look at my setup and laugh, because there's always more money to be thrown at something like that.
A train manufactured by a Polish company suddenly broke down during maintenance. The experts were helpless – the train was fine, it just wouldn’t run. In a desperate last gasp, the Dragon Sector team was called in to help, and its members found wonders the train engineers had never dreamed of.
„Gentlemen Coders was founded in 2016 by Nik Bhatt, an 18 year veteran of Apple. His roles in the Photo Apps group included Senior Director of Engineering and Chief Technical Officer. He also led the RAW Camera and Core Image teams, as well as the imaging team for the Mac version of Photos.”
How have I missed this all this time? RAW Power looks like exactly what I was looking for a few years back when I realized there was no non-subscription upgrade path from Lightroom 6, and I trialed just about the entire market, settling on the generally-fine Capture One.
Capture One continues to be generally-fine and it does at least still have an (expensive) upgrade path to the latest non-subscription version, but I will definitely have to look into RAW Power.
