| A Few Nice Words For Upscale Audio Nice to hear this success story. Seems we only only hear about the ones that aren’t. Thanks for sharing. | |
| Ken Fritz article I think it depends on the stated objectives and how those objectives effect others, and at what expense. Sometimes those outcomes are unknown in present time and may lie dorment for years (centuries?) before the final "balance sheet:" is known. | |
| Would you buy a pair of speakers by just looking at the measured freq. response? At the factory, frequency response is measured at very low volume level at a constant signal with the microphone placed in the optimum location. (+/- Xdb @ 1 watt, 1 meter). It shows nothing of the character of the speaker when things really get ... | |
| Ken Fritz article @goodlistening64 "Meandering thoughts by Jack Handey." Well played. | |
| He spent his life building a $1 million stereo. The real cost was unfathomable. @mahgister "The listening spot in a room is like a death bed, we generally are there alone...😁" ... and, the first time we had sex ... 😁 | |
| Ken Fritz article There's a "rule" somewhere that states "if you want expand some part of your life, it will pushback on others." I suppose we want to chime in and reveal our version of "the greater good", "a balanced life" and where to place our priorities. Someti... | |
| He spent his life building a $1 million stereo. The real cost was unfathomable. It appears that the equipment utilimately found it's way into the hands of those who do appreciate it -- at "market value". It could have been worse. Demolition, and landfill? Tragic about his relationship with his son. We are all familiar with... | |
| Your greatest high end audio purchase!!! Without a doubt, my wife’s wedding ring. She "allowed" me to keep my hand-built 6’-4" Alpine white speakers in "her" Living Room, and a revolving door of boxes, cables, blinking lights and things that made (mostly good) noises.. Just to demostrate... | |
| McIntosh 2.1kw amplifier? Preppers: If the power goes down, there's enough reserve power in those amps to jump start your John Deere tractor. Just might save your life. | |
| Premium Power Cable Survey: The Results Are IN I’m thinking of setup up a GoFundMe page for guys who have never listened to premium PCs and/or couldn’t hear a difference in their system to fly them out to A’Goners who have system(s) where premium PCs have been undeniably impactful. Maybe, just... | |
| can subwoofers make things worse? Short answer: "Yes". If you reside in a multi-family dwelling, a subwoofer can make the relationship with your adjacent neighbors worse. | |
| It's attention, not money, we should budget @mahgister You should be very proud of what you've produced with what you had to work with. I can't think of a more relevant response to the OPs topic. (My reference to acoustical panels covering the glass in my wife's vehicle was an "attempt... | |
| It's attention, not money, we should budget @erik_squires I’m agreeing with your premise. Establishing monetary metrics can get us "workable" results. Investing attention (time?) will get us better sonic results, for less money. The DYI reference was merely an example of time spent vs mon... | |
| It's attention, not money, we should budget @erik_squires I get it. I made reference to DIY, but also validated the decisions made by those who take the most efficient path from A->B. Yes, we frequently spend time (and, money) on whatever our kids have their attention on. I spent 4 ho... | |
| It's attention, not money, we should budget It’s been said that people will spend their money on what their attention is on. This is an easy hypothesis to prove when your partner, or klds/grandkids have their attention on something. So, "attention" and "money" are intertwined. It’s also be... |
