| component grounding Yet search as I may, I can't find one situation where someone was killed or seriously injured from an ungrounded piece of audio equipment. None of them are around to give their testimony anymore. (They are all wearing halos now 😇) | |
| Making speakers sound tonally similar with an equalizer @gosta For good results of course you should use a good speaker. Not much point in trying to make a bad speaker sound good. Arguably ^that^ is not 100% true. One can use cheaper drivers and use DSP to shape the bandpass to avoid resonance... | |
| XLR question for bass Thanks again for all the great feedback and suggestions. I reached out to HD Axoustics as I think I'd be better served having a professional guide me. In the long run, I may spend less money with better results. If I try scattershot implemen... | |
| Is Rap a valid musical form? @holmz - No seriously, in the earlier days, the band got so tired of everybody equating ’Blondie’ with Debbie that they made up buttons saying ’Blondie Is A Group’.... When the lead singer is a stunner, it is hard to see that there is a group… ... | |
| The worst sentence in audio writing The reviews are more often than not similar to a horoscope, where we can read into them what we want. | |
| XLR question for bass Moving the subs around will offer the best solution, assuming that there is no veto vote. A DSP is another solution with or without #1 The isolators can work. The XLRs are about the last thing that has a chance of being noticed. So I wou... | |
| Making speakers sound tonally similar with an equalizer @jaferd Isn't a flat response curve what a speaker designer is striving for for most accurate reproduction? Yeah generally they are concerned mostly with frequency response. However there is the time domain performance. And how it perform... | |
| Is Rap a valid musical form? @simonmoon maybe try the group Tool? | |

| Class D Purifi Eigentakt / Mark Levinson 333 / Benchmark AHB2 - Listening & Conclusion 5. There needs to additional scientific measurements that can explain why the benchmark AHB2 sounds better than Purifi Eigentakt in my environment and why the Levinson sounds more dynamic and detailed on loud classical music. Traditional SINAD,... | |
| RIP Meat Loaf It doesn’t matter what he died of. What matters is he died, and that is sad for some. When someone like John Prine dies of Covid with an already compromised immune system it is tragic. When a stanch anti-vaxxer dies of Covid, it is harder for... | |
| Quantum Science Audio Thread @glory ah… Holmz, Have you dropped $900.00 on a cable? This fuse can be a bigger upgrade. No I have not dropped $900 on a cable. I dropped about half of that on an entire spool of cable(s) and connectors though. @jerryg123 maybe show... | |
| RIP Meat Loaf @roxy54 “a bit less than kind” might be understating it a touch? @fuzztone ML wanted to take a public stance on the virus and vaccine. So I guess people can latch onto that. I usually do not go to a singer or actor for medical advice, but p... | |
| How Big of a Difference? I have near completed upgrading my system, but have left my speaker wire the same. My system is as follows- Laptop (Tidal) > Schiit Gumby Multibit > Freya S > Vidar monoblocks > speakers. My usb cable is Supra usb, and I am using xlr ... | |
| What makes the biggest difference in sound quality? @borat-sagdiyev None of those things. Better amps and preamps are where you go next, or room treatment, Dirac live, etc. It is a bit of leading question, as the OP has a company that sells the fuses and the power cords. But I agree with t... |
