| Sound Quality of Direct TV audio I don't know but would not surprise me if most digital TV providers do something similar. Most people are not audiophiles who care about full range sound reproduction. Filtering out low bass could well make things sound better for many with lesser... | |
| Interesting project started by Michael Fremer Will the result determine which technology is better or who is the better mastering engineer?There is a huge sample of quality recordings out there both analog and digital in various formats. Not sure what two additional data points can prove rega... | |
| Funniest Quote About Your Audio "Affliction" its not hard to reconcile science and religion to each other as long as you keep fanatics out of it. | |
| why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable Geoff my point is that vendor specs are usually specified loosely because if used teh results will often at least satisy most people. That's different than specifying what is needed for best performance in order to satisfy audiophiles. Maybe some ... | |
| why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable I saw this heaDLINE TODAY:"'COLOSSAL WASTE': US spent $43M to build $500,000 Afghan gas station"That's 86X too much it would seem. | |
| Interesting project started by Michael Fremer Sounds like a big waste of time and money. | |
| why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable No manufacturer will knowingly publish something that might limit sales. That's why most speaker makers understate what power is needed for best performance. It would scare off potential customers in many cases if they told them how much power was... | |
| Ohm Acoustics introduces its 20/20k beta speakers Whoops my mistake. I read the prototypes are offered for reduced cost. The new line itself is not referred to as prototypes. In Addition to the use of the powered subs other differences with the line is use of refurbed older cabinets like those fr... | |
| Ohm Acoustics introduces its 20/20k beta speakers The ohm site still refers to the models with this approach as "prototypes" pending more feedback from users. It appears the subs are also downward facing in the cans immediately below the traditional CLS driver. It's a very unique design it would ... | |
| Rogue Audio Cronus Magnum II or Pharaoh Integrated Pharaoh no doubt. It's a wonderful sounding piece maybe one of the best. I could downsize to one and be happy. I like Cronus magnum as well but only for clear tube amp applications. | |
| Ohm Acoustics introduces its 20/20k beta speakers Strictly gut but If it were me these would optional additional models that deliver a more robust low end out of a smaller box right out of the box. Offloading bass to powered sub means smaller external amps can be used and usually means better per... | |
| why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable Geof just likes to tease and agitate the audiophiles. Seems to be a hobby. His brand is his way of making it official. Some would call it trolling. I wouldn't waste too much time having a serious discussion with him. 👹 | |
| Ohm Acoustics introduces its 20/20k beta speakers Not a replacement but enhancements by adding powered sub in existing model cabinets. The f5015 is the biggest and has been around for a year or so already. Sounds like similar approach with smaller models. Adding powered subs allow a certain speak... | |
| why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable It's always about system synergy starting with the room. Wires come last once all the rest is tuned in. If things are tackled in the right order biggest fish first then finding the right wires should not be nearly as hard. If things are off to sta... | |
| Why does most new music suck? Try Davina and the Vagabonds and the new "Snow Goose" by Camel that was redone in 2013. |
