| Why Are HI-RES Downloads So Expensive? Because Hi-Rez is another marketing scheme to get the gullible and neurotic to spend more money. Capitalism at its most predatory! And I am not kidding. Just stop buying until prices come down. I am pretty sure that when CDs came out they were ... | |
| Why are you into hi end audio? Have always spent a good amount of time listening to music so I want the best system/s that I can afford. Most things I buy quality and hang on to it, I still own my first real speakers (Koss CM1030) that I purchased when 17. They now reside in th... | |
| Double blind test- over a month- could this be a reliable test for any equipment? Summary of AES: Ten years of A/B/X Testing https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/aes-paper-digest-sensitivity-and-reliabil... | |
| Advice on compensating for hearing loss For movie/tv I would definitely suggest a center channel speaker. If you run an auto calibration go in manually and bump up the center channel until you get the effect you want.My dad is now 83. Several years ago he was complaining about not being... | |
| Double blind test- over a month- could this be a reliable test for any equipment? And the sound changes all by itself day to day, hour to hour, month to month. But if conducting the test over a month changes should average out. I would say if you cannot identify a difference in that scenario it is not worth the upgrade.I thi... | |
| Legacy Audio Focus SE compared to the Legacy Aeris Speakers I haven't ever listened to the Focus, but auditioned the Aeris & Whisper about six weeks ago. The Whisper with Wavelet were delivered a couple of weeks ago.Between the two the Whisper had a broader sweet spot and on some material seemed to fil... | |
| Did Fleetwood Mac's "The Chain" blow up my woofer? Fortunately, resistors in a crossover that go bad tend to turn black, along with nearby parts suffering from too much heat, so a visual inspection is often helpful. These are large ceramic power resistors. I don't think that they usually turn ... | |
| Did Fleetwood Mac's "The Chain" blow up my woofer? Here is a pic of the crossover, if you can get to it and have a meter I would ohm out those resistors.forgot linkhttps://www.buchardtaudio.com/shop/s400-black | |
| Soundstaging and Imaging: The Delusion about The Illusion BTW, I read the poorly written article. It would appear the author is as confused as most of the posters here. We are animals, who by design need to make sense of our experiences. No matter what technology, source or venue supplies the stimul... | |
| Soundstaging and Imaging: The Delusion about The Illusion Recordings are actually 360degrees. When you place the speakers in front of you that's what gives you the frontal stage. 2 speakers can easily give you the 360 sound, it's the room you're hearing keep in mind. Right, so by recording reverberati... | |

| What reviewers have been craving, built in hearing aids with TVs It's something that I have been mulling around with for awhile. I have been developing my own Windows & iOS FLAC players and could incorporate a software filter (going to need to brush up on my digital filters).Was thinking about getting a hea... | |
| What reviewers have been craving, built in hearing aids with TVs Has anyone ever considered applying a correction curve to compensate for hearing loss? | |
| CD ripper You can convert mp3 to flac or any other format, you just won't get any better quality and waste space. Can't recover what isn't there. | |
| CD ripper As far as CPU processing affecting quality of a FLAC, I am writing my own iOS & Windows Players and sitting hear watching Task Manager right now. CPU usage for my FLAC player is peaking at 0.6%. |
