| Is More Better? Unless you’re setup is in an aircraft hanger, that’s crazy overkill, but you do you. This too-clever-by-half comment is not that clever. It reflects a misunderstanding of why multiple subs are helpful. It’s about the room’s acoustics. It depend... | |
| Let's talk music, no genre boundaries I love music that calls out fascism and injustice. | |
| Adcom Amp Owners Rejoice! I was able to fix my 535L in this way, but without the fuse-puller. | |
| Low powered integrated recommendation If price is not an issue, then how about Audio Note? Ask @ghasley about them. Or @decooney https://dejavu-audio.com/audio-note-integrated-amplifiers.html | |
| Fritz carbon 7SE MK 2, Upgrade OP, you may be questing for the speaker version of a new love, but I will tell you this about these speakers: they got even better when I put them and their stands on a townshend podium. More coherent imaging, tighter bass, a bit more detail, micr... | |
| Do some DACs "handle" sibilance better than others? OP, My main observation is just that sibilance is likely influenced by much greater factors than a DAC. It’s understandable why Hans B.’s comment caught your attention, as most reviewers don’t typically link DACs directly to sibilance. My point i... | |
| Do some DACs "handle" sibilance better than others? Marketing gets into every nook and cranny. I think people need all kinds of ways to review and promote DAC’s. My understanding is that a DAC might subtly influence the perception of sibilance, but it’s primarily an issue rooted in the recording ... | |

As I understand it, the process of psychological accommodation plays a role in transforming the raw sound of an audio system into the experience of music. Our cognitive processes start with bottom-up processing (we detect pitch, loudness, timbre, ... | |

| Is it possible to really know what you're doing? Finding balance and perspective can hard for people who have the discretionary time and money for audio. Sometimes when I find myself obsessing over audio, I look at other parts of my life and the world and suspect that I could be doing other thi... | |
| Need good quality speaker binding posts for Dynaco ST-70 I used some Cardas posts on a rebuild of an ST-35 https://www.cardas.com/binding-posts | |
| MacArthur Park @dekay Good version. Like it a lot! Another song I really have been into lately is Ohio by CSNY. Throw in some Peter Paul and Mary, Phil Ochs, Pete Seeger, and you have the songs of my early childhood -- all on vinyl, natch. | |
| Footers under new speakers @buellrider97 DELIGHTED to hear this. I'm really impressed by your meticulous testing and by the customer service. Well done! I have tried the platforms with every speaker I've owned. When the weight was right, I even put bookshelves-on-stands o... | |
| Concentration @hilde45 what do you think of my observation of the difference between classical music listening and other types of music regarding this dichotomy? I assume you mean this: As I’ve said, those who listen to classical music generally have to ... | |
| Has anyone had problems getting their money refunded by The Music Room? Best we can do is speculate. Resolving requires @tubes21 (the only with the authority) to contact both TMR and his bank to clear up the payment processing problem. Otherwise maybe work out another method of receiving payment.
