| It this a decent Phono setup? Your analogue source components are far out classed by your amp and speakers, and I don't think upgrading any of them is a good use of funds. Do you have a budget to improve your front end? Are you committed to vinyl? I ask because my digital s... | |
| AI and the future of music @rettrussell how's this? (Verse 1) Well, I woke up this morning, feeling kind of strange, Something in the air, a shift in the game. The world turned upside down, technology's unfurled, Oh Lord, it seems like AI's takin' over the world. (Chorus)... | |
| AI and the future of music +2 @baylinor AI in certain applications, like healthcare, it is already producing statistically better results than humans. For example fundus photography. AI can identify diabetic retinopathy better than humans; but part of that is because some... | |
| From whence does Sound Stage come? @rodman99999 thanks for the LEDR links - I downloaded the 5 LEDR files and they sounded as they should (as described). So I guess I'm set up fairly well. | |
| The Snob Appeal Premium @mikelavigne congrats on being able to build an off-the-chain system. I'll be able to use your incredibly detailed virtual system to prove to my wife that I'm not crazy. OP. The Louis Vuitton analogy is weak; they wear out (or rather, become soil... | |
| Digitally recorded vinyl vs streaming Regardless of whether the vinyl mastering source is digital or analogue, play back is still 100% analogue. Taking a DAC out of the equation makes a difference. Not always for the better though. Many variables as discussed prior. Personally, I don... | |
| Aidiogon is Da Bomb! You haven't been on here long enough. I think kota1's 2 years, 29 posts and 2142 responses is long enough to figure it out | |
| Weak Link in Vinyl Playback Unless you have a substantial vinyl collection (whatever that means to you), I'd spend the money on better speakers and focus on digital. My digital source is roughly 20% of the cost of my analogue source. Both are very good. Far better ROI on th... | |
| Subs with room correction DSP? @doctors11 You're welcome. Personally, I've never bought anything primarily based on a professional review. I do read them though. Sometimes after the purchase. Reading commentary from actual users and asking questions, mostly here, has served me... | |
| Subs with room correction DSP? @doctors11 My experience was with a single ML Dynamo 1100X and the Perfect Bass Kit. I have a very difficult room to deal with - 60 ft wide, 20 ft deep, 8ft ceiling, open floor plan, lots of glass. I tried front and downward firing, and had the w... | |
| Why do speakers improve with more powerful amps? +2 @akg_ca Roger from Rogers High Fidelity had an interesting comment somewhere about amps operating in their "sweet spot" of sort of a median power delivery, and noted as an example that very powerful amps into efficient speakers don’t get the... | |
| What happened to all the highend stereo shops You mentioned California...what county? If you can read this message, Thank a Teacher. If you are reading it in English, Thank a Veteran I am grateful to/for both. My parents and grandparents who survived WWII (they lived in London) taught m... | |
| How Long Is Too Long? A new customer waiting on delivery can wait longer than an established customer waiting for service, as long as expectations are properly set for the new customer. Under promise/over deliver. Perhaps has his priorities mixed up. Maybe because he ... | |
| Am I defective? Is it a blessing or a curse to be moved to great lengths by a piece of art, music or any other purely creative endeavor? I think it is a blessing. To be "moved to great lengths" (tears, joy, sadness, bliss) IMO makes us more engaged humans. ... | |
| Subs with room correction DSP? @m-db I didn’t say the sub crawl was a gimmick, it is not and I have done it and understand it. What I was suggesting is that it is not necessary if you use 2 subs as an extension of each speaker for 2 channel. You can see my set up in my profile ... |
