| High Performance Audio - The End? That's the attitude here at Definitive. Their extra sensory abilities alert them to Goolag, Microserf and Amoralzoners, and if you're not readily identifiable as someone susceptible to authoritative techno jargon with a Street of Dreams McMansion ... | |
| Best thing to get Main problem is this stuff is so specialized no one can advise without knowing an incredible amount of details. Like, how big a space? How many people? How loud? How compact/easily transportable? Does it have to look good or just sound good? Or ju... | |
| Game Changing Tweak fleschler, a man of distinction, writes:I agree with MillerCarbon more often and rarely with of the naysayers. As for the rest of you:If I removed from my system everything that cannot be adequately explained scientifically to the satisfaction of... | |
| Evolving from a avr to an av processor. Benefit? Actually sorry to burst anyone's bubble but the best for the money home theater has been done, and its awesome. https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/8367AVR or processor? The verdict is in: Neither. | |
| High Performance Audio - The End? His videos always leave me disappointed, and wondering if he really believes his own BS or is he just okay with selling his audience short. Because every time he gets the chance to tell people the truth he instead panders to their vanity, fear and... | |
| Dedicated audio circuit question about the breaker If you so much as look inside the panel you are doomed. Doomed I tell you. What state do you live in? I wouldn't come within two states if you even thought about looking inside a panel. This whole region of the known universe is threatened. The Tu... | |
| Hardwood floors vs carpets Rug. If you do carpet over hardwood don't let anyone find out about it. Ever. | |
| Help with blown tweeters/power issue 1. What do I need to do to assess the full extent of damage to the speakers? Most likely the voice coil got hot enough to deform or burned enough insulation to get stuck in place, which is why it makes only soft sound, but not hot enough to compl... | |
| My pet peeve: "revealing" speakers What I mean is that speakers that are revealing are also usually quite colored. They don't unveil a recording, they focus your attention by suppressing some tones and enhancing others.Try a pair of Moabs. Genuinely revealing. When you realize how ... | |
| 'Life Above 20kh' Research Paper, Harmonics (Overtones) Inadequate sample rate, yes. But oversight? Probably more like just your everyday engineering/marketing tradeoff. Happens all the time. What I find interesting is when I reported here that my deaf from birth Aunt Bessie could "hear" music it was m... | |
| Synergy Matching I've got a whole thread on the Moabs. Unfortunately like most threads here the people with nothing to add just love to add nothing and so you have to skip past the majority of posts to get to the ones worth reading. Even so there's a lot in there.... | |
| Synergy Matching Well then, sorry. Its just when I see "Synergy Matching" and "please share your component matching (speakers, amps, DACs) that you have finally attained that "Perfect Synergy/Sound" I figure its a guy looking for help with what I know to be a misl... | |
| To warm up or not to warm up, and...? Relax, its just the normal lack of reading comprehension. People can't read, don't get that AC Infinity is a name, they think its air conditioning, then one after another misconstrues until its one big mess. Welcome to A'gon, short for the agony o... | |
| Synergy Matching My approach to synergy is its bunk. Do yourself a favor, a great big favor that will pay dividends throughout your whole audio career, and give the concept of synergy some serious thought. Then banish it from your lexicon forever.The whole idea of... | |
| Do you really use the formula for speaker placement? The reason I ask is the Sumiko setup has you moving one "anchor" speaker for bass and then the other, and then making lots of little adjustments all by ear. Nothing about symmetry, nothing about equidistance. Since I know equidistance is essential... |
