| Impact of the Apollo Masters fire on vinyl production Sounds like it could for some but probably not me. | |
| Audiophile info resources Audio shows sans virus. Wish there less of a super high end/high cost bias and more of a range of products so more people looking to take first steps might go. | |
| Will streaming ever be "audiophile-worthy"? No doubt. | |
| can i recreate the sound of vinyl by encoding the vinyl frequencies onto digital audio? Visons of grandeur seem to be a trend around here these days. | |
| can i recreate the sound of vinyl by encoding the vinyl frequencies onto digital audio? The reason is I choose not to.If you think I am making things up that says more about you than me.HEy guess what? I have witnesses! But I’m not telling you who they are. So keep on talking.... | |
| Speaker shootout update; aggressive treble eliminating some (fairly?) " Easy to drive" and efficient are two different things.Easy to drive (like Fritz) means most any amp can drive the speakers with good tonal balance. But bass always still requires exponentially more power as frequency gets lower.So if also ineff... | |
| can i recreate the sound of vinyl by encoding the vinyl frequencies onto digital audio? Oh well. There goes my credit score. I have a lot of stuff. Tell me what you want to know. I’ll be happy to answer maybe even post links to pics if relevant to the thread. | |

| Speaker shootout update; aggressive treble eliminating some (fairly?) ...also would add that dips in bass response will tend to add emphasis to the rest which could also be a factor in the overall tonality issues.I bet the Fritz do really well if set up facing lengthwise with some distance to rear wall somewhere aro... | |
| Is imaging reality? Think of hifi as an abstract form of art. Producers create recordings to sound the way they like. They are never exact representations of reality. However, with good ones, there is more of an abstract reality to reproduce, experience, and enjoy ... | |
| Speaker shootout update; aggressive treble eliminating some (fairly?) That would fit the bill. Also still worth checking impedance/phase curves for an easy load. Fritz should be a leader there and so far seems to be.It’s seldom just one thing. Could be at least three contributing factors to various degrees 1) inhere... |
