| CES 2013 - 4k and Ultra HD video thoughts I just read over at HDguru.com that when one placed an OLED display next to a 4K set of equal size, the OLED was preferred by him and a friend. The extreme contrast ratio negates the extra pixels. It's like saying 4K is akin to new tires on an old... | |
| What is tube rolling? I thought it was like log rolling but I crushed them all in my bathtub and went back to SS.All the best,Nonoise | |
| The profiteers have struck Squeezebox Touch $750 When it comes to gas, it's not supple and demand that determines the price of a gallon of gas. Supply exceeds demand. Our number one export is oil. It will be for the foreseeable future.Here is why prices don't correlate to the misused supply and ... | |
| Hearing Aid Confusion Great find there, Swampwalker.This is one reason why I love the internet. There is better than average chance that a forum will develop whereby people with similar interests can share their knowledge and experience. Some sites facilitate product d... | |
| Who needs drugs when you've got music? Getting back to the OPs point, yes, music can and does move me without the need of drugs. (Yes, I did smoke back in the day and drank beer to fool my parents. That was in the past and I begrudge no one here what they choose to do.)I'm just not tha... | |
| Static electricity Killin me. I tired my bedroom humidifier in the living room and it did the trick. Out here in the San Fernando Valley it's gotten really cold (for us) and extremely dry so I was arcing really good when touching my integrated.Not finding another humidifier I ... | |
| Should Sound Quality of Computer Audio be improved Thank you Timlub.I just have to add before doing my best not to post on this thread again that of the 10,000 CDs that are no longer available, I don't need any of them. Numbers can overwhelm and give the false sense that the sky is falling. How ma... | |
| Timbernation I have a stand from a long time ago and wouldn't hesitate to buy one again (though the costs have gone up the quality is great).What you allude to is in the past. One look at his site since shows lots more options and work being done.All the best,... | |
| Good power/Bad Power I was advised by Almarg to use a voltmeter to check and see if and how much my power varies from an earlier thread. It turned out my power never really varied by more than 1v all day long.I would think this consistency would indicate pretty good p... | |
| Stein Music Speaker Match I just retuned a pair about a week ago. I was lent a trial pair from TweekGeeks with the caveat that they seem to work about half the time. It depends on the speakers crossover, I believe. If it employs a Zobel type crossover, then it will have li... | |
| Should Sound Quality of Computer Audio be improved Theebout,Thank you for your thoughts and information. A lot of discussion here brings to mind what an ambassador once said about his role in the Middle East and the emails he received for his work. It goes something like this: "Instant access to i... | |
| One reason why audio is suffering: Connectivity The Roksan Oxygene line accepts the usual 3 RCA inputs and up to 16 different devices via Bluetooth. They recently bought out the design line from some European design house and they do look nice.http://oxygene.roksanaudio.com/I have no financial ... | |
| Wadia debuts new Integrated I think it's part of a trend to a cleaner, simpler aesthetic. Less adorned and configured. NuForce is doing it along with Roksan, which I really like:http://oxygene.roksanaudio.com/I find their new amp and CDP quite fetching.All the best,Nonoise | |
| D-SONIC SOA Class-D Core Amps. The best Class-D ? Looks like TEAC is using Abletec as well in their new line:http://audio.teac.com/product/ai-501da/The other two components aren't too shabby either. Who would have thought?All the best,Nonoise | |
| Listening Room Art Work I view the matter as an entirely personal one. Art is subjective and reflects the owners tastes. Only you can decide what looks appropriate.I don't mean this as a slight but rather an opportunity to expresss yourself in the manner you see fit. One... |
