    What’s Your Triangle in Stereo Speaker Listening?

    Could ChatGPT Replace Audio Writers?

    So I asked ChatGPT for different opinions on the Meze 109 Pro. Here are its first and second (refreshed) answers. I looks to me like if we loose audio writers, ChatGPT will not have any source material to report: "As an AI language model, I don't have personal opinions, but I can provide you...

    Thoughts on Downsizing and Convenience

    When I downsized to a one bed condo, I bought a pair of KEF LS50W. These (or similar 2 channel powered speakers) will serve as a much better TV solution than a soundbar. Plus you can still enjoy your music with good 2 channel setup. I have also aquired several pairs of headphones so I don’t...

    Would you rather be a golden-ear audiophile or cloth-ear music lover?

    Harman for Golden Ears Only? I am now 75 and my audiologist reports that my upper frequencies drop several DB starting at about 6KHz. Using SineGen.exe, I cannot hear anything beyond 10KHz. I therefore find that brighter equipment suits me better. My listening enjoyment factor is still great...

    What dB level can you be exposed to in a Nightclub and how dangerous is it for your hearing?

    I am (belatedly) trying to protect my ears after years of abuse, to retain what I have left. I use these attenuating earplugs when I go to a cinema: Etymotic Research ER20 High-Fidelity Earplugs

    Audeze LCD-XC Review (Closed-back Headphone)

    I always look at the release notes to see what changes are in the “upgrade”. If it does not seem to offer anything I need, my attitude is if it aint broke leave it alone

    Audeze LCD-XC Review (Closed-back Headphone)

    I have the 2019 model. Steel headband with suspension strap, and bubinga wooden cups. They are still my reference headphones :)

    PC finally given up the ghost

    Yes. It took me a few days to restore all my apps and data, mostly because I didn’t have good backups. It also took a while to get Win11 GUI to look like Win7

    DAP vs Portable DAC

    I use the HiBy Music app on my M11Pro. The EQ functionality is very effective. It also has a Tidal link so I can apply EQ to my Tidal tracks. When out for a walk, I use the FiiO KA3 with my iPhone 6. No EQ with Tidal downloads, but it is better than carrying two large devices in my pocket.

    PC finally given up the ghost

    I sent my 11 year old iMac 27 to recycling after the video card blew up for the third time. I am a Windows user so I bought an all in one from Dell. I miss the 4 KHz screen, but am happy with the performance of the Dell. Runs quiet and cool.
