| Shipping costs- WTF My first education with shipping was similar. I found the pricing for boxes and bubble wrap ludicrous. One of the attractions of the shipper I chose was a local drop off. Turns out only the main shipping offices were the only place one could pr... | |
| How remove odor from interconnect? The most practical solution is to move your gear outside for the summer | |
| How long should high quality speakers last? @asvjerry LOL My DCM Time Frame 2000s date to around 1987 or so. I have owned them for seven years and the still sound crazy good to me. Given the relative rarity of the pair I am reluctant to do much work. It is also the complexity of the des... | |
| Potential relief for tinnitus? @cooperdude6 Sorry to double post but did your hearings help? | |
| Potential relief for tinnitus? I am starting to buy into the brain compensating for a loss of input. It would explain why mine has persisted for decades. I have had the benefit (?) of annual baseline OSHA hearing tests since the incident until recently. The damaged left ear ... | |
| A life sentence!!! My DCM Time Frame 2000 sn 446/447. After seven wonderful years the pair never fail to amaze and satisfy me. When I die put us all in a pile and throw a match ;) | |
| Is the "improvement" real or imnagined? I recall reading years ago how our bodies shape our perception of sound. Something about the chest forming a notch filter around 1500 hz and other examples. Is Grandpa slipping? I can't seem to find the right question to confirm online. | |
| I'm curious. What is your "normal" listening volume? Posting pic a is always weird sorry | |
| I'm curious. What is your "normal" listening volume? | |
| I'm curious. What is your "normal" listening volume? I start with loud enough to overcome the psychoacoustic masking of my LOUD (easily at the perceived level of background conversation) tinnitus in the left brain. Insert LOL/ tears emoji. After that: music, mood are all in play. Some music Must... | |
| Some people actively participate but rarely if ever start a thread. I don’t mind posting a specific thread topic but I am well aware one can go so far south the penguins listening wonder what is wrong. Case in point. I have a current thread on advice on how to set up outside for a store anniversary and asked for ... | |
| Potential relief for tinnitus? @dynacohum LOL There's no such thing as a free lunch, or TANSTAFL from Heinleins masterpiece "The Moon is a harsh mistress". Most people on "hear" have more audio gear but I will claim to be one of the top sufferers of tinnitus. As there no re... | |
| Do you prefer tall speakers @audiokinesis Hi no you are correct but even having a woofer at the top of the array seems to add even further to the tall soundstage. Wave guide tweeter on 2000s 42" up. Until I put the VRs on stands it is probably not a fair comparison. S... | |
| What happened to the Innous discussion @randymaqp Hi. I have decades of instrumentation experience. Some 0.5 PPB analyzers I have worked with use a temperature controlled optical bench to ensure a 235.7 angstrom wavelength. Very precise and needs nothing like days to come to stabi... | |
| Is there any such thing as a bad sounding DAC these days? @chervokas Absolutely fascinating!! Any penny that bright can get thrown on the tracks can't happen often enough. Do you mind sharing your background to have that knowledge? |
