| Do you think you need a subwoofer? @rauliruegas It is phase and time. The Australians call it " launch time" The sub has to be in phase with the main speakers and the signal from the main speakers and subwoofer have to reach your ears at exactly the same time. Changing only the ph... | |
| Lotus Harmonic Enhancer by Tombo Audio @paradisecom Indefinite. @sgordon1 Let this be a learning experience. That is quite the d-l-o. Other than rattle it does absolutely nothing to improve sound quality. Expectation bias is a very powerful human instinct and it can fool us in any nu... | |
| Are You A Disciplined Audiophile? @deep_333 I am not arguing at all with the measurements. Most audiophiles when they talk of breaking in what they really mean is "sounds better" The measurements changed so that means the driver now sounds better. If the enclosure was designed aro... | |
| Are You A Disciplined Audiophile? @deep_333 Thank you for the video and a great example of how you can tilt anything to your perspective. His routine for measuring TS parameters is quite valid except for the driver being held in a very loose manner. It should be locked in place on... | |
| All new electronics, now new speakers (Totem or Fyne?). The Faynes are excellent. You need to get a second subwoofer and a two way crossover for them to really sing, especially if you like a bass forward system. High passing the Faynes will lower distortion and give you at least another 6 dB of headro... | |
| Rediscovered My album collection. Where to buy online. Acoustic Sounds, Music Direct, Amazon (their packaging has improved), Elusive Disc, Bandcamp and HD tracks for digital. I go wherever the music is. | |
| Are You A Disciplined Audiophile? @mahgister is right to question my motives. I am either very arrogant, a troll, or perhaps I'm trying to bring some sanity to this hobby. I expect to piss people off because I do not try to avoid it. If that makes me arrogant to mahgister then so ... | |
| Speakers replace or improve? You are in a difficult situation. Pushing your speakers to produce more bass is going to increase distortion and rob you of headroom. Your main problem is where you live. If you want to improve your bass you will require a new living situation. Ha... | |
| Are You A Disciplined Audiophile? Disciplined? There are very few components that actually change for the better with age. "Break In" in an illusion of weak minded audiophiles who can not get it through their heads that human sensory systems accommodate to stimuli. Equipment does ... | |
| Turntable advice @dan_springer, by all means stay with your dealer. Before you buy anything I think you should learn as much as you can about the physics of playing a record. There are also some quirks with the market you should understand. One good one is the pri... | |
| Sota Sapphire and Isolation? ABSOLUTELY NOT! The Sapphire is an extremely stable turntable. All it needs is a sturdy shelf, nothing more. You will make it very difficult to use if you try placing it on an isolation platform. I own a Cosmos now and ran a Sapphire for 40 year... | |
| Is There a New Record Pressing Machine Out There? The platter does not make noise. The Cosmos uses a magnetic thrust bearing. If you had a noisy turntable tight clamping might transfer noise better. With quiet turntables vacuum is a net positive. The wandering pitch of a record that is not flat i... | |
| In-Room responce measurement with Legacy Focus SE speakers @erik_squires I the Earthworks Mic. It is not USB, but it does not require a calibration curve because it is dead flat and smoothly omnidirectional. | |
| Speakers, speaker cables or I’m getting old… @toddcowles The whole unit had to be designed around a new processor, COVID damage. It was released for beta testing 3 weeks ago. very high resolution EQ is coming. The only thing they completed before releasing the units was the correction softwa... | |
| In-Room responce measurement with Legacy Focus SE speakers @amtprod There is no such thing as overdoing it. The more you kill what the room is doing the more you will hear what is in the recording including the third dimension, which is not the sense of depth as in distance it is the sense that the instru... |
