| The Audio Critic @busboy Nobody but nobody, however, will ever take the challenge and do the ABX testing to disprove his claims. Alan Shaw of Harbeth once offered a pair of free top of the range Harbeth loudspeakers to anyone who could demonstrate that they... | |
| Are advances in technology making speakers better? @phusis Yes, that was a great explanation between some of the differences between then and now. If anything modern speakers by comparison sound overly processed/filtered, dull, malnourished and quenched of life I had the fortune (or is ... | |
| What should be mandatory in every professional published review- @soix I encourage you to try writing a review for a publication and go through that whole process again and again before taking any issue. The reviewers at What-Hi? have got review writing down to a formula. Nice large colorful photos and ... | |
| Are advances in technology making speakers better? @grislybutter I don't have 20 or 10 minutes watching a stranger for pure entertainment value. I beginning to realise that I don't either. My watch later list on YouTube is now over 100 videos now! Couldn't I just have one month to myself? ... | |
| Are advances in technology making speakers better? @grislybutter To me it’s a mystery why he is multiple times more watched than e.g. NRD ... which is cool and has entertainment value Most of not all of the popular YouTube channels put entertainment value first. That’s the key point - ente... | |
| Are advances in technology making speakers better? @larryi Most of the advances in the last 60 years have been to make speakers more compact rather than to improve sound. Like everything else these days design has to be market led. I recall a well known designer explaining how a new design b... | |
| Are advances in technology making speakers better? Difficult question. They probably are better generally all things being equal, but the difference might not be as much as you're being told. My Tannoy Berkeley's were built in 1978 and I'd say they still outperform 90% of speakers built today. B... | |
| What should be mandatory in every professional published review- @zavato ..it should be mandatory that the review includes a direct comparison with the immediate predecessor. IMHO, it’s not enough to know ion the product is good; it’s also important to know if there is a meaningful difference with the immediat... | |
| What selections do you play when showing off your system to others? @immatthewj I never watch a movie because it has good special effects (like I did in the old days) but because it is a good movie with a good plot a good script and good acting. But I can only imagine, however, how much more I would like some o... | |
| Do You Tell Others How Much You Have Invested in Your System? @northman I don't even tell myself how much I spent on my system. If I was to add up all of the expenditure I've put into this hobby...nah, let's not even go there! | |
| What selections do you play when showing off your system to others? @immatthewj He is the one that got me started down this destructive trail, but where his main thing is HT, I diverged and became obsessed (with obsessed being a relative term) with two channel audio. I’ve always been more of a 2 channel ster... | |
| What selections do you play when showing off your system to others? immatthewj 333 posts 11-06-2022 at 08:43pm I’ve found the best way to show my system off to others is to let them control the queue. While the listener may appreciate analyzing the music you play, they will likely not resonate ... | |
| Get out and listen! @mdishler If you had Jeff Bezos' or Elon Musk's money I seriously doubt that you could put together a system that would recreate that experience. Apparently Musk has a different set of goals. Pity. Its even more of a pity that he didn't fi... | |
| Roger Waters Live Last Night in Glendale,AZ @idigmusic64 I haven’t, but I mean to listen to Animals in the near future. For some reason I’ve laboured under the impression it was recorded in between Piper at the Gates of Dawn and Dark Side of the Moon. That initial post Barrett period is ... | |
