| Room correction room system vs ears…. Thanks guys , I’m about to start room treatment when I get back, heavy long curtains, bass traps, plenty of soft furnishings etc. what I’m gathering so far is over $1000 on a correction system is not necessary if I complete the treatment. I kno... | |
| Nearly all manufacturers do not advertise/exhibit their product measurements? Why? holmz RF EM noise in the house can be detected with RF analyzer @westcoastaudiophile is there a link for those? I assumed it is like an o-scope… Would it make sense to determine if one had RF, or to measure using cable-A and cable-B to see if... | |
| A Question About Time Alignment Don't move your head even one inch while listening or your whole time alignment will be off. I’m more worried about my chakras being aligned… 😋 | |
| Audio Science Review = Rebuttal and Further Thoughts Hmmmm….. show me YOUR room treatment and I will never argue with you again Today. | |
| THE IMPORTANCE OF TIME DOMAIN RESPONSE MUST READ There are many sources of ringing within the speaker. The cabinet can ring, the driver can ring, the crossover parts can ring. We need to stop all ringing wherever it occurs. … Maybe let’s just ignore the ringing that may be happening long afte... | |
| Audio Science Review = Rebuttal and Further Thoughts Yeah @djones51 speakers usually seem to make more of a difference than the DAC for me. Maybe my ears are not so good as the DACs and CD players all seem to sound similar… whereas the volume knob and the speakers do more. | |
| THE IMPORTANCE OF TIME DOMAIN RESPONSE MUST READ Maybe @roxy54 - or the air pressure response of a driver given an impulse of current or voltage… But the later assumes that the current is somehow not allowed to ring in the circuit from the mass of the driver and its motor through the cable to t... | |
| Audio Science Review = Rebuttal and Further Thoughts @djones51 Maybe there were in two minds about what to recommend? | |
| THE IMPORTANCE OF TIME DOMAIN RESPONSE MUST READ we need to look at the cumulative spectral decay to ensure that its 0ms at all frequencies from 20hz to 20khz. I've What is oms? (Is that 0 milliseconds?) I do not think that we can apply an impulse to a system and get it to decay instantaneou... | |
| Audio Science Review = Rebuttal and Further Thoughts @thyname a DAC needs a DAC chip and a few other chips, case, power, etc. The cost of gasoline and DAC chips seem to have tracked in price increases over the last couple of years. As well as food and valve/tube prices. | |
| Tube preamp options As usual, @tomic601 , gives sound advice, and +1 on joining the Vandy forum. +1 and nice pun on “sound advice” Bob… that is a good job on a Sunday. The local book shop sells LPs as well as books and cards. Yesterday (Saturday) on the TT was ... | |
| THE IMPORTANCE OF TIME DOMAIN RESPONSE MUST READ Of course they dont know what they’re doing. A speaker is supposed to reproduce the signal you give it. Yet all high end speakers sound and even measure differently. They can’t all be right can they? @kenjit How wold you define “right”? Are the... | |
| Audio Science Review = Rebuttal and Further Thoughts @djones51 Definition of transparent 1a(1): having the property of transmitting light without appreciable scattering so that bodies lying beyond are seen clearly : PELLUCID (2): allowing the passage of a specified form of radiation (such as... | |
| Streamer vs iPhone Convenience. It is like an iPad with the amp attached, and a power cord. (The DAC is not likely sonically a lot better, as the iPad DAC is pretty good.) But it would be good to know if you think it sounds better or worse. | |
| Choosing new drivers/crossover in a speaker build @jgoldrick do you have the specific URL? Is it this one: https://sound-au.com/project81.htm |
