| Nearly all manufacturers do not advertise/exhibit their product measurements? Why? I did not deride Mogami cable. If test measurements make it ideal for recording or mastering, that’s what pros should use. If it happens to work in a home system, that’s great too. I only reported what it sounded like in a few upper mid-fi and one... | |
| Nearly all manufacturers do not advertise/exhibit their product measurements? Why? As I previously said, equipment must be matched to a system and in a room. If it sounds best to you, that's fine. ICs are the most common beta test that I have done in 25 years (about 90%, maybe 100 designs). Fortunately, after all those trial... | |
| Nearly all manufacturers do not advertise/exhibit their product measurements? Why? Well those two cable manufacturers do publish their test measurements. It's too bad that the Canare and Mogami tried in the past 10 years by friends (4X) said that were mediocre for playback, not bad just uninteresting. They purchased more expen... | |
| Nearly all manufacturers do not advertise/exhibit their product measurements? Why? @phusis Great discussion of speaker performance. My Legacy speakers marketing targeted very low bass distortion. Distortion numbers at frequency intervals at low and high SPL as well as bass=very indicative of a speaker's capability. Speakers w... | |
| Nearly all manufacturers do not advertise/exhibit their product measurements? Why? @carlsbad Yes, I was banned in less than 2 hours. You can read about it on the Audio Science Review review on Audiogon. @mitch2 The real problem are cables and tweaks. Where are the electric and/or acoustic specifications (let alone measurement... | |
| Nearly all manufacturers do not advertise/exhibit their product measurements? Why? @lalitk Well, cartridge manufacturers generally do provide higher end cartridges (above $1000) with frequency response curves. I remember even Grado's cheap cartridges did. I use those measurements as I don't like rising high end cartridges (Ly... | |
| Nearly all manufacturers do not advertise/exhibit their product measurements? Why? @carlsbad Apparently you haven’t read the Audio Science Review forum with over 1000 posts to date. Amir threw me off after the first two hours with maybe 50 to 100 ASR member comments, taking neutral statements out of context, perverting my comme... | |
| Nearly all manufacturers do not advertise/exhibit their product measurements? Why? @petg60 There are high end product buyers based on specs alone. Why don't high end manufacturers who are so proud of their products provide test measurements in addition to specs? | |
| Nearly all manufacturers do not advertise/exhibit their product measurements? Why? From the ASR forum, I stated, unequivocally, that equipment should be heard in a system in a room to determine a purchase. Regardless of the test measurements. Test measurements in sound only get one so far (ASR/Amir’s golden standard). Hearing is... | |
| Nearly all manufacturers do not advertise/exhibit their product measurements? Why? @mikelavigne +100! | |
| Best vibration isolation for speakers on carpet? @theaudiotweak Your posted video was excellent. ASR (AudioScienceReview) lambasted this guy and his video as unscientific and snake oil. This is exactly why I started a forum concerning ASR and their inadequacies as well as venomous hatred for ... | |
| Best vibration isolation for speakers on carpet? My floorstanders weigh 210 lbs each. They are sitting on 90 oz plush pile over a 12" 3000 psi concrete slab steel reinforced. I am using spikes designed for the speakers. It may not be correct but in earthquake country, it appears stable whic... | |
| What speakers have you mistakenly let go and then later repurchased? I had Advents, Dynaco 25, 35 & 50, ADS 620, all of which are long retired/gone (40+ years). I consider someone keeping the older set rather than repurchasing it satisfactory for this forum discussion. | |
| One turntable with two arms, or two turntables with one each - which would you prefer? @pindac I had no problem with my VPI 19-4 for vibration relief-it has springs and rubber feet. I almost gave back my VPI TNT VI because it's feet are next to worthless for isolation, even sitting on a heavy steel stand with 50/50 sand/shot filli... | |
| Bookshelf vs diffuser panel. Who wins? @dekay We are neighbors! Bobbette Fleschler & Catherine Mulholland founded the Friends in 1993. I know because when I made the final bid for my house she was at the founders meeting and was elected first president that day. (We got the hou... |
