| Isn't MCA Dead? Why is TAS touting MQA features in current emails? MCA died after Universal Music took it over:(( | |
| Perplexed on how single driver speakers can cover such a large Hz range +1 as usual to Atmasphere for an eloquent explanation. @kokakolia, with respect, I think you are conflating/confusing perceived loudness and frequency range. A speaker with limited frequency range will often be perceived to be louder than a full ... | |
| The new Linn LP12 50th Anniversary edition It's a lot to pay for Linn's interpretation of a Panzerholz plinth and a fancy button and hinges. | |
| What speaker could safely be ordered without hearing it first? +1 petaluman. Never buy any hi fi product without listening to it first - preferably in one's own system. | |
| Can anyone identify these speakers? ProAc make excellent speakers. They are underrated because they do very little marketing. If the OP likes the Tablettes, they should also listen to the Response and Studio series as they have a wider bandwidth and still image excellently. The curr... | |
| Why is solid state more popular when tubes are better? @emergingsoul, As Wolf Garcia has said, there are many "reference" systems using tube amplifiers of all kinds - otherwise companies like Jadis, VTL and Audio Research (now rescued) would not exist. The term "reference system" is a bit meaning... | |
| Why is solid state more popular when tubes are better? @emergingsoul "multiple reasons why tube sound better? It probably is due to how harmonics are handled. Don't tubes impact harmonics differently, ie, provide more emphasis throughout the harmonic range in ways solid state does not? This is pos... | |
| Why is solid state more popular when tubes are better? @emergingsoul "Tubes are better for multiple reasons" Would you care to enumerate? | |
| Digitally recorded vinyl vs streaming @mojo771 There is no fixed answer to this because it depends on the quality of the playback system but also where the material is sourced from and, critically, when it was mastered. Just to give an example. I very recently did an a/b/c comparis... | |
| Can an audio rack be that important? What makes an audio equipment rack good? Making it as non-resonant as possible is a good start, which often involves some decoupling of the shelves from the rack superstructure. Racks do make a difference to sound quality but they are best conside... | |
| Wadia GNSC To the best of my knowledge, the laser used in the 861 is NLA. 861s have a good record for longevity but they are getting on now. A more recent Esoteric would be a safer investment. Those equipped with a USB input work well with content streamed ... | |
| DIY Cheap crossover parts effect on frequency response If your crossover design is defective, better parts will not fix that. I think you need to provide a lot more detail on your overall design - drivers being used - and the crossover design to get any useful feedback. | |
| Monitors Part of the reason that people don't use studio monitors for home listening is that nowadays, the majority of them (the monitors that is) are active and most people already have amplifiers and so are more interested in passive speakers. Secondly,... | |
| Why Do Cables Matter? @donavabdear Thanks for your response to my post. The time code to digital sound synching is a digression, but an interesting one! It's not strictly correct to say that the analogue waveform of a recordings at different sample rates will be th... | |
| Why Do Cables Matter? @donavabdear Thanks for your response about the second law of thermodynamics. With all due respect, what's in the post does not relate to the law. Regarding your comments on digital audio, you refer only to sample rate, which relates to frequency... |
