| What do you care about in this hobby? Objective data supported by science and physics. This hobby is dying because there is no regulation in this industry, and companies can claim any kind of snake oil (read: lies) they want about their products to the ignorant masses. That's why they... | |
| Which one would you buy Why have you narrowed it down to these two. | |
| Subwoofer Question No. But unless the subwoofer is next to you, you're best bet is a second matching sub placed elsewhere to offset room modes and standing waves. You don't want to be sitting in a peak or null. | |
| Room Treatment Help Stay away from Dennis Foley. You can make super cheap but super effective treatments yourself. OC 703 or Rockwool with some fabric and 1x4's. But GIK and Vicoustic make quality treatments if you don't want to do it yourself. Also check out Sonitu... | |
| The death of ultra hiend audio Technology has come a long way in the last 30-40 years, and the floor for quality audio has raised significantly. Additionally, a new generation of audiophiles have more information at their fingertips than at any other time. Meaning, they can fi... | |
| ??? Where Does "High End" Start ??? The premise of this post is wrong. There is a threshold of cost, which is a lot lower than you'd think, where marketing and snake oil take over, and you're not getting any improvements in sound. In general, you will find amazing speakers in the $1... | |
| Buckeye Amps musicality? Not measurements, musicality.... Class D is Class D, man. This day and age, if it ain't a tube amp, they all sound the same. All of them. This isn't 1973. Even SINAD scores are overblown. Anything above 75 is going to sound the same to everybody. That said, Buckeye Purifi is obje... | |
| Cable Quandary What you're experiencing is fallacious reasoning. | |
| Long Run of Speaker Cabling The cheapest 12AWG OFC is the best stuff you can use. 14AWG would do just as well. Don't do something foolish like buy some uber expensive boutique cables that people claim will sound better. They won't. | |
| They should charge more for it… People here saying they'd buy that stuff if they could afford it. Just goes to show how anti-audiophile they are. Kick physics and the science of sound to the curb, because it must be better since it costs more. Those are the same people buying su... | |
| Crossover and Wiring Upgrade Just because you believe it doesn't make it true. None of what you're suggesting will make them sound better. You just need to get different speakers. Different sounding cables/wires? Come on, man. Don't be willfully ignorant. | |
| Validation Irrelevant. Everybody has subjective and objective differences in hearing. Everybody. If you like it, that's all that matters. | |
| New electrical wiring specifications Standard 20A circuits with 12/2 wiring. | |
| Power Help - What Conditioner - WHERE? What are your goals? Nothing you will do here will affect how any of these perform. And power conditioners really do nothing but potentially reduce output or add noise to the chain. Just go get any decent large power strip. | |
| 15 amp vs 20 amp Waste of money. It would not change a single thing with your sound. At all. But worth the money if you're using a 32" subwoofer at reference levels. |
