| How do you judge audio components and speakers? Yeah, well it’s ludicrous. You know that what I’m saying is true. Trying to build a progressive society and make folks who are unique special snowflakes does not improve anything. @mahgister I wish you could explain how it all works. But what ... | |
| How do you judge audio components and speakers? @thecarpathian seriously? have you see his "system?" looks like it was put together by a bunch of farm animals building a lair of their own with household objects or anything they could find.... | |
| I don't want to beat a dead horse but I'm bugged. Measurements are certainly important, but I don't think they tell the entire story. One man's trash is another man's treasure. But if you're looking for accuracy in terms of audio fidelity, I think measurements are very important. | |
| How do you judge audio components and speakers? Ummm @mahgister I never insulted you. I'm serious. If your acoustic treatments make a lot of difference, then take it to people who deal with audio for a living. I bet they could learn something from you. No audiophile cares about how inexpens... | |
| How do you judge audio components and speakers? @mahgister Alright. So if you do have a recent system, then why not upload new pictures? Maybe you should start working for studios. Teach the experts something they don’t know... since you are the master of unorthodox acoustic tweaking... | |
| How do you judge audio components and speakers? @dave_b I am also deeply concerned. @mahgister I never tried to insult you or ridicule you. It was you who lashed out at me. I'm simply making suggestings that would benefit your listening experience. it is common knowledge that placing obj... | |
| How do you judge audio components and speakers? @mahgister You said: My speakers are modified by the way by heavy concrete load yes but also by some Helmholtz devices attached to them and on top of them (psycho-acoustic method here)... Concrete as a damping material? Let’s assume your spea... | |
| How do you judge audio components and speakers? I would suggest cleaning up your desk, getting speaker stands, an acoustic pad for your speakers, and getting rid of all the stuff on your ceiling. | |
| How do you judge audio components and speakers? Also, I never said anything disrespectful to you @mahgister you said "who is the fool" therefore inferring that I am a fool because you have advanced knowledge of acoustic treatments that no other person on the planet is aware of. Certainly your... | |
| How do you judge audio components and speakers? Okay, but you’re talking about saying a 20k amplifier is not worth it, without having the experience yourself. That’s like me saying lobster must taste bad, but never having tried it my opinion is automatically invalidated. Well, more power and r... | |
| How do you judge audio components and speakers? Also Maghister, you should start a consulting service to do these treatments for professional studios like AIR studios, and for audiophiles. Let's see what happens. I'm not trying to be rude, just giving you some common sense advice. | |
| How do you judge audio components and speakers? And to further my point, you cannot transform a system to have better sound quality with your "acoustical treatments" it is impossible. You just need the speakers to be close to you - away from anything that might cause sound waves to bounce all ... | |
| How do you judge audio components and speakers? @mahgister If i am deluded why all my 8 headphones sound like unnatural and bad compared t o my 2 listening positions in my mechanically controlled room ? Maybe those headphones are not so good. Afterall, we know that speakers and headphon... | |
| How do you judge audio components and speakers? @mahgister Dude, are you for real? I had a look at your system. Your room looks like a mess. Do you actually believe that you are improving sound quality? Given how much stuff is on the ceiling and everywhere else, you are likely creating a rev... | |
| The sound quality from DACs - is it all the same? @rlawry Which $3500 DAC and $11,000 DAC? would you equate percentage increase like, say, 20% better? |
