| Help fine-tune my speaker search @nymarty I hear you about GR Research, but there are some elements of his demonstration -- about parts quality, e.g. -- which would be solid data points regardless of what his overall objective is with his videos. That, for me, is the key to mode... | |
| Beginner improvements for room acoustics; very helpful Darko video on reverb and RT60 @nymarty I have 703 OC panels affixed on the ceilings, pointing diagonally toward my chair in exactly the area where the ceiling first reflection occurs. | |
| B.S. Node 2i brick (yet another one) I have a BS Node 2i running continuously since February 2020 with zero problems. | |
| What are some of the mistakes, failures or bad purchases of your audio history? Buying expensive speaker stands before I knew -- for sure -- I'd not be upgrading the speakers. I think it was a way of affirming my speaker purchase, but it was short-sighted and I regret it. | |
| Opinions on speaker upgrade choices I have the Ascends and a Pass XA25. I'd be curious about these: https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/649880692-spatial-audio-x5-speakers/ | |
| tube pre & ss amp integrated I know some have really liked the hybrids from Vincent. FWIW. | |
| Help fine-tune my speaker search @bruce19 However I see you moved on to Salks and now Ascend Sierra Towers. I assume that means you found each to be superior to the Fritzes. Interested in hearing your current thoughts. I had ordered the Salks. They took 7 months to build (Co... | |
| The thing about objectivists is... The clock says that is is 9am....But a clock is quite objective and has no opinion about what time it is. Clock designed by human beings. They made up the numbers on it. Birds have no numbers, no clocks. Is it 9am for the birds? | |
| The thing about objectivists is... Everyone has their own perception through which they view the discussion. Is that just your perception? Or is it a truth which is universal and beyond perception? If the latter, how did you get beyond perception and how can you be sure? | |
| Help fine-tune my speaker search @nymarty I’ve never heard any of the 3 you mentioned but have read good reviews of Fritz. What did you like about the Fritz vs the Special 40s? Below are links to a couple of reviews I did. In sum, what I liked was the ease with which the Fri... | |
| The thing about objectivists is... @djones51 We know what time it is by the way we have decided to slice the Earth's rotation. Exactly. Convention and consensus. We agree on what "bright" means in listening and we agree what a "minute" is in measurement. We stick to these norm... | |
| Help fine-tune my speaker search I've auditioned Fritz and Special 40s and I'd go with Fritz: https://www.fritzspeakers.com/sound.asp Eminent looks very interesting: http://eminent-tech.com/LFT8.html I am totally happy with my Ascend Acoustics Sierra with Raal tweeter for my t... | |
| The Ventriloquism of Keith Jarrett @jjss49 You took the exact words out of my mouth. I'll tell you who's worse that Jarrett, and that's the pianist Masabumi Kikuchi, RIP. What a wonderful player, but my god, he mouth was at odds with what his fingers were doing on the piano. Check... | |
| The thing about objectivists is... Interesting to see folks working with these ideas. As with other terms, "subjective" and "objective" are words which do different work depending on context. If I say, "These speakers sound good to me, subjectively" that is an objective statement ... | |
| The thing about objectivists is... A thing’s reality is not the same as its description. Is that fundamental truth something you came up with subjectively? If not, then how can you check that it's true -- with a non-subjective source? Here's a nice 3 minute clip of a very tal... |
