| OMG. What now? Hierarchical thinking is getting in the way. Try looking at the hobby as one which includes variation. Instead of asking "What do I need to do to make my system better?" ask, "What might be a source of genuine variation within my system that mig... | |
| Can anyone tell me where the progress in audio went? +1 @jjss49 People in business must make profit to be in business. Marketing, advertising, and hype are part of the deal. There is engineering and design progress, also. Sorting out hype from genuine progress is the job of critics, both amateu... | |
| When a budget speaker is preferred to a high end one... +1 @blisshifi Concise, accurate, helpful answer. There are many expensive things I don't like. Why would speakers be an exception? | |
| Pass and electronic music I have a Pass XA25 and it does very well with the electronic stuff I've played. Very authoritative bottom end. It's muscular. | |
| PS Audio BHK 600 Who listens to jasonbourne52? He has clearly shown, again and again a proclivity for cheap shots in his posts -- e.g. "audiophool" -- I mean, what is that? A 7th grade level taunt. Is he a grown man? How embarrassing. | |
| Something on top of a speaker=okay? I have a 10lb weight on top of each of my speakers. Definitely makes a difference. | |
| Chord DAVE DAC @charles1dad In those circumstances where home auditioning isn’t feasible, I’ll take my chances with other humans who can offer hands (Ears) on feedback. @hilde45 if your past experiences are different, I understand. I totally agree with you.... | |

| Shouldn't This Sound Boomy? @erik_squires Misjudged the graph. Thanks. Re: The graphs are a waste of time, if you're happy with what you hear. This was true for me until I used the graphs to improve the response. Then, I was MORE pleased with what I heard. In other wor... | |
| Why do so many people have problems with bass? OP, have you heard a system and room with really good bass? If not, you might not know what you're missing. | |
| Two audio components no one really talks about OP, And by "no one" you mean "many people"? Happy to hear thoughts of yours on these topics, but do we really need more false, click-bait headlines in our media diet? | |
| Shouldn't This Sound Boomy? I don't see a really bad peak in the bass region. | |
| Has this happened to you? How can it be stopped? There are more destructive hobbies. I suggest you reflect about why you want to pursue this and if there are reasons beyond the adrenaline of chase or purchase that you just give into it. Develop routines in which you swap things in and out, liste... | |
| Chord DAVE DAC I want the DAC to be accurate. Just want to hear the music the way it was recorded. Not sure what this means. The music was recorded using specific mics, in a specific room using a specific Analog to digital device, then played back over specif... | |
| Chord DAVE DAC One thing I noticed about reactions to ASR -- Amir’s videos make a number of discrete claims and not all of them are false or spurious. But many simply dismiss his entire videos or his approach or him, as a person. But if some of his claims are tr... |
