| High order crossovers @audiokinesis, "@trelja, can you tell me what the actual mechanisms are by which crossover parts count and/or conventional crossover topologies constrain dynamics? There may be effects I’m unaware of that are worth taking into account, even if the... | |
| Burt Reynolds has passed away As a kid in the late 70s, watching a guy with that much presence, getting the girls and cars and fun he did, he was everything we aspired to grow up to be.Rest in peace, Burt | |
| High order crossovers @audiokinesis, "Sorry but I must disagree that there is a correlation between parts count and how difficult a speaker is to drive."I don’t see myself at RMAF this year, but share your warm sentiments, Duke. It’s been too long since we’ve gotten to... | |

| new york city audio show 2018 As thankful as I feel about the resurrected NYC shows, they've proven among the worst I’ve attended. As I reported in many threads here, last year’s was particularly bad, with a incredibly small number of rooms and outside of a few outliers, poor ... | |

| Deleted Threads by Admin?? @glupson "I am not sure if that would be considered plagiarism"Getting my bachelors degree in the 90s, the university took plagiarism very seriously, and specifically defined it as using 4 or more consecutive words from another source without givi... | |
| chinese counterfeitng Though I've obviously made the statement shifting the accusations of counterfeiting by the Chinese back on the accusers, that doesn't mean I believe they produce the best sounding, best performing, best value audio components. They simply don't | |
| Dac Technology Mature? As someone who's done a complete 180 over the past few years to jump fully back to vinyl because of my dissatisfaction with digital, I for one, sure hope DAC technology is not mature. In our frequent get togethers, just about every person raves o... | |
