| USB sucks @Antigrunge You seem to be having an issue with business fundamentals.. If thereâs a market, then it makes business sense for someone to create a product that addresses the market demand. It matters not one bit that there wasnât a demonstrable pro... | |
| USB sucks @Antigrunge Iâm assertive in my opinion because itâs borne out by evidence derived from testing. The reclocking and cleaning products you refer to have been shown to do more harm than good on numerous occasions if youâre referring to USB. Example:... | |
| USB sucks People in here claiming that USB sucks should really read some DAC reviews over on the much maligned AudioScienceReview, who fastidiously measure all outputs when conducting DAC/Streamer reviews. Coax and Toslink are routinely trounced by USB in t... | |
| Are the loudness wars fake so record companies can destroy the music? Uberwaltz nailed it. Thereâs no conspiracy here, music is just not being mastered for Audiophiles anymore, if it ever was. Itâs being mastered to sound as good as possible on the devices that 98% of the world listen on. Phones, tablets, laptops an... | |
| USB sucks This thread đđđIdk, it sounds like this company was way too ambitious with their drivers and software after reading a review. The DAC I mean. All the nonsense about USB being unreliable is exactly that, nonsense. Plugging something in, installing ... | |
| $5k Pair Full Range Speaker Shootout - Help me pick @mn2bttb & helomechIâm leaning Revel, if my listening room is never going to be bigger than say, 20x12â, should I spring for the F208 or should I save a bit and go with the F206? It looks like they use the same mid/tweet and the only differenc... | |
| Built a DIY butcher block and iron pipe rack over the weekend That looks fantastic! Will definitely be stealing this idea when I eventually move my gear into a dedicated room. Stain it whatever color matches and go! Awesome! | |
| Why high-end cable manufacturers don't post measurements? Miller, your use of that KenRockwell article for dramatic effect is totally disingenuous. Megapixels matter very much, but not if the sensors actual surface area is small. Which is why claiming youâve squeezed 20+ MP onto a 1.7â sensor is meaningl... | |
| How do you all manage mild hearing loss? Yes, been to the doc. Oldhvymec, I only bother with the finest trees. | |
| $5k Pair Full Range Speaker Shootout - Help me pick @justineasbach Bright? Harsh? That hasnât been my experience with any of the Ultima or Performa lines that Iâve heard in the past. That actually is good info to hear, because it basically rules out the B&W for me, if you found it to be civiliz... | |
| $5k Pair Full Range Speaker Shootout - Help me pick I do have two subs, and can split the bottom end off on my Martin Logan Dynamo 10â for music. Have a Sunfire True EQ 12â for HT. Though I wasnât planning on using a sub for my 2-Ch setup. Totem is a good suggestion, Iâve loved their gear since I f... | |
| How do you all manage mild hearing loss? Thanks for the feedback so far. On the upside for this entire community, there are promising technologies working their way through R&D that may be able to regrow the cilia (hairs on your eardrum) that vibrate and signal your brain that you're... | |

| Anybody want a laugh? Upset.. Youâre seeing the neutered version, I think Iâve had more of my posts here moderated than any forum Iâve posted on in the last 20 years. As for limiting my media consumption to âcute stuffâ, judging by how flimsy peopleâs confidence in the... |
