| Do we really know what "Live" music sounds like? Yes. I don’t care much for the suggestion of a salesperson playing something in the store. That could be a very forgettable experience. [edit - and now I read @feldmen4 thought. Quite so.] Another rather el-cheapo option - seek out a church (h... | |
| Chi-Fi in the Time of Self-Righteous Indignation. "Chi-Fi is CHINESE HI-FI, Hi-Fi made in CHINA. nothing more, nothing less." Consistent with my rant about signal theory on the previous page here, yes. Its a label. A phrase (or word) describing a characteristic of something, which conveys som... | |
| Share albums where EVERY SINGLE song is good I wonder what else we've forgotten? The William Shatner, Don Johnson, Bruce Willis and Russell Crowe Quartet. | |
| Chi-Fi in the Time of Self-Righteous Indignation. @russ69 Do not discount the Chinese they are finding the sweet spot of acceptable quality. It will only be a short time before Chinese hi-fi dominates the market. I agree with you. A few short years ago I probably may not have. As I write this ... | |
| Chi-Fi in the Time of Self-Righteous Indignation. @nonoise By the way, what happened to the other threads on this subject? Were they deleted for convenience sake or did someone take umbrage? I'm just speculating and I could be wildly wrong, but perhaps it was because certain folk here couldn... | |
| Chi-Fi in the Time of Self-Righteous Indignation. W Jennings provides a topical example of something that is prevalent in many aspects of decision making - summed up succinctly in what is broadly known as signalling theory. All life forms rely on fairly rudimentary signals to make surprisingly i... | |
| Aqua 'La Diva' ($9k) or Gryphon 'Ethos' ($39k) versus. Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 T ($3k)? Boys, get your own room. | |
| Aqua 'La Diva' ($9k) or Gryphon 'Ethos' ($39k) versus. Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 T ($3k)? @erictal4075 I have the Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 T feeding via AES/EBU a Holo Audio ’MAY’ KTE version DAC I think that’s a pretty good start in my modest opinion. This is on my wish list for later this year. The ability to mix and match at this le... | |
| What's a reasonable listening position response curve? I don't understand the statement that sound quality is 110% determined by frequency response. That's impossible. | |
| Share albums where EVERY SINGLE song is good AC/DC - Back in Black Rach 3 Regina Spektor - Begin to Hope Adele - Bad for Good (forthcoming, hat tip to Jim Steinman) | |
| A question of metal type; the value of matching RCA phono plugs to sockets ? I use some silver coated banana plugs for their conductivity. I have not done any A/B tests and nor is there any warranty etc issues. Knowing full well that they will oxidize, its no issue replacing them (easy) way down the track or perhaps a qu... | |
| ''Óriginal parts'', ''identity '' and ''retip'' conundrum By definition, basic cost benefit analysis is a process of examining a variety of combinations and scenarios where there are costs and associated benefits. This can be accounting. The total benefits outweigh the total costs. However - What is th... | |
| What makes the biggest difference in sound quality? Especially if you have Lead in your ears. The question was framed in such a manner so as to specifically not ask about hearing, auditory perceptions or any possible psycho-acoustic effects. This was possibly accidental, of course. | |
| ''Óriginal parts'', ''identity '' and ''retip'' conundrum @dover Finally when the horse became elderly and quite distressed, my grandfather decided to put it out of its misery. Your grandfather sounds like he was a very tolerant and forgiving man, in the circumstances. What an exceptionally dumb ho... | |
| Best speakers around $130k? Anyone who says otherwise is probably just pissed off about capitalism. Imagine a bureaucracy briefed with designing and building a speaker that they would put on the market for $130,000. Committees, consultants, white boards, regulations, en... |
