    ZMF Caldera Headphone Review

    I do not think any of the studies were random samples. So they cannot be generalized to the general public.

    Is it possible to have a subwoofer in an apartment without disturbing others?

    Probably. First, the subwoofer can’t be against a wall that you share with a neighbor. Use it against a wall that’s internal to your apartment (say, the wall between your living room and bedroom). Also, if it’s a side-firing driver, point the driver into the room. Or get a down-firing...

    Just how legit is this person's blind test results?

    From the link: “Double blind test: I got my kids to change up the wires into the amps headphone output randomly while I wasn't in the room and then I asked them to leave the room in another direction of which I entered the room.”

    Moonriver2, Jcally AP98 Measurements.

    Thank you for this. Did you find out what kind of filter (minimum phase, slow rolloff, etc.) that each uses?

    Extreme Snake Oil

    My family has two 2011 MBPs, both still running strong. In fact, my 2011 MBP runs Windows 10 in dual-boot better than two-year-old (better spec’d) Dell I’m issued for work does!

    The REAL Problem of March Audio's Sointuva WG (Review, Measurements and Reinforcements with Klippel device)

    Can you post a close-up shot of the tweeter gap? It’s hard to see what you mean in that photo.

    Out of curiosity, what type of filter does this use? Linear?

    Apos vs. Amazon dac return refund.

    All I can say is that when I had a product earlier this year that was defective, Apos paid for return shipping and the shipping for the new item. No problem. Also, it's clear on their website that returns in the 15 to 45 day window are subject to a restocking fee.

    Would be interesting to know if Amir has to return this amp (and other gear) to Topping or get to keep it.

    Violectric HPA V550 Pro Review (Pre-amp/Headphone Amp)

    Personally, I prefer to have one product that lasts, rather buying cheaper products that I can just throw away, thereby contributing to waste and pollution. When my LED TV broke, I took it apart and ordered a replacement board, even though I could’ve bought a new TV for only slightly more money.

    Blind test: we have a volunteer!!!

    It seemed clear that the agreement was that @GoldenOne was going to create a video showing that the amps were level-matched. On the video, a friend would switch (or not) the amps based on a random number generation. Golden could toggle between them with a passive switch. If he could...

    MQA Deep Dive - I published music on tidal to test MQA

    Your response — dodging my question — asking me how much of Stuart’s response I’d read was “information free,” too. Perhaps you should ban yourself?

    MQA Deep Dive - I published music on tidal to test MQA

    Streaming and download sites are not screening files for their spectrum before posting. Indeed, Golden’s files being posted prove this. There’s nothing stopping anyone from submitting “illegal” audio files precisely because services do not have the manpower to screen every submitted file for its...
