    MAMORITAI Euphony HP Amp Review

    I was ruminating for a few moments on what Amir stated when I came across it, I'm pretty curious what he knows on the topic. ...I got all this hearing loss centered at like 1000hz, and I've got no musical talent, I've been hoping that just listening to music and messing with equalization filters...

    Fosi Audio DS2 Portable DAC & Amp Review

    As far as people saying there's a panning effect, the effect I get when there's this quick fade in (have only used on my s24 playing the YouTube app, no downloaded audio player apps) is that one ear starts the quick fade in a split second before the other ear, and I think it varies which ear...

    Cross firing speakers

    I have the suspicion cross firing doesn't work when you have large equipment and a small desk in between your speakers, it seemed to intensify the sound, like too much powerful real early reflections or something

    Cross firing speakers

    Ya, as close to the front wall as I can make them actually (hoping the 3/4 wavelength dip is closer to where my speakers are more directional)! Can't move my speakers out in the room where I am, might not be staying in this apartment and city for much longer so don't want to invest in absorption...

    Is large toe-in recommended

    Toeing in more doesn't provide reduced front wall bounce induced peaks and dips? Having a greater variance in the distance between the left and right edges of the baffle and the front wall doesn't help? I'm very ignorant, seems kinda intuitive that it might

    Cross firing speakers

    Does the having the baffle at a steeper angle relative to the front wall perhaps reduce the response peaks and dips caused by front wall bounce?

    Fosi Audio DS2 Portable DAC & Amp Review

    So the earlier version with the ESS chip (and generally with power amplifiers), the lower gain setting gives you less noise when driving more sensitive/lower input impedance devices?

    Fosi Audio DS2 Portable DAC & Amp Review

    AAh, shouldn't have used that slang, 'phones When driving low impedance IEMs, will this drain your phone battery faster than dongles that aren't optimized for driving high impedance headphones?

    Fosi Audio DS2 Portable DAC & Amp Review

    I'm real ignorant so no one laugh, the gain on the amp is high level right (to drive high impedance headphones), does this mean it's less efficient driving lower impedance devices, it'll drain your battery more than if you were using that Sonata dongle that seems less maximized for high...

    Erin's review of Kef Reference 203.

    What I'm curious about, the crossover to the mid is specified at 400hz, my Revel F206's have this crossover right above 200hz and when I switch from my bookshelf speakers to them I feel the output from the woofers is separated from the rest of the sound more than I care for, so do these KEF's...

    Monitor Audio

    JA's graph in the Stereophile review shows a broad dip centered just below 1000hz, kind of at the center of the mid driver's band. Running a frequency sweep I feel I can confirm this dip (I actually have a lot of hearing loss in this region so I don't want to sound too certain about this). JA's...

    Monitor Audio

    I'm too ignorant to really be making this comment, I'm sure, but those Soundstage measurements of the Gold 300 6g don't look great. Don't they show one or two significant resonances, not the best directivity, and a fairly ridiculous tweeter? I'm curious why the tweeter has such a sharp drop-off...

    Wharfedale Diamond 12.1 Review (Speaker)

    @MZKM Also, I find listening to this test tone pretty edifying (not sure what sort of test tone one should call it, something continuously rising in frequency I found on youtube). It's stuck in my head how Amir commented on how a test tone sounded through the low woofers of the Revel F328's, it...

    Wharfedale Diamond 12.1 Review (Speaker)

    Hmm. ...I don't know if you still use those 5's, I would bet you anything that if you apply a boost centered at 1000hz that you can toggle on and off you will immediately realize there'a stuff missing in the mids.., also from what I see on this "Audio" site they very much seem to have the...

    Wharfedale Diamond 12.1 Review (Speaker)

    I've got the Jade 3's, see a nice pair of the 5's available. When I run a tone sweep at even low volumes I feel like the bass isn't all that defined. JA measured mine as being underdamped, I can't say I know what underdamped should sound like, but I feel like there's maybe always a bit of...

    Revel F206 Tower Speaker Review

    In my current situation investing in and installing absorption panels doesn't work and I don't have the space to bring my speakers out from the front wall, can I get confirmation that even with the distortion measurements shown EQing to deal with front wall bounce cancellation centered a little...

    How rare of a breed are we (audiophiles)?

    Should look for a newer thread to post, but my thoughts, Why does it seem so few people have sat in a movie theater and been impressed by how natural, how good, the sound is? Or been in a luxury car and been impressed with the audio? (I never had any exposure to audio enthusiasts before I...

    AKG K60 Vintage Headphone Review

    What sort of suspensions does this product's drivers have, I'm with the people wondering why these should be expected to perform as they did fifty-odd years ago? ...As far as speakers, what is the first thing likely to significantly fail, rubber surrounds, electrolytic capacitors in the xover...

    New Kii Seven

    If dealing with the fact that front wall bounce creates nulls in the low mids or bass is important, how come no one ever discusses the depth dimensions of loudspeaker models, as far as what's the minimal distance one can have the baffle (or center of the driver or whatever the proper measuring...
