| Am I too big of a jerk,even for audiogon? If anyone seriously thinks Kenjit and I may be the same poster I am sure you are also an undecided voter. | |
| Am I too big of a jerk,even for audiogon? Honestly Eric, I believe you suffer from multiple personality disorder, probably only two, which is known as split personality disorder. Oh, hi George. Bada bing!!! I'm here all week folks, and remember to tip your waitress. | |
| Am I too big of a jerk,even for audiogon? Even squires has existential breakdowns! This implies prolonged periods of contentment and mental stability. I don't have breakdowns, I was broken years ago and my pre-existing conditions made it too expensive to fix. | |
| Am I too big of a jerk,even for audiogon? I can hear a fly pass gas at 100yds. I cannot, but I did once see a fly poop. And that is the single most interesting fact about me. | |
| Question For Those That Watch Movies/TV Through Your Two Channel System With a good system imaging correctly a center channel is totally unnecessary and maybe even detrimental. You can type this all you want to, but the math and science, and my own experience in motion picture auditoriums and my own listening rooms di... | |
| Opinion: Half of the reason to listen to choral works is the acoustics in the recording Interesting, "live virtual acoustics." I used to own a sound card which had 3D acoustics features, and gaming was a huge amount of fun with it. CreativeLabs sued them into the ground, and this was long before Atmos, BTW. This was more of the acous... | |
| Ideal Connection path to a dac? The one issue I've run into is galvanic isolation on the USB is not always there. If you go that route, try an inexpensive USB isolator. Not all DACs will work, and it may not benefit all systems, but That is, USB can cause ground loops of the a... | |
| Opinion: Half of the reason to listen to choral works is the acoustics in the recording If your system is set up to handle large scale music in the first place why would an audiophile need to enhance a good recording by adjusting his room acoustic for choral music? Dammed if I know.I’ll argue that if your room acoustics are poor, you... | |
| Question For Those That Watch Movies/TV Through Your Two Channel System I should also say that if you do use a center, it should be matched, or at least reasonably the same quality as the sides. Using a very small center, with limited dynamic range and power handling, with a L/R pair that is not as restricted will sho... | |
| Question For Those That Watch Movies/TV Through Your Two Channel System Hi Erich,A center channel is better than using stereo speakers, but only modestly so and works best with automatic room correction. For reasons related to head transfer, a center channel actually does sound different than a phantom center, even if... | |
| Am I too big of a jerk,even for audiogon? Just don’t do the “which sounds better, amps with meters or amps without meters“, again. Please!Are you kidding? That was one of the most fun threads I ever started. :) Of course I meant it tongue in cheek, but sharing the variety of strong reac... | |
| Am I too big of a jerk,even for audiogon? TBC: Everything I do is parody. | |
| Am I too big of a jerk,even for audiogon? Hey @Kairosman could you be confusing me with Eric Alexander?? | |
| Am I too big of a jerk,even for audiogon? @erik I am still staggered by the raw insecurities masquerading as arrogance revealed on the Tekton Moab thread which you exploited for entertainment purposes. The sheer entertainment value of that thread puts HBO to shame. I just wish there we... | |
| Am I too big of a jerk,even for audiogon? You are big on DYI audio and you seem to expect everyone to embrace it. You fail to realize that there a lot of us older guys who aren’t into that, can’t solder well (me) and would probably screw up a good piece of equipment by modding, etc. I wil... |
