| Full loom of the same cable brand vs mixing and matching. Does the internal wiring of the DAC / amp / speaker / etc. match that of the interconnects and power cord? Then how’s that system “full loom?” Hipster kitsch-phrase marketing, anyone? Feels like I read about this kind of socioeconomically-based e... | |
| How often, and how, do you clean your stylus? I do similar as @snilf only with the Japanese Onzow device on a little purpose-built riser. Volume on, to listen for contact. Seconding @mijostyn ‘s concern for blue tack. There’s also a greasy component to that stuff (why you should also never u... | |
| An ANSWER....of sorts...... Erratum: my comment above should’ve read “…me you think you’re…” but I tend to be poor at typing as the crow flies. They make too much distracting racket and I bunny-trail myself; probably why I manage real writing projects more at the tortoise’s ... | |
| An ANSWER....of sorts...... mijostyn 8,217 posts 05-10-2024 at 10:28pm @immatthewj not to worry. Everyone is. @mijostyn tell me you’re omniscient without using the word. @asvjerry LMFAO*, as per usual. *Lending My Full Attention Oste... | |
| An ANSWER....of sorts...... @17% increase only?? Arnold’s agent made clear he’ll only entertain real-time Dutch Schaefer reprisals for thematic escape rooms once a full >25% shield SA is had. I tried to explain that to be the unnecessary metric it is: His dread[lock]ed o... | |
| Ethernet cable for music streaming cooper52 05-07-2024 4:15am … I'm not getting the sound quality from my Innuos PulseMini streamer that I think it's capable of and I've never been able to put my finger on what the weak link in my system is. … That’s probably not the firm... | |
| Speakers On Wheels? peter_s 1,314 posts 05-09-2024 at 04:55am Make sure that two out of the four wheels are lockable in place Or if using 3 wheels, that 2 of the 3 wheels lock in place. No speakers spinning doughnuts, please 😉 | |
| New expensive power cord for amp and no change in sound? secretguy 1,584 posts 05-07-2024 at 05:28am I'm shocked. Shocked, I tell ya. This is the worst experience to get when you grab hold of a new power cord. | |
| 18 inch subwoofer vs multiple 12 inch subwoofers with bookshelf speakers I too generally have preferred multiple subs, especially when crossing to small (bookshelf type) mains. Driver Xmax and surface area will not be the same. Depending on how you plan to integrate the subs, that may not be a negligible difference. A... | |
| Anyone listen to entire albums? I listen to at least 50% of the album 100% of the time when I’m playing a 7”. Unless I’m interrupted. | |
| Does Every Track Sound Great on Your System? 12many OP 221 posts 05-03-2024 at 02:42am Thanks all. Good info. My issue is not so much about a poor quality recording, just that some good recordings are coming across with a bit too much bass energy, while other sound good, even when t... | |
| Does Every Track Sound Great on Your System? 12many 05-02-2024 6:23am By way of example with a focus on bass, for some songs I like the amount of bass, then another song I feel like it needs more bass to hit harder, and then another song I feel like there is too much bass and it is boomy... | |
| REAL MUSIC VS. SHOW MUSIC PERFORMANCE AT AUDIO SHOWS. PRESENTATION V. PERFORMANCE? WHY? To me, performance would seem far more important for the marketing opp. Lose that and forfeit any real purpose to one’s expo/show investment. “Yes, YES, ‘Yesterday’ sounded sublime in room xyz; too bad I’ve been fatigued of the song for the past t... | |
| Worst Speakers Ever?? ozzy 7,206 posts 04-28-2024 at 03:22am The worst speaker I have ever tried/owned was the Carver Line Source. I had at the time the Carver Raven amps, which I liked, so when these speakers came out, I thought they would be a perfect match. WR... | |
| What if a high end speaker measures really badly? It’s curious that expectation bias from speaker measurements is just as likely to develop as from a speaker’s: appearance, price, name brand etc. (i.e. “conventional” sources of such bias). Where measurements get interesting is how folks can have... |
