| Some famous reviewers have atrocious listening rooms! This seems to me like weighing yourself every morning on a scale that is off by 10 pounds. So what, as long as it's consistent you will see if you are losing or gaining. So (hopefully) they know how their room sounds and by extension they know w... | |
| Name 3 songs where audio quality and song quality completely align Hey @hilde45 Rather surprised that you don't think that SD albums don't have top shelve recording, mixing and mastering. They certainly don't sound forward or harsh on my system, rather pin-point accurate. I say this partially due to the fact ... | |
| Unscrupulous ebay buyers @audioguy85 Sorry for the sitch you find yourself in. You earlier stated that the buyer thought the cartridge "too warm". My bet is on the SO who "How much did that f'ing cost! @#(*$##@$(@!. And then too warm turned into too HOT. I know this ... | |
| Biamping vs only inserting an Active crossover @jumia I’ve been tri-amping for years and I’ll probably never go back to a single amp again. the biggest benefit (to me) is that none of the amps knows what the other amps are doing. So, you can be playing along nice and loud and there is major... | |
| Parasound Grabs a good Pair!!! I have always enjoyed grabbing a good pair...nicely! But not the pair you guys are talkin' about. Regards, barts | |
| Psychologist dissects Pink Floyd's 'Dark Side of the Moon' @clearthinker OK you may be correct that they are "the most over-rated". Let me ask two things: Have you ever enjoyed listening to it? And how do you suppose DSOTM spent over 1000 weeks on the Billboard chart top selling 100 albums? Just curi... | |
| Ray Charles - "Rap is not music" Every generation feels the need to be more outrageous than the last just to get the attention they "deserve". I personally don't get rap and it seems to me to be more ethnically based than not. Can someone please explain the difference between r... | |
| DAC failure? @nevada_matt Just out of curiosity after you unplugged it and it cooled down have you tried it again? Regards, barts | |
| Fatal error @czarivey Not trying to explain anything to you, I thought it humorous that you posted a thread about a DB error, that's all! I too worked in IT for many decades, now retired. I applaud you for 30 yrs, I know how difficult it can be. First ... | |
| Fatal error What database? What console? They're not invisible...they're just unprintable so appear as blanks (which they are not). Regards, barts | |
| Proof of improvements in audio system sound quality.... @digitalviper I was only replying in kind to your very funny original post. No rudeness intended. I repeat: Post some pics of your system and your will get much farther "down the road" (pun intended) with some valuable responses. Regards, b... | |
| Proof of improvements in audio system sound quality.... @tonywinga Yes I watched about 10 minutes, will definitely finish it though. I'll bet it set "Audiophiledom" back about 20 years! LOL. Regards, barts | |
| Spikes on tower speakers My speakers are Hartley Reference, yes the one with the 24" woofers (each powered by ARC SS amps running as mono blocks in a tri-amp system). They weigh about 300 lbs each. I use teflon footers that are about 1.25" in diameter so that I can move... | |
| Proof of improvements in audio system sound quality.... @digitalviper Is that your Viper? If so, just wait until you can't drive it properly (Vipers are notoriously difficult) then sell it and buy a real HiFi system. Of course by then you probably won't be able to hear. What a conundrum! Okay if... | |
| Whittling down my choices to a final few pair... @cwolff09 My beloved bride and I are down to the last few pairs of speakers (I'm rolling the proverbial dice on all of these, going by Internet Opinions I'm a little confused: you and your wife came up with a short list of speakers that you a... |
