| Who said “ flat freq response “ is the best? @elizabeth , I think you are absolutely, and without any doubt in my mind, 1000% correct!!!Easier said than done sometimes maybe...but not impossible (if you don't confine yourself only to the most immediate possible causes and are persistent). A... | |
| Who said “ flat freq response “ is the best? "Flat" means a component or speaker is not likely to color the sound on its own. The problem is that there are many different components in the system...and then there’s the room itself...and your own hearing, your mood, etc.The problem is not so ... | |
| What makes a speaker sound great at low volume? One thing I'd say you likely Don't need (necessarily) are expensive, overdesigned drivers. Even ordinary paper cones are quite competent and capable of very nice combinations of musicality and detail/resolution. An exception in your case might be ... | |
| Pro Amps - What have you tried? I use Crown XTi-2 power amps (3) to power my system. Class AB, negative feedback, extra digital conversion step and all - but with all the power treatment I have on hand to throw at the whole system, they’re sounding better than great. What attrac... | |
| Munich 2016 and 2017 from a Speaker Designer's point of view A good read. More in-depth in some of the ways that count than about any "reporter" Thanks. | |
| The new Synergistic Research BLUE fuses .... I did miss the party, but mapman's post was indeed hilarious. More...uh..power to him. | |
| The new Synergistic Research BLUE fuses .... @gdhalMy guess was, since apparently none of the other Oppo’s are soldered fuses, that Oppo had been farming out the fuse-holder part to a supplier. Once it became clear Oppo was going under no one was allowed to renew a supplier contract for a pa... | |
| The new Synergistic Research BLUE fuses .... @oregonpapa Thank you for that post."What Ivan called a 'road,' I always referred to as a narrow pathway. I could have called it a path too if, for no other reason, that it can so often seem to us that we encounter so few others at any one time... | |
| The new Synergistic Research BLUE fuses .... @GKThanks for your post on pseudo-skepticism. Much appreciated.@prof No, indeed I'm not trying to insult people. "I have voiced some skepticism about tweaks like the fuses, and have given my reasons. But nowhere have I made any close-minded abso... | |
| The new Synergistic Research BLUE fuses .... Wow. Hello all - I think I was fully prepared to walk into a buzz saw when I checked back in here. Pleasantly shocked to see positive responses....(although I suppose those blades are being sharpened as we speak!).Thanks for all the kind words all... | |
| The new Synergistic Research BLUE fuses .... @nonoise and everyone. It’s not really a matter of piousness per se, I’m supposing...or maybe it is, except of course that the piety is false...as it always is with these kinds of skeptics - regardless of the topic du-jour...cables, fuses, whateve... | |
| The new Synergistic Research BLUE fuses .... Did some reading on this a while back FWIW. The iron in hemoglobin (red blood cells) is weakly reactive to magnetic charge (has been demonstrated in a lab along with micro-graphs as evidence), but there are 2 kinds of charge - oxygenated hemoglobi... | |
| Two Type of sound and listener preference are there more? @rwinner "The attempt to install the 'original recording' as the objective standard for judging a system is doomed to failure from the start because It begins with the false premise that there is one, unique objective sound associated with the rec... | |
| Two Type of sound and listener preference are there more? "To be clear, I fall into the audiophile camp that wants it ALL: realistic imaging, well-resolved detail, dynamics, balance, and I want it in a package that is pleasing to hear. I guess I'd have to define "musical" as just that: pleasant to list... | |
| Two Type of sound and listener preference are there more? Maybe it's Not so much different ideas of what systems should sound like, but different ideas of what music should sound like.It's live music or bust, for me, but evidently many folks just don't require any such thing. |
