| It's European invasion The dude who was head of NASA’s rocket program and who designed the "heavy lifters" used to go to the moon used to be a Nazi. And that's why there's a big old Nazi V1 rocket standing right next to all the other rockets in the Air and Space Museum.... | |
| Subwoofer failings and their use-related reasons Not all recordings are filtered. The sub is for the ones that aren't. you don't know what you're missing until you hear it finally. I listened to a big high-power Class A tube system recently that employed a 50 (count em) cubic feet subwoofer. Not... | |
| It's European invasion Gosh, you're smart. 😳 | |
| It's European invasion Close but no cigar. The US team that won the physics prize this year achieved the goal of detecting gravity waves last year. Hel-loo! You don't get a prize for good intentions. | |
| It's European invasion Well, let’s see. Who won the Nobel Prize for physics last month? Oh, yeah, I almost forgot. It was the US. Guess who won in 2016. Three guesses, the first two don't count. | |
| It's European invasion Our calculations, our topologies, our quantum mechanics, our price structures! OHhhhhhhh! Where did we go wrong? 😥 | |
| Are future improvements in Amp/PreAmps slowing to a crawl? High power all tube Class A amplifier. In case it's not clear translates to a HUGE amplifier. | |
| Another soundstage question I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. The only way to find the *absolute* best locations for the speakers so as to get the very best soundstage - all things being equal - is to use the out of phase track on the XLO Test CD. When the sound on ... | |
| Audio Desk Systeme CD lathe Sound Improver If memory serves the Audio Deske CD trimmer comes with a black marker for painting the outer edge of the trimmed CD and possibly the inner edge as well. In any case, the color black should be reserved for the inner edge only. For the outer edge ca... | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? Geez, now you tell us! 756 posts later. | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? That’s right, shoot the messenger, not the message. Heaven forbid we could have a real debate on the topic. What we have here is failure to communicate and a bad sense huma to boot. 👢 | |
| LP's... Do they sound better now than 30 yrs ago? I can certainly understand someone might enjoy the loudness of overly compressed LPs or the solid state electronics the industry wisely went to in the 70s and ditched all that finicky tube electronics stuff and tube tape machines. 😛 | |
| What exactly is colored sound? Overly aggressive dynamic range compression. Colors the sound? You decide. | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? cd318How about a little bit of perspective?If there is a difference it is minuscule in comparison with those found in loudspeakers, recordings, rooms etc.>>>>Sorry, that’s an old wives tale. Oft used by newcomers and naysayers.Some cab... | |
