| why do we argue? Boggs? Did I say boggs instead of Higgs boson?(hiGGS+BOson=boggs)Another example of unlicensed poetic license.I should type slower.All the best,Nonoise | |
| why do we argue? It's quite the discipline to analyze a situation before speaking as well as Bryon and Al do. Weigh the facts, consider the angles, draw insight, analyze still more, and compare before posting. This has all been like a min-classroom in critical thi... | |
| why do we argue? Al, Great point you make about the black and white nature of the sides. There is an admitted bias to the article but in defense of the author, she made it clear which side she is on and how she feels about it.Mapman,We all have our Jekyll and Hyde... | |
| why do we argue? Can it be that this thread prompted this article?http://www.positive-feedback.com/Issue62/subjectivist.htmSee, we do contribute, even by arguing.All the best,Nonoise | |
| I'm back now to my CDP Thanks, again, all, for the responses.Mapman,While at the Newport Audio Show I ran into a guy who simply had a Dell notebook, running some music app (J River?) and he played it through a Schiit Bifrost (which I use on my iMac) and it sounded reall... | |
| Big changes ... down the road My 'big' change was going back to my CDP after experimenting with some old ICs I had (lots of spare time thanks to a layoff). It simply blew away the computer rig I was tinkering with. It's on another thread in the digital section.Sometimes that '... | |
| New Room Long wall or short wall? I'm with Ivan on this one: try the long wall first. My room is close to the same size as yours and I use the long wall as well. My speakers are about 10.5' apart and 1.5' out from the front wall and I sit about 7' back with my head very close to t... | |
| I'm back now to my CDP Thanks guys for the support. I feel like I just went through some 12 step program as I figured this out.I, too, was perusing the ads for a better CDP after posting this thread but the really good ones still cost more than I can afford and this TEA... | |

| Outstanding Service from Logitech Sounds like Logitech is to audio what Keurig is to coffee makers. I only wish a lot more companies would model their customer service after these two. They would have loyal customers forever.All the best,Nonoise | |
| Cayin TA-30 Operating Instructions/Biasing It's very unfortunate that Paul Grzybek of Tube Audio Design passed away as he modded all the TA-30 units he sold to where they were easily biased from the outside. He mentioned that unless you know what you're doing, it can be quite dangerous. I ... | |
| Quietest fan for room I have two of those Vornados and believe me, they are not quiet, at least in the bedroom. The one I have in the living room is further away from me than the one in the bedroom but it still interferes with the music.They do, however, a great job at... | |
| Hearing Tests I think Lowrider57 may be onto something. My mothers hearing got more sensitive to higher frequencies although her hearing acuity, overall, got worse.There are very few bright recordings that tend to annoy. It's usually a bad recording (that old '... | |
| Hearing Tests Audiosampling,I scored great up to 13Khz and then all bets were off. I could, however, detect down to 1db difference with 100% accuracy and down to a 10c pitch difference with 100% accuracy as well. I guess somethings work and make up for others t... | |
| Hearing Tests Kr4,I'm the first to admit that there is some expectation bias. This is where a blind test is the only real way to assess hearing ability, but it does give one an indication of just how lousy one's hearing can be....:-)All the best,Nonoise |
