| Townshend Maximum Supertweeters @antigrunge yes and those high-frequency overtones are referred to collectively by the term “air”. Look it up. I’m not making up the definition. Some instruments have them and some do not. Some that do might also produce some upper bass frequencie... | |
| Marty Stuart on Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers: If I had to pick only one of those bands entire body of work to listen I would go with Los Lobos for the total package including a nice pinch of diversity. I know the Band were groundbreakers but just not that interesting anymore to me. TP&THs... | |
| Stands or no stands Try it and see. They are designed to get the bass reinforcement from the floor but you never know what sounds best until you try. | |
| Distributed Bass Array configuration It’s nice when people try to help other people. Not so nice when they boast about it and also try to discredit others in order to claim some sort of monopoly. So the two cancel each other out. See how that works? | |
| Distributed Bass Array configuration It’s pretty funny actually when some worry about things like fuse and wire direction and others shrug off bass as suddenly and totally independent of direction unlike all the rest. | |

| Class D amps seem poised to take over. Then what? Good stuff. Thank you @atmasphere | |
| How much difference does a phono preamp really make? It can make a huge difference. First fundamental step is make sure phono input specs match cart output specs ie the two are compatible. Then you are baselined optimally to assess any other differences from device to device, if it still matters eno... | |
| Why is science just a starting point and not an end point? Science is a methodology that allows you to detect patterns in data. Once the patterns are validated and determined useful, then the science gets applied. Engineers trained to apply science to solve problems do that. Then others benefit from the ... | |
| Distributed Bass Array configuration +1 @audio-unionTotally true but look every obsessed audiophile must choose their obsessions and overlook certain truths to keep it all reeled in or go totally bonkers. Or do they? From the sound of things, perhaps not. 😉 | |
| My Apologies to Miller Carbon I would not leave just any SS amp on all the time. Warmup when possible more likely. It’s Likely to shorten lifespan in many cases if left on . There are exceptions. I leave my class d amps on 90% of the time because they do not consume much power... | |
| How many of you are digital only systems? So funny anyone who’s been around knows what sounds good. No one technology has the market cornered. But seems everyone has their own personal bias. Why should anyone listen? Audiophiles can’t even agree on what good sound is. It’s all conjecture.... | |
| Feeling the Spirit! Most of the old pop hits we listened to on a cheap radio back on those days are a revelation when remastered and played back now on a good modern hifi. Same true for most recordings from back in the first 10-15 years of hi fi 331/3 records. Qualit... | |
| Bookshelf/Small Speakers I always think of Dynaudio as one of the gold standard brands. Can never go wrong. Unless the amp is not up to the task. |
