| The best tweeter is no tweeter I had to click George’s link to see that ion plasma tweeter, which seems so interesting but then I read reports of that model generating ozone, which is not healthy. What are are people’s opinions of electrostatic treble? I happen to augment my be... | |
| No volume control when playing native DSD If you get a proper high quality analog preamp, you will gain the needed volume control and achieve better sound by running the Dac at full volume.I’ve tried Direct from my Dac and the preamp always wins (provided you can afford a good one with a ... | |
| Bits Are Bits, Right? My only question is “what’s a CD player?” | |
| A thousand audio uses for memory foam. Or maybe just one . . . I’m not sure what this adds to the discussion, but a couple of years ago I got a new bed. It wasn’t memory foam but rather latex over individual coils. Incidentally latex never breaks down, unlike all types of foam.The queen size mattress was ma... | |
| Speakers Don’t Matter As Much As We Think They Do? How much should the paint cost in a painting? | |
| Best speakers to replace Martin Logan CLS You’ve answered your own question. You are clearly an electrostatic fan and are okay with the space they require.The Soundlab 545 is the obvious answer and you have the subs to extend their Low frequency.Doubt you’ll find them used however.While ... | |
| Only 1 Lacquer producer left, in a garage in Japan? This fire could have a silver lining. Since the demand for LP’s grows every year, someone will surely fill the void, and perhaps do an ever better job, especially if more than one new facility emerges.On a side note, I was watching an interview wi... | |
| LP made from a digital master recording... My theory is this - if a digital recording is available in high res and you have a good DAC then the digital is preferable. If it’s an analog recording and the LP was pressed in a purely analog manner (some lathes digitize the signal to do groove ... | |
| Why are Trolls not blocked I recently thought of quite the conspiracy theory. The Troll is actually a ruse meant to frustrate users into opting for the Insider option to avoid the nonsense posts. | |
| Thank you AudiogoN and users, for civility.... This place is a model of civility compared with the pinball forum I sometimes post on. Talk about a$&&@s. Funny thing is that pinball machines have a resale value that would shock any audio person. Aside from many machines which go up ... | |
| Speaker manufacturers or box manufacturers with off the shelf drivers? I Think it comes down to being a smart consumer an educated audio enthusiast and training your ear/brain. Speaker design is an art and a science and its up to you to decide if a speaker represents a good value for your budget and tastes. Also don’... | |
| Albums that you listen to straight through / start to finish whenever you put them on! I tend to listen to the latest Springsteen album Western Stars all the way through. One night I listened to it then the live film soundtrack version.A double Album I sometimes listen to all the way through is Sufjan Stevens Illinois. These are b... | |
| Square living room--12x12 First thing is do you own the space, or just renting?I have some suggestions, but only if you are the owner. | |
| Why are Trolls not blocked I resent being called a troll! (Okay I did create one troll post in protest because I couldn’t stand having to scroll past the garbage being hoisted upon this site). The truly frustrating thing is that there is way to discuss even counter intuitiv... | |
| Axe to grind know it alls One of the other Audio forums declares itself an AbX free zone, which I interpret as meaning you can’t post that someone’s observation is invalid because it wasn’t ABX tested (please someone correct me if I’m wrong). I think those kind of guidelin... |
