| sibilance in system @yogiboy Thanks for that link. It’s a nice summary of what has been audiophile doctrine since, I dunno, the days of Peter Aczel. Yes, the author didn’t mention zenith angle, but nonetheless, I’m impressed that he or she realized that it’s rake, ... | |
| What is the Current Guidance on Stereo and AV Configurations OP, for those new here, @soix has a history of trolling those who bruise his ego and, when backed into a corner, tends to retreat with "my time is too valuable to waste explaining things to my inferiors." Case in point. Sorry to pollute your threa... | |
| What is the Current Guidance on Stereo and AV Configurations So you’re basically confirming what I said and arguing with things I didn’t say. Typical for @soix in trolling mode. Someone more interested in arguing than in actually reading other people's postings. To quote a great man who doesn’t know his o... | |
| What is the Current Guidance on Stereo and AV Configurations @soix Respectfully disagree. Maybe you got lucky, maybe you’re just BS’ing. But either way, I hope the OP doesn’t fall into a booby trap. And yumpin yeezus, nobody’s talking about "understanding HTB." My first point described how a dual-purpose s... | |
| Why do Wav and Flac Files Sound Different? @erik_squires Maybe I’m reading something into your last message, but can you explain what HDCP has to do with FLAC v. WAV? I’m not trying to hassle you, this is an honest question posed to an obviously knowledgable colleague. FWIW, this is a ... | |
| What is the Current Guidance on Stereo and AV Configurations @soix : "You can do this with or without a HT bypass, but it’s a little easier with it. And to answer your question, yes the AVR handles the multichannel processing and powering the center channel speaker. All you need is an AVR that has front L/R... | |
| ultrasound record cleaning machine damaged my records IMHO, the OP really should have considered revealing the make & model of the cleaner, liquids used, etc. I understand & respect the rationale of not initially wanting to criticize a specific manufacturer without knowing if the mfr is at f... | |
| How much should I expect with a warranty issue from a large retailer/distributor? FWIW, I bought a HiFi Rose 250 DAC/Streamer from Crutchfield last year and found that it did not respond to its remote. Crutchfield sent out a new remote, no charge, and we confirmed that it was the streamer, not the remote. I returned the unit &a... | |
| New In 2024 Steven Wilson has been revisiting his earlier 5.1 mixes of classic Tull, Yes, etc., albums, adding new 5.1 and Atmos mixes to these reissued discs. Several are out already, with more on their way. I compared the previous "definitive" 5.1 mix of "... | |
| EVS Music Purifiers - Amazed by how much improvement they make! Anyone else try them? @ricevs Interesting that you mention the FX of signal above 200KHz. Some years ago, a long technical discussion (I have a physics/engineering background) with the designer of Audioquest's sophisticated Niagara power conditioners convinced me th... | |
| 12 wire compared to Nordost Blue Heaven Speaker Cable? @ristrettox6 Yes, the original quintet -- Jerry, Jan, Billy. The members of our little fusion band in HS/college used to follow the MO around the Northeast, catching shows any time we could. As great as the band’s studio recordings were, they d... | |
| 12 wire compared to Nordost Blue Heaven Speaker Cable? @ristrettox6 >I have attended 100’s of live performances which would melt down most of the elitists here. Who? Ive seen John McLaughlin 7 times - both electric and acoustic, Oregon with Ralph Towner at Amazing Grace and the ASU hatbox. How... | |
| Devialet Expert Pro 220 -- sonics & connectivity @cdorval1 Actually, I wound up going with T+A's new R 2500 R, a more expensive unit, but one that had all the functionality I needed, as well as superb sonics. I loved the idea & the aesthetics of the 220, but in the end, the T+A was just a b... | |
| Meter for measuring cable capacitance My question is: Why be concerned about only capacitance? Why not overall impedance, especially since capacitance’s effect on the sound of your instrument is likely to be only one factor in an RLC circuit formed by your cabling, electronics & i... | |
| Audioquest or Nordost for speaker cable @audphile1 and @dougthebiker +1 with an exclamation point. As with so many questions posted on this forum, the OP's hope for a recommendation that is remotely helpful for your system is just a crap shoot if we don't know the finer details. And t... |
