| Revel F328Be's Have Arrived! / Contradicting Specs? @james133,"At one point my ears felt a hair tired and I pulled up a DB meter on a phone app and I was at 95db average for a minute with peaks over 100! I could not believe it. I am an 80db listener and they did not seem too loud or strained."That’... | |
| Worst Audio Injury !! @mikem,Rubber soles and certain acrylic fabric clothing often get me mildly zapped, but never like that. | |
| Kind of Blue SACD on a whim. I'm not sure if any of the digital versions of KoB matches the superb Classic Records cut.Or even get close.Sorry. | |
| Revel F328Be's Have Arrived! / Contradicting Specs? @james633 "I have not found a speaker that does better than the subs 60hz and down."I bet no one else has either.Most speakers, if they actually go that low (flat to 40Hz or lower) will, to some extent or another, tend to blur that critical area i... | |
| Sound quality of Newer versus Older speakers @alexberger,Great posts. An historical perspective is usually a very good thing to have. No wonder so many would be 'influencers' might seek to belittle it or even eradicate it completely.The reduction in size and the almost universal deliberate t... | |
| Sound quality of Newer versus Older speakers @artemus_5 ,Loudspeaker design seems no more immune to the vagaries of fashion than anything else.Huge boxes, big boxes, smaller boxes, thin tall boxes, sealed boxes, ported boxes, horned boxes, backless boxes, paper cones, plastic cones, metal co... | |
| Snake oil?? @mhnyc,"While I'm a bit of an audiophile, I work in film."It's good to hear that some people in the industry still care about sound. "but the question of fidelity is about the preservation of the intentions of the filmmakers who made it."That's al... | |
| My best retort to those that think we listen to our stereos more than the music @mojostyn,"Love and sex are wonderful things and should be celebrated whatever your preferences are. Political correctness is a trap just like prohibition. We are what nature made us and we still have not learned to live with it."And one of life's... | |
| Snake oil?? @glupson. No worries, shipping is included in the price. The usual Covid precautions will also apply.For the first 50 customers I might even throw in a free teleportation tweak!@ausaudio,"They are cartoonish."Yes, even the latest OLED screens I’ve... | |
| Tannoy cheviot vs Arden what should I expect from each? I’ve got the Berkeley’s, which are said to be the same as the Arden’s but in smaller boxes.I’ve read a few articles and user reviews that the Arden cabinet is better suited to the HPD385 15 inch dual concentric drivers which both of these classic ... | |
| Reel to Reel Woes Something industrially built (pro-use) and something with a warranty.The peace of mind will be more than worth it. | |
| Snake oil?? "What you have done, what you are hearing, times one hundred. Yeah. And people wonder why I rave about my system."They do indeed.They might also marvel at your commitment, endeavour and striving for the title of the "audiophile’s audiophile".As fo... | |
| Snake oil?? "Would it be "Snake Oil" at $5.99 a bottle?If not, when on the price continuum between $5.99 and $599.00 does it transform into "Snake Oil"? "It’s not primarily a price issue.It’s a question of something purporting to do something out of the ordin... | |
| To all those who celebrate! Yes, Happy Easter to everybody.Time to take a few days out, perhaps talk to each other and listen to some wonderful music.For once, there's even some beautiful Bank Holiday sunshine weather here in the UK. | |
| What's your favorite lyric from a song? In the Avenues and AlleywaysWhile you sleep there's a whole world coming aliveAbel and his brother, fighting one anotherIn and out of every diveThe avenues and alleywaysWhere the strong and the quick alone can survive----The avenues and alleywaysW... |
