| New expensive power cord for amp and no change in sound? I don't notice anything specific as sounding different from the two video time marks. What do you hear? Have you tried measuring the difference? I guess it's just me but that's what I'd do because I'm a curious dude. Every time I've been pretty su... | |
| Some thoughts on ASR and the reviews As Amir stated earlier, it’s really only when specific measurement claims are made and not met that there is any real problem. Nobody is doubting anyone’s subjective impressions and preferences, although we may doubt the stories told about what ca... | |
| Some thoughts on ASR and the reviews " few electrical measures of the design pieces will not do and measuring speakers will not be enough to complete the optimization process." A few measurements are insufficient perhaps, but very useful. Ears don’t lie. They just do what they ... | |
| Some thoughts on ASR and the reviews I read about human hearing beating Fourier Transform and thought it was an exciting thing. That’s why the company I work for started analyzing rooms using short tone bursts of known frequency so we could see time domain information in bass notes t... | |
| Anyone listen to entire albums? I often listen to complete albums these days. I didn't when first started streaming but now I find myself frequently letting the whole album play, and then my streaming service starts guessing what I want to hear next. I notice it never plays a co... | |
| If you have a nice system why do you really need room treatments? A great sounding room is a huge head start. Good sounding rooms are more than just good sounding for the stereo system. They’re pleasant rooms to be in, to talk in, to sing or play an instrument in. That’s the good news. A properly treated room ju... | |
| Some thoughts on ASR and the reviews I love what Amir is doing with ASR. It gives me more information. I’ve learned lots of useful things there. My system is sounding better than ever, and a lot of that is thanks to solid information on ASR that allows me to make more correlations be... | |
| I see the issue with ABX blind testing I think it would help if you knew what the cable did to the signal, in technical terms. If you could measure that, it may be possible to derive a test signal that accentuates the difference. I know this won’t tell you if you actually like the soun... | |
| Are You A Disciplined Audiophile? Disciplined audiophile, that's an interesting idea. I won't wait if the sound is markedly unpleasant. Maybe a few days at most. If it's really nice it's easy to let it go for a few months - if my love affair with the new sound lasts that long. Or,... | |
| Qualities Of An End-game System When your system causes you to lose interest in changing anything with it ever again, it's end game. You'll never know. But others may know after you die, if they bother to think about it. | |
| This One has Me Stumped Seems like you've covered the compatibility issues and the distortion shouldn't be happening. I'm sure they'll figure it out. The reason I mentioned REW getting confused is that I've had highly audible distortion pop up that was apparently so s... | |
| Example of a piece o’ crap, useless review It’d be nice to see the transfer functions of various cartridges, tonearms, etc. It could be measured, and could provide some clues about what kind of sound to expect. I’ve owned different turntables and cartridges and some of them sounded very di... | |
| This One has Me Stumped Did you ever get a measurement of the high frequency distortion coming out of the speakers? Was REW showing super low distortion, even though you could hear it coming through the speakers as the sweep was playing? I have found that REW can't alway... | |
| Overkill for small room One thing to think about is that smaller monitors with some subs may be more flexible in a smaller room. You can put the monitors where they image best and have the best overall tone. Put the subs where they interact best with the room. Since they... | |
| The Emperor Has No Clothes!! If you are convinced you can hear a difference under normal listening conditions, that's one thing. If you can show there's a measurable difference that is well established to be enough to be detectable, that's a more interesting thing. If you can... |
