I was going to create a thread called "Audio Esoterica" for forum members to collate products created based on esoteric / non-scientific concepts, but then I re-discovered this thread, and I realised that what I had in mind comes under its purview. Here's my contribution: .

Why are you advocating throwing away headphones? Do you want plastic and metal to end up in landfill?

I have sort of the inverse question Theoretical scenario with one set of RCA inputs (powered speakers or amp) Would it be better to use two of these splitter cables or a switcher like this to connect two devices to the one set of inputs? Devices would be Schiit SYS (w/ two sources...

Issues with Motu M2/M4 on Linux https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=211975

Respect.

Given an identical level of input signal, will the Hypex NC502MP produce a louder output level than the Hypex NC252MP?

That's not the case, because early CDs were not heavily dynamically compressed. There might have been other factors at play which contributed to that perception.

I see. Maybe it's obvious to more techcnically-minded folks, but to me it wasn't. I reckon they should state that it's at 1kHz just to be 100% clear for everybody. Unfortunately I don't have enough money for a Benchmark AHB2. I have a Yamaha A-S301. I would like to change amplifier for two...

With all due respect, that doesn't answer my question... I'm trying to find out which wattage ratings I should be looking at on amplifier spec sheets. Amplifier spec sheets typically have a couple of different ratings that have been derived in different ways. Take this spec sheet from a Hypex...

https://www.crownaudio.com/en-US/tools/calculators#amp_power_required The calculator gives the required amplifier power in watts, but how does this relate to amplifier power ratings? As I understand it the Required Amplifier Power figure should be used to find an amplifier with that amount of...

Is the RCA -> XLR hum likely to be an inherent issue with the amplifier or down to the cable or source?

AKG Y50.

Did you work out what was causing that? Does it still happen?

I watched that video and hated it. It's absolutely ridiculous. What on earth is a "sound tuning for the European market"? I don't know what the power dynamic is in these two individuals' working relationship, but I felt sorry for the guy changing the parts in the amp having to pretend he...
