| The character of analog and digital Very recent purchases of Audio Technica ART9XA, Korf ceramic headshell, Boston Audio Mat2, Zavfino Gold Rush phono cable and Thoress Phono Enhancer phono pre will hopefully bring my analog up to digital sound quality. @sns How is the Korf heads... | |
| Pleasurably better, not measurably better Ok - I generally agree that one should get what they like. But if we want the reproduction to still sound like the singer, then we generally want something that is not distorted to hell n back. Then again I have heard some speakers with a lot of ... | |
| Nearly all manufacturers do not advertise/exhibit their product measurements? Why? I searched the Revel speaker site for measurements of any of their speakers and could not find any. Revels are universally lauded for their exceptional reviewed measurements. Lack of published manufacturer measurements is true for nearly every sp... | |
| Pleasurably better, not measurably better @curtdr If we have someone singing, there is only one singer. Whether one person is there watching or a thousand, it is still only one singer. And it does not matter what every member of the audience is hearing, and what their ears measure at the ... | |
| Ohio - Over the Rhine @ghdprentice You might also like some of Phil Ochs songs. | |
| To couple, or not to couple, that is the question Sound like the DACs need a stuxnet booster? | |
| Snake oil of the year? Nope. Snake oil of the century is 6 feet of mains cable costing $5k that does nothing that a 20amp stock cable can’t do. @clearthinker And another $5k box to hook the grounds up to? I might start a company and call it “hallowed ground.” | |
| Snake oil of the year? better grounding, or cleaner grounds can fix a lot of the impression of ’grunge’ in some digital based audio systems. Not always, but it can happen. same for purely analog systems. the ground and it’s qualities can be and is important. This c... | |
| Room correction room system vs ears…. Maybe consider something like a TDAI 3400 or 1120 amp, which comes with a microphone and tunes itself up. And there are probably cheaper options from NAD and others. … going slow is often wise. | |
| Snake oil of the year? have you tried one? if not just go away If the only people that purchase them are those that believe that it will work, then we have a skewed population. And that population would likely believe that they help in a sighted test. Much the same... | |
| Room correction room system vs ears…. im wondering if I simply messed around and found the sweet spot without a room correction system how much of a difference this would make. I’m far from savvy with audio and try to keep things simple for my simple brain, so, on a scale of 1-10 how... | |
| Nearly all manufacturers do not advertise/exhibit their product measurements? Why? … However, after listening to multiple cables of the same make, I rarely heard any difference. …. #metoo 😎 | |
| Room correction room system vs ears…. holmz , I assumed that rear ports were for low frequency but just found in my room the high frequencies sounded flat when I had the an absorption panel right behind the speaker @kota1 - I still do not understand what you mean? What do you mean... | |
| Room correction room system vs ears…. soix , good question. Those front L-C-R speakers are ported and when I tried placing panels behind them it absorbed too much high frequency info and sounded flat. I always assumed that rear ports were not carrying a lot of high frequency content. | |
| XLR to RCA plugs or cable @lohanimal ask if pin 1 and 3 are being connected to the RCA shell, or just pin 3 please. |
