Ipad app sound level meters vs a portable sound level meters
I can't speak for the Apples Sauce AP, but for the Android software I have tried and trust, UNLESS you are trying to use it as evidence in a court of law, the Android Ap is quite good and representative of what you are hearing. I actually enjoy wa... 
Why 432hz Tuning?
That is why I call it relative pitch.  
My Final System Build in Words & Pictures
Your story is for the most part identical to mine and I am happy to see another out there that doesn't mind a little work for the best possible results. I did the braded speaker cables about 15 years ago when you had to do your own braiding and th... 
We are being flooded by headphone ads
I am only surprised at ANYONE who thinks that this was NOT the next phase of Music evolution. With the Onset of  'STREAMING', modern telephones and Wi-Fi just about anywhere, I would expect nothing different. I know I just got a pair of B&W ea... 
Ethernet switches the good and bad
I didn’t see anyone addressing yet another source of noise in the internet collection of devices. The internet source itself. Especially if you are getting TV over your cable also, like with Xfinity. I put an inexpensive PS Audio, ’HUMZERO’ on the... 
Is there a ceiling limit on what you are willing to pay for an audio component?
I probably have a different outlook when it comes to my audio budget. First off I save up my pennies and pay cash for EVERYTHIG I buy. I have literally saved $100 of thousands over the years. It might take a little longer to achieve my goals but t... 
I downloaded high-res files and...
I must agree wiht the obvious, WAV files or some similar lossless format is the only route to go. And this is why I prefer to burn my music on DVDs. you can get a whole album on one disk and that is pretty much impossible for CDs as they just don'... 
What tier do you consider Anthem integrated?
There are SO many undefined variables that have to be considered. Not just that amp itself. Things like a particular interconnect that might work well o one but not so well on the other. then of course there are the design features like what class... 
Danny Richie on loudspeaker design.
i don't see him talking trash about MANY companies, as one person here suggested. He is only saying that there are going to be inherent problems in ANY design and he specializes in taking the best qualities and rectifying minor (or major) problems... 
Lumin U2 mini vs Mac laptop sound test
Some NICE ideas here. I have another point of failure that I have never heard discussed. That being your IP (Internet Provider) I have been in a 10 year long battle with mine (they have a monopoly here) and recently tried a 5g Internet option. IT ... 
subwoofer buzz - how to eliminate it
I see this as a design failure. In my own design from 20 years ago and  which is downward firing, I have NO BUZZ or vibration. I KNOEW that with Bass frequencies that the BOX must be stable and weigh enough to prevent vibration @ frequency. Of co... 
Power conditoner..
You betcha I'm having a great day and haven't even turned on the music yet!  Also I was not trying to imply that the changes would be drastic, but just there. Also I have seen numerous places where the voltage can change anywhere from just under 1... 
How can you evaluate a system with highly processed music?
mglik THANK YOU! I have mentioned that so many times and that is probably my biggest reason to give negative comments on things like Graphic equalizers. You might be getting what YOU think a song should sound like but that isn’t necessarily what ... 
Power conditoner..
Carrlsbad2 That is a good Approximation, BUT An Amp can ONLY produce  a relative output within and given operating range. If you have say low power you can not get something from nothing, that isn't there to begin with and you will have a compar... 
How do you high pass your main speakers?
Also Tony, Before you go complaining to management as some have in the past, I would suggest you actually READ what I have and HAVN'T said. Notice that I never cut down anyone else advise. Other that to caution you and to give you some SOUND advis...
