| Here's to the temperate, the gentle, the moderates in audio Nice additions. One thing I especially like about some channels (E.g., A British Audiophile, Hans Beekhuyzen) is that they always open the hood and can discuss what is happening in the design and parts. I come away with a better understanding of ... | |
| Here's to the temperate, the gentle, the moderates in audio Thanks for the additional suggestions. And for the pleasant remarks. Some of us read French and we understand who needs to be banned from the site. In the meantime, have a pleasant weekend! | |
| Here's to the temperate, the gentle, the moderates in audio Notice how the trolls just can't help themselves. No one invited neworleansjazz and he/she/it are attempting to re-ignite negativities. Begone, troll. You're not respected nor wanted. Go yell at a cloud. | |
| Volume levels This thread is helping me understand the stakes. IF we are comparing good, non-compressed recordings only, then the advantages of digital over vinyl are substantial. IF we are looking instead at recordings subjected to the "loudness wars and co... | |
| Here's to the temperate, the gentle, the moderates in audio I like Jay's Iyagi, Thomas and Stereo, New Record Day and more. There is a range of different styles. Some are more promotional, others are more objective (Hans, Tarun), but they all realize that a soft touch is more respectful and, ultimately, i... | |
| Volume levels @cleeds Thank you for correcting the false information. There is a lot out there. E.g., Paul McGowan: "Live music typically has a dynamic range of 120 dB, peaking at about the same loudness of a jet engine (though some concerts have gone even loud... | |
| Room Treatment suppliers @erik_squires I have a room with a very low ceiling; I could not get bass to even out. Here’s what I did: I went around the room with low-band pink noise playing and, using a db meter, I measured all the places that I was getting very high rea... | |
| Floorstanding speaker experiences/recommendations in the $12-25k range I was pretty impressed by Apertura Edena speakers. https://www.6moons.com/audioreviews2/apertura/1.html | |
| Volume levels LPs often have wider dynamic range than digital sources ??? "Vinyl records have a typical dynamic range of around 70 dB, depending on the equipment used to record the audio and cut the record. CDs have a typical dynamic range of 90 to 93 dB... | |
| Audio Research SP15 If you go here https://www.hifishark.com/model/audio-research-sp-15 and click the Sold/Expired tab, you can see other sales to get a sense of whether this one is in the ballpark. | |
| Room Treatment suppliers The bass traps I got from Real Traps worked much, much better than what I had from GIK or ATS. @ethan_winer | |
| Fritz Carbon 7 SE MKII I have done two reviews of the Carbon 7: Written -- https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/review-fritz-heiler-s-carbon-7-se-mk-2-bookshelf-speakers? Video -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LpI6eAvc4_M I had the speakers for about 6 months. I c... | |
| I Don't Understand What Determines When A Thread Gets The Axe My theory is that they're understaffed and so nearly any objection just gets the thread removed. Problem solved, as far as they're concerned. | |
| Smaller plug-in AC Purifiers -- Shunyata, iFi, Puron...something else? What do you like? @rsf507 Not there anymore. $400 is a lot for a plug-in, in my opinion, especially when I'm seeing people say (about these and others) that multiple plugs are better. That adds up quickly. To each his own, of course. | |
