| How competitive are you with your system? No, you’ve not heard my videos because there are none, until now, of the current set-up. But whatever... As I said, I bring the venue to the room. This is a regular CD on an Oppo-95. The speakers cost $1,500 to make and you are hearing a 23 ye... | |
| How competitive are you with your system? toddalin said: When I listen to music, I don’t transport to the venue, but rather transport the venue to the room. A deader room would put me more at the venue. When I do videos they tend to be brighter than what I hear on the couch because my ... | |
| How competitive are you with your system? My computer is not connected to my stereo. It has it's own monitor system. I suppose that I could download a track to a drive and plug that into the dongle of my Oppo, but I've not set it up to do this. Pick something else that is out there, pr... | |
| How competitive are you with your system? Mihorn, I don’t agree. I can hear the room. I can also hear a resonance in the room not on the original. But it is well treated compared to most. https://youtu.be/lDJP95aZ9L8 As I noted, any variation from the direct cut is a distortion. But... | |

| How competitive are you with your system? high fi·del·i·ty /ˌhī fəˈdelədē/ noun noun: high fidelity; modifier noun: high-fidelity the reproduction of sound with little distortion, giving a result very similar to the original. High fidelity is my goal and it requires reproduc... | |
| How competitive are you with your system? Mihorn has shown my case. Here is the direct transfer: https://youtu.be/CoOp12ayIVg And his wavetouch version: https://youtu.be/lM-vtW-bygs Load them in separate browsers and listen alternately back and forth at the same volume level. Ignore... | |
| How competitive are you with your system? If you think about it, if one were to use AI, they could do a digital rendition of a direct transfer and the recording and have the program "overlay" them looking at any differences in the bits. The fewer the differences, the higher the score? | |
| How competitive are you with your system? @cleeds That’s because you don’t know how to use it. It will tell you if a system has a smooth frequency response in the room and if there are peaks and nodes (assuming a good recording). Also, to do this, you need to go back and find the origi... | |
| How competitive are you with your system? "The only bragging rights would be for "how much was spent" which is at least objective, but does not say much else about the sound." That would depend on your crowd. Those at AK typically take the opposite approach..., i.e., "how little was ... | |
| So What Let's My "Mermans" Sing? Total investment in the speakers is ~$1,500. Speakers were purchased used and components were sourced on eBay. The 18’s were in the ~6.5 cu ft JBL "clone" cabinets and purchased from a church for $650/pr. The 10s were from eBay @$135/pr and... | |
| What exactly is critical listening? Who does it? I always listen critically because I want to know what the system is doing well, what could use improvement, and maybe most importantly, what the engineer is trying to convey (and maybe not convey?). I want to hear all those small changes that wo... | |
| So What Let's My "Mermans" Sing? BTW, I am in Orange County, CA and anyone is welcome to come by and hear this for themselves. I’ve been to T.H.E. Show, and there wasn’t anything that imaged like this AND could play rock music at realistic levels putting the show right there in ... | |
| So What Let's My "Mermans" Sing? This disk will put sounds all around and behind you. The soundstage and imaging are unbelievable, even with your eyes open and there is no sense of speakers in the room! https://youtu.be/KCGqlET-OP4 BTW, the room has no treatment at all and I u... | |
| Why not the piano as a reference for bass As to the Doors, I would hope that one's system allows them to differentiate the sound of a bass guitar..., https://youtu.be/ptA39Awo0FE and a Rhodes Piano bass..., https://youtu.be/nOJSmXSFCWk It should also be obvious as to whether Ray is pl... |
