| What your choice speakers with spikes or speakers with a vibration isolation device? I am in the camp of vibration isolation. I think it makes sense that the less energy transfer into the floor goes into the air. I found these really cool magnetic isolation feet that I’ve never seen before. So these really cool magnetic isolation ... | |
| Why is it so good? Apple lossless is pretty good. Nowhere near as good as even a budget turntable, but pretty darn good. Especially considering its basically free, being that it comes bundled with every Mac. Which probably is a lot to do with it. Imagine you had to ... | |
| Width of Stage All that matters is the analog bandwidth, jitter, channel to channel timing jitter, and signal to noise ratio assuming the sampling rate is sufficient to capture the analog and allow reasonable analog filters.No room for a full course on the histo... | |
| Width of Stage @millercarbon I don't disagree at all. Good to know. Thanks.btw it should go without saying this site has the worst spell check anywhere ever. It turned "dig" into "did" and "yards" into "years". Oh well.One question for sabrejet about the stage... | |
| Width of Stage This is gonna trigger some people but you posted this in tech talk so let's talk tech. The auditory cues that allow us to localize sounds and create the sound stage in our minds are fundamentally timing in nature. There's frequency involved and a ... | |
| families of audio concepts, mixing, and listening As I recall there's always been a range of approaches to amps, speakers and recording that makes it risky to generalize. Especially when not only the technology but the standards have changed so much. When I started out in the early 1970's there r... | |
| 2 amplifiers connected to 1 set of speakers Good answer. Impressive, even. I would however want to be ready with the follow-up, "But what if they're both on?" | |
| Cheap starter system for kids A friend who is definitely not an audiophile has two kids who have gotten into vinyl using some junky all-in-one turntables that just now broke. What part of "definitely not an audiophile", "two kids" and "just now broke" goes with $500 turntable?... | |
| Simple question, or is it... Can't touch this. | |
| 2 amplifiers connected to 1 set of speakers She asked me why it wouldn’t be ok and I started babbling that the signal from one amp would then travel through the other set of connected cables into the amp that was not in use. Even if the other amp was off that could be problematic. If the ot... | |
| Speaker manufacturers or box manufacturers with off the shelf drivers? It really helps everyone understand where you are coming from and the extent of greatness with regards to being the number one imaginary speaker designer / builder of our era! Indeed. And now, in appreciation of audiophiles the world around, the f... | |
| Speaker manufacturers or box manufacturers with off the shelf drivers? By the way kenjit that wasn’t some totally random detached from reality flaming wild guess. "A concrete box 100 inches thick all the way around", which is what you said, really is 151 yards of concrete and really does weigh 307 tons. Its a fact. Y... | |
| New Tweak --- Its Fantastic No longer in business. Sorry. | |
| What do you think causes the crackle and clicks we hear? I believe Atmasphere draws a link between how audible and annoying they are with phono stage overload characteristics. When really its a function of moving mass and resonance. | |
| Simple question, or is it... Maybe. Depends on your level of understanding.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IGhDkh972Zg |
