| High powered single end 300b recommendations @rooze has it ... the Allnic A-6000 are 60W a side with 4 x 300BXLS in parallel, and sound incredible, in the top 0.1% of all amps in any category. Best I have ever heard vs. very costly others. The soft start means the power tubes will last a dec... | |
| What is Your Opinion of Atmos Music? @kota1 yeah so that's incorrect. For listening to Atmos, you have two general categories of options, Apple Music and Amazon/tidal. The latter uses the Dolby Binaural, which has the 3d data included in the streaming file which means it can play on... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @kota1 respectfully I will add a few things to your post… I’m a musician long before being a decorated engineer. I’m looking at a 1930 Mason Hamlin double B that’s one of the best pianos in the world, and a room full of instruments that are mine a... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @mjoslin13 Again perfectionism is an imaginary ideal. It’s a narcissism of our own imagination. There is no perfection. And in music production there are no mistakes. Teams of people make choices. Positive compromises. Your mind is on display in e... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @donavabdear This statement is from idealism and perfectionism which are fear based, and this statement is false. "ultimately sound being recorded as accurately as possible rather than sounding better subjectively is best practice." You’re trying ... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @thespeakerdude A few things, 1. flat is not useful or preferred. We like a little low bump and high end cut, assuming a pivot at 1k. Flat responses leaves people with no way of working except fear based perfectionism, which is antithetical to gre... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @donavabdear you bought a brand. Not a great set up. Sorry to say. I’m happy to suggest DAC amp / headphones options given a number. For 8000 you can do better. | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @kota1 I never took headphones seriously either until Atmos. It's really important to understand that we do not have any releases in this format that represent the highest end of the format. Early days. I'm working in the format every day right ... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @mijostyn sadly you’re not only wrong you’re wildly overconfident. There is nothing accurate about sound reproduction anywhere. Not your ears. Not any system. It’s all degrees and taste. Dogma is dangerous in life and in audio. Right or wrong is d... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @mijostyn they are not "mistakes". You have an idealism and perfectionism basis to music that's not real life. Two speakers can't do the live event. Atmos is better but cant. It's an unreachable goal. What's creative and joyful in pop music ... | |
| What is Your Opinion of Atmos Music? @tablejockey i was with you until I really dug in. Atmos on any headphone gives Joe average phantom center image and a "great room" experience previously reserved for you and me in stereo. Headphone stereo is pretty bad compared to a room. Headpho... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @lonemountain Some people want it to sound like it’s supposed to, the way Fleetwood Mac decided or Tom Petty or Lenny Kravitz. ATC enables you to get that, and you cannot get that with passives. You can get close, but not "there". Realism is what ... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @donavabdear Thank you for showing some credits. It's not "beneath" me yet you are the one here saying things above others like you know the music world, and you just don't. For example: "Dolby Atmos was meant for movies not music." That's wron... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @thespeakerdude again. Read slowly ... I am not opposed to any concept or any system. No dogma. However in the real world FULLY ACTIVE SYSTEMS WITH DA AMP CABLES SPEAKER DSP IN ONE TEND TO BE A COST ISSUE COMPROMISE. Trinnov ... I used to make 7.... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @donavabdear so no music credits ? No name ? Got it. You're arguing for your system being of superior design concept. I'm saying "if you love it that's great!" The rest of your posts are drivel. |
