| This is Too Funny Vinyl is Still King Interesting theories but they did't stand up to technical scrutiny then and they still do not today. I suspect the main reason that analog works well is that you can actually hear below a noise floor (well known that you can hear up to 15 db below... | |
| Is my room too small I would never sit with my head near a wall. It is better to listen nearfield than sit next to a wall. Sitting next to a wall is about the worst thing you can do. | |
| How do you guys choose between CD releases? Generally the older the better. Early CD's had dynamic range even in pop/rock genres - since the 90's everything has become "loud" and compressed. The first releases of Toto sound great. The recent remasters sound bad - it is the same with most ne... | |
| Best way to get accurate rake angle on speakers If you have good speakers then the dispersion should be such that the presentation is not overly sensitive to rake. I'd suggest to have the tweeters a little above ear level (about a foot) when seated - this means that it will usually still sound ... | |
| Difference b/w RPG Skyline and GIK QRD diffusors Of course, you can easily go overboard with RPG as Elizabeth points out. This studio used TONS of wood and not even ONE piece of wood is the same length. | |
| Difference b/w RPG Skyline and GIK QRD diffusors I would recommend RPG above the listener (in a low ceiling) and on rear wall behind the listener. I would not recommend RPG on the front wall between the speakers unless you are using Bose or other rearward radiating speakers. Frankly the majority... | |
| CD vs. Vinyl I think it is pretty obvious to anyone who is not deaf that the spring drive Victrola was and still is the pinnacle of audio quality.For starters, stereo is just a gimmick. Worse, electrons are not natural sound vibrations and never ever will be. ... | |
| Avalon ,discoloration of ceramic tweeter Light weight small diameter underhung voice coils are more easily overdriven. 1/2" is roughly the voice coil diameter (yep it is tiny - considering most tweeters VC are 1 inch).As you halve the VC diameter then the surface area to radiate heat bec... | |
| Room treatment...what is the goal? The worst thing is to have an RT60 that varies all over the place (drastically different at different frequencies)- this will sound terrible.Look at my virtual system for some measurement examples. | |
| Room treatment...what is the goal? Depends on the room size but an RT60 of around 0.4 to 0.8 is desirable. You can allow RT60 to get over up to 1.2 or 1.4 at 20 Hz. 0.4 is closer to dead studio sound and 0.8 is closer to what may sound best in classical. The smaller the room the mo... | |
| The difference between impedance and resistance As to inductance the motion of a charge (which is current) causes a magnetic field. Agreed. And the magnetic field can be shown to be a relativistic effect (Einstein - special relativity) of the pure electrical field. It all depends on your frame... | |
| New Rockabilly Guitar Monster The kid really has talent.If you like this music then a "must have" is this gem of an album.Crazy LegsAwesome | |
| Live infectious funk jams....quality recordings The Daptone Gold LP, 24 best tracks by their roster, is amazing as an introduction. Absolutely. I saw Naomi Shelton & ~The Gospel Queens recently - awesome stuff.Daptone Records has some fantastic artists. | |
| Are you a Verificationist about audio? I will tend to take much more seriously a well reasoned explanation backed by solid science - meaning that I will accept some well supported manufacturer's claims.When something makes absolutely no sense at all - then my philosophy is why waste an... | |
| Does the quality of a digital signal matter? Above when I say "not sure" - what I mean is that the software can tell the drive what to do and I don't know if MAX software is telling the drive "not to interpolate" uncorrectable errors. Some softwares will do this and then you get an error rep... |
