| Thermal Distortion your loudspeaker most likely suffers from it. But do you care? It’s also part of the sound of interconnects. Besides the problem of the given audio cable having it’s most perfect impedance at exactly one frequency and one frequency only. Where all other frequencies are imperfectly handled and are converting... | |
| Dog Owners, Do Subwoofers And Loud Noises From Your Home Theater Bother Your Dog? You have to have an area where it can be quiet for the dog. Dogs have very sensitive hearing and they don’t tend to (ever) be comfortable around loud noise. It will, over time, make them messed up. In most cases. Their life/existence reactions are... | |
| Touch up paint for Preamplifier ? Tonality near a limit, ie, pure red, blue, or green, or CMYK. Anything that is close to the limit of being a pure tone, or, conversely... whitish with a hair of the given pure tone. Those are the hardest for any paint matching/measuring system t... | |
| mission 775s w/774 arm...a forgotten jewel? IIRC, there is the 774 and the 774LC tonearms. Different from one another. The 774LC is like an early upgraded Jelco ST-250, the one that was at the end run of ST-250's. I believe it was pretty well identical to one of the Jelco sourced AudioQue... | |
| Has the cost of HiFi gotten a bit too much? Noam Chomsky once quipped that if the Nuremberg laws and regs applied just post WWII, were moved forward and applied fairly to all, up to today's date, that each and every president since then, would be hung by the neck until dead, for the crimes ... | |
| Has the cost of HiFi gotten a bit too much? I agree, under that premise of thought. but I’m saddened that the forums, which were supposed to be our great common conversation that was to serve as the undercurrent of all, that was to ’save us’ (where we could talk) is now so far gone that... | |
| Has the cost of HiFi gotten a bit too much? Just an FYI, “audioman58 post has been reported as political by me. The only alarming thing is people actually agreeing with his stupid post. You should have just let it go. The problem, here.... is that.. in a fair and balanced estimate of wh... | |
| Has the cost of HiFi gotten a bit too much? I appreciate your comment, but honestly no. I would recommend with a economics class, follow with a couple finance classes… graduate level. Then a few years of following details of inflation, GDP, PMI, Fed moves… in this setting it ends up in a b... | |
| McCormack dna-1 upgrade or no That.... is a giant can of undulating worms..... | |
| Decent mid fi with Onkyo tax-nr809 there are even some Sony surround receivers that people throw out, that are all done (completely!) in ’nichicon muse’ capacitors. This is no small thing, regarding final sound quality. Re-capping old gear exists as a known phenomena - for a reason... | |
| McCormack dna-1 upgrade or no I don't know if anyone has bothered to mention it yet...but...the amplifier is a more serious performer than the NHT 2.9's. Consider selling the speakers, and keeping the amp. | |
| Class A or Class D solid-state amplifiers (modern designs) IMO and IME, well built high pulse draw systems do indeed hold up very well. To the point, IIRC, that they are extensively used (if not entirely ubiquitous) in the satellite business. However, the minds that execute a given class D amplifier circ... | |
| Does measurements really matter? Measurements matter in correlating what we think we hear with what we do hear with what we desire to hear. Psycho-acoustics is incomplete as is the science of understanding human hearing is also incomplete. How that all ties to ’not fully underst... | |
| Amir and Blind Testing Should I just ignore that and look on the bright side of life, or drown in the koolaid?..... :P | |
| Amir and Blind Testing and created the Brian Jonestown Massacre ? No such thing. The ever ambiguous they - drowned everyone who saw it. No witnesses. Huh? There are various stories about the origins of Life of Brian. Shortly after the release of Monty Python and... |
