Let's make it more challenging: how many recordings of Beethoven's/Brahm's/Bruckner's/.../Schumann's/etc. 3rd, how many interpretations of that piano/violin/cello concerto does one really need?Or do you draw the line at audio gear?For the past 3 deca...

Have you considered "fencing" your equipment bay?Such a baby-proof fence might actually be made to look nice (more so in a large room such as yours) and you wouldn't have to reposition all your equipment and cables...again.Ric...

[quote user="Amir"]i do not claim and i just think the right way in audio design is making components more linear in micro then trying to speed up their response and the last parameter to upgrading should be macro linearity.[/quote]Hello Amir,Could y...

Sound. That was interesting. Something was very severally compromised in there across the board and it was clearly at the very beginning. I do not Meridian sound but I did have ...

It was a conversation a few days back at one of UK forum:

The unfortunates from the forum did not get the message. They with their Chines...

Many people I know don't really have an active, critical approach, they are just looking for entertainment when they read a book or watch a film, attend a music concert or a ballet.
I think that it all depends on what you are loo...

Not horns, but attractive nonetheless...the promotional video is beautiful and healthily devoid of any audio crap-talk:

Romy,His website has a lot more information than that:Do lossless compressed audio formats all sound the same?http://archimago.blogspot.pt/2013/05/measurements-do-lossless-compressed.htmlDigital Filters and Impulse Response...http://archimago.blogspo...

If you are interested in the technical aspect of the effects that different D/AC (no-oversampling, no reconstruction filter) and cable (USB, S/PDIF, Toslink) topologies have on signals I recommend you have a look here:

This is what the Cessaro sounded like last year:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fvA43ym5cYo&feature=youtu.beI don't think he's "upgraded" his camera in the meantime.There's this other "local guy" doing video reports with reasonably good sound bu...

I would definitely produce either Le Cleac'h or Tractrix eliptical profiles as these are far more domestic friendly, especially in Europe were rooms are rather small and ceilings low.And perhaps a half-circular (80/150Hz) for the same as well as cost...

[quote user="Paul S"]Telus, I did not complain of "16/44" or of "hardness" but of a range of problems with digital sound I've experienced. I have also whined loudly about SACD in other threads. My present digital system is my best attempt to get as...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]The reality is that most of audio people have extremely poor listening intelligence when they deal with audio. Listening intelligence, something that I been stressing for years, is not considered...

I guess the tricky bit would be to customize sound to someone else's "objectives", "taste", whatever.As an architect I deal with a similar problem every day: trying to idealize what the customer wishes (from a messy mishmash of the input and preconce...

Could it be that the sound is somehow equalised and compressed by Youtube?There's an obvious sound change at min. 3:30 but it should be more pronounced.I think it would make more sense if we were to upload a 16/44 of our system playing the same recor...

[quote user="Paul S"]This question is posted as I ponder an audio future without ML2s. It looks like my speakers will be around 92/93 dB, with plenty of large motors to drive. Yes, it will be multi-channel (5); but still each channel needs more pow...

I agree with both of you: in my opinion this kind of presentation is really very effective on it's target public, but I have a hard time keeping my lunch in even before DW begins his visionary "insights".
