| Digital Room Correction: Where in the chain? The problem here is applying the correction to lp. It would be better to apply the correction to a digital signal, before the dac. I assume most audiophiles resist disturbing the all-analogue chain of lp’s and tape (otherwise, what’s the point?) ... | |
| God, I hate to ask this… You know the old joke: an audiophile’s greatest fear is that his widow will sell off his gear for the prices he told her he paid for it… | |
| Validation @ toddalin I can’t either. And my friend is 70, but I didn’t want to insult his ears… | |
| Validation Of course, compliments are always appreciated, but it’s not about ego, validation, or anything like that. If you don’t want any critical input, it’s your loss. A friend came over, so I played his favorite record (Santana’s first album). He co... | |
| More potential bad news for some big names... @ wswright20 and @noromance No politics, just fact: “Most people” have not spoken (voted). C. 22.7% of the US elected the current thing. | |
| Does other Audiogon members' opinion carry any weight for you ? I value the input of several posters here. I really wish there were a way to block the rest. | |
| Solutions for converting vinyl to 256 DSD? I've had a similar concern, such as, "what to do with 160 Duke Ellington lp's"? I suspect that you are underestimating the personal cost to digitize a significant # of lp's. Factor in, e.g., a top a\d converter, wear on expensive stylus, clea... | |
| Tube Pre/ Class D Amp - Who has done it? I tried a D-Sonic amp with a Modwright 36.5 preamp. It was a nice amp, crystal clear, excellent for home theater or background music, but sort of lifeless with 2 ch audio. If you're not familiar with it, the Modwright is a fine preamp (imo), bu... | |
| I'm curious. What is your "normal" listening volume? Sorry @sargonicuse, thanks for the link! | |
| I'm curious. What is your "normal" listening volume? @ ditusa, thanks! Cool app. 70-82 db. My apt is noisy, so less than that is little more than background. The ambient noise level affects how loud your music needs to be played, as well as its dynamic range. | |
| Do you agree with John Atkinson (and me)? An absurd premise. The equipment needed to play it well greatly exceeds the cost of the collection. I don't think my 4000 or so records has much value. Too much effort would be required to extract it. My heirs will probably give it away. The ... | |
| Hearing Aids None of the top hearing aids are domestic products, so wouldn’t they be subject to the new tariffs? | |
| Hearing Aids @signaforce + 1. I would be interested to hear your results. | |
| Hearing Aids The problem is that, aside from Widex, the hearing aid designers pay no attention at all to the sound of music. As others point out, they are designed only for speech recognition (i.e., focused around the 2-3 khz region). One of my friends, who... | |
| Speaker Jumper/Link Cables - Best Ones? Nordost Valhalla, Tara Labs Omega Evolution OR.. "Warm" jumpers to ...tweeters? You might want to focus on the frequencies those jumpers are carrying. |
