    There's a really nice rant starting at 42 minutes into the show. He complains about acoustic design conventions, control rooms of fancy studios, and mainly that the main monitors usually sound bad.

    Kiwi Ears Quintet

    These look pretty interesting. It's a quadbrid IEM around the 200$ mark. Previously something like this (or even a tribrid) was only available at a much more expensive price point. https://www.linsoul.com/products/kiwi-ears-quintet?variant=43965912711385 Tuning seems close to the XENNS Mangird...

    If a volume pot fails, how does it fail? IEM safety with power amplifiers

    Just wondering because I have sensitive IEMs connected to a rather powerful amplifier. https://www.macrumors.com/2022/05/17/apple-airpods-pro-amber-alert-lawsuit/ As long as I have a classic analog volume pot in between I should be safe right? Or not? What happens if these start to go bad...

    Any mobile SPL warners / alternative to Apple watch?

    I was in a loud environment and sadly didn't leave soon enough so now I'm having some problems. I saw that the apple watch can warn of those things: But I'm not an Apple user and I don't want to start. Are there any cheaper alternatives? Maybe something you can connect to your keychain and...

    DSP filter latency

    I am using EqualizerAPO both for crossover duties as well as overall correction. So far, I used custom made biquad IIR filters in EqAPO to do the crossover (24dB LR). Mind you I have no idea what I'm doing I'm just good at copying others homework. I measure the whole system with those filters...

    I need noice cancelling headphones for the office

Also, I have a lot of people in the office that I can hear through my closed-back NAD HP50. I like the HP50, however I've calibrated it...

    Can speakers be as precise as headphones?

    When I was young, I spend hours in the living room while my parents were watching TV, listening to music on headphones. They were either closed or half-open, whatever it was, sound didn't leak out enough to case a nuisance. From that age, I remember that headphones were somehow more detailed...

    Assuming you have a multi-channel setup, or semi-active or fully-active stereo speakers, all with separate components: Can you simultaneously use multiple different stereo DACs? I'm thinking different time-delays in the DA conversion could be an important factor. Especiallly if you run a...

    Knives. Knifethread.

    Audiophiles are people that like overbuilt things. Things that are much better than necessary. Looking at the watch thread, I realized one thing. I might have a hifi problem, and I might have a watch problem. But for sure, I do not have a knife problem. I mean these are just 4 of my...
