| The Insane World of High End Audio! Is it All a Scam? I sure know what a tuned resonator is, higher end studios tend to use them as they can be made more discreet....had one in a former house, found something more broadband and better in recent times. When you said you had a 100 Itty bitty ones tha... | |
| The Insane World of High End Audio! Is it All a Scam? Understandable The most stunning thing i ever experienced in audio, is the huge modification induced by the room materials composition not only the walls, floors, cellings composition, but the furniture... And the geometry and topology of the ro... | |
| Some people actively participate but rarely if ever start a thread. Some members may be more active on other forums or facebook, i suppose I primarily come here to check classifieds. | |
| Sub repair or new sub? If you've only got 500 bucks, get the verafi 12 inch sub and send the svs to its grave. | |
| The Insane World of High End Audio! Is it All a Scam? Some ’boutique’ euro backwater crap brand he touts never had any design/manufacturing clout..I would bet my hat that all of it is subcontracted to China and the final 2 screws get tightened down in Europe.. to make audiophiles feel real special th... | |
| The Insane World of High End Audio! Is it All a Scam? @audioguy85 I could open up the higher end stuff made by Technics, Yamaha, etc and do a back to back comparison of his 'boutique' (low iq engineering/scam priced junk made by some guy in his garage) sold by OCD dealer. The OCD MIKEY GUY IS ANNO... | |
| How long should high quality speakers last? If a speaker is about 10 years old, you should test the drivers, crossover, etc and determine if everything is in spec (even if you weren't abusing it). If you plan to keep some speakers for a long time, get/keep some spare drivers on you before... | |
| The Insane World of High End Audio! Is it All a Scam? I’ll probably just stick with my example. There are ’value hunters’ at different price brackets. This is a high value item @ 800 dollars. This is ALSO a high value item, at 10k dollars. Would a 10k value hunter open the chassis on a d... | |
| The Insane World of High End Audio! Is it All a Scam? How do you get to the bottom of it with cheapaudiomen such as Randy, Mahgister, etc? Conduct an experiment by taking cost out of the equation. Let us suppose 'you know who' set 2 preamps in front of them and said, "You won a free giveaway, Both ... | |
| Okay, that's it -- I'm done (unless I win the lottery) Usher tends to make some very nice sounding speakers. I think you could set up a hybrid multichannel/2 channel rig optimized for music around your marantz & parasound gear. You would need a pair of the Usher Mini-x standmount speakers as surr... | |
| The "young people' music thread - Artists younger than 40 years old Nice recording, surprisingly Halsey - Devil In Me https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UR9nNrkWgAQ | |
| Okay, that's it -- I'm done (unless I win the lottery) Oh no, you're not done....Nirvana ain't there yet, while you keep coming to these forums. Soon, you will look at a Marantz AV10....and you will look at some speakers much better than that Bose crap. Oh no...you're not done... Bwaaaahahahahaa B... | |
| The Insane World of High End Audio! Is it All a Scam? I have some gear at different price categories. Without A/B-ing such items in the same room, you wouldn't be able to tell what exactly you paid for or not. The cheapman youtube guy probably doesn't have any point of reference or clue, except ca... | |
| Do you prefer tall speakers WAF compliance = Lackluster sound For 2 channel, ~6ft is a good height, eg, Tekton Moab. Doesn't quite matter on a multichannel rig, if you have height channels. | |
| JBL 4349 at low listening levels. Jbl 4349 is for like 90+ dB listening levels. For 50-55 db, get some hifiman headphones.. or get some niche in-ear earphones and stick it in your ear (small drivers/associated impulse response, clarity, detail, etc should work well for 50-55 dB s... |
