| “House” Character of Popular $20-$30k Speakers I’ve probably owned over 100-150 pairs of speakers, over the years. I don’t rightly know. It’s a big number. I’ve probably heard near 1000 or so pairs of speakers under favorable conditions, ie showrooms, audio shows, people’s houses. All hooked ... | |
| AMP STRAIN : Balanced vs RCA Does not mean these given associates know much of anything about audio or how people hear, or how it all works in the minute aspects of complex interactive dynamics, shifting of loading and impedance, and so on.. If they were truly intelligent an... | |
| “House” Character of Popular $20-$30k Speakers If you think that Dynaudio might be the ’sweet spot’, you should then consider Verity. That would be a brand and quality of reproduction that leans even more into the ’sweet spot’. It can be tied to that thing about popularity not being peak, but... | |
| Amir and Blind Testing On the other had, amir will not stopn those will grow past him, after they spend time on the website. Slowed down, for some, maybe. Even stereo review served it's purpose. Not all of it was bad, or could be. Those with a tenancy to grow beyond h... | |
| AN Niobium versus Tantalum resistors? I was wondering why the cosina lenses I found at VV (value village) on the ’wall of shame’ (bags of stuff, priced) had such value, on line. then I looked closer. bubbles. likened to Leica. (waiter! take this old stuff away! bring me some fresh win... | |
| The sound quality from DACs - is it all the same? I wish that site would change it’s name to something other than "science" because it isn’t science, it is, at best, quality assurance. I am not sure who makes that suggestion. ASR is a forum that emphasizes the measurements much more so than ... | |
| The sound quality from DACs - is it all the same? “Most everyone here understands there must be a balance between measurements and listening.” I agree but then there are folks like OP who just can’t seem to comprehend anything beyond measurements, you know the type…bits are bits, 1’s and 0’s, ... | |
| The sound quality from DACs - is it all the same? it seems like so many of you guys have subjective-only opinions about what "sounds good" Can we all agree that machines used for measuring audio gear are more accurate than human ears? Do you use machines to decide whether art is visually pl... | |
| The sound quality from DACs - is it all the same? I wish that site would change it's name to something other than "science" because it isn't science, it is, at best, quality assurance. I think I'm going to now, going forward... refer to them in all communiques that involve their invocation, as... | |
| Burn in of new DAC One also has to be sure that the input to the given preamp is ’loaded’ even if it is off. It is rare, but it can happen. One of the best way to ensure some form of decent levels of loading, is to use an older preamp with passive tape switching, w... | |
| Every day I see another turntable recommendation... But frankly, being on this forum is like drinking from an information firehose. I have learned a bunch and yet somehow, I am less convicted than before. Functional truths are like that. They’re an opening into, a cascading expansion..ergo, ergo... | |
| AN Niobium versus Tantalum resistors? It is Interesting how incredibly subtle aspects of complex field expression (current and voltage), as combined with molecular noise, all time shifted in some manner, as a slur or as a displacement in time and level of transient edges (the only par... | |
| Any good video sites out there? I’ve explained this position to the moderator who understood what I was up to and promised to pause a bit longer before deleting another post of mine. Again -- I know this site is a "business." But I’m not a business. I’m a person, engaging in c... | |
| High Fidelity Cables? I have 3 of their products and they scoop out the upper bass and midrange- the classic wow it sounds clearer- but only at first. Very amusical. They do not offer auditions or trials or refunds or credit. That did not express much confidence that ... | |
| Speaker cable solid and strand copper cable dc will travel through the core of the wire. AC will move to the surface, depending on the delta involved in the given moment. the molecular-interrelationship within the lattice of the given alloy or element, determines the ’resistance’ as we ca... |
