    Bose QuietComfort 35 II Review (Noise Cancelling Headphone)

    No ideas how the MEMS - microphone for speech can be improved? What do the 3 Connectors FM+ / FM- / FMB mean? They could give me a hint how the MEMS - mic is implemented...

    Nominate Your Favorite Track of 2024 (Contest)

    Very old - but while doing research on the history of Calcutta between 1971 and 2010, I stumbled over it in the beginning of this year: Immediately bought the CD, but Ravi Shankar outperforms the Rock Giants of the seventies.

    Bose QuietComfort 35 II Review (Noise Cancelling Headphone)

    Opened mine because the voice mic was not working properly. The mic was almost muted, it did just let some scrambled peaks through. After replacing the voice mic, things got better but the sound of my QC 35 II is still far worse than in this review, check from minute 2:35. Even in a quiet...

    Sony CDP-227 ESD measurements

    Bomb proof transport: The force with which the disc is pressed onto the platter is also generated by a leaf spring and not by a magnet, as in all subsequent designs. I wonder if they were very careful 42 years ago and thought that a magnet might interfere with the control of the laser lens...

    Sony CDP-227 ESD measurements

    They were also built to last. The service manuals are a good indication for this. In the first generations, service technicians got thorough instructions how to swap lasers and align them mechanically and electronically.

    Sony CDP-227 ESD measurements

    It is also understandable that Philips drives - I assume the first generations - were not able to consistently scan scratches without errors, because the lens/arm assembly of the first swing arm drives had to / could be adjusted vertically to the surface of the CD. I remember that this...

    Sony CDP-227 ESD measurements

    I remember that CDM-1 swing arms tracked extremely well across errors on the pit surface (don’t remember the “classical” scratches.) and traverse mechs did not. I guess the reason is that coarse and fine tracking are not aligned when the servo loses the signal in traverse systems (but still work...

    Sony CDP-227 ESD measurements

    I remember that it was very easy to mix up the internal connection cables on the Philips players because the plug connectors are identical. That was impossible with Sony. The Philips service manual was also horrendous because they printed code numbers instead of voltages. You had to look them up...

    Marantz CD-73 Review (Vintage CD Player)

    I remember I heard it when listening to the silent gaps between tracks and raising the volume all way up for a second. The CD73 was my first player when prices dropped. Unfortunately I sold it, being unaware of the built quality. All first and seccond generation players use the Sharp-LT022MC...

    CGI vs practical effects?

    Well, Oppenheimer did very likely use CGI, the last take where Armageddon starts in Oppies mind (the launch of nuclear warheads) kooks very CGIish. I was also disappointed of the „real“ explosion from the „gadget“. You could see that it was a lot of gasomine burning up. And also untruthful, as...

    Movie Soundtracks We Enjoy

    Re-Enjoying James Horner's "Sneakers" from 1992. La-La Land Records released an expanded version last year (LLLCD1629). Even though I heard the original release many, many times, the expanded version is worth every cent, using many cues and takes that were used in the movie but not on CD. Here...

    SMSL SU-1 Stereo DAC Review

    Mine has the Rubycons already on board...? And better soldered, to be honest. As far as I remember, one Opamp was "treated" by SMSL in my DAC so you can't read the the designation. See image: https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?attachments/rubycon-jpg.310508/

    Maybe Amir should review movie theaters

    Well, you are not working as a professional DOP. And if you were to read the article, you would realize, that the pros and cons of a medium do not exist. It is always about the versatility of the tools and DOPs think much more about the character of the lenses they choose. Also watching true...

    Maybe Amir should review movie theaters

    Celluloid only smells when you load a camera with it or edit it, like I did. And watching the same take digital emulated analog or “true“ analog, you won‘t be able to tell them. And there is too many top notch DOP‘s (Like the members of the ASC) coming from Film who embrace digital and never...

    SMSL SU-1 Stereo DAC Review

    Could theoretically be that the legs of the caps already introduce noise. But I have no scientific source to cite, it is some time ago I recapped myself.
