| Some thoughts on ASR and the reviews @prefab - I don’t go to ASR much - maybe once in a blue moon. But if a speaker is peaky, I can get headaches from listening. At AXPONA this year, so many rooms were so bright, or too much midrange, I was starting to get a headache (similar to migr... | |
| Gustard R26 ladder DAC sound signature - comments? Agree. It is not made for your system and move on. | |
| Gustard R26 ladder DAC sound signature - comments? I am only using USB, but there a few updates to fix that, I think. The latest is v1.42. | |
| Benchmark Media Systems. Right or wrong Not wrong. Just read all the threads on A'gon. All one needs to know. | |
| Some thoughts on ASR and the reviews @coralkong - Sorry - I believe both are important. I also believe in science. Science tells us that the brain fills in much of what we don't hear, when expectation bias is involved, and expectation bias is involved 24/7. I just said how I do thin... | |
| Some thoughts on ASR and the reviews Your ’involving’ quote is subjective not objective. That is why I say it takes both listening and measurements. What you say still does not take away from what I said. I have heard the Reynaud's and thought eww - what not my cup of tea. Just me a... | |
| Gustard R26 ladder DAC sound signature - comments? I have had my R26 for a year and it is the EXACT opposite of what you describe. I also compared to the Denafrips - which went back because the mids sounded congested. You are also unfairly comparing it to your super modified DAC - compare it t... | |
| Should Speaker Manufactures provide a Frequency Response Graph? @seanheis1 Actually, Erin wrote to Eric to ask questions BEFORE he reviewed the speakers. So, Eric KNEW it was happening. Erin was above board on this. | |
| Should we care if a piece of equipment comes from a pet-free, kid-free, smoke-free home? Yes, I bought a amp from a smoking - cat home and I had to vacuum all the cat hair out of the amp (cat slept on the amp). It still had issues and had to be cleaned by a tech friend of mine. The smoke literally cakes up on connections, etc. | |
| Revel Performa3 Cabinet Defect It does happen from time to time - sorry to hear. My M126Be's are great looking and sounding speakers. | |
| Some thoughts on ASR and the reviews @goose Ears can lie. I mean the number one hallucination is hearing. Measurements can help with expectation bias. At Axpona, this year, so many speakers were so bright - I realize it is also the environment, but it was telling how many speaker... | |
| Mark Levinson Has Saved Me And My MUSIC!! How is MQA doing it for you? This video is exactly the same BS. If you like, wonderful, but don’t push the nonsense that is this video. I mean this guy wrote a book about women’s ...., with his ex-wife. | |
| Mark Levinson Has Saved Me And My MUSIC!! @mahgister I know that. He was sued because one could get the exact same equipment for 1/10 the price he was selling the same equipment minus the brand name he used. Remember, John Curl designed most of his equipment when he sold it. He was not a... | |
| Mark Levinson Has Saved Me And My MUSIC!! The video makes no sense. I have watched several times. This is the gent who bought Chinese made equipment, slapped a different name on them and tried to charge an arm and a leg for them. Enjoy | |
| I see the issue with ABX blind testing @mahgister Sorry - it is not 'Pop-psychology' it is based on what has been learned from studying animals and humans. If you think that, sorry. |
