| Help settle a streaming argument! Boy we must nothing better to do, comparing cars in an audio thread :) Okay, coming off the heels of the last F1 of the year on the weekend, I'll bite :) In the mid 80's BMW had a 1.5 litre 4 cylinder formula one engine that produced over 1400 hp... | |
| Made Major Upgrade at $0 Cost in 1 Minute yes, but not my ears back then- you were talking about checking out REW with frequency/waterfall graphs/plots? Well back then those test tones were used with a db meter to check for nulls and peaks in order to balance the sound in a space. There a... | |
| Made Major Upgrade at $0 Cost in 1 Minute before there was such a thing called internet streaming I bought a Stereophile test CD with them on it as well. I still have it - it is dated 1990 :) edit: this is it stereophile test cd | |
| Made Major Upgrade at $0 Cost in 1 Minute Every now and then I run test tones to see how much lower my higher frequency senses have gotten- last I recall I was down to 14 kHz. if you are curious, and I am too to be honest :), run some test tones and see how high you can hear- if you hav... | |
| Made Major Upgrade at $0 Cost in 1 Minute I’m missing my hearing in high frequencies - sometime I can hear the hammer “clunk” hit a high piano note without hearing the note. Oh well, maybe for me a brighter sound is better. The highest possible frequency for a piano is under 5kHz. You ... | |
| Zafvino Silver Dart Graphene vs. ? +1 @ozzy Be open to rearranging your components to fit your power cables ! And using creative supports to keep them from falling out of the c14 inlets. | |
| Endgame Vocal+ DAC Help: Terminator Plus 12th vs. Chord DAVE vs. Holo May vs. Weiss502. Oh! And Blu-Tac for attaching speakers to stands. Seems weird, but if you cannot anchor them directly, the stuff works. The latest thinking in regards to speakers appears to be not to solidify, or couple them to the floor/stands but de-couple t... | |
| If the DAC is the same, how different do CD transports sound? @jasonbourne71 @robshaw What went down? Any plans here for jasonbourne to find the truth? Quite a generous offer for him. Related to this thread, to evaluate the difference a simple transport makes does anyone recall ever going to a Linn dealer... | |
| Weiss 501 DAC @celtic66 thanks for your reply. I wouldn’t expect anyone would do what you describe. But I can think of a few reasonable scenarios that could shed light on my question. I suppose another angle on this is to wonder about the relative contribution... | |
| Zafvino Silver Dart Graphene vs. ? I can't answer your question specifically, but related to many suggestions already given, I am using Acoustic Zen Absolute speaker cables yet Silver Dart power cords. No, I don't have a good answer why it ended up like that, but I am in no hurry t... | |
| anyone else getting phishing popups ? I always use Brave browser for the web, McAfee antivirus scans and removes all cookies, temp files etc once a week. Amazing how much crap accumulates in a week. Also this computer is for email and web only. So if it really gets slammed hard, I... | |
| USB Cable I'm thinking of going on Rennlist, 992forum, 911uk.com and posting: "Please don't spend high $ for a Porsche. Well made cheap Honda's work the same!" | |
| anyone else getting phishing popups ? You just missed my last post, but I am on a Macbook running Monteray 12.6.9. Here is a dropbox image of what it looked like when AVG caught the malicious redirect: AVG called it "URL: scam" you can see the Audiogon background as AVG didnt allow th... | |
| anyone else getting phishing popups ? Thanks for the responses. Just to clarify it is not just a popup, or any legitimate advertising, but an actual overtaking of the entire webpage and a redirect to a different one. The Audiogon tab gets removed on my Macbook, and a different one app... | |
| Testing Ethernet switch For your analogy, food is good because the recipe and ingredients are good. Not because some reviewer says so. Electronics are the same. But you are missing something critical: Ingredients are not just ingredients, the source or quality of ... |
