| Dealer affiliations and attitudes, assumptions and lack of respectful engagement in audio. It seems that when it gets nasty here, a lot of people resort to standard arguments or some variation on those themes. Avoiding these might be a good start: 1. You don’t hear what I hear because your system is crap, too cheap and not good enough ... | |
| Audio influencers on YouTube hiding comments from public view @hilde45 exactly. MC claimed to know a lot, maybe he did, but he went out of his way to ridicule people. He made a full-time job out of being unpleasant. And he was good at his job. @carlos269 I think you hit the nail on the head. Fine for these... | |
| Audio influencers on YouTube hiding comments from public view +3 @viridian | |
| Does Chat GPT just give you the answer you are hoping for? From my use, I’d say ChatGPT is bided toward telling you what it thinks will be pleasing. Good at retrieving information questionable analysis | |
| Audio influencers on YouTube hiding comments from public view I agree with you, but it’s their channel so they can do what they want. Hopefully, those who engage in that practice have the integrity to disclose it, leaving us the option of skipping their videos. | |
| How competitive are you with your system? It’s a fascinating pursuit- music is magical and putting together a system to get the best out of the resources I’m able and willing to spend is challenge enough. I note, however, that for a decidedly uncompetitive group we frequently engage i... | |
| Qobuz vs Airplay @dokosan i’ve had the SIM Audio 390 in my system in the past and I think it is a really good product, very well built and accomplishes a lot of things. I thought the Mind software was very good and SimAudio does a good job of maintenance. I think ... | |
| What decibel level do you listen at? What is ideal? Typically around 80db although the sweet spot varies depending on genre | |
| A principle guiding the wise audiophile life @p05129 +1. Well stated. There are no perfect components, every design incorporates compromises. Better equipment means the ceiling for your system is higher, you have greater potential. A room with poor acoustics will surely prevent even a superb... | |
| A principle guiding the wise audiophile life Tough break for your buddy. No amount of room treatment was going to tame that tweeter. | |
| What exactly is critical listening? Who does it? I define critical listening as focusing only on the music-maybe not the precisely correct meaning. Lots of people-my daughters for example-always have music on, but its in the background, while they are doing other things. I bought them both a Mor... | |
| MBL Insolvent I'm not a MBL fanboy-never owned one of its products, and MBL leadership obviously didn't execute a viable plan. I hope MBL survives-I respect what they do. I've never been really tempted by ARC but I know it makes really good stuff and think the ... | |
| MBL Insolvent @ghdprentice I heard those at the southwest Audiofest, might’ve been the debut and I thought they sounded really, really good especially for the price | |
| MBL Insolvent @jasonbourne71 You have a point, these are discretionary products that we can all live without. Of course there are folks who are content to listen to music on a $50 bluetooth speaker who would say people who buy a $200 set of bookshelf speakers a... | |
| MBL Insolvent @lalitk Thank you. I don't think these products are indispensable, I do think they make a subtle but discernible improvement-a bit more clarity and presence. When I've removed them, its not as good but certainly not night and day. The better power... |
