| When are people going to wake up and realize listening is a skill? Hey MC, I think the track analogy works rather well inasmuch as its a description of how anyone can get better at a skill. Many years ago JA in Stereophile (I believe it was JA) posted a similar analogy using the learning curve of a radiologist r... | |
| Loudest Sound Ever? BTW I think our avatars are good company..............Regards,barts | |
| Loudest Sound Ever? @millercarbon But what about Supertramp "loud". Must be near the envelope to crush matter into a singularity, yes? And, as an aside, I particularly like the Hawking theory that black holes evaporate! Wowzers that some critical listening/thinkin... | |
| Loudest Sound Ever? My son and I would go to Englishtown Raceway Park for the drags every year, we would go on Friday for qualifying, very few fans, drivers and mechs very accessible.One our first trip we went directly to the pits and watched a top fuel team prep the... | |
| Loudest Sound Ever? @rodman99999 I thought the same...how could there be a "bang" if there was no medium for the sound to travel through.As well as the old saw "If a tree falls in the woods..........etcetera"Regards,barts | |
| Loudest Sound Ever? @tomic601 I was in the Marine Corps in the field in NC on a base that had a steam catapult for practicing prior to going hot on a boat.We were carrier capable but not assigned to a carrier.Me and couple of buddies are walking in an open space to g... | |
| Loudest Sound Ever? @fuzztone PM@tomic601 Been on CVN-65 launching F-14s. Love it.@middlemass particularly LOUD I assume.Regards,barts | |
| How To Do You Measure the Quality of Your AC Power? As mentioned many times above (very good advice) it seems like you have a voltage drop problem for whatever reason. Please pursue this with the appropriate pros as detailed above very well. If you are curious to "see" what's happening for yoursel... | |
| Bass sensation like a loud car system in home? @dizbuster Funny you should say that because in my original music room (with double hung windows from 1957) I had to chase down all the buzzing and mitigate as I went. Then I could finally let the Hartleys rip and amazingly to me I cracked all th... | |
| Bass sensation like a loud car system in home? I own a pair of Hartley Reference, a full range speaker with the 24" as the woofers. My understanding is that the 24"ers are no longer produced and very difficult to find on the open market. It took me over two years to find a pair on the inter... | |
| So damn hard deciding which tube preamp to buy! Although it seems that you’re getting a kick out of posting a seemingly ridiculous proposition...I’ll play.At least figure out the basics as listed above several times. Then pick three brands and find a store in a big city that can demo all three.... | |
| ORANGE Fuse rejected I am making the assumption that this thread is about power line fuses, correct? It seems to make sense to me that speaker fuses would make a much greater difference as they are carrying a "signal" not just current.Has any one experimented with sp... | |
| And My Budget Is... Responsibly well. Excellent phrase, seems like something Marcus Aurelius would think or maybe Seneca or one of the other Stoics.I too don't set budgets, by that I mean I have a reasonable idea of where in the scheme of everything a purchase sho... | |
| Why the cost increase? The GAO estimates that 40% of stimulus checks were used to pay down debt or saved in bank accounts. Both of which stimulates nothing.A friend in Boston was furloughed (company still paid health, life etc benefits) so technically not "laid off". ... | |
| Why the cost increase? My understanding of this rise in lumber pricing has very little to do with the availability of raw lumber. During Covid shutdowns mills were forced to close. In many cases the worker bees scattered. Restrictions are then lifted and not only hav... |
