| Looking for the next level in imaging... is it possible to break down or quantify the importance of the different components and room design and tuning? For example—and I am just throwing out numbers as examples—would it be 30% room design, acoustics and tuning (to get a holographic im... | |
| Looking for the next level in imaging... +100 on over treating being better than under treating. Especially in smaller rooms where control is even more important. @ronboco i spent years optimizing the imaging in my large dedicated room, and holographic imaging is very important to m... | |
| Looking for the next level in imaging... Martin Logan’s do space and purity, but like omni’s are not ideal for organically solid full frequency imaging. one reason is that the mid and lower bass uses dynamic drivers, a different type of driver, so the coherency in the low frequencies is ... | |
| Music first or sound first? @patrickdowns it's always important to not take ourselves too seriously. and have fun. life is short. | |
| Music first or sound first? @patrickdowns you are welcome any time. it will be fun, then i can use the Neuralyzer on you. https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q14947464 | |
| Music first or sound first? i think @grislybutter had his tongue firmly in his cheek. :-) | |
| Music first or sound first? in my experience our love of the music pushes us to want better sound. then as we pursue music, and our tastes expand, the improving performance of our systems enables us to enjoy a wider and wider musical horizon. so the better sound opens up mu... | |
| What the Best Dac have you heard or owned. How could you tell it was that good. @calvinj today a friend asked me for a dac recommendation below the Wadax and below the MSB Select II, and i did mention that i’ve really enjoyed the Infigo digital at the Seattle Show last June, and also at Axpona 24’ too. i cited that Axpona r... | |
| What the Best Dac have you heard or owned. How could you tell it was that good. to properly judge a dac, you need to also consider the server feeding it. and the quality of the A/C power grid, and even the power supplies of the dac and the server. it all matters when you are chasing ultimate performance. the best dac i have ... | |
| AXPONA 2024 @botrytis i absolutely respect any listening opinions and did not in any way claim you were wrong. i agreed with you. when i sat down to hear the Gobel/Wadax/Riviera room on Friday morning and heard it do energetic music it was a relative mess. ... | |
| AXPONA 2024 @jayctoy i did not go into the Borenson or Raidho rooms at Axpona 24'. | |
| AXPONA 2024 @botrytis you are refuting my perspective, by claiming expertise on hotel hifi system room set-up. i am asking you to support that claim. how would you have overcome those room challenges? you did not need to throw my perspective back in my f... | |
| AXPONA 2024 @botrytis ok, describe that room (dimensions and layout) from memory. see if you recall just what is going on. | |
| AXPONA 2024 The Gobel/Wadax room is always disappointing as there is so much money there and some of the smaller systems sound way better than this room. People seem to get all goo-goo eyed about the expensive equipment - I went in Friday/Saturday/Sunday to ... | |
| AXPONA 2024 i enjoyed Axpona 2024, and i'm glad i went. i did take pictures of all the rooms listed below. here is a link to those. https://www.whatsbestforum.com/threads/axpona-24%E2%80%99-mike-lavigne-pics.38610/ it was awesome to see the level of attend... |
