| Critical listening and altered states @newton_john I've not had much chance. Skimming a bit, I'm very curious in the idea that listening to music while doing other things doesn't necessarily equate to superficial engagement. The notion of "multiply distributed attention" leading to in... | |
| Unusual countries for audio gear Cyprus, Serbia, Slovenia, Bulgaria, Romania, Lithuania — very interesting. I'm curious about this question in part bc countries/companies that offer high value for lower cost might come from these countries as they try to break into the market. | |
| Unusual countries for audio gear @gano I cannot understand your point. Restate it, please? Norway-- far north. Has audio. Greece, much further south, different climate. China in the east, UK in the west. Etc. So you are saying...? | |
| Unusual countries for audio gear Of those so far, the unusual ones to me are Estonia, Hungary, Spain, Israel, and Greece. The others are more well known. (I forgot about Hegel!) [Kofibaffour, you're mentioning easy, well-known ones. Perhaps a thread for that can pop up somewhere... | |
| How much power needed to drive 91db speakers? Saying "91db" etc. is a bit vague. Take a look at this for a bit more detail: https://www.audioholics.com/loudspeaker-design/understanding-impedance-electrical-phase The Fritz Carbon 7 speakers are 88 db if memory serves but because of the natur... | |

While it's true that many Delta-Sigma DAC chips employ oversampling and digital filters, the implementation and quality of th... | |
| Integrated amp under $5k So – this is NOT an integrated amp, but in case their same technology is in their integrated amps... I’m curious about this because it’s a brand most audiophiles would think are mid-fi. But sometimes there are hi-fi products which just defy the m... | |
| Do most people prefer tight bass or non tight bass? This sounds like a question for Dr. Freud. | |
| List my home theater Good question. I have some Klipsch RP series (mains, center, sub) that I'm trying to sell. | |
| What do you do when the music’s not speaking to you? Take a day off | |
| ~$3-5k speakers for moderate volume listening: Spendor A4, Fyne 501SP, Focal Aria X no. 2? I would go with Fritz. | |
| B&W 802D1 - How can I tame the brightness? Tekton Double Impact loudspeakers will blow your musical mind - and leave you with lots of cash to put towards high quality sources. Because the solution to too-much-brightness is more-brightness. | |
| Critical listening and altered states Huh. I always thought THC was a mild hallucinogen. "Cannabis has been historically classified as a hallucinogen. However, subjective cannabis effects do not typically include hallucinogen-like effects." https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5... | |
| Denny Dias I wasn’t expecting starting this thread to unleash such a flood of armchair psychology. "Unleash"? "Flood"? Come on. We have a couple comments about how he came across. Check your pants for the flood. ;-) |
