| Why do so many people have problems with bass? @mambacfa , Traditional rock is light on synthesizer. Orchestral instruments go deeper than any instruments in rock. Electronics music does have very low frequencies. | |
| New Dedicated Line - Almost No improvement The wire didn't break in @jwmorris , you did. | |
| What do you consider the most when choosing a pair of speakers? @monacousticusa , IMHO if you are not freely giving out full measurements in my mind you are hiding something. That's either you don't have them or there is something wrong with them. Only to people who audition at shows? I would not even bother ... | |
| Electrical Power Outlet advice Furutech, Leviton Hospital, Hubbel hospital: 1:1:1 About 200+ systems over the years. 90% poor probably more. | |
| When a budget speaker is preferred to a high end one... I can't agree with you at all @fsonicsmith . Give me those Magicos and cheap but competent electronics with the room to match. I need a good turntable setup for some cherished recordings. The rest it's easy to find. | |
| Electrical Power Outlet advice In my experience most people who claim to have a high resolution say though because of what they have spent, while their speakers, room, and even electronics are incapable of said resolution. YMMV | |
| Which sounds better: I2S or Coax. If the DAC is designed properly, the interface will make no difference. I2S is another way to extract coin from your pocket. | |
| When a budget speaker is preferred to a high end one... My main speakers cost 20 times my digital source and 4 times my analog source. Jokes on you @juanmanuelfangioii . @audiotroy , musicality is mainly frequency response and even the most accurate speakers need room treatment and/or equalization for... | |
| How long should speaker cables be? @larryincmh if single ended works for you, it works, if it does not, it does not. A long single ended cable is often bad, not because it allows you to pick up more noise, because realistically, who has big noise generators near their audio equipme... | |
| Good in-wall AC cable Lots of lore in audio @holmz. It is inaccurate to say there is no benefit of a dedicated line in all installations. It will significantly reduce the impact of high instantaneous draw sources (dimmers, etc.) by putting them a different AC run. If ... | |
| When a budget speaker is preferred to a high end one... @blisshifi well done on covering everything that matters. | |
| New Dedicated Line - Almost No improvement At higher frequencies, where inductance dominates, using thicker wire has virtually noeffect on impedance. At 1 MHz, replacing the #12 wire with a ½” solid copper rod has little effect (as noted in the plot). Misleading and erroneous in the fra... | |
| New Dedicated Line - Almost No improvement @theaudioamp You’re new here. What an insulting statement. And you don’t read well. My comment was not to the person who posted the link, obviously, but to the person who put on the non-peer reviewed presentation to the AES that was linked. The... | |
| MoFi controversy Thank you for the post @moonwatcher. I hope all the people who hold analog and tape up as some holy grail will hone in on one sentence, And besides, as a tape lover myself, finding new tape that sounds good is a problem. After Ampex/Quantegy w... | |
| New Dedicated Line - Almost No improvement A good presentation @jea48 but not without questionable recommendations and some questionable interpretations of how things work, but still vastly better and debunking so much of what gets posted. |
