    Truthear GATE $17 IEM Review

    Received yesterday. Already had Zero and Zero2. Fit well in my ears with the bigger tips. They sound good to me. Sound even better with the 154Hz low-shelf (stronger bass). i don't feel the need for a 6.8 kHz dip, and don't see it needed looking at the FR graph. Zero2 without EQ sound a bit...

    Thanks Amir! Is it a myth or no that ferrite beads can isolate a USB cable for 1$ ?

    Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 (4th Gen) Interface Review

    If you have to control volume digitally upstream, the convenience of having a nice volume knob is lost.

    Has DSP turned us into audio neurotics? [rant]

    TRUTHEAR x Crinacle Zero IEM Review

    Ending the Windows Audio Quality Debate

    Disable all but EqualizerAPO. In other words, first: disable all Windows enhancements, then second: enable a -4dB preamp in EqualizerAPO. Then don't touch the Windows enhancements settings again otherwise you would disable EqualizerAPO. In addition, in EqualizerAPO you can disable original APOs.

    LS50 Meta vs Genelec 8330

    Is it audiophoolia to care about SINAD differences which have no correlation in blind listening tests? H2/H3 distortion 'enriches the sound'?

    I can imagine someone prefering to purchase a car that naturally drifts to the left. But in very, very special situations. ;-)
