| Why no “Break in” period? How can prof post so fast with so many words in a long post? Did he and his posts materialize out of thin air? Is he in my living room with me? | |
| Why no “Break in” period? 3. What prevents whatever the breakin process is, to stop when the equipment sounds better? Why doesn't it continue to breakin for its entire life and continue to improve? Can you step into the same river twice?Can you listen to the same cable ... | |
| Go Active Crossover or Upgrade existing XOs? Digital cross-overs are unlimited, though stock cross-overs and firmware only touch on what is possible with advanced signal processing which can do things that no analog cross-over, active or passive could ever do, especially integrated in desi... | |
| Why no “Break in” period? Why doesn’t anything sound worse when it breaks in? Probably the reason may be similar to why most equipment will sound "better" fully warmed up although that doesn’t really have to be the case. I intentionally used the word "most" since if I say... | |
| What is $5,000 worth today, and is it better than 1,600 in the 80's? The theory is basically the same but the implementation is much better now. I am not an economist so I don't know enough of inflation (except that it goes higher and higher), but the quality of equipment is "much" better now. Such examples as ca... | |
| Considering the option of "DSP speakers" A "DSP" manifesto? An audiophile brave new world? ... Can you apply it to my bedroom? https://www.dirac.com/dirac-blog/room-correction-vs-room-eq Looking forward, Dirac’s exploring ways to apply its leading room correction technology to more ... | |
| Go Active Crossover or Upgrade existing XOs? From your question it's obvious that you don't have the technical skills to start from scratch using any kind of active crossovers. To get it right is a complex process even for an experienced person, my recommendation is to leave it alone and s... | |
| Are you Beethoven or Mozart? Leonard Bernstein once said in Beethoven music, every note is a right note. No second guessing. List, on the other hands, ahem ... but they sure sound good with a sip of wine. | |
| Has to be said atdavid can write for sure. Either he has a lot of time or someone else writing for him or he just copied and pasted. I think I'll learn that when I finally retire. So what's the definition of infinity? It's called "atdavid" lols. | |
| Go Active Crossover or Upgrade existing XOs? Anything is possible with money and time. But then with too much money and time will lead to hubris. And that's why God created men and women. OK, enough hubris from me. | |
| How Science Got Sound Wrong We should also consider the difference between "perceived resolution" vs. "processed resolution". For example, when we told someone we "heard things", it's our brain told us that we "heard things", but it's possible that the brain processed a lot... | |
| Why no “Break in” period? Politely attacking somebody is still attacking. It seems like millercarbon has received a lot of that, not that I am agreeing or disagreeing with him. Hiding under the umbrella of "politeness" is not going to cut it with me. | |
| Why no “Break in” period? Time heals all wounds. People forgive, but they don't forget. There are times when they don't forgive either. Any thread that works in a reference to Uma Thurman is a thread I am going to follow..Didn't see any. . | |
| Considering the option of "DSP speakers" Also as for the Hypex plate amp mentioned above, I am not sure if the built-in digital amp is "SPDIF amp", if so then it’s possible the Hypex module does not have to go "digital to analog" conversion which is definitely a plus. Their documentation... | |
| How Science Got Sound Wrong The bass frequencies of CDs aren’t that great, either, if you ask me I am pretty sure you've got a CDP at your home. |
