| Stepping into streaming, finally I had the Node into an external DAC and upgraded the streamer. I cannot say the streamer alone made much of a difference in sound. For me, the differences always come back to the DAC. Streamers always fed with ethernet and the BluOS interface is v... | |
| Townshend platform under digital component or amplifier ? @lemonhaze Have you seen this video on adding Dynamat? | |
| OCD mickey website and negativity. My quick take on him: He's a smart guy, been in the industry a long time, and knows a lot. From what I've seen of his videos, he is often informative and helpful. The gear he carries seems like very good stuff. I don't know how his customer ser... | |
| Townshend platform under digital component or amplifier ? A local audiophile with Gaia pods, Townshend platforms, and other isolation tweaks has recently tried double yellow dot squash balls under some equipment with good effects. This is a much less expensive experiment than the platforms. Maybe too cru... | |
| Fritz Carbon 7 SE MKII @tjraubacher It was good to connect with you by phone about the Fritz speakers. Fritz has been making speakers for 50 years. I am pretty sure he works alone and yet he permits home trial on his speakers. He knows you have to judge for yourse... | |
| Volti does it again! Yeah: trolling badgerman. Because some DO DO IT and some don’t. Greg doesn’t want to. And as I said: it’s cool either way. But you’re insisting that it’s not reasonable to ask for such a policy. Which does exist. Thus, troll-ing. | |
| Need Guidance for Next/Last Pair of Speakers Are you in Texas or in driving distance to Dripping Springs? These are worth a look. https://tweekgeek.com/products/local-pickup-tweek-geek-bmf-loudspeaker-98db-powered-subs | |
| Do you trust your ears more than measurements? However in the end the ears have it. Of course. I measure how much salt I put into a recipe. Then I taste it. If needed, a bit more salt. If it tastes good, I write down how much salt went into the recipe for next time I make it. Measure... | |
| Volti does it again! I always get a kick out of the "return policy" guys. Seriously, don’t you make some effort to hear a product before jumping in? Do you always get a kick? Or are you trolling? Many of us DO make an effort to find others with the speakers we’re ... | |
| Do you trust your ears more than measurements? @benanders Perfect response to all caps shouting. | |
| Volti does it again! Thanks for the explanation @lucera Good enough for me and something which others also do. Wishing you great success! | |
| Do you trust your ears more than measurements? Sad this has to be asked. Those trading measurements for clicks are misleading many. False dichotomy. I use my ears, 100%... I have no idea how it measures. Sure sounds good, though. If you’re happy, you’re happy. That doesn’t mean it can’t... | |
| Absorbing traffic noise with Helmholtz resonators (video) @asvjerry A.I. did come to mind for me, too. Acoustics is inordinately complicated and the additional computational power already being deployed in headphones and other applications might be put to work in dealing with room noise. It would be fab... | |
| Cornwall iv @james633 Thanks. It doesn't seem complimentary of a speaker that one would have to use especially low power amps (SS or tube) to make it sound refined. I was just wondering. | |
| Cornwall iv @james633 I've heard that the Klipsch are popular with folks using lower powered tube amps. Do you think that some of the negatives you mentioned about the Forte go away with the right approach to power? Thanks. |
