| The physics and limits of relative loudness perception Tubes are another one of the more common sources of imbalances - so it might seem odd you got the imbalance after going from tubes to SS - unless you had an imbalance in the tubes that was actually offsetting the room @mulveling Thanks for all ... | |
| The physics and limits of relative loudness perception I found this interesting site: https://www.audiocheck.net/blindtests_level.php?lvl=0.5 I can, with 100% reliability, distinguish sound levels of +/-1.0dB. But only about 60% reliability for +/-0.5dB Clearly no "golden ears" here 😬 | |
| The physics and limits of relative loudness perception @kofibaffour Thank you for the detailed response and the links to Erin’s videos. You provided me with a better vocabulary to describe what I experienced. Before I reframe that, the speakers are DALI Epicon 6, with a pair of asymmetrically placed... | |
| The physics and limits of relative loudness perception @052rc Thanks, but this does not appear to be what I experienced. I used SE connections from pre the Primaluna, and balanced to the Apollon. But both connections were the same type on each channel of the respective amps, and the gain switch was se... | |

| Chair I have an original Eames and ottoman, but I still get lower back pain after long listening sessions. I suspect the right pillows/bolsters would help, but I am moving soon and the listening spot is more likely to be a new sofa. So I will evaluate t... | |
| Electronic cross-over on pre-amp out, to split signal to subwoofer and bookshelf speakers Check out Sublime Acoustic. They make two different levels of crossover unit, the K231 and the K235. Lovingly crafted in Northern California. The one issue that some people complain about is that to change the crossover point, you need a small ca... | |

| Band/artist documentaries. Gimme Shelter (1970) about the Rolling Stones Altamont free concert of which one of the mistakes made was having the Hells Angels in charge of security. @immatthewj The Grateful Dead’s “New Speedway Boogie” was written as a response to that con... | |
