What is the least compressed signal?
geoffkait:">>>>No loss in sound quality except for the compression, I.e., loss of dynamic range. And just to clarify a common misconception, aggressive compression does not (rpt not) provide benefits to resolution or any other audio ch... 
Help in hooking up a sub woofer.
246810:" I would want to keep a direct connection to my current speakers and run another direct connection from my amp to the sub. Is that an electrical reasonable method?Hello 246810,    What gillatgh stated is correct, your only choice is to get... 
The omitted link, how important is it in the total R.O.I?
     My opinion is that room treatments for midrange, treble and sound stage imaging are very important, especially first reflection points on the side walls when dynamic speakers with typical dispersion patterns (non dipoles) are utilized.  Some ...

    ddjr,    MP3 is considered a Lossy audio codec.  This is a compression technique that does not decompress audio files to their original data amount. Lossy methods provide high degrees of digital compression, which results in smaller files but ... 
Help in hooking up a sub woofer.
Hello 2468100,     No offense but the PSB Subseries 150 at $499 seems like a bit of a toy compared to similarly priced alternatives.  It only outputs bass down to 26 Hz and you want a sub that goes down to at least 20 Hz.     I suggest you return ... 
What system can adequately reproduce the sounds of a tanker being hit by torpedo ?
Silly and pointless?  Herding cats?     Boy, that sure brings back memories for me when I worked at a cat ranch during summers between college years.  We rode ligers (a cross between a male lion and a female tiger) with small saddles and used squi...

Hello dawgbyte,     If you're looking for the best deal on an LG 65" OLED 4K hdtv,  I'd be looking at the LG OLED65B8PUA model. It's a 2018 model and you'll need to look closely at the features to make sure it has everything you want/need but you ...

What is the least compressed signal?
     I agree, if readers here can't even agree that CDs generally have compressed dynamics mainly due to the Loudness Wars, and conscious decisions made by the recording engineers to compromise good dynamics for higher volume, then we either all g... 
Answer me this...
Bingo!    A good solution would be to attach a Master Source (MS) or master provenance for each reissue and have all artists, starting yesterday, record any new tracks direct to at least 24Bit/96KHz digital which has a Signal/Noise Ratio of 144dB ... 
Television technology - where are we?
teo_audio,     I didn't know that about 4K scans of 2K movies.  It reminds me of redbook cd transfers of 16bit/44.1KHz content to 24bit/96KHz FLAC and WAV files, without a master provenance history, that some companies like HDTracks scam consumers...

    Did you ever contemplate the notion that kosst somehow just might benefit by having his life ruled by numbers?For example, I know kosst's wife numbers all his underpants with the number "1" and all his pants with the number "2" due to some emb... 
Television technology - where are we?
     I bought a Panasonic VT60 series 65" plasma 1080P hdtv in 2014 knowing Panasonic was exiting the plasma hdtv market due to manufacturing costs of producing plasma 4K hdtvs likely causing them to be priced out of the market.     I'm so glad I ... 
SWARM / Multi subwoofer questions
Hello haywood310,     I think going from one Hsu ULS-15 sub to two is a very significant improvement that begins to smooth out the perceived bass response peaks and dips in the room, increases maximum bass impact, reduces the bass production requi...
