| I'm going to buy my first tube amp. I need honest blunt opinions There is no app that allows amps to match up to speakers, someone would have to have extensive knowledge of the crossovers, voice coil, drivers, internal cables, internal components of the speaker and the same type of knowledge of the Amp. Tube ... | |
| Immersive Audio and How to Achieve It The best surround sound mixes I like are generally but not always good stereo mixes often they have extra dry vocals in the center than wetter vocals in L, R. The other instruments using the speakers to create points near the front and sides. If s... | |
| Immersive Audio and How to Achieve It Someday soon AI will fill in the acoustics, but then there will still be many variables in the original recording that the listener will have to understand. Will the listener be put in the position of a listener in the audience, will the listener ... | |
| Building a 100 album vinyl collection 3 must have albums are? I love so much of this music, interesting that it's practically all recorded on old equipment that doesn't sound near as good as we have now. Funny how the important part ultimately is the music not the equipment. Chris Botti - When I fall in lo... | |
| Thinking about a Steinway Lyngdorf system I would say definitely buy the normal headphones, I bought some in ear phones 1500$ by Sure and they sounded good but simply didn't have any air at all, I think in ear phones are useful in very noisy situations but for normal listening they are mi... | |
| Thinking about a Steinway Lyngdorf system @kota1 I really didn't like my headphones when I first got them and a Naim HP amp. What was wrong was I didn't burn them in long enough they sound great now. I have the Focal Stellia they are comfortable and are closed which is what I wanted open ... | |
| Thinking about a Steinway Lyngdorf system @kota1 Thank you. Why doesn't everyone use DSD, SACD, I would worry that there will be no equipment to play it back on in the future. When I started in the studios 2 inch audio tape and even 2 inch video tape. You really can't playback any 2 inch ... | |
| Thinking about a Steinway Lyngdorf system @kota1 I would really like you to tell me how you are remastering in DSD? Are you using it as a playback format from other formats, or are you getting DSD originals? I'm probably misunderstanding, how would copying to DSD make anything sound bette... | |
| Thinking about a Steinway Lyngdorf system @prof I cleaned my Steinway grand for the first time yesterday, I was amazed at the craftsmanship every part of it was perfect. @kota1 You'll appreciate this, the Steinway salesmen goes all over the world listening and talking to people about ver... | |
| Thinking about a Steinway Lyngdorf system @kota1 The main sales person from Steinway came to the house and listened to my sound system. He gave me a few good notes but I don't think the Steinway system is for me, everything is proprietary I would have to get rid of all my equipment. He ga... | |
| What speaker could safely be ordered without hearing it first? I don't think it's a bad question, it's just an out of place question. In a professional studio you can buy speakers that are known in the industry and that have good polar patterns. In a home you usually don't start with a clean acoustic canvas s... | |
| Heavy duty amp stand, Sonic benefits? I can feel the base of my system in my chest acoustically. Seems like the better system you have the more you need to keep equipment in another room. But then again studios often use powered speakers (amps inside the speakers, a very violent envir... | |
| Used PS Audio BHK 300 monoblock or (2) new benchmark ahb2 bridged? @curiousjim Thanks for the note, I've had 3 BHK preamps and love them because they sound great, the problem is I have Paradigm 9h speakers that are hybrid they have amplified low frequency built in and the mid and high frequency are beryllium so t... | |
| Why Do Cables Matter? @tjag I agree I like my tube system much better than my professional system that is much more accurate. Again I think the only way you can tell accuracy is to have a system that images razor sharp and reveals mistakes that the mixer didn't hear or... | |
| Used PS Audio BHK 300 monoblock or (2) new benchmark ahb2 bridged? Hiss the dreaded monster the PS Audio BHK preamp (I've had 3 of them) is not as quiet as my other preamps like the Lyngdorf 60 (theater controller) or any of the solid state preamps I've had but I like the BHK preamp better than the rest because i... |
