| What makes speaker's sound big? I asked the DIY audio community here in UK about room filing, all absorbing sound and the consensus was basically “big boxes, and the biggest box is your room so use it”. Hence the 6 foot high backloaded horns that now grace the end of my living ... | |
| Funny how streaming/digital still chases that analog benchmark. Re: “clueless 17 year olds”...My 18 year old has his own music studio with some great kit - some beautiful monitors his grandfather made the cabinets for out of cherry; some 9x2 line arrays so his band can hear themselves well; two subs to fill th... | |
| Funny how streaming/digital still chases that analog benchmark. Mrbobm - the voice of sanity. You put many of us to shame. Chapeau! | |
| Funny how streaming/digital still chases that analog benchmark. The opposite is also true. Vinyl analogue is working really hard to achieve what a quality digital stream finds easy. By spending the thick end of £50,000 on hardware and another £50,000 on records, plus a load of fiddling, you might get close to ... | |
| Is it time to upgrade my amp? In another thread there is discussion of blind testing to see if fuses make a difference beyond placebo. Reading around you find the (in)famous challenge to identify any difference in blind listening between any amplifier of quality (about $400 se... | |
| Funny how streaming/digital still chases that analog benchmark. Of course a digital stream is a replica of the original master. The musicians record to digital or a master is, there is a mix, and the mix is streamed. And then some want to use a vinyl storage medium. So the mix needs to be cut, with a machine c... | |
| Funny how streaming/digital still chases that analog benchmark. Using digital, I can use DSP to pervert what the musician intended and produce a frequency response like you get from vinyl. I can set up a number of different DSP profiles for each track to replicate the way the sound worsens as the needle heads ... | |
| Do fuses in Aurender n10 alter SQ? When I have a headache the blue sugar pill my doctor gives me makes it hurt less. The red sugar pill he gives me makes it worse. Sugar pills have no effect at all on headaches. I know that very well. But the thing is, the blue pill really makes th... | |
| Sonics of Streaming Hickamore - I too am mystified by this. Reading around, you can find that some $1000+ streamers use a Raspberry Pi to do the actual processing. A R-Pi is about $30. So what seems to matter is the first stage of output. The R-Pi 4 has fixed a probl... | |
| The guru on fuses: Kakyol - thanks!So, the physics of the fuse is negligible.Negligible compared to running 240v vs 120v ? | |
| Groundbreaking albums. Any genre. Terry Riley’s A Rainbow in Curved Air. Talk Talk’s Spirit of Eden. Both of those changed expectations of what recorded sound should sound like. | |
| The guru on fuses: Could someone who knows electrical engineering (I am just about competent enough to change a fuse but that is my limit) help me understand the difference alternative fuses could make relative to the difference running 240v vs 120v through that sam... | |
| The guru on fuses: Applying some science from another discipline might be interesting. If orange or red fuses were described by users as adding brightness or detail, and if blue fuses were described as adding smoothness and “tubey” qualities, then this would add to ... | |
| My ears are ready to retire! These from Ferguson Hill are fabulous. FH007. I have two sets, one connected to the TV, the other in the office. The accuracy of the wide range horns is spooky. https://www.fergusonhill.co.ukBefore buying my first set I range the number on the we... | |
| Better Records White Hot Stampers: Now the Story Can Be Told! For sure Glupson, it’s not for me but it is a great business. I wish I had thought of it. There is a value added; an element of risk and uncertainty removed for the customer; nagging doubts about source quality are reduced. And there seems to be ... |
