millercarbon To sin is to not live your own life, your best life. That truly is missing the mark, the greatest sin of them all. May we never be old men looking back on our lives and remember how in the fourth grade on the first day of school w... 
Better Sounding Systems, Objectivists or Subjectivists?
vinylzone 205 posts 12-12-2021 10:09pm I never really bought into Ayn Rand’s philosophy lol, a very different type of ‘objectivist.’ In fact villains in an Ayn Rand novel are precisely the types we see here pontificating why certain things in... 
Better Sounding Systems, Objectivists or Subjectivists?
@russ69     It’s the people that are willing to experiment and try things that assemble the best systems. They are not afraid of being wrong about something and are open to new ideas. Those are the people that push the hobby forward. +1  
Better Sounding Systems, Objectivists or Subjectivists?
@kr4 indeed, who likely listens to their systems more? Those of us who listen to our systems when making component purchases and set up decisions, or those who look at numbers and graphs? Put another way, do those of us who trust our ears listen t... 
Roon Streaming Service actually Degrades the sound
sonic79 26 posts 12-10-2021 2:58am Does this streamer maker have objective proof Roon degrades sound quality? Actual measurements that prove degredation of the signal?   Objective measurements are a tool to get better sound quality but they d... 
All the old issues of Stereo Review are online!!
Stereo Review, a business model that speaks more to people who do not buy hi-fi, then to those of us who do. Their dry objectivist approach is exactly what HEA buyers don’t want. Yours in music, Ted Denney III Lead Designer/CEO Synergistic Rese... 
When choosing new Speakers, what matters most to you?
@nitrobob what about Tesla? They offer better pay and benefits than all current UAW contracts, so a better compensation and benefits package for their workers who are not paying union fees (tax) to the UAW who would otherwise provide them less pay... 
So where do you fall in the spectrum.? Gear or Music?
Both. Your question is like, where do you fall on the spectrum, sports cars or driving? For me I couldn’t do one without the other, stereo is pretty much the same. Yours in music, Ted Denney III Lead Designer/CEO Synergistic Research Inc.  
When choosing new Speakers, what matters most to you?
buying speakers without any measurement is a really risky proposition.   +1

imhififan 1,628 posts 12-06-2021 10:10am Size is the single most important thing! You’re definitely right about that. I see a lot of guys with high dollar systems, where they have way too big a speaker for the size of their room. It’s like th...

riley804 996 posts 12-06-2021 9:56am price could be a factor. Good point, let’s say both speakers are in the same ballpark, not a significant difference between the speakers at all, or let’s even say they cost the same. How will you determine...

How do you know when a stereo sounds good?
Very simple- it should sound real. There are times with great source material when my system sounds like I am at a live performance. Not only does the performance sound like it is in the room but my room is no longer my room but the space the rec... 
SR Atmosphere X Levels- worth the upgrade?
Yeah you can click the links. It goes live later today. But again click the links, you can read the descriptions on what we did and what we changed on each cable model.
