| MoFi controversy If their customers are audiophiles with the stated goal of the best sound possible, then what is more contemptuous, providing the best sound possible but not clearly defining how, or using an inferior all analog process and then claiming it is the... | |
| Speakers need to be placed close to back wall. Help I have bought one stereo system as a gift for someone in 50 some odd years of life and only then because that is exactly what they requested as a gift. Unless this is something they have explicitly discussed getting, then it is a poor gift idea. T... | |
| When a budget speaker is preferred to a high end one... Nope, I understood you and do not agree. Less revealing does not blunt anything. it will make it worse. That is called distortion. If there is a shelving in the frequency response that has nothing to do with cost, that is a design decision. Cheap ... | |
| What Is Most Important? Is this one of those "Everyone who disagrees with me is a Nazi" moments? So hard to tell for sure. | |
| When a budget speaker is preferred to a high end one... The video / audio comparison is flawed and similar. The similarity is just like audio, once you reach a certain resolution (assuming equal viewing distance), then there is no improvement. Where it breaks down is that increased video resolution mea... | |
| What Is Most Important? I have no more issue with the average Russian than I do with the average Chinese person. They are victim of decades of abuse and propaganda from their own governments. In my travels, I have found that every day Russians and Chinese people are more... | |
| What Is Most Important? Except @nonoise, the Jewish genetic deviation is one of the lowest of any races, and in theory in the time of the bible, at least Jesus, could have been Ashkenazi, who by the most recent genetic studies have a predominantly European genetic lineag... | |
| What Is Most Important? I am reminded at this time that: - Atheists have lower rates of unwanted pregnancy - Atheists have higher rates and more thoughts of altruism - Democratic countries with more Atheists have much better social safety nets, i.e. they consider it m... | |
| When a budget speaker is preferred to a high end one... @emrofsemanon I have never found a less capable system to make music more enjoyable. That's just some bizarre phile lore that gets bandied about. | |
| When a budget speaker is preferred to a high end one... I love Google experts. So much fun. A Kippel system at 100K does what far more expensive systems used to do, but it does it far better. A big turntable can increase the price. No longer a need for multimillion dollar anechoic chambers any more. Al... | |
| When a budget speaker is preferred to a high end one... Large manufacturers often don’t have an industries best people. The best people don’t like bureaucracy. There is no need for hand made either. As well using contract MFG you often access better cost supply chains. Have you seen how much human touc... | |
| New Dedicated Line - Almost No improvement Maybe that BX wire is just keeping the EMI in and allowing it to transfer to the ground? | |
| Upgrading If you think cables are the limiting factor in your system you are always wrong. Maybe if you are using Dollar store wire or a really badly designed wire but every other time no. No need to see system photos to know that. The system photos may he... | |
| When a budget speaker is preferred to a high end one... @serjio can you make a knowledgeable statement wrt to volume mfg, markup and resale? How about the cost for a fancy product look but contributes nothing to sound? What about adding really expensive parts like ultra expensive caps and wire that pro... | |
| When a budget speaker is preferred to a high end one... Inexpensive drivers have relatively low distortion at low volume levels. It’s possible to make a relatively inexpensive speaker with good dispersion and somewhat flat response. Don't push it too hard and it can sound okay. Most expensive speakers ... |
