| 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... | |
| Do we ask too much of our audio systems? I don't think we ask too much of our systems, we only ask too little of ourselves in pursuit of what we know, deep down, we really want. | |
| Is room treatment a science? I definitely agree with @mahgister when he says that the room's acoustic problems (peaks and nulls at the very least) can be positively influenced and very effectively smoothed out and flattened to a substantial degree actively as he says, even wi... | |
| Is room treatment a science? What does the ideal room even look like. If you can't Precisely answer that question, then you have no hope of stumbling across the right answer...and certainly not by looking at anything that 'seems like a good idea'. The physics will necessarily... | |
| IM Distortion, Speakers and the Death of Science I have to say, all things considered, it's better to be artificially intelligent than genuinely stoopid. | |
| IM Distortion, Speakers and the Death of Science It may be a bit slow in coming from me, but I want to clarify a bit of what I already posted a while back. I said:’I don’t think it is so much the death of science that has stopped the adoption of better measurement methods so much as it has been ... | |
| A newbie journey Excellent, hope you enjoy for a long time! The happy place is indeed what it's all about. | |
| IM Distortion, Speakers and the Death of Science Erik, I don’t think it is so much the death of science that has stopped the adoption of better measurement methods so much as it has been the rise of marketing. Not just the sheer amounts of advertising, but journalism and also the advent of the i... |
