| Volume Wars-- Are things improving, getting worse, or status quo? I believe compression started off as product of the loudness wars, I’m not saying this justifies using compression, but these are the pathetic good point of it.It’s better in cars as the road/engine noise won’t drowned out the quieter passages,... | |
| Volume Wars-- Are things improving, getting worse, or status quo? The Loudness Wars are still raging but you can find exceptions. The Steven Wilson Remixes of some of the big prog-rockers (ELP, Yes, King Crimson, Jethro Tull) are considered to be tastefully done with good dynamic range. Yes these are sadly bu... | |
| Inflated prices in audio I am developing a special "air" which transmits sound better than the usual air. Too late mate!!! that’s what SR uses inside their $170usd voodoo fuses!!!! Cause companies aren’t selling as much so making it up with increased prices. And some ar... | |
| Why no “Break in” period? "expectation bias"One of the best statements to be said with new gear, and Ralph (Atmasphere) as far as I know was the first to use it here on Audiogon forums. | |
| Why no “Break in” period? Because a lot of stuff really does sound so good you notice immediately That's called "expectation bias", and it's a beaut smoke screen, even for something you won't like in a day or so.Cheers George | |
| Pass Labs and Fuses My apologies George.I wrongly assumed there would be no mains voltage involved in a passive device.Thank you for enlightening me. Common mistake, if you can read a circuit diagram, you’ll see that the signal (green) from input to output of each c... | |
| 3D imaging rocray OP What makes speakers produce a 3D image? I figured the first thing is the recording itself. I’m guessing mic placement has a lot to do with this. Next I would imagine is room,and speaker placement. The last one is the biggie, you should h... | |
| Pass Labs and Fuses Hence no fuses as no mains ac is used. Wrong again, do your homework, yes it’s passive, yes it’s mains powered or can even be battery powered. | |
| Pass Labs and Fuses I rang them to confirm fuse size they were extremely enthusiastic about both aftermarket fuses and wooden blocks underneath the amp. If the fuse made the kind of differences you guys say they do here, they would be in the Ayre EX 8 from the ... | |
| Pass Labs and Fuses Sorry george I thought you actually sold audio products. Sorry, I didn’t say I didn’t, read again, I don’t have fuses in the Lightspeed Attenuator, (and if I did re my last post) Cheers George | |
| Koetsu black, lacking bass dpoud OP Koetsu black, lacking bass, does anyone know if the black cart is light in the bass? They were never bass light, as they were even better than the Supex SD900/1000 in the bass, and they were considered to be bass masters and almost up... | |
| Pass Labs and Fuses George,Do you know if anyone has tried an SR fuse in one of your products? It would be interesting to hear if it made an improvement to the sound quality. You obliviously don’t know that there is no mains fuse, the only AC mains fuse is the one i... | |
| Pass Labs and Fuses Na just put your BS hat on, but don’t forget 100hr burn-in, as AC mains is not alternating, "so these fusers think", and then for an even bigger laugh they turn the fuse around and swear it’s better one way than the other.What a crock of **** , ma... | |
| Inflated prices in audio Can the "fusers" stop stalking members. | |
| Pass Labs and Fuses Your negative cynicism is not helping the thread at all. Really!! ya think! They are totally positive to being correct, just negative to fuser snake oil voodooism. |
