| Amir and Blind Testing Following this logic, which I agree with, wouldn’t blind testing, or any A/B testing be compromised because our brains are always in analytical mode and therefore feeding us inaccurate data? No, unless it's not a proper conducted test. Seems ... | |
| An electrical engineer on how power cables can impact sound quality How come no one talks about results from an emi measuring device. Probably because any competently built audio component has built in filtering. | |
| An electrical engineer on how power cables can impact sound quality There's a reason it was titled "What The Specs Don’t Tell You… And Why" and not "What The MEASUREMENTS Don’t Tell You… And Why". | |
| Intriguing inquiry, are floor-stand speakers always better than active speakers? Active is far from a dead end. To see state of the art sound reproduction look no further than active speakers. The newest most interesting designs are from companies like Kii, Dutch and Dutch, Genelec, Mesanovic who's known for microphones, Ex M... | |
| Frequency Response For $20K and not hearing the speaker I'd ask if they took it to Canada NCR anechoic chamber for testing since they are made in Canada. If so ask to see the spins. | |
| How to make small room sound bigger What's with the list of speakers and amps ? Ones on hand or ones under consideration? To make the room seem larger you don't want a lot of absorption. | |
| Intriguing inquiry, are floor-stand speakers always better than active speakers? Focal uses class g and ab amps in some of their active speakers. ATC uses ab amps. | |
| Frequency Response 45hz +-3db? 6db? What's the SPL at 45hz? | |
| Intriguing inquiry, are floor-stand speakers always better than active speakers? If your room is large enough for a powered floor stander. | |
| Intriguing inquiry, are floor-stand speakers always better than active speakers? I wouldn't say passive are always better than active. Price wise you could get a better setup going passive up to a point. If your price range starts around $10K that's where active becomes more attractive. | |
| An electrical engineer on how power cables can impact sound quality I like black generic power cables. The only reason I will not use the stock cable is if it's to short or long that's when I bring up the browser and order a shorter or longer black generic power cable. | |
| PS Audio PowerPlant 12 Review (AC Regenerator) This objectivist admits he has biases and under sighted testing would probably never hear a difference. Of course the claims made about the product under discussion would need certain test equipment to see if they held up as difference in SQ is no... | |
| PS Audio PowerPlant 12 Review (AC Regenerator) Well, perhaps it’s not a very good analog. How about, ths thing could no more change the sound of an amplifier than change the resolution of your OLED TV. I agree the first and foremost pursuit is listening, I disagree that measurements take a bac... | |
| Let me end the Premp/Amplifier sound debate ... There is no debate. Amplifiers have been commodities for years. They can be built as tone controls but... | |
| PS Audio PowerPlant 12 Review (AC Regenerator) Listening to anything connected to a power regenerator would tell you as much about sound like drinking orange juice from a refrigerator connected to one would tell you about taste. Why would anyone think this thing can change the sound of an a... |
