| What if a high end speaker measures really badly? @botrytis That is a valid point. It is interesting how one’s point of view affects the interpretation of was was written. I was thinking more about the affect on "salability". That is where I was coming from. Which is more influential, bad mea... | |
| What if a high end speaker measures really badly? As long as it gets good reviews on how it sounds, I do not see that bad measurements matter much. | |
| Thin Line Between Critique and Courtrooms: A Dialogue on the Recent Audiophile Drama Is audio one of those products that needs to be "sold"? Meaning is it the hype from reviews and salesmanship that gets people to buy? If you don't scream loud enough will anyone pay attention? Likewise, if there starts to be a lot of negative pres... | |
| Ideal Qualities of a CD/SACD Transport Not defective out of the box for starters. | |
| What if a high end speaker measures really badly? Zu is a popular speaker that doesn’t measure that great. And they do not threaten to sue people about it either. | |
| Finally after 7 years of search... Full Range: Voxativ. Imaging pretty good also. Oh no. . . . only "pretty good"? haha | |
| Benchmark Media Systems. Right or wrong IMHO, while cables make a small difference, I like the fact that as you move up the line (Audioquest) the sounds gets better in all ways and not just good in some ways / bad in others. Upgrades in speakers and electronics often have trade offs an... | |
| Are there other people like me ? Amazed by their low cost system :) Nope. Some songs hit the mark, even beat out any system at any price, but most are a disappointment as far as full-range audiophile sound quality goes. | |
| Could Class D really be that good? Let's get real. While the Fosi stuff is good, especially for the money, amps such as Technics SU-G700M2 at 10x the cost are 2-3x better. | |
| $100-200 linear power supply @jl35 What made you decide on the TDA7498 and not something like the V3? | |
| $100-200 linear power supply @ericgale I am of the school of thought that one would be better off buying a better amplifier than sticking 2 or 3 times the cost in a power supply. Sure, what amp would that be? It would help if you have heard this amp so you can know what ... | |
| $100-200 linear power supply From the same review: What is less good are the spikes overlaying the waveform at the signal’s zero-crossing points, which imply inadequate standing bias current in the Gaincard’s output stage. When RD writes about "a hardness or glare in the... | |
| $100-200 linear power supply This is why: the 4706 Gaincard offered excellent measured performance. In fact, almost all the measured problems I encountered can be laid at the feet of the Humpty power supply. | |
| Wall wart removal...why no products that can handle multiple devices? Pro-Ject Power Box MaiA DS2 Output voltage / current (socket diameter): 2 x 9V / 2A max (1,3mm) 3 x 18V / 1A max (2.5mm) 1 x 15V / DC-turntable (2.1mm) | |
| What About LiFePO4 Batteries and Pure Sine Wave Inverters? I’m up and running on battery. Does your system sound as good in the day as night? There has been a lot of conjecture why stereos sound better at night than day. Battery could eliminate one variable. |
