| I Was Considering Active, Then I Watched This ... phusis,Why are you going on about something that 99.9% of audiophiles have no interest in doing, and 9/10 of the remaining 0.1% are going to screw up?I am very cognizant of the DIY speaker community. There is some great craftsmanship, and some ver... | |
| I Was Considering Active, Then I Watched This ... Unfortunately phusis, your view towards active speakers is simple, just the replacement of passive crossover to active crossover. There is far more possible in terms of active speaker development that cannot be implemented in this piece-wise fashi... | |
| A vote for amber LED lights on components over blue lights. Some people are so Superior they even have their own dictionaries :-) | |
| A vote for amber LED lights on components over blue lights. Rich coming from someone who promotes cable elevators making a night and day difference.Yeah Tim but by now you must know the level of this crowd. I'm surprised they aren't all "you need room lighting correction" and "hire a lighting consultant"... | |
| Why are digital streaming equipment manufacturers refusing to answer me? Thank you cal3713, I do remember that paper ages ago. I will point directly to the conclusion:Our main conclusion, however, is that it is not necessary to invoke any advantage for hedonic judgments to explain our earlier results. These, and the ne... | |
| A vote for amber LED lights on components over blue lights. Depends on whether you mainly listen with the lights on or dark. If you listen with the lights on, blue LEDs are unlikely to bother you. If you listen in a darkened room, some blue LEDs can be bright enough to border on discomfort. It even has a t... | |
| Why are digital streaming equipment manufacturers refusing to answer me? And there is it folks, can't win an argument based on facts, or truth, so must resort to an insult and labelling.Not everyone shares your measurementalist’s belief that ABX is the "gold standard" Hate to break it to you "cleeds", but ABX has absol... | |
| Why are digital streaming equipment manufacturers refusing to answer me? And it is quite clear that you will continue to misunderstand and misstate the processes involved in an ABX audio test, even though you admitted you really don't know what happens. But, nice to state, effectively that "we'll" never know because "... | |
| Does Power Cord Require Burn-In To Sound Good? It is not a matter of "So says you". Simple fact, that so many of his claims are wrong or unsubstantiated. He should stop his rants long enough to realize that AD is Analog Devices and still very much in business. BB and LTC were just purchased by... | |
| Why are digital streaming equipment manufacturers refusing to answer me? Your example is an absolute identification test. As noted this is not applicable to the discussion. You seem to be missing the point. If you have AB and X. And have a definite "preference" for A, then when x=A, that preference should replicate. ... | |
| Does Power Cord Require Burn-In To Sound Good? Respected recording engineer who has published a lot of nonsense like that silly test at RF of cables with Kimber and tries to claim it applies to audio (showing technical ignorance), or his claims to have eliminated masking from loud sound ( I ca... | |
| suggestion for a SS class AB amp that sounds like a class A ... if such a thing exists The Benchmark distortion at low power, i.e. where crossover distortion comes into play is every bit as good and probably better than most Class-A. Same would be true of several new Class D amps. Nothing repeat nothing! solid state A/B (low bias A)... | |
| Does Power Cord Require Burn-In To Sound Good? Perhaps but that would require ignoring the ops question. Do they not deserve an answer? | |
| Why are digital streaming equipment manufacturers refusing to answer me? Again, you obviously don’t understand ABX testing which is NOT about absolute identification, i.e. picking out the 98 Bordeaux from the 96 and the 99, it’s about having 3 bottles, two 98, and one 96 and being able to tell the two 98 are the same. ... | |
| I Was Considering Active, Then I Watched This ... No one talks about ABx for speakers because the sonic character is generally enough to easily match x to A or B. Of course AB speaker comparison is very difficult due to movement and positioning issues and accurate volume matching in room without ... |
