| Some people actively participate but rarely if ever start a thread. Most of my questions can be answered via the search function. Bless you. There's so much here already. I've argued it should be organized into some kind of archive but that won't make any money... I've found that threads I've started that ask... | |
| The Insane World of High End Audio! Is it All a Scam? It seems nothing will change... Like a bull blind by rage seeing a red cap and going against it... My point was not driving people against or for one any reviewer... my point was that the "scamming" process in audio result from our own ignorance ... | |
| Vinyl sounds better (shots fired) For those who think it sounds better -- better enough to prefer it over streaming most of the time? Some of the time? Curious to hear the degree to which vinyl displaces other media. | |
| a rant Well, the thing about a hobby is generally they are active. You can't just sit still if it's going to be a hobby...thus the need to churn equipment even if one already loves the sound. This is a good point. Hobbies are active. But what do YO... | |
| Room Treatment @lalitk It's hard to get clear on this for a lot of folks. If you go to Acoustimac's website, it aligns "acoustic panel" with absorption. If you go to GIK, the first things displayed are diffusers but they also have absorption on the page. Viz. h... | |
| The Insane World of High End Audio! Is it All a Scam? Well said i agree with your common sense yes... But my point in this thread as a motive, is that all reviewers, of high end gear or low cost one, minimize or put acoustics knowledge under the rug... They must sell first, then they must inform a... | |
| Room Treatment +1 winoguy -- "acoustic panel" is not specific about whether it diffuses or absorbs. | |
| Some people actively participate but rarely if ever start a thread. When I really ramped up this hobby in 2019 or so, I started many threads, most of them trying to get at questions for which easy information would be hard to find -- for example, "Is there something special about low efficiency speakers and higher... | |
| The Insane World of High End Audio! Is it All a Scam? I’ll put my point more positively: Sometimes we benefit from reviewers who translate their experience into tools, techniques, and vocabulary which can help someone who also plans to learn and then listen and experiment for themselves. We are in ... | |
| The Insane World of High End Audio! Is it All a Scam? Yes, the audiophile market thrives on widespread audio and acoustic ignorance, and true progress requires self-education through direct acoustic experiments, not solely relying on reviewers. But the idea that we don’t benefit from reviewers is n... | |
| The Insane World of High End Audio! Is it All a Scam? I'm glad to see someone on YouTube finally gathered the courage to critique high end audio. Those fat cats have put one over on us proles for way too long. | |
| a rant This is me -- with food. After 30 years of being so enamored with restaurants - I am happy to just eat food. I’ve stopped looking for better food. Whenever i have bought new brands or kinds of food it never tasted as good as people were telling m... | |
| Send in the Clowns @jaybe +1 -- basically the forum’s equivalent of "Old Man Yells at Cloud" | |
| Potential relief for tinnitus? Thanks for this. I would like something to take away my buzz. ;-) | |
| Send in the Clowns Subjective listening descriptions are critical, but most people offer them without a lot of relevant details (room acoustics, associated equipment, source quality, etc.). Including those variables makes it possible for others to gauge whether a re... |
