| Sam here and this goes much deeper than i ever thought. Ok, but if you insist on having minds blown by it, then consider this:Wifi is a way of sending power (watts) over a given distance through the air, right? And this power is transmitted in the form of microwaves. Let’s look at a hypothetical. Let’s... | |
| Sam here and this goes much deeper than i ever thought. @uberwaltz, ......we're all in for it, aren't we! | |
| "Bridge Over Trouble Water" sounds artificial Would also like to add: remember that exactly where, and in what order, your recordings will ultimately land is overwhelmingly determined by the quality of your setup.For the longest time, I believe it was J Gordon Holt, who went around proclaimin... | |
| "Bridge Over Trouble Water" sounds artificial @aeshcwartz I'd say, it has nothing to do with the recordings. Your result is just reflective of the current (true) state of your playback system in your room...even if the upgrade results, in some way, in an apparent step backward or down in list... | |
| Sam here and this goes much deeper than i ever thought. A Farady cage just wouldn't work in any case, sure it blocks noise from outside the room (or house, if you're so determined), but it traps those nasties that originate from within the room, and keeps them inside the room itself. Most of the time ... | |
| Sam here and this goes much deeper than i ever thought. @ Sam, your conclusions may be a little premature, but you’re essentially on the right track. And there actually are "dangerous" amounts of EMR, 5G, WIFI and other things in the ordinary home. In a sense it’s actually worse and more involved than ... | |
| Oldest Recordings that sound “audiophile” @cd318, Thanks for your post and the history info. I’d have to agree with you, those 3 years were maybe the most crucial for rapid changes in audio - some bridges crossed and some others burned, if you will. I enjoyed your synopsis, I like learnin... | |
| Should a reference speaker be neutral, or just great sounding? In terms of room design, neutral sound is the hardest (most expensive) to attain. Alternatively you can go for the "live/detailed" sound or the "warm/organic" sound with much less trouble.But, AFA speakers go and AFA I'm concerned, neutrality has ... | |
| Is imaging reality? Some systems are better (more 'accurate' in a strictly subjective sense) than others at imaging, whether that's the gear itself or how well dialed into the room it is, or both, or neither. On the same track, three systems might reveal the bass pla... | |
| Oldest Recordings that sound “audiophile” This is just a FWIW follow up on my post above, but the CD version of The Ghost And Mrs. Muir I have is Varese Sarabande - VSD 5850 and The Captain From Castile is the one from the Screen Archives Entertainment label. For The Ghost And Mrs. Muir, ... | |
| Oldest Recordings that sound “audiophile” From 1947 to 1950, excellent sounding mics were available, but they were expensive to make and uncommon and tended to be first reserved for high-profile, big-budget events. I have two fine-sounding CD soundtracks, both in stereo, that were Hollywo... | |

| Ennio Morricone has passed away What a legendary composer. There will never be another like him. | |
| IM Distortion, Speakers and the Death of Science @erik_squires I couldn't follow many of the graphs and such, but I found the summary and discussions pretty intriguing. Didn't realize it was known that (dynamic) drivers had that kind of "memory"...(and yet somehow it does not entirely surprise ... | |
| IM Distortion, Speakers and the Death of Science Here, belatedly, is a picture-perfect example of the kind of (protracted) misinformation campaign that manufacturers have, and do, engage in.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPqpuTO6Kd4If you can watch the whole way through, you can see the story u... |
