| Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too? @immatthewj Well, I have admit that the "Sloopy Girl" video is the closest thing to "whacking material" I've seen on an audio forum. Thanks for sharing. Be back shortly ... | |
| How good is the crossover in your loudspeakers? @invalid " I can't figure out why any crossover would need a capacitor of 1600uf." Subsonic filter?? | |
| Looking for Solid Core Speaker cables @total111 Wow! That takes me back. Still using Type 4 on one of my systems. I have a 30-year+ history with Audioquest as a (semi-retired) dealer. I remember a demo a l-o-n-g time ago of the $1/ft Type 2 against a large, multi-stranded cable... | |
| How large (or small) is the audiophile market? I have a breakfast meeting with a high-end cable manufacturer this week. This was on my "wishlist" of topics. We’ll see what he has to say about the "audiophile market". Lots of good posts here on the OPs topic. We all have our own ideas on th... | |
| use of ChatGPT for HIFI ChatGPT can be a lot of fun wriing parodies of familiar songs. Here's one I came up with this morning: I asked ChatGPT: "Write a parody song based on the theme of "Stairway to Heaven" about an elderly gentlemen who needs to desperately perf... | |
| How good is the crossover in your loudspeakers? @ditusa "JBL measured the frequency response of my speakers @ 1 watt @ 10 watts and @ 100 watts and they have <1 dB compression of SPL output. See speaker specifications here last page. " That's excellent! JBL is noted for this. Along with... | |
| How good is the crossover in your loudspeakers? Just a note that measured "frequency response" is a static measurement at very low power (1 watt) at a distance of 1 meter. When things start moving and real power is sent to the drivers, the dynamics will change the tonal balance and things may ... | |
| How good is the crossover in your loudspeakers? Being one who has "hot rodded" speakers for several decades (including earning a patent for my own design): It is impossible to describe the before/after results of "upgrades" unless you strap yourself down in front of the speakers and actually l... | |
| ...they're back.... I became a fan the moment the song Disciple hit the airwaves. 200 mile round trip to see them in September? Doobie? Or, not Doobie? Count me in. Yes, time is running out for these original rockers. Saw America about a month ago. They are one ... | |
| Don't Neglect to check your Caps! @stuartk I'll to do my best here, but I'm not an engineer. Anything in the signal path changes the signal. Upgrade a component, and the sound will change. We can throw in a thesaurus full of relevant audiophile terms here, but more of what yo... | |
| We Need To Talk About Ones And Zeroes It's 2025 and we're still talking about "Ones and Zeros." You'd think that after many decades of involvement with digital music, we'd be up to 6, or even 7 by now. Or, at a minimum, 2 or 3. What's up with that? | |
| Don't Neglect to check your Caps! Chances are that you got a "twofer" here. - replaced a cap that was approaching end of life - upgraded the cap to something better than the OEM. The second statement is an assumption, but being involved in speaker service and performance upgra... | |
| Band/artist documentaries. Hall of Fame guitarist, John Cippolina, slipped under the radar of many, but deserves respect and consideration. RIP, Mr. Coppolina. Here are a few links to documentaries about John’s life and music: The first one is 4 minutes well spent if you ... | |
| Favorite Song Lyrics of All Time. What Say You? “Pride of Man” is a bible-based song, which references the destruction of Babylon and possibly the Tower of Babel fiasco, as well. The song was written and originally performed as Dylanesque folk-rock by Hamilton Camp, on his 1964 album, Paths o... | |
| Favorite Song Lyrics of All Time. What Say You? @immatthewj Those lyrics were so heavy I had to add extra support underneath my tablet to keep in from tipping over. |
