What are the current useless terms in this "audio world"
Porn”Star”. Why is it assumed that they are all stars?Isn't it obvious? Because they are in the milky way. If you pardon the pun, that cracks me up. 
Whats on your turntable tonight?
Currently I'm listening to direct to disc to give me an indication of what my system is capable of producing. Clare Teal With The Syd Lawrence Orchestra, Leader Chris Dean ‎– A Tribute To Ella Fitzgerald  is particularly nice. 
What do we hear when we change the direction of a wire?
MillerCarbonUpgrading crossovers is absolutely well worth the exercise.This link might be useful when deciding on capacitors: http://www.humblehomemadehifi.com/Cap.htmlResistor and inductors don't seem to have been tested, however I find Mundorf 1... 
What do we hear when we change the direction of a wire?
Now I am in the process of upgrading my crossovers. I know from experience there are huge gains to be made from using higher quality caps, inductors, and resistors. This is strange only in the sense that these are all specifically designed to ... 
Need definitions of: Dark; Warm; and Bright
Dark means the sun has set. Warm means that Summer is coming. Bright means you stop looking for word descriptions of what you hear. Bright means there is too much glare and it's time to get the sunglasses out.All these terms really suck and are... 
New WIREWORLD Eclipse 8 series FULL REVIEW
Hone of that highfalutin one one-upmanship for me. Sweet spot performance and sweet spot cost is the way to go.Custom length QED Revelation with Nakamichi 10mm locking banana plugs is about right.Anything more is overkill.Yes the QED Revelation... 
I’m also worried about how much of the harmonics in the music is LOST by the amp?
I’m also worried about how much of the harmonics in the music is LOST by the ampI don’t want gross harmonic distortion, but don’t abuse or lose the precious harmonics in the virgin recording either. Since you are specifically addressing amplifie...

Exactly! Where does the noise come from? It it mostly ripple on the DC supply? Is a massively over engineered supply helpful?  
I’m also worried about how much of the harmonics in the music is LOST by the amp?
I mean, signal to noise ratio would seem to be the most relevant stat in common usage, right?Even when it's below audible levels, I have always wondered if it can contaminate the sound.

speakermaster536 posts07-07-2021 The fine detail and harmonics is normally lost in the speaker and when you find a good one you will realize what you have been missing the whole time and keep an open mind because the good ones are not the new ... 
100 watts enough?
I'm wondering if you are being over cautious regarding the volume. A little louder could be acceptable depending on the construction material used between you and your neighbor. I'm in a similar situation (13x40ft) and I've found a good test is to... 
Need emergency help please!
Even though you are hearing a sound when the bluetooth connects perhaps the connection is not working. Have you rebooted the phone? Sometimes turning bluetooth off and then back on can make a difference as it creates a new connection. List the thi... 
Recommendations for speakers that sound great at lower volume levels.
What you need is an amplifier with the good old fashioned loudness control. Those old fashioned loudness on/off controls where at best only correct at a specific volume. Audyssey has a terrific loudness control that follows the Fletcher Munson ... 
Why is science just a starting point and not an end point?
Pedro, science has not failed at all. Science never really fails, although sometimes is takes can take indirect path. The question is why isn't it being utilized to test equipment? My point is this; if research into space can continuously revea... 
Class D amps seem poised to take over. Then what?
I had two NAD Purfi units in my house and neither stayed long.Ran hot, glitchy and hardware issues. Modern Class D amps like those from Hypex or ICEpower (used in many high end brands) are simply excellent performers, musical ruler flat frequ...
