| How can a system be judged with highly processed, non acoustic music? It is a very good question mglik and one I have thought about a lot and first wrote about going back to the early 90’s. It is nowhere near easy with synth, but neither is it all that simple even with all minimalist recorded and classical acoustic ... | |
| On ''what there is'' Only thing obvious to me is you didn’t click the link. If you had you would see the title of the video is, "What There Is" and the first thing Alan Watts says is, "I’m going to talk about what there is." Which coincidentally is the title of your d... | |
| Why do components sound different? Wait, components sound different? I coulda sworn we decided it was all confirmation bias? | |
| Putting together a 2 channel system Once you get to a certain decent level, which you certainly are now, then the focus shifts to what are your goals longer term, and what can you realistically budget to achieve them? Because it simply does not pay to make a lot of baby steps. Much ... | |
| On ''what there is'' What does that have to do with anything? | |
| Who Were Your Mentors Stewart Marcantoni. I met Stewart when he was moving from the east coast to Washington. He had an on-line store Weekend Environments and was driving out west with a minivan stuffed full of high end gear visiting customers along the way. Seemed lik... | |
| If your down on your system… Do not try and bend the spoon. That is impossible. Instead try and see the truth: there is no spoon. | |
| On ''what there is'' One of the all time great Alan Watts talks! https://youtu.be/CJjOjKXSOCA?t=10 | |
| Drivers survived Is it just me or do others see the title and think Hamilton/Verstappen? | |
| I agree with Keef Brown Sugar, I honestly never really knew the full lyrics until now. The way I see it, the lyrics are not even germane. Not even in the least. What is germane, the one salient point, the Stones had a song so bloody famously popular it was not ... | |
| Why do components sound different? To me, they should not have any sound! They are merely passing the signal thru to the next device until they get to your ears from your headphones or speakers. Man this is the strangest thing. I could almost swear I heard this before somewhere.... | |
| Are Pre-Amps necessary? Good question OP. I have been wondering this myself for the longest time. Soon now thanks to you we will know. Already learned, 1v to clipping. Who knew!?!? This is off to such a great start, one can only imagine the many fascinating new things to... | |
| Tekton Double Impact Review Awesome. Tekton are indeed transparent. Mine are the most transparent speakers I have heard, period. This as you alluded to makes them VERY hard to get a handle on. Because they are so transparent, every single record becomes its own little wo... | |
| Townshend Springs under Speakers Nobsound will do 150lbs+ easy. $30. Springs outperform spikes, regardless of floor, period. Gaia outperform all spikes. But Gaia are only about the same as Nobsound, and not at all close to Townshend. Not just me saying that either. Search around,... | |
