| Variable plasma picture quality Digital TV is compressed. Some of it is good some is bad. Chances are you are not looking at an uncompressed HD quality picture like you would get from a BD player (so you see artifacts from compression or worse you are actually watching an upconv... | |
| The focus and air lie shadorne, using terms like "circular argument" fallaciously hurts whatever point you are trying to make. Quite right. I think Dpac996 got it. I realized I wasn't going anywhere - but have you? | |
| DIY cable elevators But perhaps I'm missing something. You sure are missing something. None of this will have any effect unless you have the right kind of source.I'd recommend soy sauce. | |
| Our home system: How good it is? you may leap to the assumption that you have, but I propose that it is not born out by science, facts or acoustics. No leap here. It is a fact that walls reflect acoustic waves - as shown in the animation on the first PrimeAcoustic link I gave yo... | |
| The focus and air lie It would be a bit condescending to suggest that they do not or cannot appreciate music as a result.Agreed. I feel bad. What do you suggest - should I sell everything and buy a Bose wave radio.... ;-)Rush had a good song about this "The Trees" - t... | |
| Our home system: How good it is? BTW - please forgive my lousy typing, and one more thing on Point 2) => you will notice listening position in studios tends to be far from the rear wall behind listener - most often with the engineer sitting in the front half of the room.A good... | |

| The focus and air lie OMG, we are on an audiophile website and people are actually arguing that a boombox is better suited to appreciate music to the greatest possible extent....go figure!Perhaps we don't even need ridiculously expensive musical instruments to really a... | |
| Room Question Thick carpet with thick underlay is absolutely the best! The shortest dimension is usually the height. A carpet is absolutely the most important thing in any room.If you can't do at least a third to half the room in carpet then get a big rug and r... | |
| The focus and air lie I like nice looking things as much as the next guy, but the irony is that good looks is not required for good sound though many may equate the two. To quote the fab four, "What do you see when you turn out the light?" | |
| The focus and air lie Shadorne, I tend to focus more on different individual or group played lines or elements in the music when I listen also. I think that any audiophile would necessarily want to do this but I begin to suspect that many are just proud collectors of ... | |
| The focus and air lie it seems that you are more interested in the parts than the whole. No I would say that as a music lover I am interested in both. How the parts fit together to make a whole is one of the most interesting aspects of complex musical pieces. It is wh... | |
| big rig vs. the second system Without more information on what you are comparing - it is impossible to comment further. | |
| Bose lifestyle 48 Bose excel at making good sound in attractive packages for very low cost. They also make some excellent sound reinforcement gear for clubs and stages. Although they are not at all respected in an "audiophile" sense, their success indicates that ma... |
