| The Psychology of Constant (Equipment) Change @deep_333 Agreed. I think you reach a point where, you become so used to a particular sound that the thrill is diminished. That's when you begin thinking about changing it up again. I run my system as a "playback studio" that enables me to change... | |
| DSP? Does it really do that much??? @emergingsoul There isn’t a system on earth that couldn't benefit from prudent use of DSP, because there’s no perfect room, and there are no perfect transducers. Not at any price. With that frame of mind, why did you buy the thing in the first pla... | |
| DSP? Does it really do that much??? @emergingsoul DSP computations are complex and extensive. Still, the automated corrections are overall much simpler and quicker to perform than a manual approach, as well as more accurate (assuming you’ve done it right). Sounds to me like you’re... | |
| DSP? Does it really do that much??? +1 @mapman DSP is incredibly beneficial to music reproduction when done right. Done wrong, it can destroy the experience entirely, and most users unfortunately don't learn its nuances well enough to do it right. Also, while DSP is a wonderfully ... | |
| Stuff You Tried To Love Two previous models of Emotiva pre/pros. Sounded fine but buggy as hell and slower than Christmas to respond to user inputs. | |
| Titanium Voice Coils - where to get best price? @audiokinesis Thanks for clarifying. That is entirely different from what he asked and makes much more sense. | |
| Titanium Voice Coils - where to get best price? Why? You do realize that titanium exhibits extremely low electrical conductivity, don't you? | |

| Does anyone know where to get a Rega P8/P10-style dustcover? Have you looked on eBay? Here's a brand new Rega D/C for sale...

| A little deeper on amp power please.... I have always found the sound from any given pair of speakers to be smoother (less grainy and more natural) when driven with larger power amps, regardless of listening level. This impression was less pronounced with tube equipment than SS gear, du... | |
| Anyone listen to Music on a FM tuner anymore? Does HD Radio qualify as FM? If so, then yes. The Phoenix area has a number of HD Radio stations that provide excellent quality signals. The two to which I listen almost exclusively are a jazz and a classical station, both of which are operated by... | |
| Denver used market? Is ListenUp on Pearl a viable option? A friend of mine worked for that store several years ago. They were very reputable back then, but I have no idea what their current rep is. | |
| Taylor Swift Concert Prices Value, like beauty, has always been in the eye of the beholder. For a Taylor Swift fan, a grand or more for a seat at one of her live performances may be acceptable, even if not exactly a bargain. Not being a fan of her music, I wouldn’t pay a gra... | |
| What is the VERY BEST CD album you've ever heard? 1978 Denon release of Archie Shepp and Dollar Brand titled Duet. The cleanest, most revealing recording I've ever heard in any format, regardless of genre. Excellent dynamic range, unmolested transients, superb definition. Play this when you want ... | |
