I do believe that people bond with their equipment, and I think that can be a good thing.Wait, did I really just stumble upon an audio forum that strives to be truly objective and not have members constantly promoting snake oil, condescendingly explaining that you need 1000 hours before you bond with your equipment or having an e-pen15 measuring contest by telling everyone about the $10K dollar cables or power conditioner with vitamin e that they recently upgraded to? I must be dreaming! Joking aside, I recently found myself disillusioned after spending some time browsing a few forums including avsf*rum and found my way over here after some googling. Reallly liking the scientific posts I'm reading, especially the stickies, the amazing subwoofer/speaker tracking spreadsheets, and perhaps most of all, the general vibe of the community. Thank you kindly @amirm and everyone else who helps keep this place going!
I have a question for any old-timers or senior members around here, if one wanted to post about Audyssey calibration or related tools/scripts/optimizations (i.e. free/open source), without it coming across as "promotion" or anything, where might it be best to start a thread like that? Would it be in under room acoustics and general speaker discussions? Not planning on it right now, but asking out of curiosity.
While it is good to have objective standards, most of us wind up on a budget and compromising.
I think sanity requires learning to hear through imperfect systems. Isn’t that what breaking in really is?
