| a resonance in my left ear I have tinnitus in my left ear and a bit similar problems. I’d say they are mainly caused by speakers rather than source and speaker stands/feet can aggravate it. The room reflections play a big role, not only in listening room, but concert halls... | |
| Current or Previous Harbeth Owners… Just like dpac996 I have chosen ATC after several smaller models of Harbeth. ATC does have a better, more colourful midrange and the dynamics are much better. I’m a classical listener and Harbeth is an often advised brand to people like me, for so... | |
| Has anybody had experience with Jena Labs Haldi AES-EBU digital cable How many audio equipment and accessories named after norse mythology are there in the world? Why are most of them North American? | |
| IsoAcoustics GAIA Iso Acoustics is yes men’s favourite accessory but not all of us agree. I tried mine under PMC speakers and decided they did not provide better sound on my bouncy floors. Sold them. | |
| Biwiring make any sense? I have always opened up the terminal cover and soldered the wires from the crossover to the lower pair of binding posts. Beats a $10000 pair of biwire links. | |
| Speakers that disappear Few speakers disappear in smallish concrete block rooms. | |
| Is Recording quality the real culprit? As a classical listener I find this not a big problem. 😆 | |
| Toe in is crucial Toe in is important, but too rarely do we talk about listening height. We are all of different stature and surely have different listening chairs. Standmount speakers are put on whatever stands with different footers, maybe backward slant etc. Tha... | |
| Borresen X3 vs Harbeth 40.2 -- my impressions The biggest problem of Harbeths is lack of speed and dynamics. Michael Børresen has always aimed for leading edge accuracy and imaging. Plus the unfortunate midbass hump, probably because he designs small speakers for very large rooms. | |
| Aftermarket fuse to tame a bright system? The smoothest sounding fuse is likely Hifi-Tuning Supreme3 copper, but personally I’d change the speakers for smoother ones. | |
| Active Speakers Don't Sound Better Once you upgrade and tweak the passive ATC crossover the active version doesn't sound better anymore. | |
| Is the idea of audiophile listening a dying concept as boomers die off? I ask myself the same question about audiences in classical orchestral concerts I attend. Average age of the audience is very high. In the future the hall will be half empty unless they start playing only tunes from video games and movies. | |
| DSD coming to Qobuz streaming? Streaming dsd64 will not be a problem, but most "audiophiles" will be disappointed with that. | |
| DSD coming to Qobuz streaming? Qobuz hinted at this years ago. Precisely in July 2022, when they said ”wait for a year”. | |
| Denafrips Pontus *15th* ? It may very well be they are forced to make new versions, many parts have become obsolete during the recent years. Several Nichicon and Elna capacitors not to mention many chips are not manufactured anymore and their prices have risen tremendously... |
