A Question About Time Alignment
Even with my Dual Concentric Tannoy Berkeley’s where the pepperpot tweeter is located back into the mouth of the horn loaded 15 inch drivers the bass does sometimes seem to be slightly lagging behind the rest of the sound. However, this may be du... 
Audio Science Review = Rebuttal and Further Thoughts
@holmz That seems like a good compromise, check that all the basic measurements are ok and only then fine tune by ear. For the buyer it’s a case of case of checking the measurements first, then drawing up a shortlist which you can audition and ... 
Audio Science Review = Rebuttal and Further Thoughts
@holmz I don’t care how you hear, or what you hear… I just want whatever I play to sound like the recorded sound.   Doesn’t everyone? Some may feel that they can do this by ear alone. The so called ’golden ear’ brigade who have assurance that... 
How much is about the recording
@singintheblues I was very briefly sucked in by hifi dealers who would switch my music for some whiney woman & it sounded great, but not music I ever want to listen to.   This is a common used but altogether highly misleading practice that... 
Audio Science Review = Rebuttal and Further Thoughts
@td_dayton  i'm very impressed with your credentials. but i'm on my own path. you don't need to worry about what i'm doing. we don't even like the same music, why should i care what you think? etc etc   No one is suggesting for one minute that ... 
A Question About Time Alignment
@soundscapemd The acoustic centers of a cone midrange and a dome tweeter when both are mounted in the same plane (e.g., on a flat front of a speaker) will not be in the same plane. The tweeter would typically be ahead of the cone speaker.   Mo... 
A Question About Time Alignment
Monopulse Loudspeakers here in the UK have made this time alignment issue their main selling point for decades. The designer Allan Hendry has been stating that impulse precision is hard wired into our evolution for survival itself and thus it’s i... 
How much is about the recording
Better recordings/masterings have been more important to me than anything other than loudspeakers for about 15 years now. The Steve Hoffman Music Forum was invaluable in this regard, even if the Beatles threads literally took weeks to read.   ... 
Audio Science Review = Rebuttal and Further Thoughts
Blind tests are a hassle, and there’s nothing remotely sexy about them. The ones I’ve done involved switching between different masterings and bitrates as well as CD v Minidisc v MP3 player have demonstrated just how similar they all were. My So... 
Audio Science Review = Rebuttal and Further Thoughts
@prof  thyname I'm not "teaming up" with anyone. I am scratching my head… why don’t you participate in forums with like minded people with the same beliefs and ideology like ASR? I do.  I've been a member quite a while at ASR. However, I fi... 
Roger Waters Live Last Night in Glendale,AZ
@teo_audio  "Yet, americans are going about their lives as if nothing is going on, as the media and the politics are not letting them know how desperate things are."   Quite true. Thanks for that well thought out post. However, there might com... 
What is Your Opinion of Atmos Music?
@kota1 Great link, thanks. I’m already looking forward to a trip to the cinema once something catches my interest. Object based systems such as Dolby Atmos do seem to be a genuine advance over 2 channel recordings when it comes to a convincing... 
What is Your Opinion of Atmos Music?
@kota1  I've not heard Dolby Atmos myself but a friend of mine who has thinks it will be the next big thing. The idea of a more immersive sonic experience certainly sounds interesting to me. Spatial audio seems to be the way forward and omnidire... 
Roger Waters Live Last Night in Glendale,AZ
Waters is an artist and not merely a paid entertainer. It is facile to compare going to a Waters concert with a visit to a restaurant. If you don't like his art then you might be better off going to see an entertainer instead. There's no shortag... 
Roger Waters Live Last Night in Glendale,AZ
@waytoomuchstuff  "The Exodus of Authenticity." Nice expression. It does seem as if everyone's got an angle these days, but someone delivering a pizza is not the same as someone  recording a rock album or playing a concert. Nor was it the same ...
