| Room treatment The best thing you could do is to create a virtual system and post photos of your system and space. Without understanding your system and environment it will be very difficult to help, They need not be glamor photos. Just grab you phone. | |
| Rogue Audio Sphinx V3 Integrated Amplifier / Separate Phono Preamp From my experience the phono stage is really critical. I upgraded mine over and over, over the decades and it was not until I got to the Audio Research PH8 did it get out of the way. To put this in perspective this would be an investment level of ... | |
| Need guidance on my planned Audiophile setup based on Synthesis A100 I would start with about 7’ triangle, say three feet forward of wall behind speakers. Set up speakers to start with the beams crossing about a foot behind your head. Just a starting point. Position your triangle. so you can treat the first side ... | |
| Projectors now vs 15 years ago You can now get a 100" TV for less than $2,000. While I wouldn't go bottom fishing by cost, there are a large number of 100" screens available from everywhere from Costco to Best Buy. Every time I looked at projectors the sharpness was way preve... | |
| The difference between tubes and solid state that I am finding @woots Yes Burmeister is all about detail. | |
| The difference between tubes and solid state that I am finding @jsalerno277 My change to tubes as I gotten older has nothing to do with my hearing. While my hearing may have deteriorated, my ability to analyze and perceive nuance of sound has continually improved. Quite honestly my tolerance for bad treble ... | |
| Speakers "Too Big" for room I love the room. It looks like a great place to hang out. Great looking system as well. As you probably know, there is tremendous opportunity to improve sound quality through acoustic treatment. A larger rectangular highly absorbent rug. I think... | |
| How Music Protects The Aging Brain While it sounds like a pretty fuzzy study. There seems to be a growing consensus among scientists that exercise retards loss of function. That would be physical and mental in every respect, reading, critical thinking, as well as walking and bicy... | |
| The difference between tubes and solid state that I am finding Yes, You identified the dominant differences. How prevalent the differences are also dependent on the designer and the rest of your system. Your comment on blossom is call midrange bloom... it is the natural fullness of the midrange... where mos... | |
| Can AI Build a speaker? I assume you mean design a speaker system. I am sure it can help a lot. It is also a great way to learn how to use AI. Especially if you have created a lot of personal content about music and train on that as well as using a really large LLM. It w... | |
| Biamp & how many others Probably. The reason I have never done it is because I always buy the very best of something I can possibly afford... like an amp... so I would be buying two amps and investing 1/2. That from a quality of sound would be a huge step down. Hence. ... | |
| "I Trust My Ears" Inexperienced ears / brains at assessing high quality audio are relatively insensitive and easily deceived. It’s like anything else, if you are new at it, you only hear obvious stuff ... like changes in treble and bass. Your brain thinks, more det... | |
| They should charge more for it… If you are into high end audio the "law of diminishing returns" is not in the equation. Getting closer to the music mid-fi is creeping ever closer to the goal of better sounding music with greater investments of time and money. There reward functi... | |
| Speakers "Too Big" for room You can do it effectively, just lots of acoustical treatment / dampening may be required so not to over load the room. You can basically acoustically enlarge the room by heavily dampening the walls, floors, and corners. The volume at which you lis... | |
| Buckeye Amps musicality? Not measurements, musicality.... You ask a great question. Measurement will tell you very little about how they sound. I got this from an AI summary of Buckeye. This description is a resounding no on musical / natural sounding... if that is what you want. This has all the chara... |
