| I can't be the only Cary Audio DMS-600 user experiencing this problem streaming Qobuz ... vinylzoneI would agree it's Qobuz. I got a month free trial, and on a Node 2i, I get the same thing.There are many things that can derail an audio stream and the vendor's servers are only one of them. FWIW, of the issues I've had streaming Qobuz... | |
| Reel To Reel Connection Question Yes, you can use your deck's output into a preamp or receiver CD input. You'll need a tape output on your receiver to make recording practical, but I'm not sure what the value of that would be.What is your interest in reel-to-reel? | |
| Why is science just a starting point and not an end point? Test tones are used to show how equipment performs below audible levels but how music performs at listening levels is the deciding criteria. In that regard science fails miserably.What makes you think your claim is true? | |
| I'm here for the sharing, not the snobery ilde45I’m in an argumentative field, and it’s very tricky to have discussions where someone wants to argue for something (prove their point) while also remaining civil ...What field are you in, politics?It's difficult to imagine any other fiel... | |
| Why Do So Many Audiophiles Reject Blind Testing Of Audio Components? edgewound... actual engineer's posts removed because they don't agree with the narrative.I'm pretty sure he was no engineer.That's pretty juvenile, and petty. It's actually pretty disgusting.What was juvenile and petty were the personal attacks i... | |
| Why Do So Many Audiophiles Reject Blind Testing Of Audio Components? millercarbon... if you utter the words "double blind" in anything other than mockery and derision then YOU are the ape trying to fix the helicopter with a hammer. YOU need to drop the BS step away from the keyboard go out and DO and HEAR and ... | |
| Why Do So Many Audiophiles Reject Blind Testing Of Audio Components? peguinpowerthe biggest irony with these testing nerds is that they are usually the ones with the least exposure to a wide and varied spectrum of equipment ...I don't know if that's true or not, but I've long suspected it. Its not even a quest... | |
| Why Do So Many Audiophiles Reject Blind Testing Of Audio Components? audition__audiodletch2 ... Just because you seem to find solace in double blind tests doesnt mean that our observations without are any less viable. Those of us who have been around the block more than once are comfortable with our decisions and ... | |
| Streaming SiriusXM is awful The signal from the satellites uses lossy compression and nothing can really save it. The streaming signal has better SQ and some XM apps offer a choice of higher quality streams - but even the best isn't really hi-fi. | |
| What do we hear when we change the direction of a wire? dletch2I am sorry that people here refuse to learn even a modicum of relevant physics or engineering so that they would understand that the claims they make are easily dismissed. They would do it themselves if they possessed some relevant knowledg... | |
| Why Do So Many Audiophiles Reject Blind Testing Of Audio Components? jerkfaceThe more discerning ears of the audiophile are far more useful in ABX tests.Maybe. But this has not been shown in any of the legitimate, scientific blind listening tests with which I'm familiar. However, it has been consistently shown th... | |
| Why Do So Many Audiophiles Reject Blind Testing Of Audio Components? dletch2No, there is not abundant literature that says blind testing is bad.I don’t think anyone has claimed that, and it’s interesting that you equate "frailty and limitations" with "bad." There is abundant literature that details the fallibility... | |
| Why Do So Many Audiophiles Reject Blind Testing Of Audio Components? jerkfaceI volunteered for an ABX speaker wire test at Klipsch HQ ... My accuracy, as the test continued, began to deteriorate, as my ears desensitized to the source material and it all began to blur together ...I’ve had similar experiences as an A... | |
| CD transport repair in NY (NJ, CT) area?? What kind of transport? Esoteric? McIntosh? Sony? | |
| Why Do So Many Audiophiles Reject Blind Testing Of Audio Components? The notion that blind testing for audio is an absolute test is absurd, and on so many levels. There is abundant literature (although not enough) on the frailty and limitations of blind testing in all matters of research. (That doesn’t mean that bl... |
