| Which speakers do you like in the $5K price range? GoldenEar Triton One | |
| FLAC vs WAV And given that there is division between FLAC and WAV among certain of those who have responded to this topic, I’d now like to ask if it is the opinion of those in the FLAC or WAV camp as to whether or not there is a quality difference in playing ... | |
| Do i need a CD player, or can I use Mc Book? While you technically do not "need" one, you probably "want" a dedicated CD player. I'd have to believe there is a quality improvement using a dedicated player. Honestly I'm not a fan of Apple products at all. For a CD player I went the route of a... | |
| FLAC vs WAV Steve (audioengr), given your response, would you go further to say that by extrapolation, one should convert FLAC to WAV prior to burning to CD (as opposed to letting the same CD burning software do the conversion)? Again, in my case I would conv... | |
| So how many people are using subwoofers I'm using Golden Ear Triton One's. The sub is built in and can go to 16Hz. Sean, I think this qualifies as an exception in the case of vented. Dennisj, besides my T1s I know there are other high-end speaker manufacturers that use powered woofers o... | |
| Krell KAV 300i Problem Malik, while it certainly can be a true problem, Al may be entirely correct about it not being abnormal. One thing though that could help differentiate between normal/abnormal and that you have not indicated... at what volume level does the hum oc... | |
| FLAC vs WAV DTC, the short answer to your questions is no.The longer answer is as follows. The FLAC file(s) I am speaking of are "created" outside of my control. Specifically, I download them from bt.etreeg.org using Utorrent (64-bit). I then burn to CD using... | |
| FLAC vs WAV Thank you mapman and emailists. I concur with you Emailists, although I have not used AIF with a MAC. Perhaps to restate my point of this thread in different words, what I am saying is that it certainly appears as though it is "best" to pre-decomp... | |
| What do you do when you live hours from nowhere Depending on your music preferences - for instance if you're into heavy metal - you could listen at insane loud volume levels (100+ db) without being a bother to neighbors. | |
| What's the greatest bargain in audio racks these days? Ebm, regarding best sound from the Symposium rack, only one issue... $$$$$. Not sure either of their two models would qualify as a "bargain". Admittedly though if cost were no object I'd get one of those myself bargain or not. | |
| How bad is the damage to my speakers? Nice speakers! You probably did NOT do any damage at all. This is an excerpt from B&Ws marketing literature (for your model):"Which means excellent timing and control, no matter how loud you’re playing it."The specs for the speakers indicate r... | |
| Hearing loss and audio reviewers ? READ ON Just my two cents on this interesting topic. Personally, I believe the degree to which humans loose hearing as they age varies and under normal conditions is small. Obviously if there is anything medically wrong or an unusual accident this is a di... | |
| Triton One, Audio Physics EP2 or Used Merlin VSM-M I have Triton Ones and highly recommend them. As I’ve stated on other posts in this forum and elsewhere, they are an exceptional value. Admittedly, I have never listened to the other speakers you mention herein, however, I can tell you honestly th... | |
| Music for testing equipment speakers, headphones.. I have three CDS any one of which are very revealing.I use Sportin Life (all tracks) by Weather Report. This disk was used in the 80's by Leonard Radio (Manhattan NY) to demo all of their equipment at the time. They sold rather high-end and pricey... | |
| Ribbon tweeters...out of favor these days? I unintentionally neglected to point out that I do realize this topic is about "ribbon tweeters" and my response is geared towards "high velocity folded ribbon tweeters". The following is an excerpt of GoldenEar literature about the HVFR tweeter:"... |
