| Tidal News RE: Sprint Acquires 33 Percent of Jay Z's Tidal for $200 Million This is a really terrible thing. It means Tidal will now only work in half the places it used to. | |
| How often is your system "good"? In addition to mere "it's in your head" there's some tiny bit of evidence for actual psychosomatic effects. That is, the mind influencing your body to act differently.It's been a very long time since I took Neurology but there are some muscles aro... | |
| Wilson Audio Haters To sub or not to sub, that is the question.Whether it is nobler on the ear to suffer the rise and fall of room modes or by equalizing, end them.....The further down the octaves you go the more problems you need to solve. 2-way speakers aren't bett... | |
| Best way to Crossover JL Audio F110 into system You should be able to find used Bryston and maybe Krell as well. :) Best,E | |
| Wilson Audio Haters Subs when well integrated are breathtaking.At all other times they are miserable failures that make you wonder why you ever got into Hi Fi at all, and whether you will ever be happy again. Best,E | |
| Cutting below 80 HZ on my mains, so subwoofers handle deep bass? You know, you could also just cut the subwoofer's low pass filters instead. :) | |
| Wilson Audio Haters OK Shadorne, you win. | |
| High end vintage vs contemporary DAC's - are sonic improvements real? Also Wyred4Sound makes well made USB to S/PDIF converters | |
| High end vintage vs contemporary DAC's - are sonic improvements real? @tcatman There are a number of $2K dacs you should consider. Especially if you have a lot of Redbook to play.Mytek/Schiit/Ayre iFi makes well respected USB--> SPDIF converters. | |
| Schiit Yggdrasil a Sterophile review and test. As a Mytek Fan, my other likely DAC would have been a Schiit. :) Recommended by me. That and $2000 will buy you a DAC. ;) | |
| Wilson Audio Haters I want to add:No one buys "accuracy." We buy music pleasure, or we should. Some car drivers like having a slippery rear end. It’s part of the fun. Many speakers in this day and age are like that. Life is short, and money limited. You should not go... | |
| Wilson Audio Haters @ricred1 Eff no!! The last thing I would call them are accurate. Definitely preferred by some. High-end I would think are objectively close to very accurate include Crystal Cables, Monitor Audio, Gryphon, Magico. Whether they are preferred, that’s... | |
| Wilson Audio Haters @shadorne Your writing confuses "beaming" with "lobing" and "compression." Until you do some reading on this I'm afraid we'll be unable to discuss things on common ground. Best,E | |
| Wilson Audio Haters @shadorne You say "problems’ as a speaker designer I say "possibilities." The directivity of an AMT is different than a dome or ring, but if you are going to attack it, you will attack all line or planar sources, including ESL speakers from Martin... | |
| Wilson Audio Haters @shadorne I take exception to your claims about AMT’s compressing. The real problem is, like many technologies, there are AMT’s and then there are AMT’s! Just like any speaker technology, no 1 aspect of a tweeter can tell you if it’s good or not. ... |
