| Is this a scam? It sure sounds suspicious, I would not go along with it. Bail out. | |
| Was my friend given misinformation. It’s true that AVR’s pack a lot of options and a lot of amps at astonishing price levels as compared to ’high end’ stereo. In your friend’s case, he paid for 7 amps but he probably uses only two, that’s a pity. The Denon has the option to use 2 ... | |
| Streaming vs Physical Media A CD player IS a streamer. It streams 16 bit data to a DAC. It reads this data from an optical disc. The difference is in the encoding. Since lossless streams are available there is no difference anymore. | |
| Many higher end preamps are dated and ugly, why is this? Pretty is in the eye of the beholder. There’s ’art’ that sells for multiple millions that I don’t think pretty. ’Outdated’ ... well ... maybe after some 100 years of evolution in analog signal amplification circuitry it has come to a somewhat opt... | |
| All New Furutech PROJECT V1 Power Cable The New KING Of Power Cables ?! Better make it a good looking cable. | |
| objective vs. subjective rabbit hole The answer to your question is no one can persuade you of any claim. Think of it as tasting wine. One can measure acidity, sweetness, color, transparency, viscosity, alcohol % and more, and a spectrum analysis can define all its components with g... | |
| I don't want to beat a dead horse but I'm bugged. Who would consider this a good frequency response? It’s the Harman curve. Research showed this to be the frequency response for headphones the majority of people like best. It’s curves like this (there are several variants) that headphone design... | |
| I don't want to beat a dead horse but I'm bugged. Who's Amir? He's just a guy. Maybe knowledgeable, maybe he has an agenda. He may have a YouTube channel ... I have too. Why trust the opinion of just one guy? Look broader. What do other reviews say? I bet there are more? Are they positive? If a ... | |
| How do you judge audio components and speakers? How to judge audio equipment? Solely on the looks. Just kidding. Although ... I bet quite some equipment choices get based on that. To judge a system is largely subjective. Some like vocal jazz, some like hard rock ... they may require complete... | |
| Do power supply units/cables make a difference in sound quality? I live in Europe, we have 230V outlets. I’m sorry for all you guys on 110V that you only have half the sound. | |
| Do larger planar speakers produce more accurate sound? Larger usually sound nicer (not saying that’s the same as ’accurate’). They’re not so soon stressed to their limits to produce a certain SPL, they operate more ’relaxed’. Larger size is able to create a wonderful soundstage, almost 3D, and with h... | |
| Best cable for record cleaner, ever Wait what happens after 150 hours of running in ... I’m sure the soundstage will really open up. | |
| Best cable for record cleaner, ever Lol ... you forgot your CD de-magnetizer. | |
| Speaker positioning: why do audiophiles neglect this so much? Speaker placement, listener position, and room acoustics ... they might have the highest impact, but they are the least 'sexy'. Two sets of shiny speaker pods look much flashier than a 4 inch translation and a 3 degree toe in. | |
| Amir and Blind Testing Our hearing, or actually our brain’s hearing center, adapts ... sort of like our eyes adapt to low light levels. And the hearing center has no memory, like the smell center has, when you smell something that you smelled once years ago, you know yo... |
