| Tidal or Qobuz davetheoilguy I wouldn’t be surprised if the difference of opinion relates more to data sped and loss and corruption getting to where the listener is located... If everything is working right, that won’t make a difference, but there is always so... | |
| Why don't they record in ‘surround stereo’? roxy54 ... "surround stereo" is a mismomer ... Stereo by definition is 2 channel. Not so. "Stereo" is Greek meaning "solid." Multi-channel "stereo" goes way back to the early '60s and 3-channel stereo systems that used a mono center. | |
| Mastering legend Bernie Grundman explains why the measurement crowd has it all wrong! scottwheel If that is what he is saying then he is simply incorrect. Bernie Grundman’s knowledge, experience, and expertise speaks for itself. If you want to challenge that, you’ll need to do a whole lot better than "he is simply incorrect... | |
| WHY IS THERE SO MUCH HATE FOR THE HIGH END GEAR ON AUDIO GEAR? scottwheel Aren’t the conflicts between your beliefs and the large body of research in psychoacoustics a cause for examination of one’s personal beliefs? It doesn't seem to have worked that way for you, does it? | |
| WHY IS THERE SO MUCH HATE FOR THE HIGH END GEAR ON AUDIO GEAR? scottwheel It does strike me as problematic that science is seen as a “camp.” That's a logical fallacy, straw man argument. There is a bias here against measurementalists, who often parade as scientists or "objectivists." But of course the... | |
| Streamer question mahler123 You might look into the Bryston BDP 2 or 3. I owned the 3, which sounded fantastic. The big negative, and the reason that I got rid of it, was the lack of an app. You have to use Bryston Manic Moose, a web based application that I h... | |
| What was the first power cable that you noticed a difference in the sound? jhnnrrs No one here wants to listen to basic truths ... That's a whopper of an ad hominem logical fallacy. It's rather odd that measurementalists that want to be considered as objective so often resort to such lazy attacks. | |
| WHY IS THERE SO MUCH HATE FOR THE HIGH END GEAR ON AUDIO GEAR? unreceivedogma I fought a case to the U.S. Supreme Court and got Scalia to write an 8-1 opinion in my favor. I’m likely the only dialectical materialist to get Scalia to agree with him…twice! Can’t do that without first, dreaming, second, de... | |
| WHY IS THERE SO MUCH HATE FOR THE HIGH END GEAR ON AUDIO GEAR? unreceivedogma Systems are changed all the time, either at the ballot box, through grassroots organizing with thousands of others, through catastrophe ... No, they're not. Effecting real change in systems is rare. Yes, it happens, but incremen... | |
| WHY IS THERE SO MUCH HATE FOR THE HIGH END GEAR ON AUDIO GEAR? unreceivedogma Economic systems are not something handed down from God: they are social constructs. If you don’t like $1.2M audio systems, instead of not buying it, change the system that caters to millionaires. You are just being an apologist f... | |
| WHY IS THERE SO MUCH HATE FOR THE HIGH END GEAR ON AUDIO GEAR? viridian ...hate is for audiophiles, not the gear. Completely deserved ... Hate is a very strong word. Why have hate for a fellow human? Why so angry? I acknowledge there are a few unpleasant people here, but they're easy to ignore. Hate isn... | |
| Upgrading cd player tattooedtrackman I asked the dealer if u could take home the Mac to demo on my system and he said he can’t do it. Huh? What's he afraid of? I suggest cultivating a relationship with a different Mac dealer. | |
| Can a tube amp be damaged by a speaker switch? tamarack4 ... we do not recommend using a switch with a tube amp as running tubes without a load can damage the amp...even break it ... Absolutely true. | |
| Ultrasonic cleaning I use Klaudio's ultrasonic machine and distilled water and that suffices for the vast bulk of my LPs. For the occasional used LP that is in really bad shape, I have a Nitty-Gritty machine and use Record Doctor fluid. The beauty of the Klaudio mac... | |
| ARC REF6 and B@W DB2 What sort of sub are you trying to use? The Ref 6 uses a differentially balanced circuit, so you can't connect its output to anything that has a common ground. |
