| Blown Crossover or Speake Classe audio and Energy Speakers Over-powered drivers can still feel fine, even when blown/burned. The voice-coil doesn’t always deform enough to drag the magnet poles. A driver's lead-in or voice-coil wires will open up, almost as often. Remove a woofer(or however one gains acce... | |
| Tube amp sound issues help You never mentioned, how many hours the tubes have on them(unless I missed it). If yours(ARC vs 110 ??) came with four 6H30 drivers(ie: the Reference 110), moving those around, shouldn’t matter. If you’re not certain of the hours on the tubes, you... | |
| Interconnects and non-believers Perhaps, it would be of help to actually understand, what’s wrong with the typical nay-sayer’s, "thinking"(loosely speaking)? https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/xLm9mgJRPvmPGpo7Q/the-cognitive-science-of-rationality Then again, probably not! | |
| Fundamentalist Fervor "....the best response is to think for yourself." That sounds so easy! Yet, there are so many, that take the LAZY(or, "miserly") way out: https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/xLm9mgJRPvmPGpo7Q/the-cognitive-science-of-rationality | |
| Fundamentalist Fervor Having recently posted this, in response to a thread under, "Cables" and disliking typing(as much as I do), I’ll just copy/paste it(so you can hate it again): "Guys, if you don’t hear a difference... just don’t spend your $$, and let everyone else... | |
| Audio as a weapon Experiment for yourself(though these use high freq & square wave sweeps) : https://www.amazing1.com/ultrasonics.html You may recognize the same Motorola piezo, that was used in the Dahlquist DQ-10, in some of those devices. | |
| Interconnects and non-believers "Guys, if you don’t hear a difference... just don’t spend your $$, and let everyone else make their own decisions. You don’t need to make your opinion into a crusade" That statement makes SO MUCH sense! So too, do scientific facts, such as the die... | |
| Audiophile LP's Has anyone mentioned the Water Lily Acoustics, ’A Meeting By The River’? All SE tubed recording chain, to a two track, 1 Inch RTR and no effects or compression. Gorgeous miking/mixing/sound and natural hall ambiance. Won a Grammy. Not certain if ... | |
| PS Audio customer service is excellent What hifiman5 & giri have said, +1. Another happy, PS Audio customer, here! | |
| Beware the audio guru I rather preferred the, "No goats, no glory", which(based on the flick) I found hilarious(KUDOS, Geoff). Sometimes I feel as though I’m stuck on the Antelope Freeway, being forced to listen to 24 hours of the Barney and Friends theme song, wishing... | |
| Beware the audio guru @teo_audio - I can’t help but reply. Based on you post, the principles, discoveries and the very scientific process itself, would have to be thrown out, or- considered, "dangerous", because the following believed in a supreme being(though, as prev... | |
| Beware the audio guru BTW: The topic of religion was introduced on the very first page, ninth response(and- popped up on others), so- non est mea culpa(OK, so I fed into it....shoot me)! No more from me in this thread(regarding religion), SO- save the flames and back t... | |
| Beware the audio guru @prof- As I mentioned before(while venting), " Whatever piques my interest: I’ll watch, listen, taste, touch, or smell it for myself, thank you." It seems, I’m not alone and find myself in good company(on and off, over the centuries). ie: https://... | |
| Term for an LP that is about the quality you'd expect to pull out of a dollar bin? Skeet! | |
| Beware the audio guru @prof - Had you bothered to read the follow-up post(then again, perhaps you did and it didn’t register), those words were a verbatim quote, from a very well regarded physicist, Nobel laureate and lecturer’s book. That’s why I postscripted the stat... |
