| Takedown of pricey servers, streamers OCD HiFi guy There's very little logic in high end audio. It's luxury goods driven by emotions. The scenario you are laying out has been repeated endlessly. People without the necessary funds to play the game questioning others' expensive toys. Why even bo... | |
| What exactly is textural density?? It's related to inner harmonic intensity. If I have to explain it, you wouldn't understand. | |
| No Oasis For Dynamic Compression You're being overly dramatic. It's not that bad sounding a recording. At least the vinyl version I listen to. | |
| Which Component Has the Greatest Affect on Low-Level Listening Start with a very low noise room. A rule of thumb is that your ambient noise level should be at least half of your average music level. It's hard to get below 35dB ambient. | |
| Stereo systems are like Harleys When I first started riding I met any number of Harley enthusiasts and it was always chill. But at some point in the late 80s/early 90s I noticed a change. Suddenly there were these faux bikers who thought they were bad boys tooling around on $2... | |
| Bobby Whitlock YouTube video interviews bdp24, thanks for starting this thread. It's always a pleasure to read your thoughts on various musicians. I wonder though about the context of some of your drummer preferences. I would imagine that a drummer playing in an ensemble with multipl... | |
| Remarkably better sound possible with just 1 system component change? Who knows whether your room is an acoustic disaster or not? You can't really tell from a photo. My question is why do you even think a dramatic improvement is even possible? It's not like you have some entry level components. | |
| Rega RB3000 I'd save until I could get one of Rega's better turntables. I'd rather have a better plinth with the RB300 than the RB3000 with a lesser plinth. Ask your dealer about this. | |
| A question to the Sound Engineers out there Cavernous sound is created by reverb. Here's a primer on reverb history and use. Bricasti was founded by ex-Lexicon designers/engineers. Lexicon made the most widely used reverb devices, primarily the 480L. | |
| A question to the Sound Engineers out there A studio loudspeaker is a tool to be used by a technician. It doesn't have to be state of the art or even accurate. It just has to have a consistent sound. As an analogy, professional chefs don't need expensive knives and fancy pans to make won... | |
| The Vinyl Community's Mazzy's new "Cease & Desist" YouTube video. I always thought that then candidate Trump's use of "You Can't Always Get What You Want" was a masterstroke. Positioning himself as the "you get what you need" persona was also one of the few self reflected statements he's publicly made. Actuall... | |
| Newbie looking for some help The Sabrinas are not a good choice for room filling sound in a room as large as yours. Neither would the Martin Logans you're considering. Your room requires a high sensitivity/easy to drive loudspeaker with high volume capability. I suggest yo... | |
| Living room system: class A or AB amps? You will still get good sound from a cold class A design, it will just sound even better once warmed. That's true, to a lesser extent, with class A/B amps. Some amp manufacturers tout how their amps run class A up to certain wattage before switc... | |
| Acoustics and reverberation time For most domestic situations RT60 just doesn't come into play. The rooms are not large enough. | |
| What if any, is the difference between a band or a group? Absolutely no distinction between a band and a group. Although it's boy bands and girl groups, but that just the alliteration. But then there's the Gang of 4 and the James Gang, both historical references. But if you're looking for the ultimate... |
