| Can anyone tell me where the progress in audio went? @tannoy56 , I expect that over the years, Carver has sold far more SS amplifiers than tube amplifiers. Carver as a company (considering it has been many) had by far its best commercial success in the 80's into 90's with SS amplifiers, the M se... | |
| Can anyone tell me where the progress in audio went? Conclusion?: Because knowledge has stagnated if not declined in high end audio, a market of aspirin and sugar pills sustains itself, where the patient is not only never cured, but is discouraged from seeking treatment. | |
| Can anyone tell me where the progress in audio went? @kingdeezie I am not picking on you, I am just using you as an example. Perhaps where audio has least progressed and has gone backwards is knowledge. I think the average audiophile today knows less about the underlying technology than the ave... | |
| Tube PHONO preamp interference - RFI, EMI, bad grounding? @filipm , making a phono pre-amp is not rocket science. Good low noise design, good quality transformers (if they are MC and use them), precision parts for the RIAA curve, and some other basic engineers concepts. When it comes to tubes as well, yo... | |
| Wendell Diller: "You don't wanna put a subwoofer with a Magneplanar; it doesn't work." @audiokinesis - Just went and look, one researcher attached comments on the paper directly to the AES original paper. Linkwitz posted his comments separately and about similar papers. Linkwitz agree with the other person commented on the AES arti... | |
| What Is Most Important? To respond to the ops actual question, for ultimate enjoyment, being able to share it with other people. When you are your death bed, are you going to remember back fondly to that time you were sitting in your basement, alone, listening to a great... | |
| Can anyone tell me where the progress in audio went? @dekay , that sounds better than the 1/2 million dollar system someone else keeps posting videos for on Youtube :-) I am not familiar with those speakers. I see light coming from the back. Are they open back? | |
| Can anyone tell me where the progress in audio went? @tannoy56 Most records are sold to hipsters who long for the simpleness of a past generation. As a portion of total music record and tape sales are minuscule. Most audiophiles not lost in the last century know digital is superior, but often stil... | |
| Wendell Diller: "You don't wanna put a subwoofer with a Magneplanar; it doesn't work." @richopp , big Maggies I would agree w.r.t. the potential to put out enough bass. 1.7 and 0.7, no, not enough for rock and not enough for the depths of classical music either. For the aforementioned potential issues in most people's rooms, I am no... | |
| inexpensive streaming setup +1 to @sfar. They must sell a ton of these! | |
| Can anyone tell me where the progress in audio went? I am a big fan of "Walking Around" lenses, you know those ones with big zoom ranges. Ken Rockwell may suggest framing with your feet, but try that over a body of water, or where access is restricted or physically impossible. Those still have a lon... | |
| Paypal...buyer protection fees didnt help me @missioncoonery , this is right on the Paypal site: You also have the option of self filing in small claims. Usually just the threat is enough. You also have the ability to file a claim against Paypal itself. This is the wording in their a... | |
| Can anyone tell me where the progress in audio went? @moonwatcher , Perhaps with your camera analogy should be the recognition that some things you really can't improve or are as good as ever needed for human consumption. Look at pixel count. If you are not blowing it up and/or looking at a prin... | |
| Tube PHONO preamp interference - RFI, EMI, bad grounding? Learn something new every day! Thanks @esarhaddon | |
| Can anyone tell me where the progress in audio went? @moonwatcher , I would argue that lenses still have a long way to go, especially when price is taken into account :-) Sensor technology has barely moved in what 7 or 8 years? Small incremental improvements but that is it. Even back side illumin... |
