| MQA is Legit! Not to be the first to comment on my own post, but MJ's "Thriller" and Daft Punk Random Access Memories are great examples. Every time I hear these on digital or vinyl, I somehow come across something new. Yes, the system has a role to play, b... | |
| Is it all in my head?? Sitting here, looking over at the rig--that PK-10 just *looks* cool .. maybe I'll leave it at that :) | |
| Is it all in my head?? @prof : I came to this conclusion after hearing the entire system perform as a whole. When I say everything matters, I mean everything in the room, including the room itself, diffusers, the exact speaker placement, chair placement, isolation rack... | |
| Is it all in my head?? lol... i did not intend to ignite flames :P (when ever did a cable comment not)So, I was in NYC last week and stopped by innovative audio off 58th or so and Lex-i got to listen to an amazing system: a pair of dan d'agostino relentless driving wi... | |
| Who is next?? @kosst_amojan.. Yes, totally should have included Nelson Pass in that original list!! Perhaps the future of audio is AI-generated "live" performances tuned to your particular taste... hmm.. | |
| Is it all in my head?? @kumakahn: If you can record ~5000 samples of 10sec audio clips approx 50/50 split between cable A and cable B, then we can attempt to train a deep LSTM neural network to distinguish the two. If the computer can learn a difference, then we can w... | |
| Is it all in my head?? I have this theory on "cooking" cables too... I think what is happening might be a combination of oxidation and 'listening experience'. I have a pair of speaker cables I made that are braided/twisted and when terminated are 9AWG equivalent. I di... | |
| Who is next?? I like what Paul is venturing into with FPGAs! But he too is --ahem-- up there in years... (as maybe we all are) -- I never met Mike... | |
| Is it all in my head?? my speaker cables vary wildly with geometry... i use the same 12-awg cable for all of them.. i've built about 4 pair so far for critical listening. | |
| Is it all in my head?? 5@ivan_nosnibor I have no quantitative reason for what I hear and I only bought this cable because it looks cool and it would have cost me >50% of the price in parts to build it myself and i cant fabricate my own connectors. Also, I build mo... | |
| Is it all in my head?? @roberjerman: Exactly!! I think I agree but i think there might be more variables at play... for example, I think the act of moving the equipment and ensuring everything is "connected" might in itself clean off enough oxidation that sounds seem ... |
