| Darko Audio: Let's End the Cost Videos A student in North America starts grad school around age 22 (if going right into it after 4-ish years of undergrad). Guy wouldn’t have turned 20 yet when his channel started 6 or 7 years ago. Maybe he got hired on to move boxes at the high end aud... | |
| Acoustics experts - a little help please @thom_oz It would be silly to put the output of a turntable/phonostage through any ADC conversion for a different eco-system. Keep it as is... But, as we both know, vinyl either came from master tape or a hires digital studio master. If you li... | |
| Darko Audio: Let's End the Cost Videos You do realize Jay Iyagi is a kid, right? I doubt he had even turned 20 when he started his channel. Here's an old video where he's trying to articulate the difference in sound signatures of 2 speakers...not bad for a kid actually. I used to have... | |
| How large (or small) is the audiophile market? To my knowledge, the customer base is in Asia for most of the "ultra high end" sales from us/euro brands. I'd love to know the actual numbers of 75k speakers sold annually in the US, that and how many 100k amps. I think the absurdly high priced ... | |
| Acoustics experts - a little help please @thom_oz The perception of detail is a relatively complex topic. For example, i could play you a) a stereo mix on a pure stereo rig, b) move you to the next room -> run the same mix through an object based/3d audio upmixer and also c) compar... | |

| Acoustics experts - a little help please Further, any stereo mix is not set in stone. If the mastering tech got too high the night before, you got a trash mix from him the next day. Any enthusiast can a learn a few things from the pros and by himself, get some hardware, study some perti... | |
| Acoustics experts - a little help please Not sure if your read the whole comment... @thom_oz The definition of 3D is getting a li’l blurred here. I have a couple of combinations of purist stereo, especially one built around a pair of tads that will do what you’re trying to describe and... | |
| Network Switches If there is more than 1 source/streaming device in the same room requiring an ethernet input, the case for the switch is even there. Otherwise, I assume most everyone here does some optical decoupling (pair of FMCs or executed in similar fashion)... | |
| Network Switches +1 on the iFi Additionally, if a guy is stuck deep in the weeds/chasing some noise through the ethernet infrastructure... but, if the speaker is some lackluster li’l matchbox and the room is low resolution chaos, all this ’ethernet stuff’ (for in... | |
| Kef Blade or Wilson Audio Alexia? Kef Reference 5 meta will execute better in most rooms than the Blade and the Willy. Get a pair of kc62 kef microsubs to go with it and move it around in the room. Once it clicks in place, you might achieve something worthwhile. | |
| Darko Audio: Let's End the Cost Videos Darko and Andrew Robinson probably attract the highest volume of new blood to audiophilia on YouTube (initial gateway). You probably need to make such statements constantly with the fresh blood...they all start out very suspicious about spending,... | |
| Holo Audio May / please help Step a) Return Revopod and get money back. Step b) Get these 30 durometer sorbothane pucks from amazon for 15 dollars. https://a.co/d/gNHr2x3 Step c) Set May dac atop these pucks gently. Good luck. | |

| Favorite Newly Discovered Female Vocalist Discovered a British trip hop/psychedelic band called Morcheeba in recent times... The album "escape the chaos" is a decent intro to their sound, perhaps. Sample Track - Bleeding Out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oVS6j_Ax0FU |
