| The Ultimate Audio Modification: Golden Ears Golden ears was made up to promote all audio reviewers to a higher pedestal. Is there such a thing as golden eyes for video? We all hear differently, and we all like different types of frequencies: some like a lot of bass, some like a creamy mid... | |
| JW Audio Signature Interconnect - I can't get anyone even to try them Even if I come over for an audition and they sounded fantastic, say the best I have ever heard, I would have to get them for almost nothing because I would never be able to sell an unknown name cable. I would have to think that I would own these c... | |
| Why on earth? There used to be a poster here on agon that evaluated speakers by listening to YouTube videos. He would also recommend speakers he heard using YouTube to others, claiming they were very good. I have never heard a YouTube video that I would trust i... | |
| Streamer Selection - Thoughts Requested Please! let me step in here. Audiotroy, you are wrong on many fronts and don't understand how hardware/software works. "electrictrical noise"? You bring up cpu's when you tried to explain noise. The cpu's that any 3rd party server uses are not specifical... | |
| Here comes the PS Audio's streamer -- anyone excited? probably the best streamer out there. Paul has it right, USB is the worst, I2S is the best, then Ethernet, but most people don't want to spend the money for a good dac with these inputs, they will be a cheap dac with usb and then spend hundreds if... | |
| Ethernet streaming Every review I’ve read about a dac with Ethernet and the dac I use with Ethernet has always sounded better with Ethernet, 2nd best option would be i2s, last would be usb. You don’t have to be a so called streaming audio specialist to know this. | |
| What do you hear with a better/bigger power supply and output capacitors in same amp? Music, not necessarily better | |
| Any Advice for those Listening to Youtube Reviewers? “It seems most people will never get that audio is not about the gear pieces but about how to learn to listen...”. IMO, if you know how to listen, you would know that the better equipment makes a bigger difference in sound quality! It’s like takin... | |
| Does it make sense to "ignore low ball offers"? Do you need to sell it? Are you desperate? If so then respond. If it’s a ridiculous offer I’ll respond with a higher amount than what it is listed for. Most of the time I don’t respond. House bids are different, the realtor has to submit the offer... | |
| Bad news for home theater enthusiasts Your network is the key. I have had gigabit networks for over 6 years and 4 of them were fiber. Fiber is the ultimate because it’s fiber which is much less noisy which you can see and hear in streaming, lowest latencies, and ultra low jitter. Als... | |
| Any Advice for those Listening to Youtube Reviewers? The OP is flat out wrong about the better internet reviewers. Kmart gear, really? Have you seen Jay's Audio equipment? Jay has spent more on room acoustics than most magazine reviewers paid for their reference gear. I would listen to the better in... | |
| Using biwired cables on speakers with only 2 connections “Bi-wire is nonsense”. This statement is nonsense! Nobody knows if the speakers you own will sound better if you biwire them or not. I tri-wire my speakers which are the same recommendations from the dealer/manufacturer recommend. Don’t let nons... | |
| And Awaaay We Go! 1 big sales pitch for each of his components. They get all of this equipment at a drastic savings and there was controversy over how much these reviewers get paid by the manufacturers to give them glowing reviews. I quit TAS and the other audio ma... | |
| Add External DAC or Upgrade to a New Streamer / DAC? Ap1-not true. Like others that have stated above, The best interfaces to a dac are Ethernet and i2s. Most dacs don’t include these interfaces except for the better ones. Toslink would be good except it limits what can be sent thru it. Nobody uses ... | |
| What speaker could safely be ordered without hearing it first? There is no excuse for not auditioning before purchase, unless you can get a dealer/manufacturer to send them to you with a 7 day return policy with no restocking fee. Somebody mentioned they wouldn’t fly because it would be an expensive plane ti... |
