| Test @lanx0003 The criticisms I’ve heard of the Mercury sound in general are that it is ’dry’, it lacks a lot of warmth from the venue! That probably stems from the relatively close positioning of the microphones in relation to the conductor? I hav... | |
| Test @mrdecibel What I find the engineers, producers and the artists do right, and this requires a very fine ear, is the ability to take each individual track (studio recordings specifically) and synchronize it all, resembling each performer playing... | |
| Flatscreen between speakers @shooter41 What an arrogant response. "Where it belongs" is your opinion, not a fact. Agreed - I was hoping for a sensible response! | |
| Flatscreen between speakers @ticat my experience has lead me to believe that 2 channel and HT have no business being seriously pursued in one room Could you please list where you see the incompatibilities? Personally, I find 2-channel severely limiting for classical mu... | |
| Flatscreen between speakers @elliottnewcombjr Don’t Skip a Center Speaker, even if it has to be small, or behind something, try one There are very good reasons for not using a centre speaker, especially one which is in effect a horizontal d’Apolito array! As soon as you... | |
| We Need To Talk About Ones And Zeroes @yoyoyaya Unfortunately, I am old enough to remember the launch of CD. An astonishing 10 bits (roughly) are used for every 1 bit of the signal. The claim is that errors can be detected and corrected for up to 4,000 consecutive bit errors, and ... | |
| We Need To Talk About Ones And Zeroes @deep_333 where some dudes are telling him that there is no musical information below 30hz (facepalm) and a sub getting down to 10hz is meaningless... The organ in the Sydney Town Hall has a 64-foot pipe which can be felt if not heard at abou... | |
| We Need To Talk About Ones And Zeroes @devinplombier this blog post by Benjamin Zwickel - the founder and designer of respected DAC manufacturer Mojo Audio - who is considerably more qualified than I to dissert on the subject I ploughed through the article and quickly guessed tha... | |
| We Need To Talk About Ones And Zeroes @mapman So the network needs to have sufficient bandwidth for the job. That’s pretty much a given with modern home network technology If you are streaming over the internet, you should also include the myriad of servers, routers and connecti... | |
| We Need To Talk About Ones And Zeroes @devinplombier A person relies extensively on cut-and-pasting at the risk of appearing lazy and unintelligent. ... we all have access to google AI and we would know how to query it if we felt like it. Doing it on our behalf adds no value and m... | |
| We Need To Talk About Ones And Zeroes @devinplombier together with all the AI-generated nonsense @richardbrand has been cut-and-pasting in this thread Google AI has access to all the nonsense on the web, including yours, but it is intelligent at processing the entire content. If... | |
| Unusual countries for audio gear @foggyus91 Not relevant here, but rather surprisingly, Australia does export snow-making machines to Switzerland. Climate change is making snowfall less reliable in both countries. On the Supercars, they started as genuine production cars you ... | |
| We Need To Talk About Ones And Zeroes So I asked Google AI "how does TCP/IP correct for packet loss and corruption"? UDP/IP does none of these things. I have added italics: TCP/IP uses mechanisms like checksums, sequence numbers, and retransmission to ensure reliable data delivery,... | |
| Unusual countries for audio gear @foggyus91 Thanks for the compliment about my adopted country, which by and large is hot! One of the themes here is that cold climates might induce more thoughtful designs. I found out through this forum that the coveted Dohmann turntables are... | |
| We Need To Talk About Ones And Zeroes @cleeds Qobuz is correct - analog audio is just a series of sine waves (and cosines). Qobuz would be correct if that is what they said, but it ain't. My quote was precisely copied from their website "An analog audio signal is composed of a ... |
