| Do Audio Hobbyists Commonly Fail to Fully Utilize Their Systems? @barts "And I might add great joy!" Aye, Aye, sir! The game of mistakes might be just what it sometimes comes down to for me, but you're quite right, the heights can be quite high, indeed! Also, I might might want to join that same "club" myse... | |
| Do Audio Hobbyists Commonly Fail to Fully Utilize Their Systems? Agreed @mahgister Buying is the first step and while the synergy will take one a long way, it won't go the full distance for us on its own. At some point, we then we begin the process (that you champion so well) of attempting to unravel the myst... | |
| Do Audio Hobbyists Commonly Fail to Fully Utilize Their Systems? I myself have to take the hobby one day at a time. And maybe each time out with it, I have to recommit. But, I never sweat the mistakes. In fact I choose to learn everything I can from them. Been an audiophile for more than 50 yrs now, and the ro... | |
| HOW DID YOU END UP WITH YOUR DREAM SYSTEM? Through a combination of a relatively inexpensive (digital) speaker management system and a near-state-of-the-art power treatment solution for the entire setup. It requires DIY speakers, but since mine are open-baffle, I didn’t need a full-blown w... | |
| The end of physical media is neigh @erik_squires I don’t see any cause for doom and gloom, tbh. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JA_fUB-p9w0 | |
| Planar Speakers and Diffusors While the TV would need to be addressed separately, I'd focus, to start with, on just the front wall alone and go ONLY with some form of quadratic diffusion. Vertically oriented at that. That's really important because that is what is going to hel... | |
| Recommend me a DAC under 3k @kuhyay "When tuning components in my system, I’ve preferred ones that are more detailed/transparent rather than overly warm/harmonic. E.g. Telefunken over Amperex or Mullard. Duelund CAST over AN copper. Realistic tone/timbre, soundstage, mi... | |
| Danny Richie on loudspeaker design. But, overall I think Danny does excellent work and I think of him as a 'solid plus' for the industry (he keeps 'em on their toes!) and for the hobby. | |
| Danny Richie on loudspeaker design. While I wouldn't exactly buy any of his modified speakers from other companies myself, I can reasonably see those things as maybe a viable option for someone else. Maybe one or two his better successes there might be interesting food for thought t... | |
| Forced to DIY @bigkidz Very interesting to see your post above. At some point down the road, I just may look you guys up! | |
| Forced to DIY Some years back now, I simply grew tired (to the point I'd had enough) of waiting in vain for manufacturers to somehow 'divine', or to pluck out of the ether, exactly what kind of build quality, sound quality, feature sets, etc., etc. that I wante... | |
| Alan Maher Designs @txp1 Hi, although I still have my eye on a lot of Alan's products, I won't likely be in a financial position to order anything more for another couple months or so and I haven't ordered anything new for a few years now, so I have no experience wi... | |
| Best Sound Track Ever Vote for One Lalo Schifrin: Bullitt Dirty Harry (nice companion piece to the above) Kelly’s Heroes (outstanding underscore) Roy Budd: 2-CD set called Get Budd (a sampler of his coolest jazz tracks from action/crime films between 1968-75) Henry Mancini: ... | |
| Getting good sound quality below 200Hz @bumpy48, "Is there a reason why this may be, and are there any lower sensitivity 15" drivers that I could think about. Power is not an issue as I have a 1000Wpc Ice amp available." There may well be reasons, but if so, they’re above my pay grad... | |
| Getting good sound quality below 200Hz I'd say that no, this is not necessarily typical of bass below 200 Hz. But, I think you might begin to get a more insightful frame of reference here, if you simply, say, try a different set of woofers to experiment with. Eminence woofers are rel... |
