Hi A bit of a rant. I (and many others here, despite claim to the contrary :D) am an audiophile. I am also a videophile. I am forever annoyed by the various audio and video distortions that have come to signify someone is "clearly" using the Internet to either conduct an audio or video...

Hi After many years of mostly listening to headphones, I am at a point where I have to resign myself with a smaller room than I anticipated. To make a long story short, Life has a way to derail the best plans. I anticipated building a room at least 6 x 4 x 3 meters... Time is passing thus ...

Hi THis has to be one of the best series, I've watched in a while. Funny, Intelligent. Humour can be at times a bit mean or coarse but it never takes itself too seriously. One interesting thing. The movies is filmed in English and also, separately in Norwegian... The English delivery is funny...

Hi Call me a bass head if you will. I have posted many times my preference for multiple subwoofers, either Harman-Style or Geddes-style. I believe the best bass in a room can only be obtained with multiple subwoofers. For the longest time, I have held that sealed subwoofers are to be preferred...

Hi Thread was inspired by,this thread: Photos of rooms with acoustic treatment products... Many beautiful rooms. I used to dream of such rooms and back in the days, had a concrete room room with a Forest of Tube Traps and DIY clones. I was, in fora a staunch proponent of Room treatments...

Hi I use to be very certain about Room Treatments. It was a clear sign of a serious audiophile to have a pair of "Bass Traps" in the front corner, some RGP diffusors between the front speakers and if you really were a Big Time audiophile, a mixture of several of these contraptions along the...

Hi The movie business is interesting and complex. Movies cost a lot to make and sometimes as much to market. Hollywood has a knack to make big, megabucks , incredible successful movies. Tinsel Town seems to have find a way to tell stories that the World loves and market these appropriately...

Hi I have used headphones as my main transducers for now 9 years (?!? Time flies :eek:).. During these times I have had a slew of DAC and amps none of these as good as my current ASR Special combo ( Khadas Tone Board + JDS Labs Atom) .. The Atom drives any headphones I have with aplomb and...

Hi I find this to be one extraordinarily frustrating area. One would think with all these talks about the IoT, it would be very easy to automate some things in the home .... Not yet: Audio Video Systems are for the most part hard to operate. Operating these are usually left to the more...
