| Soundsmith Strain Gauge - Thank You! After an over 6 month wait I got my SG 400 back, with 4 new or rebuilt styli. I might post a threat about it and using a long working distance microscope for alignment. | |
| MoFi controversy The latest in this debacle is that an unnamed (but well known) Mofi executive called a Youtuber to try and get him on Mofi’s side, but ended up blasting Michael Fremer and made implications that it was the buyers fault for misinterpreting! The or... | |
| Bascom H. King Passed Wow I didn’t know Bascom was a deadhead. I just learned about his passing from PS Audio’s site. I’ve paraphrased Bascom’s findings here a number of times and am really happy I own his signature amps, the BHK300’s. | |
| What does a subwoofer solve? While @imhififan brings up a very probable cause, I can assure you that the BHK300’s don’t lack treble, or some other frequency anomaly. I’m using them with a very revealing speaker, the TAD CR1. I’ve never heard the speakers sound better, even ... | |
| Why should audiophile deniers be allowed on an audiophile forum? After being off the forum for a number of days recovering from Covid, it’s pretty shocking to see what’s become of the thread/site. Someone made a Nazi comment about me. The thread has once again become a political landmine, missing my original po... | |
| Contact Enhancer Q45T Thanks for posting - while I see it on cable company, Highfidelitycables.com doesn’t seem to be a functional site at all. I do like the description of their power conditioner for $80,000. Maybe I’ll get one for each monoblock, just for symmetry’... | |
| Upgrade path question with $2k to spend Probably the OP doesn’t have room or budget, but my advice would be to keep the Home theater gear as a separate system, and add a dedicated 2 Chanel rig. They can share the same subs in some cases. I run 2 separate system in one room. The Home the... | |
| Large room acoustics - thoughts on taming echo? Echo slap in corners (where walls meet ceiling) is a large contributor to the problem. I used to use roomtunes Corner traps in a loft with high ceilings. It was remarkable how just the (too small) triangles in the corners got rid of a large amount... | |
| Why should audiophile deniers be allowed on an audiophile forum? @ghdprentice thanks for the suggestion. I’ve tried twice over the years to sign up for audioafficiando but was never accepted, probably because I wasn’t referred by another member. It’s run by a dealer (not sure if that influences posts) and the... | |
| I wrote/mailed tax checks today... I hate to further any potentially political discussion, but the IRS really isn’t the problem. It’s Congress that writes the tax code which the IRS has to enforce. Over many years Congress has starved the IRS so they have less resources to enforce ... | |
| Why should audiophile deniers be allowed on an audiophile forum? After reading all the mostly thoughtful responses, I'll say that this is clearly my problem, my issue of not wanting to spend time reading, engaging with or defending against "debunking" what in my mind are basic principles/building blocks of high... | |
| Why should audiophile deniers be allowed on an audiophile forum? Thanks all for weighing in, in a constructive and respectful manner. Just to clarify though, freedom of speech is the ability for you to publish your writings without government intervention. It does not mean that a newspaper has any obligation ... | |
| The Law of Accelerating Returns I've never forgiven them for their 4-part series on digital audio where they reported the original file on the hard drive sounded better than a copy on the hard drive. I have noticed many things in digital audio That doesn’t make sens... | |
| Reversing hearing loss with regenerative therapy Wow thanks for posting. My issue is tinnitus, so hoping this might help. | |
| Headphone suggestions needed @ghdprentice Since you mentioned the HD800’s I’ll jump in and tell you about how I run mine. I got a custom wired Cardas clear to a pair of XLR females so I can plug them directly into my Atma-sphere pre amp since Ralph stated it can drive headph... |
