| Most Important, Unloved Cable... Ah yes the bait and switch technique. People don't like the challenging idea that claimed results aren't audible enough to be tested - so now they protest about the use of pronouns, suggest that this is some kind of Nigerian scam and self proclaim... | |
| Why is good, deep bass so difficult? - Myths and their Busters @bdp24 I believe Meyer do this also (a microphone in front of the woofer).The alternative to correcting for errors is to eliminate them by using a single layer large 4" short length voice coil in extremely tight tolerance massive long magnetic g... | |
| Bluetooth streaming Be warned that Bluetooth is lossy and compressed. | |
| Recordings that only sound good on resolving systems Totally Agree.Steely Dan sounds overproduced, clinical and very artificial on a resolving system.Led Zeppelin just sounds awesome.It is a case of less monkeying around with overproduction is more / even if you can hear that squeaky foot pedal. I v... | |
| Full MQA music list. Like with all other media, just because it is MQA does not make it the best recording you can find.I have plenty of examples where the original CD or Vinyl sounds better than MQA.It mostly boils down to the mix and mastering quality....so YMMV bet... | |
| Ugly vs Gogeous speakers @rsf507 Vivid are ugly - trying to pretend a speaker is a musical instrument or something a giant dog might leave behind is not my idea of aesthetics. | |
| 2017 vs. 1990s - How far we have come @erik_squires No that is not digital drums on Billie Jean - that is Ndugu Chanceler playing a Yamaha Kit. As a drummer I can tell Yamaha from Slingerland from Gretsch etc. The SACD version was rather bright if I recall - so perhaps you got that. ... | |
| Why is good, deep bass so difficult? - Myths and their Busters @soundsrealaudio So you obviously could not find any (not one) high end professional studio facility using 6 inch woofers for their main monitors!!!I hope you learned something. 6 inch woofers being fast is a myth. As far as bass is concerned 6 in... | |
| Most Important, Unloved Cable... We no longer need any test or experiment. The result is clear. Audible differences are not nearly as audible as some have claimed or anybody here could easily be 20K richer! | |
| 2017 vs. 1990s - How far we have come I met Ndugu Chancler. Ndugu who I just heard you all say? Ndugu is the drummer on Billie Jean.Ndugu is the force behind Billie Jean - that one magical take or moment. The drumming on Billie Jean is so exquisitely timed to GROOVE! It may be the mos... | |
| Ugly vs Gogeous speakers I am not a fan of the aesthetics of most speakers especially as most aesthetics lead to compromises in sound. I don't like designs that try to disguise the speaker (Nautilus, Vivid, Sonus Faber)However I like the industrial steampunk & Art Dec... | |
| Most Important, Unloved Cable... @dynaquest14 The larger rims do help with cornering. This is rather useless on an SUV. In the end, your brother will just be more likely to have a rougher ride, more expensive tires and a bent rim the next time he hits a pothole!I have large AMG... | |
| Most Important, Unloved Cable... @jinjuku You won’t get anywhere with this lot. They make wild claims and then back down and come up with 1000 excuses when challenged. There is also a big lucrative market for selling all these pointless bits of audio jewelry - so don’t expect any... | |
| Why is good, deep bass so difficult? - Myths and their Busters @soundsrealaudio Can you find any multi million dollar recording studio using 6" toy size woofers for bass on their main monitors?You can't because these are professional facilities that do things correctly without following some weird urban ... | |
| Why are tweeters so high off of the ground in many tower speakers... @dlcockrum Your CS5is will vary quite a lot in presentation with ear height just like Artemis EOS. I explained in the first post why - it has everything to do with the crossover of non-concentric tweeters and the mid. You get lobbing or cancellati... |
