| What is Your Opinion of Atmos Music? That solves your problem, no need to get an Apple thing, stick with Sony. The Z1R are extra-nice headphones. | |
| What is Your Opinion of Atmos Music? @kota1 The article is out of date in some respects, Apple added spatial audio monitoring to Logic Pro at version 10.7.3 (current version is 10.7.5). Both Apple and Dolby user guidance describe this (on the production side, which the writer was ad... | |
| Only two tracks to test your system, forever! @duckworp Lana Del Ray - Venice B**ch. The width and depth of this marvellous production and the layering of the textures will really test the system. Can the system present this complicated production as a homogenous whole? Does the sound co... | |
| What is Your Opinion of Atmos Music? @kota1 I forgot to mention: the cheapest Apple source (if you did want to try AirPods Pro or Max) is of course an AppleTV box. You probably get a free trial period of Apple Music with that. And you get to try all the spatial things. | |
| What is Your Opinion of Atmos Music? @kota1 I intend to listen in my main listening system (in my profile). The DAC/pre I bought is the Sony Signature TA-ZH1ES. I can use it as a DAC with my HT processor, as a 2 CH preamp connected directly with my active speakers (they have both ... | |
| Ditching Class A Amps due to Heat - Sort of a Poll @atmasphere thanks, that post was informative (both class D and Krell bias discussion). As I mentioned, I’d like to hear a Purifi class D design (either 1ET400 or 1ET7040 based). I’m still happy to buy a Krell Evolution e-series though, I see it... | |
| Ditching Class A Amps due to Heat - Sort of a Poll PS: I did look longingly at the KAS pair that a guy in Melbourne advertises from time to time. Beautiful. Logistics though. Re your amps, KRS 200 was the original Class A version and the S was their sustained plateau bias model, yes? | |
| Ditching Class A Amps due to Heat - Sort of a Poll @clearthinker Sorr @axo1989 New Krells are NOT pure Class A. So called anticipator circuits don’t work So called plateau bias doesn’t work. No short cut to good sound. No free lunch. I didn’t mention new Krell, Evolution series are D’Agostino... | |
| Ditching Class A Amps due to Heat - Sort of a Poll As it happens, Class A has been on my shopping list lately. So my answers are ’no’ to all three questions. But energy consumption issues do factor in. As others have mentioned, various manufacturers use plateau bias to reduce typical class A powe... | |
| Only two tracks to test your system, forever! There are some good tracks here. My favourite for sorting out a big system is The Comedown from Bring Me The Horizon’s Suicide Season album: nice sub-bass synth notes under the general mathrock drum/riffage chaos and too much sonic layering for m... | |
| Why are there so many wooden box speakers out there? @cherbib Andrew Jones is out with a new concentric two-way….it’s a box. I've mentioned upthread that the two pyramid parallelepiped shapes tested per the Olson paper @kenjit cites performed approximately as well as the ideal sphere. Guess whi... | |
| Audio Science Review = Rebuttal and Further Thoughts @kota1 Think of the paradigm shift, manufacturers quickly figure out the cheapest way to make a graph look good because their market will convince themselves it sounds good because of the graph, no matter what. Topping, surely. Sanctified by ... | |
| Why are there so many wooden box speakers out there? @kenjit Do you not find it the least bit suspicious that the materials and methods used to make high end speakers also happen to be the cheapest? Are we being duped? High-end Magico use complex construction of machined aluminium with carbon-f... | |
| Why are there so many wooden box speakers out there? @kenjit yes here’s a link Interesting how close the two 'truncated pyramid and parallelepiped’ examples were to the sphere. And better than the hemisphere. Andrew Jones should be stoked. But note the somewhat limited scope of measurement: 10... | |
| Why are there so many wooden box speakers out there? @kenjit nonsense. You cant patent a shape. Why hasn’t anybody patented the rectangular box? You may be able to patent an implementation of a shape. Apple irritated the always irritable interwebs by protecting their rectangle with rounded corne... |
