| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused I can make your system sound way better by using outboard amps and digital processing/crossovers. Perhaps this is true in this specific case as these are old designs. However, it ignores the tight coupling of application specific amplification ... | |
| What covid research can teach us about audio measurements. A measurement of THD is a measurement of THD. A measurement of frequency response is a measurement of frequency response. To extend those measurements beyond that is not science, it is pseudo science. I doubt I will make any impact in this d... | |
| What covid research can teach us about audio measurements. Like others have said, I do not see the relevance at least to the arguments in audio. Few if any of the scientific community doubt the existence of long Covid, and physiological and psychological testing confirms it exists. Knowing it exists, they... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @mijostyn, Atmos overcomes limitations in 2 channel reproduction that are inherent in the format. Very poor ability to position sounds being the primary one. 2 channel could be considered a subset of Atmos. Atmos add the ability to capture and rep... | |
| Has anyone been able to define well or measure differences between vinyl and digital? @clearthinker , I don't think there is anything to support you current view. I am not sure issues in playback when CDs came out was due to jitter, the brickwall filters, or just poor quality playback equipment. I have not delved into it extensivel... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused Sorry no, @ronboco. It is likely you know of the company. | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @kota1 , that is a strange conundrum, faithful to measurements, but untreated room. Dr. Toole had his omnidirectional speakers in an untreated room too, but his room was very large. That works in a large room where the reflections are delayed. Ami... | |
| Has anyone been able to define well or measure differences between vinyl and digital? @clearthinker , The MOFI debacle I think is the best counter to your argument about digitizing of an analog signal. That they could do this for over a decade, while creating some of the best rated vinyl for sound puts a hole into the argument tha... | |
| Has anyone been able to define well or measure differences between vinyl and digital? @fair , There are far too many errors and misinterpretations in your post. It will be highly misleading to someone who is not familiar with digital audio. Start off with sampling theory and window functions. The requirement for infinite time is ... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @audioman58 Bricasti amplifiers and preamplifiers are substantially better in tone What does that mean? The best Genelecs have near perfect frequency response and very low distortion. How could an amplifier like Bricasti which is neither fla... | |
| Has anyone been able to define well or measure differences between vinyl and digital? @akgwhiz , some good thoughts. Dither provides added dynamic range in digital. Is there an equivalent with hearing and analog noise? Don't neurons have discrete trigger levels? | |
| Has anyone been able to define well or measure differences between vinyl and digital? @fair I am familiar with binaural representations of full immersive audio space. It is still only a representation of a full immersive space and sound sources. Do you have a link to these data points? I think I have seen that before or had it me... | |
| Has anyone been able to define well or measure differences between vinyl and digital? @johnread57, We are in the early days of ATMOS and Auro3D. I have heard some bad recordings and some exceptional ones. I think it will be difficult to find a sweet spot with users, most will not put in that many speakers. In theory the object ori... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @audioman58 , by what definition do you define reference level? Popularity? Lots of write ups? Many many people do not like B&W speakers, not even the 801. As a speaker guy, there are some excellent things about this speaker, however, I alway... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @steakster, no, I can't tell you if I want to keep my job, or at least not have to experience the wrath of my boss. @juanmanuelfangioii , I have already contact the mods about others who are promoting this lie. Do I add you to the list? |
