| Audio Science Review = Rebuttal and Further Thoughts @fleschler However, the older DACs can be upgraded to have that 3 dimensional, full bodied and warmer sound with modification of parts. The engineering is sound as is the basic construction. I didn’t know that. You have previously commented o... | |
| Audio Science Review = Rebuttal and Further Thoughts @prof Someone gets it, actually reading what I’ve written. Yeah, not just reading but in appreciation. There remain a few here who have an IQ above double digits who are grateful and feel blessed for your patience and thoughts and gentle dis... | |
| Audio Science Review = Rebuttal and Further Thoughts Amir returned to add his two cents-what his comments are worth here I found Amir’s many considered comments very informative and valuable. And now they are all forever gone at the whim of AG. This has happened many times before on this forum. ... | |
| Nearly all manufacturers do not advertise/exhibit their product measurements? Why? @overthemoon The reason is likely based on manufacturer- ultimately because the customer that buys there stuff doesn’t care if they aren’t publishing measurements. This is also quite correct and you share a truth. What is missing from this t... | |
| Nearly all manufacturers do not advertise/exhibit their product measurements? Why? @ebm Because nobody cares much. And that's the way the manufacturers and the vested interests on this forum want this situation to remain. They are going all out to discredit outfits which conduct careful measurements, its pretty obvious ev... | |
| Used gear prices and the state of the hobby. @nonoise I’m talking about the intentional misuse of information Yes, that is actually very much caught by asymmetric information. The Lemons thing was in part based on the market for used cars. and not the natural tendency to hold differen... | |
| Used gear prices and the state of the hobby. @nonoise Asymmetric information... Sounds like what's behind a lot of societies woes. I am in disagreement with you - this has been a feature of civilization and human interaction since time dot and without this there would be just dust like... | |
| Sad songs- We love them- We need them That’s the way - Led Zeppelin Robert would later (with LZ and solo) sometimes write some lyrics where he expressed some quite profound sadness, more in the form of tributes. | |
| Used gear prices and the state of the hobby. @nonoise 6moons had a piece on a Chinese vase valued at €1,500 to €2,000 and it ultimately went for €9,000,000 on Sotheby's. 300 idiots got into a bidding war and the rest, they say, is history. One can't account for taste, or temperment. Wit... | |
| Used gear prices and the state of the hobby. @twodogs112 Do so at a selling price not what it costs you when you bought it. Despite much pseudo-economics and handwaving and yelling at clouds on this thread, yes, that is a gem. In economics what you paid for something is called a sunk cos... | |
| Schiit v Topping According to Stereophile, Pre90 has 2K ohm input impedance. Based on the 10 to 1 accepted guideline, be very sure that the output impedance of the source (DAC or other analogue input) is less than 200 ohms. Preferably much less like 100 ohms, for... | |
| Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing Talk about audio (however defined) on this esteemed forum. There are many issues to explore and many wonderful contributions. Address the many questions raised. What is with this with character assassination? That is what inexperienced and pueril... | |
| Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing A rather disappointing reflection on some of the regulars here who if they continue in their childishness the mods will likely delete this entire thread. | |
| Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing Blushing, I was kinda jesting about point 1. Testing equipment is of course more than sufficient, and Ralph's considered comment is important. | |
| Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing @mapman The ones that come to mind are: 1) the published measurements are not sufficient or accurate enough to be useful 2) The user does not know how to properly apply the measurements 3) The user simply does not care and prefers to rely o... |
