| Recent equipment you hated, thought overpriced Usually when I hear a piece of good quality audio gear that I do not like AT ALL, it turns out something was damaged or not set up or working right. Most stuff is pretty good and worth the cost if one thinks so, as long as the whole system is asse... | |
| Recent equipment you hated, thought overpriced I guess I would not catch much flack putting most Bose stuff in this category.Not audio per se but I am also not an Apple fan in general. I almost always feel I can do better elsewhere. Despite that, I use an Apple tablet for convenience quite oft... | |
| Ohm Acoustics introduces its 20/20k beta speakers I think the subs are actually side mounted in the lower portion of the cabinets in all cases from what I read and recall, which would makes sense, not directly below the CLS driver can in the upper part as I had indicated above. There are no pics ... | |

| Solid State Amplifier Advancements In A Decade THose Datzeels are very interesting. Should be for $150000.For most people in this world, I'd say advancements in Class D amplifiers is the thing that most people with modest budgets should be looking into.

| 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... |
