| Sound meter + equalizer = problem solved? I have EQ for my system (a Schiit Loki is there but not hooked up unless something really needs it) and rarely use it as all I generally need to (rarely) do is adjust my subs...my large, untreated room sounds great as it has furniture lots of crap... | |
| Choosing new cables Clearthinker...not clear enough for irony or satire? Don't chew the fun outta my gum. | |
| What are some good things to do when going to an audition Bring head shots. | |
| CLASS A POWER RATINGS What's with the unventilated rooms? If my listening space got warm from my XA-25 or my tube amp I'd question the oxygen levels...I've got a Vermont Castings Intrepid behind my listening spot and I'm still never too warm (tall ceilings...but still)... | |
| Decware and “The List” Sorry but the name Decware sounds like a leisure suit company. | |
| Choosing new cables I think the obvious thing to do is spend the entire 15 grand on one cable (pair, unless it's a 15K USB or something), as it would sound SO good as it would lift all the more pedestrian cables up. | |
| Rell or JL subwoofer? I've bought a few used RELs from the Q series and they're still great (2 Q150e models and a Q108MK2). The phase adjustment does not have to be continuously variable as the 180 degree switch works fine. No DSP digital nannies allowed in my room. | |
| Low level listening For any speaker to sound good at low levels it has to be designed with a giant suckout in the midrange to exaggerate the highs and lows lost to the dreaded Fletcher Munson curve. There is no free lunch. | |
| RIP David Lindley Wow...El Rayo Ex was the hottest obscure band during its relatively short time and Lindley was brilliant solo or as a sideman. I listen to his stuff often. Mister Dave... | |
| Why do we stop listening to new music as we get older? I’ve been a professional musician since the 60’s and I hear new music all the time. I don’t like hippity hop much but I’m not the target audience for that anyway and it’s not "musical" enough for my attention span so..meh...Get out to the "folkie"... | |
| Why Are We Breaking Our Brains? Pretentious nonsense. Of note, wine tasting is the oldest collegiate sport. | |
| Beatles vs. Stones The Monkees didn't write their hits (Boyce and Hart wrote a lot of stuff, as did other pro songwriters at that time) or were trusted to play much of anything on the records (except singing) until later in their "post TV" career that generally suck... | |
| "Audiophile" Power Cables: The Greatest Audio Conspiracy Theory of All Time? Brevity. Practice brevity. | |
| New Synergistic Master Fuse If you replace a blown fuse you will notice an immediate improvement to the sound since when the fuse is blown there is no sound at all. | |
| New Synergistic Master Fuse A live test is a test in real time with people in the room. |
