| On service, expectations, big business and handcraft Indeed, it is all about the music : ) - thanks for pitching in, lalitk. In any case, since we are already here, have you taken the digital fuse box plunge just yet? š kevin | |
| On service, expectations, big business and handcraft @lalitkĀ - No argument with your sense of things, lalitk, as you present a very compelling narrative - but scale of operation does matter, no matter how much it shouldnāt, and personality and temperament has everything to do with how we communicate... | |
| On service, expectations, big business and handcraft @v-fi -Ā I donāt doubt there are many small audio businesses who are terrific - they are terrific because they conform to your idea of acceptable service and politeness. In case it wasnāt clear, Iām not offering a way out of the predicament others ... | |
| On service, expectations, big business and handcraft @acresverdeĀ -Ā i hope you took note of the title of this thread and the fact I referred to the other side of things, not āthis storyā. The original discussion may have started with tksteingraberās USB cable complaint - my post merely uses the detai... | |
| Will Open Baffle Speakers Approach the Speed and Dynamics of Horns? @seadwellerĀ as ozzy62 hinted at, itās all a matter of application. Either can perform Ā well or badly, depending on how each has been handled. Most open baffles to me lack the punch and depth of a boxed speaker, while most horns Iāve heard exaggera... | |
| Sound quality differences in streamers @devinplombierĀ Nothing to worry about or disappoint, I didnāt have much of a hope either way : ) @kckrsĀ Ā After all that talk of streamers, equipment, cables and room acoustics is said and done, it all boils down to the one instrument that every... | |
| Sound quality differences in streamers @devinplombierĀ thank you for your kind response - yes I believe you did miss something, but thereās no need for apology - of course pres, amps and speakers are vital, but no less and no more than a power outlet is to what is delivered to oneās e... | |
| Sound quality differences in streamers Unfortunately, some believe good analog to be primarily about the pre, amp and speakers, in failing to understand it all begins with the needle and cartridge. Spending any less effort on that and nothing else downstream matters. As with digital, e... | |
| Sound quality differences in streamers @mdaltonĀ thank you for your well-mannered reply, mdalton; ) - my response is just to say that my post was indeed relevant to your fundamental point, which claims that everything that matters can be measured. I provided links to articles that say... | |
| Sound quality differences in streamers @mdaltonĀ The human ear works in non-linear process, and can hear the smallest differences in the time domain too subtle to be accurately measured. In the auditory sciences, this is known as fine-grained temporal perception, or simply, āauditor... | |
| Sound quality differences in streamers @kckrs - it must be draining having to read through so many polar opposite comments, so Iāll keep this an easy read. It is known we each sense the world differently - as a trained architect, I am able to tell when a line is off level by an eighth ... | |
| I bought 4 subwoofers and I'm absolutely not doing a DBA! Hah! @audiokinesisĀ - thanks so much for your detailed reply, duke! : ) - kevin | |
| I bought 4 subwoofers and I'm absolutely not doing a DBA! Hah! @audiokinesisĀ Ā - duke, may I ask about your sense of things, all things room and equipment equal, if you feel that a distributed bass array will still give better bass accuracy, depth and cohesion with mids and highs than what erik is working on? ... | |
| Does loudness play a part in your appreciation? @rvpianoĀ Ā - there is a related post on this to which I respondedā¦..
