| Speakers on top of subwoofer @ghdprentice Don't do this? Wilson is doing it wrong? BTW...these go down to 20 HZ. B&W, TAD and many others do the same split configuration. | |
| Speakers on top of subwoofer This is not a problem. Simply use a vibration isolation pad/feet between the speakers and the subwoofer. Think for a minute how many expensive large floor standing speakers have large, vibrating bass drivers in them. Too many to count AND they h... | |
| Audirvana streaming I'm using Audirvana and Qobuz combo. Happens occasionally. Just do a re-boot of Audirvana program and it usually fixes it. Seems to be a software glitch? | |
| The Psychology Of Collecting "Freud suggested collecting stems from toilet training." During covid or any storm/hurricane the first thing that was cleared off the shelves was toilet paper. People collected/hoarded far more than they needed and creating unnecessary scarcity. ... | |
| Upgrading to a stand alone DAC @helomech +1 Many of these DACs have very inexpensive IC chips costing less then $1. Cost restraint prevents them from using discreet op/amps. An inexpensive "Chi-Fi" DAC can be had for as little as $300 with an interchangeable op/amp chip opt... | |
| Have you noticed as your system improves? I agree with Paul McGowen who says music should be played appropriately loud. There's a restriction of resolution when the volume knob is too low. Low volume acts like stepping on the brake pedal. It's reasonable to play acoustic music at a natu... | |
| Humour What's the first step in curing audiophilia? Stop playing with your Tweeter! | |
| Humour Why did the audiophile refuse to eat seafood? Because he heard it was too 'Bass-y' for his taste. A real knee slapper!! | |
| Humour I don't get it. | |
| If A.I. took the place of musicians, would you listen to it? Kraftwerk... 'we are the robots' They (robot legs dancing only) were the featured act at the music awards back in the 80's. Was very popular and interesting to listen to. Singers made themselves sound like robots and now robots are sounding li... | |
| If A.I. took the place of musicians, would you listen to it? A good song would still be enjoyable to listen to no matter who made it. I don't see a reason to hate on it just because it's AI generated. It's up to you. If you like an AI generated song... fine. I wouldn't try to censor it. If the real arti... | |
| Anyone experience any Op amp rolling? @bbarten Be aware that the Burson V7 are supposed to be even better than the Sparkos 3602 and the same price. (if they fit size wise.) I wonder what the difference is between V7 Burson and the Sparkos ss2590 top of the line. Please check those ... | |
| Anyone experience any Op amp rolling? @bbarten Yes, currently experimenting. I find class 'A' mode to be the most dynamic and punchy. In January, at the audio show in Tampa, there was quite a buzz about Geshelli labs having a socketed DAC the J2. Easy plug in and out. I recently ca... | |
| Plugging rear ports of "bookshelf" speakers? The reason for plugging port is the port can muddy the bass. A bass note is first sent out the front of the speaker then a delayed signal is sent out the rear port, hits the wall and arriving slightly later to the listener. The port is also 'tuned... | |
| Should Speaker Manufactures provide a Frequency Response Graph? MAYBE some people may like the sound of the speaker regardless of the graph. MAYBE it does sound good even with a not so perfect graph. MAYBE it's thinking outside the box and creating a speaker that has it's own unique signature. ThomasAndStere... |
