| Tracking modern pop recordings with very loud bass Your mocking answer can only be interpreted to mean yours probably can’t.I bet my bass is probably at least as good as yours and I do it with only 1 subwoofer. Please contain your admiration...... | |
| Ribbon Tweeters and Animal Hair Always keep pets away from delicate gear. A good blast with pressurized air for cleaning on occasion sounds like a good idea to me. 👍 | |
| Which Component Has the Greatest Affect on Low-Level Listening Higher efficiency speakers will allow your amp to go further and should help when bass is boosted by a loudness control as well. In theory.....proof is in the pudding. 🙏 | |
| New Audiophile going crazy Sounds like you are having fun. What’s the problem? 🤷♂️ | |
| What exactly is textural density?? Music might have textural density but not speakers. Sounds like detail. A good system overall probably delivers it better. The speakers ALWAYS get all the credit. 😤 | |
| A stupid question for which there's no sensible answer. When the room is bad going more near field is always an effective solution.

| Wow, $10k+ cables Attacking others asking questions does nothing to support the case for any particular wire expensive or otherwise. Fact is it hurts it if anything. If one thinks a particular product is worth it just state the case. Avoid generalizations. The ... | |

| Audio Lessons Learned - post your best advice for the newer members! Oh and hifi satisfaction is a very personal thing. Never pay retail on expensive items without some kind of verified money back satisfaction guarantee. There should be a trial period within which you can return for money back. | |

They run the gamut and sound they way the producers intended them to not the way you want them to or think they should. So no hifi will make them all sound the way you think they should. If you can h... | |
| Audio Lessons Learned - post your best advice for the newer members! My advice is to seek out good advice from reliable sources. | |
| Acoustic treatment question: do you agree with Dennis Foley that $46k to $65k is required? I’m sure it can cost that much. Like most things of course it depends. Big time. | |
| Perfect Path "Solutions" (PPS) eMat Hmm I’ll go out on a limb and assert the most acclaimed philosophers probably are served well by a fair dose of humility. They run the risk of preaching to a vacuum if their lack of humility means nobody wants to listen to them.Of course they may ... | |
| Perfect Path "Solutions" (PPS) eMat Yes I know but humility is a virtue that can serve everyone though many may not choose to leverage it, especially those very driven and successful.I come from Amish country and very humble beginnings so I may have a somewhat distorted perspective ... |
