| Who is Gonna Buy A New Jeep Grand Wagoneer For the MacIntosh Stereo? @chattaudio Yeah, those judges could get a little persnickety A little Car Audio Nationals story from the late 1980s. We were pretty proud of one of feature cars. It was inventive, tastefully done, and I was a serious home audio guy. So, I ... | |
| To pricey @hifiguy42 You win. | |
| Pleasurably better, not measurably better @erik_squires "I think there are a lot of people who want to play at being scientists or engineers when they defend their technocratic positions on audio." I believe that there are many who are unwilling to acknowledge that there may be gaps in... | |
| Pleasurably better, not measurably better I think culture, background and training are at play here. Those deeply engrained in the scientific and engineering communities are disciplined to defend their positions with hard data. It’s part of the culture and for valid reasons, when the goal... | |
| So I was changing a lightbulb last night… The hum at 60Hz coincidentally creates a pleasing even-ordered harmonic when played in conjunction with the first cut of Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon album. Make lemonade out of lemons? | |
| What should I upgrade first on my budget system? @digsmithd +1 | |
| What should I upgrade first on my budget system? @coryb Room treatments are pretty boring. They just hang on the wall and not much fun to play with. But, as other’s suggested, I’d make these the #1 priority in your upgrade plan to improve sound quality. I’d hang a better cartridge on the end ... | |
| Does Anyone Else Member the Golden Age of Audio Insults and Product Degradation? @lou_setriodes Looks like you've exposed some gaps in my knowledge base. Glad your experience with the NEC gear was a possible one. I've now adjusted my opinion towards NEC with a little help from my friends. Thanks for the comments. | |
| A Question About Time Alignment The time it is taking to read all the comments on this topic does not align with my morning schedule. I hope to pick it back up when I have more time this afternoon. | |
| THE IMPORTANCE OF TIME DOMAIN RESPONSE MUST READ Gosh. Who needs to watch/read the drama of political debates between unapologetic, fire-breaking partisans, when we can get all the drama we need right here on this forum? Thanks, Kenjit | |
| Cost effective power cables recommendations, low and high power @troidelover1499 When I hear the phrase: "Don't want to spend alot of money", my translation is: "not yet convinced, and don't want to overcommit." You're getting many expert opinions from people on this forum who really know their stuff. I ... | |
| Cost effective power cables recommendations, low and high power @ghdprentice "Also, and for the life of me, I do not know why… but the character of an interconnect tends to be the same as the character of a power cord. Why they would sound similar is completely beyond me. This is just a casual observation by... | |
| Does Anyone Else Member the Golden Age of Audio Insults and Product Degradation? @boothroyd Thanks for the comment. I remember NEC and they never moved the needle very far on my "cool stuff" meter. Not Electronically Competent in my opinion. | |
| Who is Gonna Buy A New Jeep Grand Wagoneer For the MacIntosh Stereo? @erik_squires "music you can listen to for hours isn’t high on the list of qualities they pay attention to." Agreed. This is not unique to mobile audio, but products targeting the "mass market" (which includes luxury car market) in general. The... | |
| Who is Gonna Buy A New Jeep Grand Wagoneer For the MacIntosh Stereo? 80 pounds of Dynamat will do wonders for the noise floor in most vehicles and exponentially increase your enjoyment of the audio system. While an extra 36 kilos of extra weight might be like chalk on a blackboard to sports car enthusiasts, the ext... |
