| Big speakers, are they really the best way to get great sound? Near field matters but it isn’t an all or nothing proposition. It has pretty much no effect on bass | |
| Anything new with digital room correction? Understandable. It does require a big investment and requires the home theater preamp. | |
| Big speakers, are they really the best way to get great sound? Breaking this down to size is oversimplification to the point of misinformation. What matters most are the radiation patterns of the drivers, the maximum SPLs one wants, the acoustical properties of the room (size and proportions are just two of m... | |
| Anything new with digital room correction? Are you using the new Waveforming DSP with the Trinnov? That is very high on my radar | |
| Help settle a streaming argument! Modern DACs designed and built with the intention to be accurate will be audibly transparent. You’d have to really screw up a streamer to get one to audibly color the sound. No one is going to settle your argument. It will just be amplified he... | |
| 3-Dimensional Soundstage If you want a true three dimensional sound stage and imaging from two channel stereo there is really only one game in town. BACCH SP. | |
| Help me spend $100,000 on a new system There are numerous approaches to bass management none of which are perfect. Personally I favor trapping over all others. Although I am very interested in the Trinnov Waveforming technology for bass management 50 Hz and lower. I’m betting on a comb... | |
| Help me spend $100,000 on a new system “Some of the "best mastering rooms" use tuned resonators to address all the strong room modes (It may have been quite discreet, i.e. you may have thought there wasn’t anything there).” indeed, there is no “naturalistic” way to manage room issues ... | |
| Help me spend $100,000 on a new system Sure. Absorption is not uniform across the frequency spectrum. It depends on the absorptive material, how thick it is and how much space if any there is between it and the reflective surface behind it. If one haphazardly puts 1”-2” “acoustic foam”... | |
| WHY IS THERE SO MUCH HATE FOR THE HIGH END GEAR ON AUDIO GEAR? when I was in Italy last year I bought a digital phono preamp from an Italian company and 2 active bass traps from a Swiss company. I saved a lot of money. The cost of shipping to a distributor, distributor mark up, shipping from the distributor t... | |
| WHY IS THERE SO MUCH HATE FOR THE HIGH END GEAR ON AUDIO GEAR? “You have my post deleted only to quote it. What a manly maneuver. You're way over your head on this.” I didn’t have your post deleted. I’m in over my head with what? Slinging insults? I’ll concede that… Got anything to say about audio? | |
| Help me spend $100,000 on a new system One has to be careful with absorption. If used it needs to be broad band otherwise it can become a passive equalizer with dull high frequencies | |
| What news in 2023 struck you? Trinnov waveforming DSP. | |
| Help me spend $100,000 on a new system They absorb bass and reduce bass standing waves and reverb. There are different kinds that target different bass frequencies. | |
| WHY IS THERE SO MUCH HATE FOR THE HIGH END GEAR ON AUDIO GEAR? “My observation was there only to say that BACCH filters is a more interesting matter and more important than your debunking invitation to solve costly cables differences obsession among audiophile ...” Go back to my original post in this thread.... |
