| Quantum Science Audio Thread The fuse is NOT there to protect the component! The fuse is there to protect the HOUSE! This is a false premise.The fuse in the device stops it from drawing too much current and destroying its components.It is the circuit breaker in the power b... | |
| Roon for high end audio? I'm not at all convinced streaming can ever match a self contained system.Streaming is all about convenience and should never be measured against Sound Quality.What are your best sound sources? | |
| I feel bad for GenX'ers that missed out on the 60s and 70s. I feel sorry for them for a totally different reason. Egocentric children were deplored not encouraged. Consequently the number of egocentric children that developed into adults were few and far between, not in plague proportions as they are today... | |
| Bass sensation like a loud car system in home? millercarbonOne-note loud car system or audiophile quality loud car system?It does seem incompatible. Having said that, what about setting the subwoofer 18 dB louder than it needs to be. That might just about do it. | |

| Paper Cones in HiFi? Here's an interesting video that shows how the shape of cones can be distorted. I can only imagine what might happen to the sound.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T2pvz6RDBCE | |
| My battle with sibilance. I found a fix that has massively improved the clarity of my hearing, be it live or recorded.The hairs in the outer canals of my ears were the culprits as they are long, thick and rigid. Normally hairs are unlikely to have any impact when they ... | |
| $2000.00 to spend on new speakers. I recently heard a pair of Dali speakers that were in the $2k range that were impressive. I like the material of their cones.Here's an interesting video that shows how the shape of cones can be distorted. I can only imagine what might happen to... | |
| AVR: Internal 2 CHANNEL AUDIO MODE. OR: HT BYPASS (external equipment for 2 CH Sources) I went to the extreme with identical monoblocks and similar speakers on all channels. A lot of people consider the center speaker unimportant, but if it is not good as the main speakers the sound quality is going to be compromised. In my mind, the... | |
| My battle with sibilance. This is probably totally off field. Although it could be similar.In my case I found that a combination of certain close frequencies and intensities interacted to create a tinny sound. To give you an idea of the range, Kiki Dee in particular sounde... | |
| Mix and match subs? Strangely I've done both. My second sub was the same as my first and they are placed at the front. After reading about the benefits of four, I purchased a pair for my rears that might be considered inferior. To be honest, the improvement is terrif... | |
| So how much do you think the placebo effect impacts our listening preferences? Influencers are the bane of society and most social media sites aren't that far behind.As millercarbon rightly points out, be honest and don't feel compelled to agree with the garbage you are being bombarded with on a daily basis. | |
| Townshend Maximum Supertweeters My experience is that supertweeters make ports superfluous. Blocking them with bungs makes the bass even clearer and more defined. In any case, if you have subs you certainly don't need ports to extend the bass. Some subs have ports to extend the ... | |
| I’m also worried about how much of the harmonics in the music is LOST by the amp? Here's an interesting study.Inaudible High-Frequency Sounds Affect Brain Activity: Hypersonic Effecthttps://b01fe120-8355-4a65-8abc-c8b51b6192cc.filesusr.com/ugd/d25f4f_a07d2fffb4244c4aa3341eb3c12e1e3... | |
| List a Condition you know of that will produce Better Sound One speaker no crossover !!! One speaker that goes from 15Hz -150kHz.Perhaps crossovers at line level might be better with one amp per speaker. |
