    Those of you who believe measurements aren't the whole story, do you have a hypothesis why that is?

    Measurements are at best 30% predictors. People rely on their eyes to hear. That is a fact proven in peer reviewed study. Expectation bias rules all. If you blind test two speakers, and like one above the other consistently, but it is ugly and the other is beautiful, you will consistently...

    Retired and trying to simplify down to 2 channel only listening

    "THE WIRES," my wife cries, I am sick of all these wires. Who can blame her, I have two home theater setups each with 9 speakers plus 2 sub woofers. The other day I was accidentally listening in stereo only mode and was shocked when I discovered it. This made me think that maybe my old ears...

    Dynaudio Special 40 - WTF!

    Some "interesting" claims by Pro-Ject re: their new CD transport box...

    Only for mass market items. Boutique items have enormous price elasticity because of lack of competition and low startup costs for production. Look at fashion houses, very little difference between a Chloe bag and a Chanel bag, but Chanel commands a 5x price premium… it ain’t quality. I...

    Why SINAD is not important (article)

    My take is that the article has academic merit but the title is pure journalism. Academic papers often have titles that run on for fifteen or more words. Changing the title to something like… an evaluation of the merits of using SINAD as a metric for audibility in typical listening...

    I have no problem achieving any volume I desire, from 0.0 to TURN IT DOWN dB. Maybe you have a defective unit. The volume control via the remote is smooth and linear.

    How Do I Keep My Apartment Neighbor From Hearing My Subwoofer?

    And yet it is the only solution to not disturbing a connected neighbor. How is that classist? And why would one class be upset at another over offering consoling thoughts? Something is wrong.
