| Is high-end audio dying, if not dead already??? A good watch is not only about telling the time anymore than an expensive luxury car is only about transportation. In a consumer focused society your purchases and the fetish like rituals that accompany them are a critical part of what defines an ... | |
| Allnic 5000DAC Art Dudley has reviewed three different D/As in 2014, a Luxman, Lector and Allnic. As measured by John Atkinson 2 of the 3 components are the worst measuring digital devices he has encountered (the Luxman actually measured very well). Art Dudley l... | |
| Remoding Speakers Has An Effect On Resale Value You're feeding your loudspeakers too much power and asking them to play too loud. How much bass do you think the woofer, even in Gemme's innovative design, can cleanly produce. | |
| speakers for listener with Tinnitus I don't have tinnitus so my knowledge is indirect, but would equalization with a selectable notch filter work? Find out where the ringing is frequency centered and apply a steep, narrow band filter. | |
| Concerns purchasing Vintage System? Are you looking to use this system, or just part it out for sale? Do they need to function as new, or do you just need to describe them as working?The Audio Research components are classic and can be refurbished at the factory. The same goes for t... | |
| Remoding Speakers Has An Effect On Resale Value It was only a few weeks ago that the sound of your speakers were "mind blowing".Your changes have completely altered the intended design of the loudspeaker. Unless the changes are reversible, you have significantly negatively impacted the value of... | |
| Quality system, make poor recordings sound better? If you have a largish and diverse music collection it ultimately comes down to being a balancing act. You don't want soft and pleasant, but you also don't want electron microscope grade resolution. Over time you'll learn what works best for you.To... | |
| Quality system, make poor recordings sound better? A good system should clearly highlight the differences in recording quality, but it shouldn't make a significant number of record sound so bad as not to be listenable. It would be kind of a foolish hobby to end up with an expensive system that mak... | |
| "Mr. Dynamite: The Rise of James Brown" Excellent documentary. | |
| The Plangent Process playback system? Huh? Cma39, you don't understand what the process tries to accomplish. Tape recorders add specific types of distortion to the music signal and the Plangent Process can analyze and remove some of these distortions. | |
| Do amps lose steam over time? Turn off all your equipment and disconnect all interconnects and cables. Clean all the contact points and then reconnect all the cabling. It also might help to have your ear canals cleaned.As to the amp losing steam, be sure to only use distilled ... | |
| Why blind listening tests are flawed Thanks Doggieh, that makes more sense to me. I'll go back and look at the article again. I usually like Art D's writing, I just thought he was being shrill and wondered why he was even writing on the topic. | |
| Why blind listening tests are flawed Art Dudley's is a big disappointment to me. He constructs a straw man model of blind testing and flails away. I simply do not get his analogy about art forgery. Is there anyone out there saying you should examine visual art blindfolded? Plus he ig... | |
| Similar sounding bands. Oasis doesn't really sound like the Beatles. They do sound a little like post-Beatles John Lennon or George Harrison. Few bands can ever live up to the hype and Oasis is no exception, but they put out some good music. | |
| Quality issues with Tekton speakers.... Thanks for the pics. I'm not sure if it would bother me, but I can understand it being a problem for others. I guess you could ask to exchange of drivers. |
