| Will Open Baffle Speakers Approach the Speed and Dynamics of Horns? @seadweller as ozzy62 hinted at, it’s all a matter of application. Either can perform 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 I’ve heard exaggera... | |
| Sound quality differences in streamers @devinplombier Nothing to worry about or disappoint, I didn’t have much of a hope either way : ) @kckrs 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 @devinplombier thank you for your kind response - yes I believe you did miss something, but there’s 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 one’s 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 @mdalton 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 @mdalton 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, ‘auditor... | |
| Sound quality differences in streamers @kckrs - it must be draining having to read through so many polar opposite comments, so I’ll 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! @audiokinesis - thanks so much for your detailed reply, duke! : ) - kevin | |
| I bought 4 subwoofers and I'm absolutely not doing a DBA! Hah! @audiokinesis - 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? @rvpiano - there is a related post on this to which I responded….. For what it’s worth, every evening I’m listening to music, I adjust the volume of almost every track that’s being played, sometimes even those on the same album. The reason isn... | |
| ??? Listening Levels & Musical Styles ??? @tostadosunidos - I think you have it right here. For what it’s worth, every evening I’m listening to music, I adjust the volume of almost every track that’s being played, sometimes even those on the same album. The reason isn’t purely because... | |
| Question for Atma-sphere, will expensive power cables improve your amplifiers? @soix I felt I was being very nice to you the first time in response, but I must say now, you just have to stop letting your dogma curtail conversation between two other individuals. My question was to Ralph and not to you, over an issue he was pe... | |
| Question for Atma-sphere, will expensive power cables improve your amplifiers? @atmasphere thank you so much for your clarity and continuation here, Ralph. I fully understand now - I usually trust my abilities to read between the lines but did not want to take a chance on your sense of things on this particular issue. : ) I... | |
| Question for Atma-sphere, will expensive power cables improve your amplifiers? @devinplombier ‘Around here, that's called bullying, and it is considered abuse. Just sayin ’ - and how well that sums up the state of the union, in relation to a simple search for directness and truth. Thank you for the measured way you have resp... | |
| Question for Atma-sphere, will expensive power cables improve your amplifiers? @devinplombier in truth, very very few manufacturers would bother getting into discussions such as this, which is a sad thing. My questions for Ralph may be putting him on the spot unintentionally, but it is so that I, and possibly others, may hav... |
