Hi end audio equip sounds better today than in decades past due to tech - T/F
I can understand people who don’t like vintage speakers form 50-60x.But I moved to vintage speakers 16 years ago and I don’t regret.These speakers suites more for acoustical music but some of them can rock too. Old speakers are also exceptionally ...

Thermal Compression is a speaker voice coil heating. The voice coil impedance increasing with heat, so sensitivity goes done, crossover frequency floats. Ferrite magnets field decreasing with heat too that leads to change of Qms and Qts of speaker...

It is sad that there are a lot of audiophile here who don’t have any idea that records made from 1955 to 1964 sound best, much better than most modern digital records.They don’t have any idea how do great sound speakers from the same era.Most of m... 
Where are the young audiophiles?
IMHO the on of reasons is -The record quality of modern pop music, which most of young people like to listen, is very bad.Basically this music recorder for listening on boombox and car audio. 
So you think wire conductors in cables are directional? Think again...
@jasonbourne52 , Audio hobby if for listening not for measuring. If you are deaf and can’t listen cables difference  - change the hobby. 
Where are the young audiophiles?
The is no too much correlation between money invested in audio and sound quality of the system. It is more depended from a persons' musical test, knowledge, experience, skills. Audio is not plug and play. You can spend a lot of money and get nothi... 
Biggest audio hoaxes
Low sensitive box speakers can sound dynamic with super powerful amplification.It is not true because thermal distortions. 
So you think wire conductors in cables are directional? Think again...
If someone does not hear the direction of the wires, then either he is deaf or the system has a very low resolution.The fact that engineers and scientists do not know how to measure it is the problem of imperfect models and measuring instruments. ...

Affordable audio got much better. High End audio got more expensive with a similar quality.The niche between the high end was filled with direct selling companies like Tekton, Schiit Audio, Emotiva, Woo Audio ...And I think it is great!I am not fa...

This is very timely...
I want to add that extremely flat frequency response and extremely low distortions don't have correlation to the real listening. The religious belief in measurements shows the incompetence of the author. 
This is very timely...
If audio writers who praise these products asked mainstream speaker designers why they don’t make super-efficient speakers, they’d learn that with efficiency comes compromises—in frequency-response linearity, dispersion, distortion, and power hand... 
What do we hear when we change the direction of a wire?
@djones51 ,My experience is based on what I can or can't hear.It doesn't based of religious believe in science.I talk about the model that have more correlation to what we hear than current models. Most of the audio religious apostles of science d...
