| Remote Volume Control for my Decware amp @gruvjet I think it would be fun to try to make something like this. There are plenty of stepper motors available that interface with arduino or pi boards, and there are plenty of remotes that interface with those same boards. A mechanical solutio... | |
| Remote Volume Control for my Decware amp Someone should build something like Neil Young’s “whizzer”, which takes a signal and physically turns the knobs on his beloved Fender amps. While Neil’s device works with presets, a device that used a remote ranging from 0-100 should be doable: h... | |
| RCA to Optical Converter @jkampmeyer I can confirm I have used a solution like @gkelly suggested, going from RCA to optical for a wireless headphone system, and it did work. Quality was within expectations for such a setup. | |
| Incredible Audiophile Imaging -- at a Concert! OT, nice Beato vid with Dave Natale! | |
| Incredible Audiophile Imaging -- at a Concert! but Jackson Browne sounded great @tonyrox Not surprising. Jackson Browne is absolutely fastidious about his sound. Listen, for example, to how clean and meticulous the sound is on the live album "Love is Strange" with David Lindley... | |
| Incredible Audiophile Imaging -- at a Concert! +100 @ghdprentice | |
| Incredible Audiophile Imaging -- at a Concert! So the piano was a grand, possibly a concert grand, opened. It was heavily mic'ed, at least 3 close to the keyboard and 1 or 2 for ambience. My belief is that it was very carefully mixed and panned based on microphones, but not panned based on fre... | |
| Incredible Audiophile Imaging -- at a Concert! Thank you all for the responses! @g2the2nd Thanks for the link. Yes, a very similar effect. It’s not "real sounding", much in the same way that many producers / sound engineers are fond of panning the drum kit all the way across the sound stage. ... | |

| The cool factor- who has it? Miles not only has the Cool factor, he gave birth to it: | |
| The physics and limits of relative loudness perception Oops, I meant moire patterns rather than diffraction gratings in my last comment. | |
| The physics and limits of relative loudness perception Tubes are another one of the more common sources of imbalances - so it might seem odd you got the imbalance after going from tubes to SS - unless you had an imbalance in the tubes that was actually offsetting the room @mulveling Thanks for all ... | |
| The physics and limits of relative loudness perception I found this interesting site: https://www.audiocheck.net/blindtests_level.php?lvl=0.5 I can, with 100% reliability, distinguish sound levels of +/-1.0dB. But only about 60% reliability for +/-0.5dB Clearly no "golden ears" here 😬 | |
| The physics and limits of relative loudness perception @kofibaffour Thank you for the detailed response and the links to Erin’s videos. You provided me with a better vocabulary to describe what I experienced. Before I reframe that, the speakers are DALI Epicon 6, with a pair of asymmetrically placed... | |
| The physics and limits of relative loudness perception @052rc Thanks, but this does not appear to be what I experienced. I used SE connections from pre the Primaluna, and balanced to the Apollon. But both connections were the same type on each channel of the respective amps, and the gain switch was se... |
