| Are your record surfaces as silent as CDs? tomcy6 2,526 posts 03-13-2024 at 12:00pm @benanders, You may not have noticed, but digital streaming is now making up about 85% of record company revenues. That may have something to do with the decline of cd sales. Hi @tomcy6 not sur... | |
| Are your record surfaces as silent as CDs? Vinyl will never, ever, ever be as quiet as CD’s. However, vinyl can easily sound as quiet as CD’s given sufficient QC (no need for 180 / 200 gram for this) and proper use. Biggest factors should be playback volume and whether or not you grew up... | |

| I am about to embark on my next upgrade journey @upward_bound REL’s designer advocates a relatively low crossover point for their subs, correct?

| Stuff You Tried To Love chayro 03-07-2024 6:46pm I know we talk a lot about confirmation bias- we buy something and then convince ourselves we like it. Or something like that. That’s something, but it’s not confirmation bias. cleeds 5,590 posts 03-07-... | |
| Why do some amplifiers throw a bigger soundstage than others? atmasphere 11,505 posts 03-08-2024 at 12:15am ”is this statement meant to rule out bass as being important to listener perception of soundstage?” @benanders Yes.
