| MoFi controversy Lot of passion in the reactions. Few observations of mine on my expeirence with the mofi I have (2000s): *In every case when I have original LP, the original is far superior *In every case, the mofi is much hotter than theoriginal *In every ca... | |
| Which pair of speakers changed your Hifi life? I think this might be the least useful of all the advice here... The first "revelation" speakers for me were my Voigt pipes. (I built them based on Derek Walton's Voigt pipes.) Used them for two decades until the surround gave up. (Cloth surround... | |
| Higher sensitivity - more dynamic sound? @charles1dad Thank you Charles, you summed it up wonderfully! Janos | |
| Higher sensitivity - more dynamic sound? Think of it this way, it is a combination of the loudspeaker and the amplifier that creates the dynamic range: 102dB/Wm sensitive speakers unpackage 102 dB range from 1W source material. From the same 1W source material 82dB/Wm speakers unpackag... | |
| The Future of Hifi is just being Discovered I think the point of the article was missed, which is conductors with liquid electron flow. Currently it's possible under extreme circumstances, but as OP said it's the birth of a new era, and not yet practical implementation. When this technolog... | |
| Help me spend $6000 At this point the biggest improvement will be a new circuit breaker panel and dedicated AC lines. ; | |
| Interesting ASR review of small GR Research speaker kit I have watched it up to minute 10 - by then Amir showed the freq graphs, and gave his opinion on them. I have noticed this his measurements are sound, but his interpretation is flawed. Amirs frequency measurements confirmed Dannys. However, he pl... | |
| New 55,000 Euro tonearm Quotes from the link: Gomez's raison d'etre is fierce: "You will never find magic ingredients or bullshit in my designs. I cannot make magic, only the best of what science, technology, and my imagination have to offer today." & Gomez firmly... | |
| What are we objectivists missing? The current measurements were designed to measure instrument operational stability in an artificial normalized environment with artificial normalized signals. So, the operation of the amplifier is measured in a Platonic setting (ideal dead resist... | |
| HT & Stereo System Fuel Shortage Coming According to Grid Operators @ghdprentice @artemus_5 I'm embarrassed to live in the state of HI, with the power plant just recently converted to the crack-cocaine of energy sources - from coal to oil... Although, both have to be shipped in here, and I suspect easier to sh... | |
| New Coincident Frankenstein 300B Stereo Version @charles1dad @brownsfan Thank you for your kind words, indeed, big part of my audio journey was working on myself, on how I listen to music and what I hear. Of course, we don't need to learn to enjoy music, anyone with a pair of ears can bask ... | |
| New Coincident Frankenstein 300B Stereo Version A little observation on bass: This appears to be a unique US phenomenon that good bass is almost always equated to "tight" or "super-duper tight" (aka overdampened) bass. While we can observe overdampened bass in real life in recording studios, ... | |
| Horn speakers are really bright? My experience with horns: Sadly, I was not exposed to mid and low level horns in serious hifi setting. Although I'm not sad about it, neglecting and not playing around with mid-level stuff. My experience goes for VOTT & few other other Altec... | |
| Quest for an external Dac has resulted in me way down the rabbit hole If you like PSAudio, then I would warmly recommend being on the look for a used older PSAudio DAC, like the DL/III or UltraLink II. When they show up, you can expect around 500$. Do not be put off that they are older models. They play music, and ... | |
| Albums you do not get...a plea for help and understanding That's the wonderful thing about music, there are so diverse tastes, they often change over time, so it's totally natural not to "get" a vast chunk of recorded music. My addendum to the issue: The audio gear bears a VAST impact on how wide your ... |
