Hi everyone! Just noticed the discussion around BGM here and wanted to jump in—I'm the developer behind the project. I'm happy to...

It's all in the recording. Speakers and the room can only distort and diminish it. Headphones will reveal it better than speakers...

I really don't like the dispersion, no matter how flat the on axis and in room response. How hard is it to fit a little waveguide?

Thanks for the review Amir. For me this is what ASR is all about, finding gems like these Ascend speakers. For another $500 you can...

It is unclear how they achieve a good-looking spin curve without a waveguide on the tweeter when it is crossed over to a 6.5-inch woofer.

The suggested new components do have mildly better specs. But I doubt it will be a noticeable improvement in sound quality, because...

After aligning for 1 minute 30 seconds at 40°42'53.3"N, 0°29'37.9"E, the sun and moon continue their paths on August 12. The end of a...

Correctly designed modern electronics shouldn't alter the soundstage (imaging) in any way. It's only when the signal hits the speaker...

I suggest the term “soundstage” is not a measurable attribute of any component, but rather a collective result of a number of things...

A recording of what though? Or would it be to assuage the measurement-skeptical? In the general case, it's going to tell you exactly...

Do you want for me to answer to the best of my knowledge? The are no audible differences between well designed DACs. There are some...

Question: If that was done for any two dacs…would that not allow the difference to be calculated as “X db down” vs signal and...

I agree. It is much better to prepare level matched and time aligned recordings, 64 bit or 32bit precision in SW is much more than good...

Amir might hate me for this time consuming suggestion… …but it would be great if every DAC test had, along with its measurement...
