A couple of people have mentioned unfamiliarity as the reason people balk at the high price of audio equipment, and I have an anecdote to share. Apologies if this seems self-indulgent--I only intend for it to be educational. I got into this hobby by accident. When I was working on my doctorate...

I have played that video for every music appreciation I have ever taught!

Thanks for this Rick! Just to clarify my vote for “multiple,” I have a 5.1 (used to have 7.1, could do so again soon) and a 2.1. I consider both equally important, although I probably use the 5.1 twice as often. I’m actually more interested in reviews of stereo gear.

I no longer have a dedicated listening room, just a family media room now with a 5.1 setup. I had forgotten about this video, but now that you've reminded me I'll have to try it in my current setup. Thanks! EDIT: I forgot to mention that I do have a low budget office system, but I have not...

I was never able to discover what was happening. I don’t have that system (or the room it was in) anymore so I can’t revisit the issue either. I would love to know if you find out anything.

Starting with this… “I just want people to have an understanding of why many jargons and terms were created (many created long time ago). So, just want to throw out a mini challenge to all.” And then jumping to this… “So, how are you going to actually doing what you are doing right now? How...

You’re best option is probably something recent from Denon’s 4xxx or 3xxx series. I searched for AVRs on this site and copied the link below. There are links to the individual reviews from there. https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?pages/Reviews/

I heard that it could be more bitter that way, but since this is a science forum….

I’m a big fan of the Robert Shaw recordings on Telarc. Mostly I’m just responding so I get notified of future posts on this thread.

I’m pretty new to tea and haven’t tried anything fancy yet, but one burning question: do you squeeze the liquid out of the tea bag into your cup before discarding? (Edited for clarity)

I suppose “huge” is relative. The c208 is about 75% bigger than my subwoofer. :)

If you’re looking for a matching center, it might be worth noting that Revel’s only 3-way center in that line is huge and expensive.

I’m pretty sure only the M33 has it built in.

Alternatives include NAD C399, upcoming NAD C389, NAD C658 + amp of your choice, minidsp shd + amp of your choice, or the Anthem STR integrated. All of these will be less expensive but have some trade offs. If I had the funds and wasn’t using a sub, I’d go with the M33.

The irony of this makes me chuckle. If you like the speakers, great! That’s fabulous and I wish you many happy hours of listening to the speakers you love. But if you come to a science and engineering focused forum and criticize the members for paying attention to science and engineering, you...

Could a person in Europe get KEF r5 or r7 for under 1500€? Maybe q950 or q750?

Erin is banned? When did that happen?

For me the biggest advantage to physical media is liner notes. I still listen to CDs, I still buy them, but it’s hard to beat the convenience of streaming.

I think I was there too. The one where he was sharing some rare presssings?

I always said I would never buy anything from Schiit because of the stupid name. Then I needed a new phono stage and I wanted the cheapest one I could get with some adjustability (this was before Amir had reviewed it or the Pyle which I might have gotten instead). So much for that. If it...
