| How good is the crossover in your loudspeakers? The NoRez without any doubt changes the sound of any speaker tremendously. But it is a hit and miss. | |
| Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too? Mark Knopfler, Dire Straits and especially Brothers in Arms! | |
| Is there a ROON sound? Roon always a little detrimental to the sound. I have tried it several times. I guess it’s nice for people who know nothing about the history of music. | |
| What does the audio term 'air' mean? There is no air in a recording studio. It only exists in reverberate halls. | |
| Unusual countries for audio gear South America? Anything? | |
| ??? My First Classical Concert,What Can I Expect ??? Sorry to say but churches are very challenging venues acoustically, especially for a “small town symphony”. They are good for choral and organ. I suggest you treat yourself in the future for an experience in a proper concert hall in a big city, an... | |
| Standmount speaker suggestion ATC which has better midrange than Harbeth and much better dynamics. It’s the latter that makes music exciting. | |
| Anybody having trouble getting near-your-asking-price for used gear ? (Plz. no hype) Even stuff like speaker stands, which sound the same for 200 years, sell for 40% after a year. | |
| Does USB cable length make a diference? The person down under who makes Curious usb cables claims shorter sound better. | |
| The Audio Science Review (ASR) approach to reviewing wines. Oenology does exactly that. With the difference that oenologists mainly work in the audio… sorry wine industry. The person representing the audio reviewer, would be called a sommelier. The ASR bunch are certainly not in that business. | |
| "The room can totally wreck, or make, a system" I live in a concrete apartment and listen in my living room. There’s nothing I can do about the very strong peak at 90 hz and complete null at 40 hz. The Fabfilter pro-Q3 I could use for the 90 hz in Audirvāna is far from transparent. | |
| Who positions their speakers straight ahead (zero tow in) and why. In big rooms yes, in small rooms you’d be listening mostly to side wall reflections. | |
| Linear power supply for Weiss DAC 204 I would wait for a month or two and get the new Uptone JS-4. I’m sure it’s better than Pardo/Modwright/certainly LHY, and can power two needing 2A or one 4A. | |
| 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... |
