    Peter Walkers Quad

    It could be that, but I'd expect with a bridged amp it might be more limited into low impedance speakers. More than one way to skin a cat.

    A Call For Humor!

    Oh, this reminds me. Has happened several times. I've kept something thinking it would be useful or needed one day. For 10 years 20 years a couple times. One day I think, "well if I haven't needed it by now, don't guess I ever will." Then one month later or less, I NEEDED it. Should have...

    Suddenly noticing sibilance

    Just a guess, you were listening to your new amp and now you cannot unhear what was there before, but you didn't notice. Maybe too you are listening just a little louder to hear it better without realizing that is what you are doing. In case you don't know, sibilance is usually around 5-8...

    Measuring headphones (and others) with music as stimulus

    This is of course true. I gave up long ago trying to get this point across. As multi tone and other such things can easily be done that seems like a better way to convince someone.

    Any measurements of the Roon resampling algorithm?

    Not a Roon user, but isn't this simple to do? Even if Roon won't resample into a saved file just send the digital out passing to an audio interface with digital in. Record it and dump into Deltawave. You can compare two resamplings one from Roon and one from whatever else as well as the...

    Measuring headphones (and others) with music as stimulus

    Well there are some issues with speaker drivers at least. Not sure how relevant they are, but the result is somewhere between not-zero and swamped by larger factors. There exist ways to measure many of these. Except at the R&D level of driver design not sure how much this is used...

    3-Body Problem

    Not too many shows as well done as the Expanse. Even more surprising is the first 3 seasons were with SyFy channel which declined to continue. Then Amazon picked it up for the last 3 seasons without interfering with the makers of the series. Another show that was well done and concluded imo...

    Dayton Audio EMM-6 as good as UMIK-1 for someone who already has an audio interface?

    Well, it just means that the capsule is far cheaper than the metal wand they are mounted in I think. If the speaker is a small to moderate size 2 way 1 meter is probably good. If it is a larger 3 way speaker maybe more like 2 meters is better. Just have to play that one by ear.

    Network switch without any leds at all, does it exists ?

    You can turn them off via a phone app on my Ubiquiti router. I don't know if they let you do that in their switches or not. I use gaffers tape on my switch (which is another brand). Gaffers tape can be left on for years and peel of with no or very nearly no residue. It also comes in white or...

    Dayton Audio EMM-6 as good as UMIK-1 for someone who already has an audio interface?

    Don't know. Almost any small diameter electret condenser is fine to 2 khz and not bad even higher. So calibrated they'll be fine for our purposes. Many have a capsule in them when purchasing in bulk that goes for $1. I'm not in a position to choose any better.

    Dayton Audio EMM-6 as good as UMIK-1 for someone who already has an audio interface?

    I've seen all that info. Some of it is 8 years old. So try the ecm 8000. Check it against what you have. If it doesn't work well for you, you can send it back. Then try the Dayton.

    3-Body Problem

    I won't argue this much as it will become political. As mentioned by another post in this thread, in California you get tax credits for intersectional casting. There is a detailed list of criteria. I don't think it was in effect when this was filmed. Check into the SAG/AFTRA forms everyone...

    Dayton Audio EMM-6 as good as UMIK-1 for someone who already has an audio interface?

    I've used the EMM-6. I used a ECM8000 once, but it was long ago and they are made differently according to some. So I cannot give any help on that. I wish they had specs at Behringer for noise and max SPL. Probably would be fine.

    3-Body Problem

    Yes Auggie is a weak link and a central character. I'm watching the show. The cast is a distraction not a deal killer.

    3-Body Problem

    The unorganic part is this cast was constructed to fit a list. Again I wouldn't care who was in which part. If they had some actors in mind who fit the part and get whoever fits okay. That didn't happen here. They had a list to check off and filtered the casting through that list. So if you...
