| Will I benefit from a subwoofer with 20Hz speakers? @erik_squires I really would like to take your words for it and tune my 44hz and 39 hz (+-3db) bookshelfs down to 20hz (flat like you have shown or -3db is fine). This really sounds a bit too good to be true to be honest. But before we invest furt... | |
| Schiit Freya + Class A in Stereophile @invalid When Stereophile decides to mix the different price categories, sound quality is literally the only major determinant factor. I don’t know exactly the reason why they award Class A to Schiit Freya+ before the review is up, but the review ... | |
| Schiit Freya + Class A in Stereophile @invalid You seem to imply the class A defined by Stereophile does not mean the highest quality. If so, please advise what does it really mean. I am all ears. | |
| Amir and Blind Testing @daveinpa "...But I couldn’t tell the difference between my 200 dollar topping DAC and simply plugging my laptop audio out to preamp rca inputs..." I do not think Topping $200 ish or even sub $200 Dac (assuming your Topping Dac is one of the good... | |
| Amir and Blind Testing Sometimes you just need to take it with a grain of salt when reading Amir's measurements and his assessment. It is the same for other reviewers' comments. I found, though, good measurement is not a sufficient condition of a well-received devices,... | |
| Limited soundstage between speakers You might want to use the following youtube clip for testing, which I believe is a good recording. Set up your speakers placement according to the actual stage and see if the SS within or beyond the speakers. Also close your eyes to feel the depth... | |
| CD player I suggest you try upgrading Modi to Modius first, if your PA has balanced connection. I do not have Modi before but found Modius_XLR is superior to all the entry-level Dac I had. The unison USB connection performance is terrific. Modius is also o... | |
| An electrical engineer on how power cables can impact sound quality @madcow here you go. | |
| Power Conditioning on the Cheap @mitch2 Damn good idea but the cost might not be as affordable as you think. Running dedicated power line depends on several factors such as electrical needs, distance and whether or not you need to cut into drywall to run new wiring. If extensi... | |
| An electrical engineer on how power cables can impact sound quality WE DO NOT WANT TO SEE THIS TYPE OF CONFRONTATION HERE IN THE FORUM USING HOSTILE LANGUAGE. NOT HEALTHY AT ALL. SELF CONTROLLED, GUYS PLEASE. FORUM MASTER, IF EXISTED, NEEDS TO COME IN AND SAY SOMETHING. | |
| An electrical engineer on how power cables can impact sound quality What is lacking here is the actual testing / comparison before and after the luxuary power cable is used? Does the power get cleaner? I don’t think it is hard to do, right?😉 I believe the burden of proof is on whoever claiming the superiority of t... | |
| Best streamer/DAC for up to $1500 Coveats for Musician Pegasus given by a reviewer are noted here FYI. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qH0MY044X8Q&t=180s Schiit had a pretty solid Dac line starting from $199 Modius. SS is wide with decent depth and good image. I also fin... | |
| Pearl Acoustics Sibelius Speakers An impressive small single driver transmission line speakers. It seems to go low but, when listening to Birds by Dominique Fils-Aimé, the bottom bass notes are not that weighty compared to my little bookshelf NHT Sb3, honestly, which costs sub $25... | |
| Law of Accelerated Returns Well, that performance / response curve is representation of average human behavior, like all theories. Like I said, there are many human factors affecting the pattern of the curve. In the other topics I posted that discussed the DR, I touch on ... | |
| Law of Accelerated Returns Accelerated Return (AR) and Diminished Return (DR) can be illustrated in a logistic graph as shown below. When applied onto the stereo system, AR often occurs at lower priced system before the linear region where the increase in price yields appr... |
