| why do we argue? 07-05-12: AlmargEarly on in this thread (in my post of 6-11-12) I referred to how easy it is for extraneous variables to produce misleading results when it comes to assessing audio products and tweaks, especially when lengthy breakin periods are r... | |
| Is my Pass amp overheating? I talked with Kent at Pass Labs about the amp's autobias. He was the one who confirmed that removing the lid increases the amp's bias because it lowers the internal temperature in the chassis. That triggers the amp to turn up the bias until it rea... | |
| What is a high end stereo SUPPOSED to sound like? 07-05-12: CdcIMHO, the Holy Grail would be 100% CORRECT room interaction. So would an anechoic chamber which has NO room effects be the best room interaction?IMO, the answer is no. The total lack of ambient cues in an anechoic chamber results in p... | |
| Is my Pass amp overheating? Hi Csontos - I just read your thread on DC offset and bias. Very interesting.You just hit the nail on the head Bryon.Are you saying that there's a way to manually adjust the bias on my XA30.5? According to Pass, the autobias on the amp is regulate... | |
| What is a high end stereo SUPPOSED to sound like? 07-05-12: Mapman"Nothing" would infer no effects from room acoustics. Is that what a high end stereo system is supposed to sound like? I am not sure about that. How would spatial queues captured in the recording be delivered to the ears accurately... | |
| Parasound A23 I own a Parasound A23. I use it for my center channel both for home theater and for listening to music in Trifield, which is a function of my Meridian G68. The amp for the R/L is a Pass XA30.5. While the A23 isn't quite as sweet as the XA30.5, it ... | |
| What is a high end stereo SUPPOSED to sound like? I agree with you Cdc. It should sound like nothing. At the risk of using an inflammatory word, the system should be neutral.IME, the most common obstacle to reaching that elusive goal is the listening room. No matter how good the equipment, if the... | |
| why do we argue? 07-04-12: AlmargObjectivists are frequently mischaracterized as believing that if something isn't measurable, it isn't audible... the phrase "discoverable by science"...does not mean "has been discovered by science."This is a point worth expanding... | |
| Is my Pass amp overheating? Just realized that I never reported back the listening results after installing the aluminum and copper mesh lid that I installed on my Pass amp.As I mentioned in my last post, the mesh lid DECREASED the amount of heat inside the chassis relative ... | |
| why do we argue? 07-04-12: LaceeWhat I find ironic is that the Objectivists, or the folks who demand scientific proof, never indulge in the true spirit of science.Which would have to be the experiment...Yet the Objectivists refuse to experiment or in our case, try... | |
| why do we argue? As Al has already pointed out, Goodwins article is a transparent case of strawmanning, i.e. misrepresenting your opponent and then attacking that misrepresentation. Goodwins Objectivist is a gross distortion of the views of actual Objectivists... | |
| why do we argue? Lacee and Mapman - Good thoughts, and I thank you for sharing them. The link in my last post was intended to make a simple point, a point I've made on this thread and others: One of the most common causes of arguments is bullying.bc | |

| What Power Cord can improve clarity and bass slam? 07-02-12: Scott_weinbergSorry about the pussies portion: lame on my part.Scott - I, for one, accept your apology. It takes guts to apologize. You got um.Everything else holds steady.Wait a sec. Is this one of those apologies immediately followed b... | |
