| What if a high end speaker measures really badly? @soix has it right. The Alta Audio speakers should be listened to before buying. I was one of those commenting on the Alyssa thread about frequency response and discontinuity issues. There were three speakers from them represented at Axpona. I hea... | |
| Anybody have Experience with Alta Audio Alyssa Speaker I heard all three Alta Audio speakers shown at Axpona. All of them had the same issue. It sounded like the midrange driver did not correctly meet the tweeter making vocals seem recessed / distant / veiled. There was a suckout that just didn't work... | |
| I see the issue with ABX blind testing Nice video @audphile1 . It is good to know that there are people still interested in digging into why people hear a difference vice stating none is possible. | |
| Subwoofer speed is in the room, not the box The Danny Richie video is interesting. I often find his videos very well done and have a lot of great info. His explanation of speed is interesting, though. First, he comes out and states that the driver output tracking the signal input is not "sp... | |
| Young audiophile metal head looking to level up speaker choice For your budget and room size, consider the Tekton Electron. It is not the last word in refinement or imaging, but does a good job tonally and dynamically and should meet what you are looking for. If you stretch your budget a bit, there is a pair... | |
| Young audiophile metal head looking to level up speaker choice @killingforcompany Unless I missed it, you never stated a budget. | |
| Velodyne DD15 - worth repairing the plate amp? But there is a quick setup button on the back of the sub. @rwwear Are you sure of this? He is using the DD, not the DD plus. There is an auto-eq function that can be done pretty quickly using the remote on the DD. I don't see anything in the m... | |
| Velodyne DD15 - worth repairing the plate amp? It has composite video out for on-screen display. It does not connect to a computer. The computer connections are for software updates. It does require the remote and on-screen display to set everything up. It runs frequency sweeps that you can se... | |
| Velodyne DD15 - worth repairing the plate amp? The microphone connects to the plate amp. There is also a video output that you connect a monitor to. You would be best printing a copy of the manual for the sub and following what it says. The manual for the SMS-1 is pretty similar. There is a lo... | |

| WHY IS THERE SO MUCH HATE FOR THE HIGH END GEAR ON AUDIO GEAR? @calvinj I know that we met a couple of years ago. I am trying to understand why you let what other people think of equipment or how much others spend on it impact you in any way. If you do, that's on you and you need to look within and understa... | |
| WHY IS THERE SO MUCH HATE FOR THE HIGH END GEAR ON AUDIO GEAR? Why are you so triggered by what others say or think? And so much so that you have to repeat the topic over and over. As you say, we are all grown men, so grow up and get over it. YOU are the only one in control of how you react to what others say... | |
| Do you think driver “break in” is real? https://gr-research.com/driver-burn-in-facts/ Danny Richie includes multiple measurements of drivers at differing states of burn in / use. This article would certainly support that drivers do "burn in" over time. | |
| Can you touch the tubes? I heard that licking the tubes will give you deeper sound stage, and better channel separation! but you can only lick them counterclockwise Ahhhh!!! A man of experience. Lick one tube and you're a tube licker for life. You and @tubebuffer must... | |
