| Blind fold hearing test Call me a nut, but there are plenty of times when I can see what equipment is being used, swap and can't hear a damn difference. I still spend an extra $20,000 on the one with the fancier face plate. | |
| Final piece of the puzzle: digital correction in a suboptimal room Hey egoquaero,Kudos on getting GIK treatment for your room. I honestly think you have too much speaker here, and are overthinking / over purchasing. What you are not realizing is how much room gain you are going to get, and how bad the room modes ... | |
| Speaker Break In...? Or listener “Break In”? TBC: There are a number of times when speaker makers have measured the break in of a woofer. The annoyance for us is that driver manufacturers (not speaker makers) specify the drivers after being broken in, but we get them without, so when we m... | |
| What to do? Buy a new motherboard and rebuild? Or wait for failure? https://www.businessnewsdaily.com/11016-change-windows-10-interface-look.html | |
| I can buy a pair of Sanders Innersound Eros... Read the part about reversing the phase relative to each other. https://www.stereophile.com/content/innersound-eros-mkiii-electrostatic-loudspeaker-measurements-par...Below figure 9. Best,E | |
| Speaker Break In...? Or listener “Break In”? Here’s one I’m going to throw out, because Audiogon is just not contentious enough tonight. Anyone who doesn’t believe capacitors break in, substitute tweeter caps for Mundorf MKPs. This isn’t a point I’m really willing to argue. Believe what you ... | |
| Help looking for dynamic warm romantic sound with detail I’d very much recommend Fritz bespoke speakers, with the ring radiator tweets.Unlike store brands, Fritz will customize a crossover for you, so if you want it more or less colorful or need it brighter, he can make the changes in the crossover for ... | |
| Better Subwoofer for 2 channel Music: Focal Utopia Sub or JL Fathom f113 The issue with sub size is integration. Smaller subs are just less problematic than larger subs. The higher cut off prevents you from waking the dragons that live in the depths. Less chance of exciting nasty room modes, therefore, they sound bette... | |
| I went from Class D to Luxman A/AB - And most of what you think is wrong My main point about Class D power warm up really is just to avoid making buying decisions based on a cold demo as you may get an unfair experience. I'm not suggesting you listen to the D's for two days. That's not part of my recommendation. Best,E | |
| I went from Class D to Luxman A/AB - And most of what you think is wrong FYI, the retail price of the 507ux and ux ii in the US were identical until the latter was introduced. The only difference in the two is a refinement in the feedback loop.Luxman makes a lot of different models, so it is easy to confuse one for ano... | |
| I went from Class D to Luxman A/AB - And most of what you think is wrong TBC: Yes, the ear brain mechanism is very pliable, and constantly adjusting.No, this theory is not a good fit for the multiple case studies reported. | |
| I went from Class D to Luxman A/AB - And most of what you think is wrong Your theory explains 1/10th of the evidence. Equivalent of explaining that Columbus invented sailing. | |
| I went from Class D to Luxman A/AB - And most of what you think is wrong Please, people, the ear and brain combination are a mutable shiftable changeable trainable device. Like the rest of your body, brain and eyes, etc. While this is true, in general, it does not explain what I have heard. First, the time I went away ... | |
| Better Subwoofer for 2 channel Music: Focal Utopia Sub or JL Fathom f113 Um, no. It's actually quite easy to build a good sub. The problem is always integration with the other speakers and the room. If you don't have room correction already, buy the sub with the best options built in. If you can't get that, buy the sma... | |
| I went from Class D to Luxman A/AB - And most of what you think is wrong Stibi,I think that those amps may have done the same to a lot of linear amps too though. :) Best,E |
