| Tweaks - An Honest Discussion Like everything else some are good some are useless. Some are free and some are expensive. Some are real and some are fake. Some make sense and some don’t. | |
| Older And Wiser or just Tighter and Deafer? Why are people always seeking opinions on whether their audio habits are normal or not? Normal is an iPhone and earbuds. Older and wiser is also the norm.Also hearing ability only deteriorates over time. So that is always the norm there. Cheaper? ... | |
| Distance between speakers - are the physics what they are? Yes not what was asked about but practically a good bluetooth speaker could work very well there and fit in nicely in regards to aesthetics. | |
| Does the 'Buck' Start with the DAC? Of course it all matters but practically one will choose the DAC for the sound and the streamer mostly for the features. | |
| Jazz for someone who doesn't like jazz. Regarding female jazz vocalists, give Sophie Millman a shot. | |

| Gaining listening experience without spending money Listen to everything you can whenever you can and care about understanding why you hear what you do. You don’t have to own something to listen and facilitate training your ears. Also do a lot of reading to help build a good understanding of how hi... | |
| How long do you think it will take Having respect for others and exhibiting good manners when interacting with people is a god thing not “political correctness”. These things have nothing to do with politics. It’s a term people with political agendas toss around to justify bad beh... | |
| Jazz for someone who doesn't like jazz. Yes good idea to spend some time with Ken Burn’s “Jazz” documentary and see where that might lead you. | |
| Should I be able to hear a 4Hz difference in my speakers? Not much down there generally but there can be.This shows it well: https://sanfranciscoaudiophilesociety.com/interactive-frequency-chart-by-independent-recording-network/ | |
| How long do you think it will take I don’t want used products that people have painted with graphene. I would rather take my chances elsewhere. | |
| Should I be able to hear a 4Hz difference in my speakers? You probably need a very beefy high power high current amp into the little Totem’s to have any chance of much that can be heard happening at 28hz. Most amps will probably say uncle first. If the room is smaller rather than larger, that will also h... | |
| Should I be able to hear a 4Hz difference in my speakers? Good question!28-32hz - you might be able to feel rather than hear the bass in that range a bit more if a) its in the recording b) the rest of your system has good response down to below 28hz and c) the room acoustics support it, but probably a ve... | |
| Distance between speakers - are the physics what they are? With that limitation on setup, you would probably get better results with speakers that have very wide dispersion pattern. A pair of small Ohm Microwalsh which are largely omnidirectional would fit and might be worth a try. http://www.audioreview.... |
