| WHY DO SOME AUDIOPHILES TRY TO TELL OTHERS WHAT THEY CAN OR CAN’T HEAR IN A SYSTEM? grislybutter I will mention this at the 10AM troll huddle. We need to step up our game. “When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time." (Maya Angelou) | |
| WHY DO SOME AUDIOPHILES TRY TO TELL OTHERS WHAT THEY CAN OR CAN’T HEAR IN A SYSTEM? It's clear to me that some people come here solely to disrupt and ridicule. They're trolls, although some are cleverly disguised. But in general, there is no shortage of people who want to tell others how to run their lives. Both groups are genera... | |
| The $27,900 disappointment? Wilson Audio Watt Puppy 8 issues. mulveling We live in a clickbait era, so these videos get him a large audience plus a ready market to buy his stuff. Yup. There are quite a few of these clickbait audio "experts." A handful have carved out a little niche for themselves. | |
| XM tuners/ receivers I don't think an MR-88 is the answer to your issue. The MR-78 is one of the best FM tuners ever made. What sort of reception problems are you having, and did they always happen in this location? The MR-78 is certainly a classic component, but give... | |
| Collectibles signed by musicians. What do you have? I have a few, but there's only one that really has value to me. I was friends with Tommy West, and he once gave me a gold CD of two unreleased tracks that he recorded in his home studio, and he wrote on the jewel case label that the disc was for m... | |
| Surge protectors--how many $ make sense? Surge protection is a good thing for all the appliances in your house. If your utility allows it, a Type 1 protector installed in your meter panel is an excellent first line of defense. My electric utility doesn't allow use of Type 1 protectors, s... | |
| Stereo Times 2024 MOST WANTED COMPONENTS List teajay I have never "portrayed myself" as a professional writer/reviewer, but someone who writes professional reviews for fun and enjoyment. That looks like a distinction without a difference to me, but now I understand you don't really c... | |
| Stereo Times 2024 MOST WANTED COMPONENTS List teajay Hey thecarpathian, Wow, your last post confirms that you take all of this way to seriously! ... Given that you portray yourself as a professional writer, I’d think you’d be grateful to have your grammatical errors politely noted so tha... | |
| HAVE CABLES EVER TAKEN YOUR SYSTEM FROM SOUNDING JUST OK TO SOUNDING GREAT? Experiences ? crawfishdaddi I've been down this road a bit and my answer is a little nuanced ... once you have a cable that is: 1. Well constructed 2. Well shielded and 3. Well terminated, you will get little to no improvement in sound quality by "upgrading" ... | |
| Audiophile Equipment Repair? It would be helpful if you told us where you're located and perhaps which DAC you have. | |
| Anyone else ever deal with Tidal "support"? bobdg2000 When I ask for answers about how they determined this to be the problem, I just get a standard, "We don’t support or troubleshoot Win 7 anymore." I never got any technical answers on my issue. I don’t really think you can fault Tidal... | |
| Sound quality of HD Radio vs CD vs Streamers?? pwerahera ... the very best FM tuners can do only so much to reproduce FM signal which is subjected to noise, hizzing and signal strength whereas HD doesn’t suffer from any of these ... Actually, so-called HD radio is very much influenced... | |
| Subwoofer connection bbarten Tape out. Done! Oh, no, you don’t want to connect a sub to a preamp’s tape output. That would feed a fixed level signal to the sub. In the OP's case, Y-cables connected to the preamp out (which is after the volume control) is the w... | |
| ARE SUPER EXPENSIVE STREAMERS REALLY WORTH IT kairosman Listening to TV either YouTube or Netflix movies using the P1’s internal DAC over HDMI ARC sounds fantastic even though it’s just 2 channel stereo ... Both YT and Netflix use lossy compressed audio - comparable to mp3 files. Many... | |
| Sound quality of HD Radio vs CD vs Streamers?? mahler123 Is HD Radio synonymous with Internet Radio? I had never heard the term prior to reading this thread. No. HD Radio is a scheme by iBiquity/DTS to broadcast digital audio using existing AM and FM channels. Note that DTS acknowle... |
