| is it sacrilege? Sure it should be OK...don't worry at all about your wife.It is a social signal. She is just marking her territory with a clear signal to all others. Her mark, the statue, sits over and above your dominion, the stereo speakers. If you want your wi... | |
| Speakers That Will Party Hard If your friend wants party hard sound but absolutely nothing on the floor in the room then these in wall speakers are probably a good compromise: although they will not play as loud as 12 or 15" woofer systems, these four 8" drivers per pair of sp... | |
| Speakers That Will Party Hard You friend can't have his cake and eat it. He will not achieve anything even remotely approaching a party hard sound level with satellite speakers....Small satellite speakers definitely vary in quality and SPL output from manufacturer to manufactu... | |
| Where should I start for computer audio?? You need about 400 MB per CD if you use Apple lossless. So if you have say 1000 CD's then you require approx 400 GB drive....now to be safe you should have two drives and have them mirrored in case a drive dies...as half life of disk drives seems ... | |
| terrible bass response / unevenness problem. A DSP processor with a digital notch filter for base control would probably help. My Anthem AVM-20 has this feature and it works very well....if you like vinyl then you can still do it.... just use the DAC to convert to digital and then apply the ... | |
| How to tame the midrange??? Jafox,All depends on your perspective.Jafox states An equalizer? That's a drastic solution. I would only consider this if you're willing to kiss off resolution and collapse the soundstage.Actually an EQ might be the cheapest and most flexible sol... | |
| How to tame the midrange??? Bafffled,Ok I guess I may have been attributing a past problem that I had with your issues. Sorry if this was not really much help. Certainly if your car stereo has the same issue then it may be more to do with the way you perceive the music...aga... | |
| How to tame the midrange??? I am almost there with my system, except that the midrange sounds harsh, grainy, and exceptionally digital. Female vocals in particular. It actually sounds like clipping, but I can hear it at any volume level. However, the problem is more noticab... | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? Well put Guidocorona! | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? Baddabob,You make a good point and are quite correct about my pretty ordinary source components...I stand corrected. I have not made direct comparisons with anything approaching the $2000+ range (a high quality source). So in all fairness, my rema... | |
| Do Audiophiles blow speakers? Bassman99It sounds like you are a demanding user. Consumer audiophile gear is designed to sound good at reasonable sound levels and not specifically designed to be played at extremely high levels for long periods (coils heat up and fail). Also an ... | |
| Do Audiophiles blow speakers? I have blown countless speakers over the years and proud of it too!It seems to be a regular hazard for someone who spends countless hours listening to music and has multi-room setup. I admit that a couple of times it was not me - once the kids and... | |
| What is Oversampling and why/why not its good? This paper has a good overview of the basics behind the CD Digital audio and various forms of DAC conversion and filtering/over sampling and quantization/dither techniques used. http://www.tc.umn.edu/~erick205/Papers/paper.html#strengths Needless ... | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? Baddabob states; Once you get into the higher leagues, redbook gets much better. If you have a $2500 set of speakers and a $800 CD player, then you really have $800 speakers. It costs more to buy a top notch CD player than a vinyl rig of equivale... | |
