| Is the "improvement" real or imnagined? @deep_333 The BAACH product apparently does some of that-I’m looking forward to checking it out | |
| Is the "improvement" real or imnagined? @carlsbad2 that seems a sound approach. I think confirmation bias is real, and might be particularly consequential in this context because of the nature of auditory memeory. | |
| Is the "improvement" real or imnagined? Yeah, the hair hasn’t been over my ears since 1978. | |
| Is the "improvement" real or imnagined? it is complicated and interesting beyond this little tweak because it seems to get to the heart of a lot of the debates about various improvements | |
| WHO IS ATTENDING SOUTHWEST AUDIOFEST SWAF IN DALLAS THIS WEEKEND! I am looking forward to hearing the infigo amps | |
| a rant OP, I understand what you are saying and it can be hard to avoid. I agree with what many have said about reviewers. I don’t avoid them and find them interesting because I like learning about equipment. I do try to take them with a huge grain of sa... | |

He actually refer... | |
| The Insane World of High End Audio! Is it All a Scam? I thought Randy's video was ridiculous and the comments worse. He's just playing to his crowd, stoking resentment, cynically trolling for clicks. If someone wants to buy a $60k or $600k set of speakers its their business, not mine or yours. And ho... | |
| I am sad Tariffs making everyone a bit surly | |
| System advice I’ve heard several octave amps and have the octave Jubilee preamp. I think they provide warmth without being soft and are particularly better at controlling the low end than some tube amps. This is so subjective that only one set of ears really ma... | |
| I am sad This topic seems to have exhausted itself, | |
| Comparing speakers at home questions Best to do both. Big differences can be noticed quickly and are obviously most important subtle differences may require more time but are more prone to mistakes. Optimal set up for the speakers will differ and if you don’t get them both set up p... |
