    Master Thread: Are measurements Everything or Nothing?

    Couldn’t disagree more. dont buy based on price, buy what sounds best. I don’t think I have “golden ears” but gear does sound different. Equipment is “voiced” by EVERY manufacturer, choose what you like and move on. assuming everything sounds the same is folly. It’s not about measurements but...

    Why are you still buying expensive premium gears when cheap stuff does the same

    Not everything is the same, personal preference is important. I know my Apple AirPo Pro’s are not the best earphones, but they are comfortable when I’m laying down and have noise canceling and I like those features. A lot of earbuds are not comfy when prone.

    Do Audio Speakers Break-in?

    No it’s real. But this is supposed to be fun, it’s a hobby not work, not going create a test protocol.

    Do Audio Speakers Break-in?

    I’m not reporting scientific results. But I am a scientist. I just love music and audio. Listen and enjoy, to each their own.

    Do Audio Speakers Break-in?

    I have that album! since lurking here I’ve been more skeptical but having brand new speakers the break in is pretty obvious. I get it tho, I don’t have data, blah blah blah. But with about 40h of play time the presence region is tamed a bit and I think the upper regions are a bit crisper. Never...

    Benchmark AHB2 and Perlisten R7T impedance question

    have no idea if this is truly accurate, but my dealer carries Revel and he said the rep said there were no upgrades in the works and the "be" series would be the upper tier line going forward. he also said the 228be and the 226be sounded better than the 328be. ive heard the Salon2 and think...

    CHORD M-Scaler Review (Upsampler)

    i have an M-Scaler, love it. sounds great. theres not a lot of difference between the lower sample rates but you max it out with dual BNC and the improvements are not subtle. you won't take my word for it though. but, to all the doubters, GO LISTEN!
