    Optical hdmi cables

    I bought a 5m Pro snake optical HDMI cable to use between my laptop and TV set. As this gets moved around alot its very practical with 4.8mm of very pliable cable. Cant recollect being more satisfied with a cable buy ever. It feels more like a USB cable than those whip an elephant HDMI´s of the...

    Veneer over existing speaker cabinet

    The key to working with hide glue is open time of the glue and how to extend that. As hide glue is basically gelatine and coagulates below 60c you need the shop and equipment for this. Hot plates, heated sand, heating iron and such. This certainely gets truer the bigger the surface. When done...

    RME ADI-2/4 Pro SE

    Better get ADI-2 pro. ADI 2/4 and the linear PSU is most of all a push for audiophile buyers. With the PSU its twice the price.

    Understanding the state of the DSP market

    Obviously ppl are concerned with room correction and x-overs. I always wanted some hardware based, global, tubefilters to cozy up the sound a bit. A device to add some colour to the sound. I had a really nice *.VST I managed to get to work with JRiver, but it was lost to me. Around 20 knobs with...

    "Bias" of some members towards headphone measurements?

    Right! Synthesize is probably an overreach, not to alienate oneself completely is maybe a better term. We all agree audio is a mighty cool thing! :D

    "Bias" of some members towards headphone measurements?

    It makes sense as it is ASR, Audio SCIENCE review. To meet evidence with evidence. Well everybody who´s a scientist, put your arms in the air. To work in a laboratory is an actual education. So where does that leave us? I think parts of ASR has been taken over by paranoia and hostilty. I...

    "Bias" of some members towards headphone measurements?

    Sounds like the beginning of the end. Are you gonna take of in a flying saucer now? I can tell you for sure that audiophiles have been searching for endgames since before the concept of audiophilia was even established. Wheter its transistors vs tubes or subjectivity vs measurements, analog vs...

    Is coax 75ohm stupid legacy for home use?

    If you have some old copper coax inwall why not. I ripped it out when the parabola quit. Otherwise ethernet is the way to go, and for myself I use cable´d as much as possible. TV is whitout RJ45 so thats out the window. If I buy something new, I make sure it has proper contact options.

    If tubes amplifiers measure poorly, why are they perceived as sounding better?

    I find it complicated to use these plugins for a number of reasons( Not specifically the ones you recommend here, I havent tried these). In general they are usually designed to add effect to single instruments and vocals. Applied to a mix they mostly muddy the sound, I think. Further, if you hit...

    If tubes amplifiers measure poorly, why are they perceived as sounding better?

    Either measurement is wrong/incomplete or you have a mental/physical condition. If I had the money to spend, only thing from getting a fully tubed setup would be inconvenience for changing and biasing tubes. Ask yourself: how can a $300 record player and a stock riaa give you full sound when it...
