| I have an idea for an audio product what should I do? Agree with @carlsbad. You need to build it, demonstrate it and then patent it if the feedback is good. I'm guessing that it's some kind of bespoke networked active system. Sometimes it is possible to find a niche in the market that the majors c... | |
| Where does "MidFi" differ from "HiFi" or "LOFI"? @kota1 Good link. When someone like Andrew Robinson, who has owned all kinds of high priced gear tells you that in performance level there is little to nothing extra sonically to be gained by going the extra mile (or extra $100,000+) then perha... | |

| What covid research can teach us about audio measurements. @thespeakerdude Few if any of the scientific community doubt the existence of long Covid, and physiological and psychological testing confirms it exists. The symptoms of ’long flu’ were well established before it became rebranded into a mone... | |

| New MOFI speaker (Andrew Jones) @grislybutter When I see that people have a list of components that cost more than I spent on cars, combined in my entire adult life and the same people rave about junk music (to my taste) I feel confused. Yes this has been puzzling me for ... | |
| Hi-end audio is a big zero 'High End' is a term that can only be useful to gauge price. It has very little relationship to high performance. We've seen time and time again that performance and price have a very tenuous relationship at best. Go to a show and hear it for y... | |

| Are solo efforts ever better? That's a good spot! It seems as if going solo does not lead to better things. Perhaps it's usually just more of a case of 'artistic differences' or just plain greed? Or perhaps it's a case of most artists doing their best work during their 20s.... | |
| Audio Science Review = Rebuttal and Further Thoughts @prof "Notice virtually no manufacturer actually corrects Amir, as in "no, you are measuring the wrong things...HERE is how we measured the phenomenon we claim to have addressed in our product." It never moves beyond marketing. (The one att... | |
| New MOFI speaker (Andrew Jones) @lanx0003 Looking at that chart it looks as if the MS10 is deliberately aimed squarely at the Eaton. It cannot possibly be coincidental because Andrew Jones has been around far too long to not be aware of the Tannoys. He even mentions them in i... | |
| Hi-Fi and the Folly of Perfection @jengelmann I have also crossed into the stage of less critical listening and more enjoyable listening. That elusive peace of mind probably what we’re all looking for. I have read here of people who say that their system is ’good enough’ a... | |
| Hi-Fi and the Folly of Perfection I know that, without question, the sound I hear coming from my speakers today is "better" in all sorts of ways than what I heard back in the 80's. But I do, in my more self-analytic moments, wonder if "better" is, well, better. How much is one's e... | |
| Are advances in technology making speakers better? @phusis Coloration, it could be argued, is many things also by "virtue" of absence: lack of image size and dynamics, scale, ease, physicality, presence, etc. - traits where most modern speakers fall short. You don’t hear it as coloration per se,... | |
| New TT vs Cartridge/isolation upgrade Whoever introduced the fixed headshell might have saved themselves some money but they didn't do anyone else any favours. Another classic case of manufacturers selling folks short whilst telling them it was for their own good. If you must upgrad... |
