| Why no “Break in” period? rodman99999SO; the bottom line of all this discussion(according to some) would be, "It’s a waste of time, trying to upgrade your system/listening pleasure, by actually auditioning(LISTENING), since YOU’RE too inept to tell if there’s an impr... | |
| Has to be said rodman99999... In terms of simple logic the situation goes like this- the person who hears a difference is under no obligation to prove or substantiate it with physical theory. That’s one. And two would be, if they do go on to earn bonus points by... | |
| Hidden Gems in Pre-Owned Solid State Power Amplifiers? avanti1960 What are the true audiophile gems in the pre-owned solid state market? Audio Research D-200, D-300. | |
| Perfect Path Technologies confusion mapmanWhy do people buy products with no instructions about how to use them ...Perhaps a better question is: Why do companies sell products with no instructions about how to use them? | |
| Volume Wars-- Are things improving, getting worse, or status quo? georgehifiI believe compression started off as product of the loudness wars ...Excessive compression goes back to at least the heyday of Top 40 AM radio in the '60s, when pop records were compressed so they'd sound punchy on AM car radios that us... | |
| Why no “Break in” period? mijostyn Many companies now put something in their manuals like, "don't worry if it sound like crap. It takes three months for it to break in." When people don't know why they make stuff up. The Greeks made up Zeus. It looks like you're makin... | |
| How Science Got Sound Wrong geoffkait ... it’s very hard to find a CD system that is better than the average vinyl system ...I don’t know whether that’s true or not. It certainly wasn’t true when CD first debuted. It was the proliferation of cheap turntables and tonearms tha... | |
| How Science Got Sound Wrong mapmanLots has been done to squeeze the most possible out of that inherently old technology since resulting in very expensive players ...Quite so!Way more people have access to very accurate sound these days, more accurate than most anyone would e... | |
| How Science Got Sound Wrong atdavid... So basically Cleeds you have no point at all? Hey, atdavid , read up just a few posts and you'll find this: ... your assertion that LP isn’t "accurate" doesn’t withstand scrutiny ...That was my point. You can't really defend the cl... | |
| How Science Got Sound Wrong atdavid673 posts12-07-2019 10:17amOh Cleeds you totally crack me up. You 100% believe that every specification w.r.t. turntables and vinyl 100% correlates to our understanding of human hearing but you will jump through logical hoops and disto... | |
| How Science Got Sound Wrong atdavidThis notion that we cannot measure electrical signals with enough detail to match human human is false. I haven’t made that claim here, so this is just a red herring..... if you like the way that a turntable and the whole vinyl process mod... | |
| How Science Got Sound Wrong atdavid I never made an anti-LP argument ...I understand that you really believe that. It’s your measurementalist bias on display to the extent that even when it’s explained to you, you can’t see it. That’s ok; that’s how profound bias sometimes... | |
| SME is leaving the OEM and aftermarket/retail tonearm business. oscar44Tend to disagree with some on the SMEs. I've owned the IV and the V and found them to be excellent. They exude a quality and precision that makes them a joy to set up and use, and I had great experiences with many cartridges on them o... | |
| How Science Got Sound Wrong atdavidYou can spend all the money and the world and ... the channel separation will still suck as it is inherent in the implementation, you will never have de-equalization perfect since you don’t know the exact equalization curve, you can’t fix w... | |
| How Science Got Sound Wrong atdavid. Apparently there are people in this world who find vinyls lack of dynamic range, destruction of channel separation, equalization/de-equalization oddities, low SNR, and a host of other artifacts enjoyable. That may be true, but it wou... |
