| Audio reviews: too many analogies, never simple, but most of all, never clear. +1!I draw the line at reviews of speakers with no mention of amp used or characteristics of the listening room. Reviewing parts of systems without context is useless and tells me this person’s opinion is not well founded. Otherwise to each his... | |
| Are manufacturer AC cables good enough? Don't be silly. Real scientists actually conduct their own tests. They don't dismiss every listener's casual account with a wave of the hand while muttering about the lack scientific control yet making no effort to conduct their own inquiry, to... | |
| Why do you think Bi-Wiring improves the sound ? I don't know the exact model, but for the progression, it is one of the rare times I would agree with Paul McGowan, as it is the same story I have heard from truly old-time audiophiles (my dad included) and matched the stories I read. First DIY, w... | |
| Soundstage Width and Depth Duke,w.r.t. your sensation of height with that speaker set, been thinking about it more. I still feel there was the potential for frequency filtering (and possibly reflection/sheltering) due to the microphone pattern and position, and this could h... | |
| Are manufacturer AC cables good enough? Unfortunately cd318, someone felt the need to prove that some will never reach that conclusion or even consider that they are wrong.No matter which way you wish to go, no matter how little you may yet know of audio playback, or of human psycholog... | |
| Why do you think Bi-Wiring improves the sound ? The whole reason speakers started to have 2 sets of terminals was not for bi-wiring, but for bi-amping. Current starvation in the output devices, increased IM in the output stage from non-linear effects at higher currents, and IM from modulation o... | |
| What would you do if items from Ebay had beenlost? You can buy cheap WiFi cameras on Amazon for $50. Get the ones that take a 64GB card. That will get you several days of recording. Never had to send the video to someone, but when you tell couriers, vendors that you have security cameras that clea... | |
| Are manufacturer AC cables good enough? djones,I was directing my comment to geoffkait who makes excuses for not doing testing. Blind testing/comparative testing of speakers, is not easy if you want great results. Dr. Toole's goal in those tests were to minimize the time between speaker... | |
| Are manufacturer AC cables good enough? I have to suspect that anyone claiming "you can't control audio tests easily" has likely never set up an "audio test". Triple blind is the holy grail, double blind works really well when you have an expectation of tester bias. Single blind is suff... | |
| Why do you think Bi-Wiring improves the sound ? Truly good engineers are quite rare. Poor ones create "reports" like this one linked.I will paste the link again for this thread so it is easier to find than go back and try to figure out which one it is:https://www.qacoustics.co.uk/blog/2016/06/0... | |
| If you listen to anything other than Classic Jazz, don't read this. Your choice of music should not impact speaker choice beyond bass capability.You didn't mention room acoustics. Changing speakers without addressing acoustics gets you not very far. | |
| Why do you think Bi-Wiring improves the sound ? Historically this was never provided for bi-wiring, it was provided for Bi-Amping to reduce IM distortion and/or tailor amps to frequency range.Some consumers (and importantly also reviewers) seem to believe that it does, and prefer to buy loudsp... | |
| Why do you think Bi-Wiring improves the sound ? Considering that the feedback changes the effect of this resistor and makes it approach 0 .... 05-03-2020 4:50pm Hint, is the emitter resistor in the feedback or not? Irrelevant in the models which show that changing 1 parameter affects response. | |
| What is the average dealer mark up? I think we need a moratorium on this tired joke :-)There’s an old joke in high end audio that asks how do you make a million dollars in high end audio, you start with 2 million dollars. | |
| Why do you think Bi-Wiring improves the sound ? Funny, I feel the same about people who link to their blogs to appear erudite but then make fundamental errors or overly simplified generalizations that result in the wrong conclusion most of the time ... Hint, is the emitter resistor in the feedb... |
