| 3-Dimensional Soundstage It is perfectly fine you enjoy the unnatural sound (immersive 3-d, magical sounds, etc). @mihorn I think you may have got the "unnatural" mixed up... Go to a great acoustic hall, book the golden seat (in advance) and watch a wind ensemble or ... | |

| WHY IS THERE SO MUCH HATE FOR THE HIGH END GEAR ON AUDIO GEAR? As I’ve noted before, conducting a scientifically valid controlled listening test such as ABX is not as simple as it may appear. I’ve participated in a few such tests conducted by real professionals, and the degree of diligence they displayed was... | |
| Did a satisfaction threshold exist under 1000 bucks ? Making the most with the less is true audio knowledge... You are missing out a bit. There is a true audio savant in industry named Andrew Jones who offered charity for many years. It may be practically impossible for other dudes to eek out qual... | |
| WHY IS THERE SO MUCH HATE FOR THE HIGH END GEAR ON AUDIO GEAR? I am always open to new tech. So far I have been very unimpressed with Dolby Atmos. Particularly with upmixes. Not sure what any tech can do better than the BACCH and the BACCH works with the vast body of stereo recordings in existence. No up sam... | |

| WHY IS THERE SO MUCH HATE FOR THE HIGH END GEAR ON AUDIO GEAR? I thought I did explain the BACCH SP. As for validating other peoples’ experiences that comes down to two things. What is the likelihood of one’s observation to be the result of the actual sound? @scottwheel , Hmmm, so you are a BACCH guy eh? W... | |
| WHY IS THERE SO MUCH HATE FOR THE HIGH END GEAR ON AUDIO GEAR? Asking for a double blind test as only proof for any subjective testimony given in good faith in a hobby site about anyone using something in his audio system /room is asking too much from a too high chair ... @mahgister , it doesn’t have to be... | |
| What news in 2023 struck you? Some of the more "relatively" affordable trickle down Borresen speakers hitting the scene..holy crap! Here's a nitpick that a non-ocd non-musician shouldn’t concern himself with. But, it is perhaps not as tonally accurate or produce as realistic ... |
