| Streaming vs Physical Media Sorry GHD I can’t agree. Serving up this information would be rudimentary if they wanted to. If anything I have found a digression in easily available data. My understanding from research is that royalty rates are not the same for every track and ... | |
| How Audiphiles are Different @tannoy56 the answer to your question is obvious but does not match the original posts narrative. While we may have individual preferences around frequency response it seems, how we all hear is fundamentally exactly the same. | |
| How Audiphiles are Different You are creating a false equivalence. How many tones, what frequency, etc. really does not matter if the artifacts are below human detectable limits which they appear for many products (not all) to be well below especially considering that loud so... | |
| Streaming vs Physical Media The hardest thing with streaming is the providence of the recording. I think streaming services purposely make it difficult to quickly find specific recordings. I find when I am comparing a specific recording (and volume levelling is off) there is... | |
| How Audiphiles are Different How can you make that statement Eric for a 32 tone multi-tone test Eric? That is 32 tones, independent, mixed together, which measure volume will swing from low to high at they reinforce and cancel, and then the total result is captures and measu... | |
| DAC diminishing returns IMHO there are likely 10 other things in your system that need far more attention. I have heard DACs with intentional sound differences using tubes, and I have heard DACs that allow you to change the filter settings that causes an apparently audib... | |
| How Audiphiles are Different Do we truly listen through bad room acoustics better (and why the heck as audiophiles are we), or have we just heard most pieces we have listened to so many times that much of what we are hearing is high level memory, not low level detail? Most au... | |
| Isn't it really about quality of recording? I agree with your @petaluman. | |
| cheapest cable upgrade ever Checks date. Nope, not April 1. | |
| Isn't it really about quality of recording? I suspect that many "audiophile" systems are far from it and what the owner likes, no matter the price, is the colorations of their systems. Some recordings sound better with some equalization, some with some AV processor tricks. Some sound best p... | |
| Analog vs. digital Weird to have this discussion in 2022. Should be obvious digital is a far superior formar. Should also be obvious that the final recorded product is far more important and why we often prefer the vinyl version. Then again what poorly setup vinyls ... | |
| Question about speaker angle But, to me, the biggest change one can expect is on the focus of the center image (toe-in increases focus) and the left to right spread of the image (toe-in decreases the spread), such that one is trying to find the right compromise. I think th... | |
| Yep much to do about nothing. Fear brains. McDonald's as a company is shutting down. They sold what I assume are corporate stores and likely all the business intelligence, warehousing, manufacturing, etc. associated with running a chain. | |
| The sound quality from DACs - is it all the same? @kcleveland My headphones have distortion <<0.01%. I am not sure there is any speaker made with distortion that low. My DAC and headphone amplifier have far lower distortion than that. No speaker and amp you have is going to be more reve... | |
| GaN amps: Peachtree or LSA Voyager? @snapsc I can't see why it would not be possible. Distortion is just harmonics of the original signal. I expect there would be some complexity. The distortion would be influenced by signal level and I expect frequency. I am sure there are lots o... |
