| Why Do You Post? I'm glad people are here to exchange ideas, primarily about music and music reproduction, and sometimes even on other topics. I've learned much about both here. The downside is I've learned about some aspects of human nature too. A small inconv... | |
| I don't want to beat a dead horse but I'm bugged. @russ69 I didn't say the measurements have to be great, they can just be good. Good is more than acceptable. | |
| I don't want to beat a dead horse but I'm bugged. Atmasphere has numerous posts about amplifier harmonic distortion and listener perception. Simply stated, vanishingly low harmonic distortion is not necessary. The harmonic spectrum and linearity of the distortion are more important. So whether... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Lush is still one of my favorites. On vinyl 4AD had many Porky Prime Cut masterings. | |
| Why Do You Post? OWG Enough said. | |
| I don't want to beat a dead horse but I'm bugged. The fact that one component can measure better than another isn't the point of my earlier comment. I believe audiophiles should not have to accept poorly measuring equipment. The tube equipment that I see measured in Stereophile actually measure... | |
| I don't want to beat a dead horse but I'm bugged. Rather than measures well, let's substitute reliability. Just for this example high reliability equipment works as designed every time and low reliability equipment only works 50% of the time. So wouldn't you want to move on from the equipment t... | |
| I don't want to beat a dead horse but I'm bugged. But isn't there enough gear that measures reasonably well and sounds pretty good that we can move on from poorly measuring equipment regardless of how it sounds? | |
| Sub Pairing With Harbeth 40.3 XDs You don't need a subwoofer(s), but a parametric EQ. For most pop/rock music the punch in the kick drum is in the mid-bass frequencies, say 100 to 160Hz. | |
| How do you judge audio components and speakers? Don't lose your cold, I'm just bustin' balls. (See I just did it again!) And you only BB people you like. You post a lot about what people don't understand about room acoustic that you've figured out. Plus how misguided others are to spend so ... | |
| How do you judge audio components and speakers? This may be an idiotic comment made by an ignorant person, but why don't you post updated pictures of your system and room? And yeah, I'm talking to you! | |
| How do you judge audio components and speakers? The power to weight ratio was my go to guide for high quality/high price items for years, but now I'm more interested in the shipping box. The material, number of layers. amount of foam, number of languages on the exterior and of course, size. A... | |
| How to keep albums playing at the same volume The software you're using for playback may have a setting. | |
| Go Ahead and Laugh at Me I'm not laughing because the rocker switch with the line and circle have stymied me more than once. | |
| Phono Stage upgrade to complement Dohmann Helix One Mk 2 Why not use two different phono preamps? It would allow flexibility to experiment with different sound profiles. |
