| Negotiate good price You’re confused by the dealer’s approach? Okay, I’m confused by your confrontational approach. Rather than throwing out the name of a site that sells used equipment, simply ask if there if there would be any discount if buying the entire system o... | |
| Audio tax write-off Writing off equipment as a business expense can involve more than the IRS. Where I live, the county taxes business assets. As such, the "good deal" of writing something off can cost a lot of money in the long run through additional local taxes u... | |
| Frustrated McIntosh Owner Sometimes the answer is, "We don't know." - and the manufacturer cannot commit to an answer because of supply chain logistics. I can relate. I sold Sony professional video equipment and, at one point, had a customer that had ordered nine, 8-inc... | |
| Is easy to know when a non english speaker is writting? Well, in my experience, English is not quite the - common- language shared by many other than American English speakers. English is the international language of air traffic control, so it is a "common" language for specific uses. As for corr... | |
| has anybody else noticed this about singers? I guess Smokey Robinson, James Brown, Gladys Knight, Marvin Gaye, David Ruffin, Martha Reeves, Diana Ross, etc. don’t have voices that "resonate." Interesting, how "voices that resonate" from your list are confined to one ethnic group - how stra... | |
| Sam here and l just made a new discovry. Have you tried dried foods like beans, herbs and spices? How about dehydrated fruit? Yogurt? It's still living as it has cultures in it. What about nuts? They'd fit right in... | |
| My pet peeve: "revealing" speakers Sounds like you have a semantics problem specifically associated with speakers YOU don't like. What is YOUR suggestion for the correct wording to use in order to describe undefined speakers you probably won't like? | |
| Sam here and this goes much deeper than i ever thought. Hypersonic frequencies are defined as those above 20 kHz. A CD, and a lot of digital audio media, are limited to 22.05 kHz as that is the Nyquist frequency that is 1/2 the sampling rate of 44.1 kHz. Interestingly, the 22.05 kHz CD limit is just... | |
| Are the loudness wars fake so record companies can destroy the music? By definition, the hypersonic effect is above 20 kHz. Most digital music is limited to 1/2 the Nyquist frequency digital sample rate of 44.1 kHz or an audio reproduction of 22.05 kHz. This frequency slightly exceeds the maximum high frequency avai... | |
| Sam here.l realize now why so many people think my ideas are crazy? Hair is an extension of the nervous system, it can be correctly seen as exteriorized nerves, a type of highly evolved ’feelers’ or ’antennae’ that transmit vast amounts of important information to the Brainstem, the Limbic system, and the Neocor... | |
| 100v,115v versus 230v Every house has 240 volts which you can use through a 240 volt breaker and wiring the outlet as 240 volts. However, most of the circuits in a house will be 120 volts because the breaker panel is split into two, 120 volt legs. I have four 240 volt ... | |
| An EXPERIMENT for those who have never heard differences in cables You haven't addressed a DAC affecting sound from a turntable. Mechanical isolation is a completely separate issue. Stable voltages have to do with the quality of the circuitry associated with the turntable preamp - and that's not a DAC - at leas... | |
| An EXPERIMENT for those who have never heard differences in cables The only way some are going to hear a difference with speaker cables, is to remove them from your system, and bring them to a home where differences can be heard on that system. All of the cable changes I’ve made were done at my house with my syst... | |
| An EXPERIMENT for those who have never heard differences in cables Everyone has their pet theory as to why cables, or in this case a DAC, makes a difference. Lots of theories with no concrete proof other than the empirical, "I can hear the difference." You’ll have to tell me how a DAC makes a difference when I’m ... | |
| An EXPERIMENT for those who have never heard differences in cables I'm convinced that many who say there is no difference between competent cables have never actually listened. They've simply come to that conclusion based on their faith.Of those who have listened and found no difference, I think many have come ... |
