| Nearly all manufacturers do not advertise/exhibit their product measurements? Why? @amir_asr I have plenty of this data. It falls in these categories: having plenty of data is like having lots of shoes. You know, like women, who have lots of shoes? is each pair of shoes the right size? Can it match with what she's wearing ... | |
| "Audiophile" Power Cables: The Greatest Audio Conspiracy Theory of All Time? Audiophile power cables? Try a power conditioner instead...if you want a real-world difference. Feed your audio systems and other electronics clean electricity from the start. Sure it’s true that power transformers in audio gear go though differe... | |
| Cheap Chromebook fine? Will the quality of the PC make an appreciable difference for me? A more powerful computer won't improve sound quality, but it will allow computer to "get out of tthe way." so to speak. that means - no computer fan noise (silent PC or lapto... | |
| What to listen for? You will hear fine details that are otherwise not audible on a lesser system. Bass - How tight or loose the bass is (including but not limited to its style and textural resolve) Can be described as boomy, full-bodied, etc. and of course being abl... | |

| Bad experience with an electrician @erik_squires lol brilliant great jokes on here think I might post some audio jokes one day | |
| Which DAC Filter - Fast or Slow? For me, slow. I mean, slow roll-off. headphone dongles, CD players that have that switch/option. This means the waveform will extend to 20 KHz or higher,, then slowly roll off. A brick-wall filter would cut off right at 20 KHz. Anything above 2... | |
| Educate me about DSD Some DSD sounds good. Some doesn’t. From a page online: WHAT ARE SOME DRAWBACKS OF USING DSD? The problem with DSD is that it is noisier and offers a more limited frequency range than comparable 24-bit PCM of a sampling rate >88.2kHz. As a 1... | |

I'll let them know! lol Viewing your system page makes me want to listen. The room correction, speaker placement, and room treatments. Lo... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @kota1 There are very few on the ASR forums, in my experience, that are highly experienced in acoustics and psychoacoustics. 100% true, however they LOVE to wrap themselves in psychobabble and consider themselves experts (in their own mind at ... | |
| How much does a DAC do the more expensive it is? @simao I don’t believe that cost alone is a catch all for DAC performance. I’m not suggesting that you are only saying this, just sharing what I think is right... I listened to a lot of DACs before deciding on the Pathos Converto MK1. Saving sp... | |
| Proof of improvements in audio system sound quality.... @digitalviper Thank you for the details. I did my homework. I remember reading quite a bunch of mahgister's posts when he was more active on the forums. He is certainly very passionate about this hobby and has invested a lot of his time and ener... | |
| Luxman vs. Luxman Ultimate I was wondering about this a while ago. I believe the answer is - the units with "Ultimate" written in red were more limited edition with even higher-quality parts. For example, the Luxman L-540 has an industrial-grade IE power transformer. Ver... | |
| Proof of improvements in audio system sound quality.... maghister is the disciple of millercarbon... LOL or was it the other way around?! Sorry I didn't catch that earlier. Well then, Good God. How did we get here?! is there an audio bible that mentions more "disciples" or the particular feats of e... |
