| High End Audio-Gaining Higher Ground? Why do so many threads devolve into criticism of the younger generation? Is it a demographic thing with audiophiles being older, educated and predominately male mansplaining to the presumably ignorant? Ultimately, what's the difference between Gwy... | |
| Top brand speakers These sort of statements should set off our BS detectors. If your little voice inside says "something's not right here", pay attention to it. Actual proof is hard to come by, but at least expect (preferably independent) evidence and/or some sort o... | |
| What Exactly Does "Burn In" do for Electronics? I tend to agree with Jaxwired. Humans are extremely fallible regarding subtle sensory perceptions and despite what some people allege, high end audio is about subtle differences. This doesn't mean cable break-in doesn't occur, but that we should t... | |
| JA Perspecitve Stereophile review The review wasn't an over the top rave, but it was overall very positive. The way I took the review was that Stereophile thought the Perspective was a very good performing loudspeaker, but it's not a particularly high value. Not when compared to o... | |
| Top brand speakers It's possible that even you could achieve N-Dimensional sound with your equipment. It's not particularly dependent upon specific brands or designs of equipment. It's about setup and the use of logically derived synergies (LSD). It's been my experi... | |
| Top brand speakers I can understand some of the younger audiophiles being obsessed with achieving a 3D soundstage because that's all they know. I've been involved in audio since the mid-1970s and I have evovled beyond 3D, past 4D and I'm now experimenting with N-dim... | |
| World's best Pre-amp for $10K and above? Mapman, regarding your comments about the value of expensive preamps, here's a thread from a few years ago. | |
| Is it possible to have Good Imaging close to wall Mapman, I believe you are confusing acoustic reflections contained in the recorded signal with those reflections produced by playback in a room. One is part of the music signal and the other is a happenstance of a specific loudspeaker/room interac... | |
| Is it possible to have Good Imaging close to wall Reflected sound is not required for the decoding of soundstage/imaging information contained in recordings. If a loudspeaker adds extra treble, it's inaccurate. If a loudspeaker adds extra deep bass, it's inaccurate. If a loudspeaker adds spacious... | |
| The Power of Assumptions Kijanki, if it's all in one's head without regard to any physical reality, then why even have a audio system? Just listen to the music in your head. | |
| Is it possible to have Good Imaging close to wall If you placed your speakers outdoors they would reproduce the stereo information contained in the recording. The perception of recorded depth, if there is any in the recording, will not be effected. If a recording is relatively phase coherent, the... | |
| What is the best transport? Suppose you're not trying to get the absolute best quality sound, but only strive for really good sound quality. Let's say you're the equivalent of someone who doesn't adjust VTA/VTF for each record or doesn't label each album for absolute polarit... | |
| Is it possible to have Good Imaging close to wall If the rear wall reflection is so problematic, then why not eliminate it entirely. Speakers placed flush with the wall would have minimal reflections, or am I missing something? If you're interested in hearing the soundstage depth that's actually ... | |
| Apple and Beats? The headphones are a natural upgrade for Apple audio players, but the deal isn't about the headphones. It's about Jimmy Iovine. | |
| Subwoofer's Front Firing vs. Down Firing What you're not getting is that this forum is Bo's personal web space for hawking products that in his sole opinion sound good. With amazing consistency and dogged determination he uses the forum to promote products he sells. He does it openly and... |
