| When and where measurements matter Many of the lessons learned that I have had over the years are about the room. I started putting in dedicated outlets in 1989. I started using bass traps in the early 90s. One thing I learned back then is that a little damping is good but too much... | |
| When and where measurements matter I enjoy my stereo and I find it very satisfying to make a change or upgrade that improves the sound but I envy those at times who have something modest and can be happy with it. Those tend to be sportsmen who save and long for sportsman type gear... | |
| Why Is Hi Fi Gear So Darn Expensive? In 1912 Edison sent his salesman out across the country to pedal his new disc phonograph. The price was up to $250. That’s about $40,000 today- for a record player. But things got better. In 1968 a Marantz Model 18 stereo receiver cost $695. ... | |
| what kind of power conditioner for front end? +1 or +2 on the Niagara. I have dedicated power lines to the amps and the front end. I added the Niagara 5000 to the front end and it was a substantial improvement over the previous power conditioner- even with dedicated power lines. I also hav... | |
| svs subwoofer I was using a pair of SVS SB4000 subs with my Thiel CS6 speakers. They integrated fairly well giving me that last bottom octave. Since going to the Wilson Sasha DAW speakers I can now see how the subs used with the Thiels did not integrate perf... | |
| I have seen a lot of ideas concerning Cable lifters I experimented first with wood blocks, heard a difference and then built my own lifters using ceramic electric fence insulators and rubber bands on wood dowels. I hear a difference on my system. When I first tried it the floor was carpeted. I ... | |
| Rockport Avior 2 vs Wilson Sasha DAW I have had my Sasha DAWs for just over a month now. I continued to work on placement of the speakers in the room over the past few weeks. These speakers are less than a year old but since I bought them second hand I did not have the privilege of... | |
| WHAT CABLES BEST TRANSPARENT OPUS ? Why? Just cause or is something lacking? I am impressed with my Purist Audio Design cables. I have no experience at all with TA cables. So it would be interesting to me your impressions of the PAD 30th anniversary product line which I think is... | |
| Rockport Avior 2 vs Wilson Sasha DAW I brought home a pair of Sasha DAWs a few weeks ago. I have made some cable upgrades and put IsoAcoustic Titan footers on them because they were vibrating my hardwood suspended floor. They sound magnificent. Better sounding than I have ever hea... | |
| Amir and Blind Testing So in my vanity, I will take several readings on my bathroom scale but accept only the lowest reading. I don’t do a statistical calculation of the group of readings. That’s the very definition of biased testing, I think. And what’s it matter? ... | |
| Amir and Blind Testing Most of you on this forum likely do not know or have ever heard of a gauge R&R. Most also likely do not understand the concept of accuracy and precision. That's not a slight. This is a difficult concept and much work has been done to define... | |
| Amir and Blind Testing deluded audiophile, your behavior- argumentative, disrespectful of others, spending 5 seconds reading about something on the internet and thinking you are an expert, indicates that you are a young adult living in your mom's basement somewhere who ... | |
| Amir and Blind Testing Deludedaudiophile, good luck with your battery venture. You might want to learn more about metrology. You can take some courses or learn more from the ISO or MIL Q Specs about test equipment certification and traceability. These are industry st... | |
| Amir and Blind Testing deludedaudiophile, you seem very defensive about this topic. I get the impression that you manufacture a product and are trying to rationalize not using certified or calibrated test equipment. That would be sloppy work indeed. Any manufacturer pub... |
