Your experience of moving to two subs One sub is fine, two are always better. More is better in the case of subs. As others have said, multiples really can better fill out the sound stage and give a really full and balanced experience. One huge fallacy is that subs are for movies and ... | |
Why are People Dumping their Audio Research Gear and What Does it Say about them? I really doubt any number of people (consumers who own the gear) are "dumping" gear because there is something going on with the manufacturer. Normal people don't follow such things about the companies they have bought gear from and would never ca... | |
Ripping CD's +1 for Exact Audio Copy and also +1 for DB Poweramp. Both are really good, and for some people the fee is worth it to use DB Poweramp. Currently using EAC to rip my collection. Once you create the hi-res files just put them on any media you'd like... | |
Storage boxes. Can I discard high end shipping boxes, and still sell in the future? The "original box" thing is overblown for most things. it is something people have made up over the years and it makes no difference in most cases. Paying storage fees means you need to think about rearranging your life instead of throwing money a... | |
Was I Expecting Too Much If you have a brick & mortar location your first job is to generate foot traffic and people willing to come in and sniff at whatever it is you are selling. That achieved, your next job is to have the sales staff to be able to actually be sales... | |
Could these be your next cable loom??...and price be damned. If you spend enough money you can get around the principles and physics of electrical systems. They clearly know that rule. I wouldn't pay any more than $450k for that garbage. | |
Is it possible for a high end manufacturer to overprice their goods? There are no laws for pricing products. Manufacturers must establish what they think they need to run the business, and then what kind of profit the product might drive. Do these products have some type of exclusive patented technology? Maybe some... | |
Is a home theater even worth it or doable? Most people (people not nerding out here on an audio forum) can enjoy a good home theater and most people spend more time watching TV and movies than anything else. Streaming a movie, or playing from a BluRay disc doesn't really matter, a decent s... | |
MQA Declares Bankruptcy It's a compression schema that has no future relevance, so not surprised. Hi-Res digital audio has now gone beyond the need for the specific capability. As others have said, it was never accepted as a viable choice by many, and called a scam by ot... | |
Budget re-cabling I've been having a great experience with a brand called "World's Best Cables" shopping on Amazon. They give you choices for a lot of combination of cable and connector. I've replaced most or my older cables with this brand and they are not expensi... | |
Streamers made in America? @Ghasley What was wrong with what I stated? I NEVER stated that I only bought things made in USA, just stated that I made the effort. I thought about adding statements of disclaimer and details, but did not think it was needed as I never stated t... | |
Streamers made in America? First off, it's about buying things that support your particular country, state, neighbor, or whatever. It's not always about better quality but that can also be a factor. We all know that just about everything electronic has parts that MUST be so... | |
Why do we stop listening to new music as we get older? Someone said it well already, we form the soundtrack of our lives when we are young, and no matter how much new music we may find, we have in our heads music that is linked to memories of previous times and places that is custom to only our person... | |
Ripping CD's to hard drive I'm using DB Poweramp for ripping on a PC now, and the bitperfect feature is reassuring. I have already ripped my entire library on lesser software and going back to re-rip some due to some found errors. I was troubleshooting what I was hearing as... | |
AUDIO SCIENCE REVIEW and $50 to spend......... ASR provides a perspective, that’s all. It’s only one tool in your toolbox to evaluate a device. Not sure why some folks can’t see why the measurements matter in some cases, and not in others. If a company is promising high level performance on th... |
