| What is wrong with audiophiles? I think you may forever be struggling with the "what's wrong with audiophiles" question as long as you may be reluctant to just kind of chill and go back and look at the underlying psych (or is it just human nature) of what non-audiophiles maybe a... | |
| CD sound quality: original pressings vs regular remaster vs MFSL, etc I suspect what the mastering/remastering issue comes down to is not so much a technical decision as it is a business decision. Like the way Rhino seems to treat the Stevie Nicks catalog, for example. Lots of earlier issues of SN or Fleetwood Mac b... | |
| CD sound quality: original pressings vs regular remaster vs MFSL, etc I like both Blue-spec and MoFi ok, as a rule. I tried comparing the Blue-spec and Mofi versions of Billy Joel's Turnstiles CD.The Blue-spec was Wayy open sounding...like way more than most. The vocals sounded ok, but not like the original vinyl ba... | |
| Go Active Crossover or Upgrade existing XOs? To the OP, it's a complicated question with no single, clear answer as you can tell from the replies. I happen to prefer digital active (since I like the experimenting) provided you can fall back on some kind of power treatment to ward off any dig... | |
| First order/Time Phase-Coherent speakers discussions Look, I'm not out to dog you to hell and back. I'm not asking you to change your style or anything...just try to be just a Little more respectful of everyone else's point of view...maybe even if you don't entirely agree...maybe offer a civil but r... | |
| First order/Time Phase-Coherent speakers discussions The way you treated me I could expect, my problem was with the way you treated everyone else here.Like about everyone else in this thread before me has figured out and gone (where are they now), you're long on making a splash and short on contribu... | |
| First order/Time Phase-Coherent speakers discussions Well, I suppose I'm tired already of the ramblings of an 'educated' man who can't think his way back down to earth long enough to answer his own question...ya got me there I guess. My hat's off to you, if you can fly as high on yourself as you cla... | |
| First order/Time Phase-Coherent speakers discussions "You can’t be so desperate, can you? Are you saying "stupidity" is what you’re waiting to save you?"Uhh...No. That refers to your wanting to berate or challenge anyone who is not answering your questions, particularly the unanswerable (what does i... | |
| First order/Time Phase-Coherent speakers discussions @andy2 looks so far like you’ve come to this thread demanding some answers (you keep flailing away at the one practical-based q[what does it sound like?]). It’s one thing to want answers, everybody in this forum does, but it’s another to just plop... | |
| First order/Time Phase-Coherent speakers discussions "There is still some or even a lot of reading on digital if you want to start pushing the limits / doing custom FIR filters, etc. Digital is for low end stuffs. High end and expensive stuffs are pure analog. Consider it a lesson."That used to be ... | |
| First order/Time Phase-Coherent speakers discussions @timlub +1"With a active crossover, time/phase alignment becomes relatively easy." Agreed, and as someone who has those, if their frequency selection allows any choice from 20-20k which mine do, then it's a simple matter for me to just think up a ... | |
| Why do Classical CDs sound less Alive/Real/Present ? This thread is a great and honest slice of the true state of what so many people’s systems actually sound like.And this is Exactly what I mean when I keep going on and on that most systems are choked with noise and we don’t even recognize it. Once... | |
| Electrical/mechanical representation of instruments and space As per Geoff’s questions: Sometimes I think of a given system hardware as a ‘doorway’ that the signal will try to go through unscathed, but is compromised along the way by 2 things at least: noise and distortion. Sometimes I wonder what it migh... | |
| Remasters - are they better? What exactly is it? The danger is always using your current system as the most reliable measuring stick there is...it may not be...and if it isn’t (a Lot more likely than you might think), then when will it ever be, if at all. How ya gonna know if you’re making the r... | |
| Amps with meters ... I like VU or power meters. Also like frequency analyzers when they're well done (which may be seldom), but mostly VU. I have a few pairs and there are times when they're plainly distracting to me, but mine I can completely switch on and off easy, ... |
