| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @donavabdear I’ve been listening to studio monitors and hi-fi speakers for probably 40 years. 1. Your Genis are not very good in the grand scheme. The Geni Sheen is not accuracy it’s massive distortion from DA and DSP and cheap amps. Yet ... If y... | |
| Question about Class A You’re going down the right road looking for class A, don’t listen to anyone who says that a properly made class D amp has the qualities you seem to seek. A, A/B, D etc. each have a flavor. Although some A/B are biased for a handful of watts at t... | |
| Dolby Atmos - is it for Audiophiles? As a stereo mastering specialist, using MM3+Exact, Allnic Audio A-6000 monos and Bricasti M1 SE DA, I am turned off by the corporate push for complexity that will lead to a $600 soundbar or headphones for most.99.999% of the world has never heard ... | |
| Why don't more recordings have soundstage outside of speakers @andy2 it’s about mix and (mostly) mastering. Then of course, the room set up. Width is not about width ONLY ... width needs a defined MID with distinct L and R SIDES. It’s hard physics. | |
| MQA is for chumps Good to see people coming around to what I heard years ago, as did many people I respect. YET there are too many false ideas still being put forward. The main issues I have as a mastering engineer and an artist advocate, and a person who has done ... | |
| I just bought a Steinway which sounds like a banjo. First off, it’s a snarky post, get over yourself. Secondly as was said, your adjectives are NOUNS. Thirdly, pianos sound VERY different even in the same size, just like speakers do ... from Steinway B (boring and predictably overused) to Mason and... | |
| Recommendations for modern integrated with tone & balance controls other than Mcintosh Parasound Halo | |
| Gave up my SET----looking for moderate to higher power replacement options If you love the sound that you had you’re not gonna find it by going backwards on SET or A or AB or certainly Class D and you’re not gonna find it for two or $3000, that’s absurdThings that sounds THAT great are heavy and hot and take power and th... | |
| Neil Young calls out Tidal Some of you guys should be ashamed with the rudness and the ignorance.Firstly, he’s Neil Young. American Citizen, cultural icon, a success with a net worth between 50 and 80 million. More than you made I bet.One of the greatest artists of his era ... | |
| looking for a Integrated amp $6,000 range Perfect amp for the Legacy Audio Focus would be the Allnic Audio T-1500 mkII | |
| Tidal MQA vs Qobuz hi-res MQA is a big con, and they lie about it to sell it. They are desparate. It is a lossy codec that creates harmonic distortion. It can sound "better" if you like the panita, or it can sound destructive (which it is) ... but it’s NEVER closer to the ... | |
| Who says cables don't make a difference? Cables, Capacitors, Diodes, Solder ... it all has a sound. Can we hear it in our room? Can we justify the expense? Maybe, maybe not. It's no matter ... the main listening tool is ME. Upgrade yourself first and always.There are a lot of people w... | |
| Should people who can't solder, build or test their speakers be considered audiophiles? Bizarre, and long, postAudiophiles are people who love music, and go beyond the norm to enjoy listening to music.Simple | |
| Ever feel like a "low dollar" customer that your dealer doesn't think worth their time? Instead of projecting or guessing how they feel ... best move is to make an appointment with a manager, or ask for the mgr in store on a slow day.Let them know your ethical compass and your feelings and see how they respond. | |
