I haven't logged into ASR in a while and as such am late to the Kef Blade review thread that got locked so I can't add to it. I wanted to discuss these two speakers/companies as I saw several people saying to buy the cheaper Genelec The Ones plus sub(s). I don't think I post here enough for...

I've used Gearslutz and had a great experience. Any others? Thanks.

Strictly between these two choices - vertical directivity or speaker radiation width (horizontal), what do you think matters more for sound quality? I've now auditioned nearly all the speakers I was interested in though they keep coming out with superb measuring speakers at a rapid rate. But...

For comparing the mastering of two CDs to see the frequency response laid on top of each other - does anyone have software suggestions to do this? Using Izotope RX I can do it for each individual file but I can't find a way to overlay them on top of each other to make it easier to read. Thanks!

Not sure if the time stamp will copy over to the forum's software. It's at 11:18 if it does not.

I'm curious what members are using. I have been using Google Bookmarks for a long time, but like many Google products when Google get bored of something it sort of just "exists" and bugs are left to be, like autocompleting tags was broken for several years. I feel comfortable using it since they...

I'm curious if others experience dry eyes, I imagine many of us spend a lot of the day in front of a computer. I use hard contact lenses (due to mild keratoconus) which exacerbates the problem. I have been meaning to look into studies (please mention them if you've already browsed these) but...

Looking for something that has 4 posts in the corners (this is just my preference appearance wise, I feel like it makes the bookshelf speaker look more seamless almost like a tower speaker), are fairly heavy/inert and entirely (or mostly) black. And I do prefer the look of square/rectangular...

I've never made a blind purchase on anything this expensive before but after all I've read I figured what the heck why not. I don't check all the usual hifi secondhand sales places like USAM or Audiogon, if anyone does and sees one of these come up would you mind sending me a message? It would...

Is this the way to go for a computer desk setup when you can't give the speakers much room from the front wall? Something like this was mentioned on another forum: https://heissmann-acoustics.de/en/wavewall182-wf182bd10-tw030wa09-wandlautsprecher-kinolautsprecher/

I had this rip cranked up last night so I thought some others would like to hear a sample of the title track. This is really great, natural sounding early digital. This sounds better than any LP I've heard as the mastering engineer cut the vocals a bit on the hot side on the vinyl which can...

Looking for suggestions for software parametric EQ that people have found to be incredibly transparent. Sometimes the best sounding mastering with the lowest generation source is mastered by older mastering engineers that boost the treble (sadly all too common with some jazz) and I want a way to...

I generally scan the booklet or if they're from smaller classical labels they often provide a PDF download. With classical music these often have some great information on the compositions or the performer's insights into the music. If they are difficult to scan or risk damaging the book from...

Noise reduction like CEDAR is one of the banes of digital audio. It "sucks out" the sound of the silence between notes creating this dead, sterile sound. Very hard to describe it better than that, maybe someone else can try. I have always relied on listening to music to hear it, but I'm...

There are some SACDs that don't adhere to scarlet book's specifications, if I had to make an educated guess based off what others that were familiar with the format wrote, this should be more common with discs that came out earlier on when SACD was being introduced. Michael Jackson's Thriller...

I have heard this sort of very low level crackling that resembles surface noise rarely on magnetic tape recordings. Anyone know why/what this is? It's in the left channel, beneath the piano sound and breathing. Click to download this sample. One digital cookie (flour, sugar, gluten free) for...

There is a lot of "hippie science" out there on healthy eating/dieting, I figured I would start this thread for proper scientific research/trials into this :) Here is a really good meta-analysis Effects of Vegetarian Diets on Blood Lipids: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis of Randomized...

I've always been an EAC or dbpoweramp user, I recently gave CueTools a shot since I had a factory manufactured disc with a defect that caused it to create a rip different from what is in the AR and CTDB databases as well as creating an audible glitch that sounds like a split second low volume...

This is one of those things I have wondered about. It is fairly trivial to build a PC that has extremely low fan noise, as in you will only hear the fans with your ears right up against the back or front intake/exhaust. We've come a long way from the early 2000s with PC fans, no one really...

I was doing some digging for Behringer 2301A that @Bjorn mentioned in the JBL LSR thread. I need active monitors that can be used right up against the walls. These have the ports on the front which is why I was thinking about them. I do like that they fared well in a blind test against the...
