| Suggestions for new earbuds or similar I've been using Soundcore, a model around $45. They connect consistently, are comfortable, have good battery life, and work well with my Android phone. In my view, spending money on wireless earbuds is about basic durability and usability, not on ... | |
| Rank the tweaks, geeks! @artemusGreat tweaks — perhaps a sub-topic: best *cheap* tweaks!@earlflynn "Search bar." Er, good one. I'm not asking to look something up, I'm asking people to report out their experiences. This is a *discussion* forum and I'm starting a *discuss... | |
| Rank the tweaks, geeks! @ebm If you can take a few minutes to write blather, you can take a bit more time to contribute something you know of substance. Then again there's the usual option: take zero time and just skip the thread. Oh, yes -- have a nice day. | |
| Noise floors I love this post! I had a great conversation with a member of the Colorado Audio Society about noise pollution. It really is something that he, an engineer and audiophile, believes is something which is as much a collective problem as one we can i... | |
| Rank the tweaks, geeks! @oregonpapa How would you rank the general importance of the following gear (not room or electrical) tweaks.I was wondering about rankings *besides* room and electrical, but thanks for your contribution. All makes sense.@ebm Another peek inside an... | |
| Parasound Hint 6 or separates? @geof Hint 6 vs those Hegels you mentioned is a comparison between very different product tiers and prices. Not quite fair to Parasound. | |
| Dedicated lines — how many? Other advice? @nickaboy1 Thanks for your reply.@grillo451 Not quite following your reply. Too much like code. | |
| Used Martin Logans There's a lot of PS Audio gear out there, too. I think both manufacturers make a lot of gear relative to some others, but both have good reputations. | |
| Tone of Shindo If by "correct" you mean "that I like and think is good based on commonsense criteria," then, of course. If you mean correct in any other sense, I have no idea what you're talking about.What a question. | |
| Speaker Cables? why all the hype for expensive speaker wire? @jjss49 Can the ABX comparator be used to compare girlfriends/boyfriends for longtime placement in the rig that is our life? Because $$'s saved on divorces can buy some pretty nice gear. (Seriously: how good a rig could one buy for the cost, overa... | |
| Fear of volume control I had the same experience the other day. It didn't just sound better because it was louder -- a familiar phenomenon. It evened out the frequencies -- more balance, more "biff", more soundstage. There are those who talk of less, and to them all I c... | |
| Speaker Cables? why all the hype for expensive speaker wire? The experience of hearing a difference between cables is exactly the kind of event which requires scientific experimentation. Saying that an observation, or repeated observations, are "not scientific" does not erase the experience. Indeed, using "... | |
| Considerations prior to your next purchase @millercarbon I heard a couple of Hans Beekhuyzen youtube videos recently where he discussed hearing at older ages. He affirms the point about older hearing being better in many ways because hearing is not just the physical reception of physical ... | |
| Lay Off the Newbies! @amg Audiogon search engine is good, but the hard part is knowing how to a search phrase that is accurate enough and also doesn't return too many results. My ability to utilize the search engine only increased as I knew what to search for. That pr... | |
| CDP or DAC? I have the Cambridge CXC and like it a lot. The remote is not great but you can find a substitute. In your budget range and preferences, I would suggest an Audio Tubadour: https://www.audiomirror.com/product-page/tubadour-iii-se-nonoversampling-tu... |
