| Lack of Female Representation I've been in the same home for 30 years now. Every couple years we have the septic tank pumped. Always without fail it is done by a man. Never once has a woman come out. At least with audio there are some women who are into it. Septic tank pumping... | |
| I had a few drinks and bought some speakers Drink and drive, why not? https://youtu.be/1huYsSOYlVo?t=125 | |
| At This Time Can We Recreate Full Range Live Music In The Home? If you are asking can any system play with all the dynamic volume and slam of a live drum kit, no. Which, interestingly enough is the answer to a related question: Would you want it if it did? NO! Are you nuts?!?! You know perfectly well how freak... | |
| Your favorite OCC speaker cable What is OCC? And why does it matter?? | |
| I have a macbook pro going into a benchmark DAC - what's the best upgrade path? Best upgrade path will be to search for an RIAA app to run the Mac as a phono stage for your ultimate upgrade, a turntable. | |
| I had a few drinks and bought some speakers Floor standing speakers are not a good candidate to sneak in the house. Understatement of the year. | |
| What do $2500 speaker cables sound like? Anyone wants to hear what cables can do, come on over. In speaker cables I have a nice selection of 2 levels of Synergistic and a Townshend F1. Interconnects I have Jungson, Synergistic and Townshend F1 at price levels from a couple hundred to sev... | |
| I had a few drinks and bought some speakers Got drunk and bought some speakers. What I like about this story, the speakers will be a whole lot easier to remove than a tattoo. | |
| Using 2 different brands of interconnects? If you have the patch cords that come in the box for free these are about as useless as the freebie rubber power cords and the twist ties and plastic bags they come in. I was in your position many years ago and wondering the same things and extrem... | |
| What's your favorite lyric from a song? If you should go skating on the thin ice of modern life, dragging behind you the silent reproach and a million tear stained eyes, don’t be surprised when a crack in the ice appears under your feet. You slip out of your depth and out of your mind w... | |
| Wanting to narrow the field for compatible speakers Have Eric build you some Ulfberhts with all Be tweeters, Duelund caps, Goertz inductors, Path Audio resistors, and Kimber 4TC. There should be plenty left over to put them on Townshend Podiums. Put all those other speakers to shame. To shame. Eric... | |
| What does clipping sound like? I think it is mistrackingNo kidding. What I said. Ralph was also on the right track.Question now is, Why? Are we certain we are tracking at the correct VTF? | |
| High expectations when listening to an orchestra There’s no way you can come close to that experience with your equipment. Diapers! Er, what I mean is, depends. One time way up high in a back balcony at Benaroya Hall I was struck by how much this sounded like my system at home. Violin sounded ... | |
| What does clipping sound like? Absolutely no idea what is going on here. Except for one thing: "when the music swells". When the music swells is called a crescendo. | |
| What does clipping sound like? Clipping happens only at max output. So if it is not high volume then it is not clipping. If it happens when the music swells, that is a high amplitude signal in the source regardless of the amount of amplification. So this could be as simple as a... |
