| What is your experience with amp power? @realworldaudio as most of us have no hearing above 14kHz or so How do you know this? My audiograms only measure from 250-8000Hz. | |
| LOUDEST Concert and Tinnitus @tony1954 That's awesome! I'm not sure what number though. Thanks for the kind words. unrelenting and unescapable 100% | |
| A SHOCKING DISCOVERY ABOUT DIGITAL AUDIO The most shocking thing about his thread is that it doesn't have to do with speakers. Ha ha! $5 bucks says this thread gets deleted before midnight PST, just like the last one. OR NO ONE ELSE RESPOND AND IT WILL LAST FOREVER | |
| LOUDEST Concert and Tinnitus I don’t what was the loudest concert (maybe The WHO, Vancouver, 80’s) but we saw Eric Church and Dave Matthews in Tahoe last summer, same venue. SPL meter on my phone. Eric Church - excellent sound, did not need the ear plugs. Dave’s sound sucked ... | |
| What is your experience with amp power? Right now I'm listening to Eva Cassidy I Can Only Be Me through 86dB Harbeth's and 2 RELs at a little over 1/4 volume with a 35wpc Raven Audio tube amp. 82 dB SPL peaks 10ft from the mains, sounds awesome. My room is 60ft w x 25ft d open plan. | |
| Tube DAC (Black Ice) Users - What Streamer Are You Using? @soix Thanks! I hear good things about the sense app and even the entry level Aurender is more than I'm will to spend atm. | |
| Tube DAC (Black Ice) Users - What Streamer Are You Using? @wlutke thank you | |
| Tube DAC (Black Ice) Users - What Streamer Are You Using? @wlutke I've looked at your DAC before - looks really interesting. I thought the same about the stock Russian tubes but I ordered some NOS Mullards at the same time as the DAC so they weren't in long. Massive improvement and IMO the point of ownin... | |
| Tube DAC (Black Ice) Users - What Streamer Are You Using? @dorislucero what does the myhealthonline URL have to do with your post? | |
| Low level listening 15 minutes of exposure to 100dB may cause hearing loss. (CDC) | |
| Low level listening @dynamiclinearity No worries and thank you. I agree with you. Hearing loss and tinnitus is a serious and sometimes debilitating problem. I do think it is helpful for those of us with hearing loss and an interest in hifi to protect our hearing... | |
| Low level listening OP your audiogram may provide some insight - for me the loss was 750-4KHz 40-60dB. Basically vowels and made worse by the generally softer female voice. So I flash the report to my wife every once in a while. | |
| Low level listening @thespeakerdude Actually it is physiology not biology. Either way, I'm not disputing your chart. I'm disputing the claim that low levels will "never sound right" (good/enjoyable?) until you get to 100dB. Sounding "right" is subjective and I sp... | |
| Beatles vs. Stones I’m glad we had/have both. I’m a WHO fan as well. I’m going to brag a little (ok a lot), that I got to walk across the famous "zebra crossing" to Abbey Road Studios and spend many hours (and drink a pint or two) inside the studios where the Beatl... | |
| Low level listening @dynamiclinearity Low levels will never sound right as explained by someone earlier our ear frequency response varies with level and bass and treble are softer than middle frequencies until about 100dB The correlation between sounding right a... |
