| Some of the Worst Offenders in Bad Audio Forum Behavior Are Not Regular Forum Members @teo_audioMiracle of miracles - there are plenty of things we actually agree on, who knew? As to the demise or substantial "shrinkage" of the high end market segment, I don't think you can lay it all at the feet of portable phones and the MP3 gene... | |

| Some of the Worst Offenders in Bad Audio Forum Behavior Are Not Regular Forum Members @Teo_Audio Instead of focusing on me and the style or form of my attempt at communication, why not try following the "golden rule" of forums and enumerate the specific errors, omissions, or mischaracterizations contained in the thread that bother ... | |
| Some of the Worst Offenders in Bad Audio Forum Behavior Are Not Regular Forum Members @ teo_audioNo one is manipulating or controlling anything here. And John Atkinson, by censoring Archimago, "called no one out" other than himself. I would expect people in the cable industry who have relied very heavily on the whitewash pass they'... | |
| A Question on Speaker Driver Efficiency @toddalin Hi ToddI've been reading JBL specifications since the late 1970s. I didn't just fall off the turnip truck. The discussion was about sensitivity changes resulting in parallel versus series arrangement. You got it completely wrong by fall... | |
| Some of the Worst Offenders in Bad Audio Forum Behavior Are Not Regular Forum Members " It would seem to me that any one in the industry or with commercial ties to it should also use their real names (unless there is some 'whistleblowing' aspect to their activities) " whart@whart Yes, whistleblowing and the fear of reprisal is ... | |
| Cable Snake Oil Antidote " Actually good microphones and their associated cables are very expensive. An auspicious first post for you, sir. " - geoffkaitOops...did I pop in on the wrong thread? I thought this thread was about expensive cables - not expensive microphones.... | |
| Cable Snake Oil Antidote @ngen33r Thanks for the much needed chuckle!You may be missing something though. "Audiofools" may want the $3500 cables so they can hear the "errors" that were produced by the original $25 cables. It's a way of achieving greater (dare I say "mast... | |
| Some of the Worst Offenders in Bad Audio Forum Behavior Are Not Regular Forum Members @stereo5 Unquestionably, the editor at Stereophile can "do what he likes" with the forum he closely moderates. Not a lot of insight in that statement. Whether or not he goes on other forums and receives criticism/praise from others is equally irre... | |
| Some of the Worst Offenders in Bad Audio Forum Behavior Are Not Regular Forum Members @cedargrover Very interesting bit of info there. Thanks. For what it's worth, I don't doubt for a minute that sites requiring full disclosure have a tendency to force participants to be on their best behavior. Human nature being what it is, no rea... | |
| Some of the Worst Offenders in Bad Audio Forum Behavior Are Not Regular Forum Members @cedargrover Yes Cedar, but then, how often do you run into someone on a wine forum that blurts out something along the lines of "that merlot truly sucks!". Deep down, I think they know that being that frank would leave them high and dry on tha... | |
| Some of the Worst Offenders in Bad Audio Forum Behavior Are Not Regular Forum Members @unsound I think we've all witnessed that first hand on one forum or another. When the salesmanship or torpedoing gets too obvious, in most well moderated forums, the moderator steps in to either curtail the behavior or demand disclosure. I think ... | |
| A Question on Speaker Driver Efficiency " If the amp puts out x watts at 8 ohms, and you split it between two speakers totalling 8 ohms, each speaker sees the half the power and puts out the same dB level. When you add them together, the net result is the same.That said, I would thi... | |
| A Question on Speaker Driver Efficiency Placing woofers in series will double the resistance and inductance. This will cause a more steep frequency response roll off on the upper end and will show how sensitive the drivers are at half their standard drive level sensitivity rating. In t... |
