| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @lonemountain, @phusis , and probably most people's concept of amplifier/driver is a simple linear voltage based amplifier perhaps with some frequency response modification. Without writing a book, that is a traditional view that is not the fu... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @phusis , How would you listen for transparency? What does it sound like? Have you heard it before? Do you know what relative distortion sounds like in a speaker over any given frequency range? at a particular sound intensity? What would you use ... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @lonemountain , Was directed at me? I am not sure I understand the question. An open question: Is this above statement about change something audiophiles agree with? I expect little I say is something that audiophiles agree with 😁 Fortunate... | |
| Peachtree GaN 1 Beta @arafiq +10, @donnylovely , we are responsible for our action and what we write. This has been refuted by hundreds of posts all over the net. | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused Audiophiles like to use the word transparency. At moderate listening levels, the speaker will always be least transparent part perhaps with the exception of a turntable. No external amplifier that is not designed to interact with and drive one spe... | |
| Peachtree GaN 1 Beta However, all parts SOUND different.....no matter how they measure. There is NOTHING in the specs of a Caddock resistor that mentions low harmonic distortion.....just that it is a non inductive part Are you sure you want to stick with thes... | |
| Peachtree GaN 1 Beta Smart people learn from the mistakes of others and build on the knowledge they gained from those mistakes. Others keep repeating those same mistakes over and over. You can't build on existing work if you don't know what that existing work is. The ... | |
| Peachtree GaN 1 Beta You are right. I don’t listen to people who don’t know the difference between Class D and a digital amplifier. I don’t listen to people who make wild claims so obviously false. I don’t listen to people who post manifestos on the web filled with ea... | |
| Peachtree GaN 1 Beta My vote is with the guy who has built a Class D architecture from the ground up and "the other guy". I don’t place much faith in someone who does not know the difference between Class D and a digital PWM like amplifier. @kuribo , fraud or charlat... | |
| Who says studio monitors are "cold and analytical"? @mofojo some things are best starved of oxygen especially those that behave like they already are. | |
| Who says studio monitors are "cold and analytical"? @simonmoon , in this thread, "studio monitor" is being used as a catch all for speakers used in studio monitoring rooms, mixing rooms, mastering rooms, review rooms, etc. Recording studio monitors tend to be smaller out of necessity. Mixing, mast... | |
| Peachtree GaN 1 Beta I am with @kuribo on this topic. I read the manifesto, which I later learned was written by @ricevs after I made my comment. I am not an EE, but I have been involved in professional speaker development and management of for closing on 2 decades. I... | |
| Best digital format (non streaming) Every digital format out there, whether CD, DVD, SACD, or streaming in any format CD or greater is as good as you are, you being a human being, and better than your speakers by a fair amount. Stop worrying about the format, and start worrying abou... | |
| Who says studio monitors are "cold and analytical"? Silly would be responding in any serious manner to anything @kenjit writes, but many of you do. Personally, I don't find what seanheis1 said to be any less ridiculous. People feel a need to write a comment, even lacking experience with the topic. | |
| Has anyone been able to define well or measure differences between vinyl and digital? @johnread57 , by posting that link, is that not an admission that all the differences are due to the recording and flaws in the format? |
