| Acoustics experts - a little help please @ditusa This is great advice, components and racks not good room treatments. My sound stage extends from very near floor to ceiling, coherent life size images require properly designed acoustic treatments on front wall, diffusion works for me. | |
| Article: "Do Blind Listening Tests Work? My Sessions with the Colorado Audio Society" Blind testing does accomplish something in that it requires and exercises analytical listening mode/skills. Going through analytical listening mode is a rite of passage for audiophiles, graduation day arrives when one spends little or no time in t... | |
| Is there a ROON sound? I often see comments that claim Roon sound quality changes as they institute the regular Roon upgrades, can't say that I've ever detected change in SQ. As for the SQ differences between music player apps, bits are bits, based on this all music pla... | |
| How good is the crossover in your loudspeakers? As pertains to the desirability of attaining flat freq. response the videos @lalitk refers to are informative. So, guy designs his speakers to measure exactly to his liking, result is nothing close to flat freq. response, the chances that others ... | |
| Article: "Do Blind Listening Tests Work? My Sessions with the Colorado Audio Society" Arriving at one's reference system should probably take many years of trial and error, listening to live music of all kinds, listening to a wide variety of systems in a wide variety of settings/listening rooms. I too often focused on a particular ... | |
| Is there a ROON sound? Back in the day when I was experimenting with diy modified Mac Minis as streamers I ran both Audirvana and Roon, each had a unique sound, I'd characterize Audirvana as the softer more forgiving player, Roon rather sharper, more defined. I've now ... | |
| How good is the crossover in your loudspeakers? I believe Danny will substitute an individual's choice of caps for the Sonicaps, recently saw one of his videos with Duelund CAST caps loaded on crossover. Physical space limitations are generally the greatest issue with using the best of best fi... | |
| transferring music to SSD Ugh. this makes sense, people have been recording music they didn't own for decades. Still see the monetary issue from the perspective of streaming services, they're not in the business of giving away music. | |
| transferring music to SSD I don't know the specific legislation, but I don't see how recording music you don't own would be legal. I see apps that will record streams, but I doubt these apps can be loaded on any music dedicated streamer, using a general service computer as... | |
| We Need To Talk About Ones And Zeroes Galvanic isolation is the bare minimum, vast majority of higher end dacs and streamers have taken care of it, grounds contamination is a well known issue. While attending to many of these network and other streaming issues often result in inc... | |
| remembering Eva Cassidy, 25 years after her death What this brings to mind for me is how some think this era and proceeding eras were the golden age of recordings. This was a time when record companies controlled nearly all aspects of the recording chain. Certainly one could find a studio in whic... | |
| Article: "Do Blind Listening Tests Work? My Sessions with the Colorado Audio Society" @newton_john You bring up the very thing I was going to speak to next. Thus far we've mostly been speaking to the playback side of the equation, think about all the variables that go into the recording side of the equation. And then we have the in... | |
| Article: "Do Blind Listening Tests Work? My Sessions with the Colorado Audio Society" @ghdprentice I'm in total agreement with you. I've played in bands and heard many non-amplified, non- sound reinforced concerts, From this I can recall the many qualities of what we refer to as 'natural' sound. So from this 'reference' I can ascer... | |
| transferring music to SSD You don't own the music on your Tidal playlists, therefore, you can't transfer to internal storage. | |
| We Need To Talk About Ones And Zeroes @devinplombier By 'clean' network I'm speaking specifically to EMI/RFI contamination by wifi. A router running active wifi is likely the noisiest component in anyone's streaming chain. Disabling wifi on the router serving my audio only network has... |
