| Tidal loudness normalization As soon as Tidal is working again, i'll do just that! | |
| A very good ENGINEERING explanation of why analog can not be as good as digital.. One thing missing in purely engineering studies is human preference. The best businesses rely on audience studies to determine engineering targets. Not the other way around. While we can make the engineering case that 96k/24 bit recordings are so ... | |
| What kind of gear do you listen to Mars with? Here it is on Youtube without the paywallhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yT50Q_Zbf3s | |
| Affordable integrated pure class A? Arcam and Ayre are two brands I'd listen to first. Ayre integrateds are quite affordable used. | |
| Rectifier Tubes Ideally, a tube characteristics is less important than the filter that follows it. The tube rectifier will determine the voltage, but ideally, the filter should eliminate noise, and is responsible for any supply sag, not the rectifier overall.I gu... | |
| Big speakers in small room at moderate volume levels In a smaller space, as Fritz to make you a custom build with a single ScanSpeak mid/woofer. | |
| Suggestion for best stereo amp ? Parasound HaloAyreand a number of great Class D designs out there. Those would definitely help the WAF as they are small and easier to put away. | |
| SQ : Anthem receiver vs. processor If things get bad, my amps have switchable inputs, so I can use the RCA for HT listening, and the XLR inputs from my DAC for music directly. | |
| SQ : Anthem receiver vs. processor caphill - << sigh >> I know. At this point i'm limited by space, and clutter. | |
| SQ : Anthem receiver vs. processor I care more about signal quality than room correction. | |
| Fixing your cable problems forever. One major financial benefit to making your own speakers is having direct control over the sound balance. It is much more effective to change a tweeter or midrange cap, or adjust the level or balance in the crossover than to play the amp/cable/powe... | |
| Satellites have max 20 watts transmit! Geoff,Sorry, yes, understood. :) I wasn't trying to discount the value of a BAMF antenna. :) Just wanted to know if you knew of that antenna being used for satellite tracking. E | |
| SQ : Anthem receiver vs. processor The reason I’m going through all this trouble is that in the past I’ve had 3 HT processors:EmotivaOnkyoTheta CasanovaAnd the Emotiva and Onkyo were really terrible. Practically jokes compared to the much older Casanova. Of course, the Casanova had... | |
| Satellites have max 20 watts transmit! The Arecibo antenna is a radio telescope though, not really used for routine satellite monitoring, is it? Good news, after Hurricane Maria damaged it, it will now get a 5.8 million dollar upgrade. https://www.space.com/41519-arecibo-observatory-al... | |
| Fixing your cable problems forever. I would never trust myself to make my own cables for goodness sake!! And SPEAKERS???? And this is exactly the problem. We rely so much on others that we have no idea what is bs and what is truth or what is worth a certain amount of money. We tr... |
