| Indentical measurments = Identical performance? @danager What I’ve written has to do with common sense. What you’ve written has to do with exactly the same drivel that every person who believes in blind testing says. That, and some of my words in there for good measure to make yourself sound ... | |
| Indentical measurments = Identical performance? @danager I never suggested test driving a car while using a blind method of testing. Of course that would be extremely dangerous! When you keep a process for testing simple - like test driving a car for example, you eliminate variables that wo... | |
| Indentical measurments = Identical performance? @theaudiomaniac There is bias in everything. Unless of course we are intellectually honest with ourselves. My method of listening allows a person to be absolutely certain about their listening impressions. You listen, have a reference point, th... | |
| Indentical measurments = Identical performance? @theaudiomaniac Seems like you’ve got more "reputation" than Taylor Swift’s "are you ready for it?" Album. When you are cornered like this on a forum you are effectively "dancing with your hands tied," and may need a "getaway car" but don’t b... | |
| CD Player issue? I fixed the problem... Applied hand sanitizer that kills 99.9% of germs to both sides of a qtip, waited a few minutes, then wiped thr lens off on both sides using a microfiber cloth. Inserted thr lens back in to the optical pickup. And now it re... | |
| Indentical measurments = Identical performance? @erik_squires Thank you for thr insight. That makes sense. @danager I think your analogy would be more suited when discussing the longevity or lifespan of something. For instance, do power conditioners help components live longer without inte... | |
| Indentical measurments = Identical performance? 😄 | |
| Indentical measurments = Identical performance? @theaudiomaniac I've got to say...you are really "living up" to your username. Well i dont know of any measurments that take in to account the filtering our brain does with sound and music in general, but if the entire waveform is reproduced ac... | |
| Indentical measurments = Identical performance? @theaudiomaniac Thanks for your post. But I wish you would have added something more constructive to this discussion. Surely you don't agree with electrical engineers. But afterall, they are the very people who design audio gear. | |
| Indentical measurments = Identical performance? @erik_squires I agree with most of what you've written. If measurments are not science but only a standard for determining quality assurance, shouldn't that mean the Chinese audio gear that measures leaps and bounds ahead of other well-known b... | |
| How do you judge audio components and speakers? @mahgister You know what? I'm only joking around with you. But you took it too seriously. And you know what else? Your system has tons of relection points that like I wrote on your profile, probably lead to a pseudo-surround effect when you ar... | |
| CD Player issue? @stereo5 Thank you for clarifying. I appreciate it! Guess I will have to sell it then. | |
| CD Player issue? @stereo5 Thank you for your answer. So you mean that you also had this problem with a Pioneer CD player not reading CD-Rs that were burned on a computer? So gluing the lens back in solved the problem? Well of course it did! The PD-65 rea... | |
| Chord DAVE DAC Thank you all so much :) | |
| Chord DAVE DAC I want the DAC to be accurate. Just want to hear the music the way it was recorded. But measurements don't tell the entire story...so subjective opinions and objective reviews from professionals are necessary. |
