| The Method of Tuning We can spend the rest of our listening lives replacing components and we will never come to a completely satisfying set of results. Why? Because audio is variable, audio systems and environments are variable, and we ourselves are variable, and wha... | |
| The Method of Tuning Hi Michael. May I ask, what (band/genre,etc.) is your music preference? Curious because - among other reasons - the music I prefer and listen to regularly is live (recorded) Grateful Dead and extended family. That stated, you mention tuning as bei... | |
| Files off pitch? Can’t figure it out. Hi audiolover718It may be worthwhile to play the source files elsewhere - on another device - at least to insure the off pitch you are hearing is or is not reproducible. Also, in the digital domain pitch can be changed (intentionally). The music ... | |
| Some of the Worst Offenders in Bad Audio Forum Behavior Are Not Regular Forum Members geoffkait - Tell me about it. What would your like to know? And for what purpose? | |
| Golden ear Technology reference @david_ten Appreciate the explanation David. And you're right, I did have a hard time hearing a difference between my Oppo 205 and the Schiit Yggdrasil, until I worked through what to listen for. Seems you know me rather well, because you're also ... | |
| Golden ear Technology reference david_ten - They are good speakers, but did not move or impress me (and I factored out the room, setup, and gear used).Hi David. You and I are typically "on the same page" with most things audio, so I'll preface my reply by stating I'm not looking... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD What does that tell you?That my Amy > Bob > Amy > Bob test is best. | |
| One of the best HDMI cable? ^Actually, this appears to be par-for-the-course. You know, GK states the impossible and/or incorrect, then someone - anyone - corrects you, and then GK fires back with name calling and so forth.Do remember that *by your own admission*, you are th... | |
| One of the best HDMI cable? phillyb - Never fall for big $$$$ HDMI. If the cables is designed proper you Will not see a difference between $20.00 cable or a $500.00 HDMI. I owned many and I speak from experience. BlueJean HDMI are as good as any regardless of price. +1 | |
| One of the best HDMI cable? @geoffkait Come to think about it, I made a mistake. I asked you if you ever think its you who are wrong and there is no such thing as wire directionality. I should have asked if you ever think. 😄 | |
| One of the best HDMI cable? @geoffkait Just an observation.... in your mind no one other than you knows about wire directionality. Ever think its you who are wrong and there is no such thing? | |
| We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses @cleeds Fair enough. Then, given the recent communication, I'd imagine you might consider extending an apology to me for using the word "fraud" numerous times. What we have is a simple disagreement as to how any kind of testing would be performed.... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD ...After researching the different types of digital topologies and learning about what the math and science actually means, I came to the conclusion that a 20-bit R-2R ladder DAC has the purest form of PCM decoding....And so I understand from othe... | |
| We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses Hi @cleeds First, my apology as I meant to write "respectfully" instead of "respectively". No matter, you get the idea :)I think the changes that might result from reversing the orientation of a fuse would be a lot more subtle than discriminating ... | |
