What electronic audio products you want tested most

[digitalfrost]

As vinyl seems to be a matter of ongoing interest, I’d like to see some examples of turntables to be reviewed here. Like some Pro-Ject Debut player, any not too expensive Technics and maybe the Denon DP-3000NE.

The question is, how would you measure them?

That is indeed the question. I know @amirm has played around with the idea, but the setup and learning curve certainly seems daunting.

Given that TT's aren't really his 'thing' I can't blame him for that, but it would be interesting to see how it could be approached in a repeatable and useful way.

It would likely cause some of our existing members to blow some gaskets, but could bring in a whole new market segment.

Personally, I'd love to see it, but not holding my breath.

Shouldn’t be too much of a problem to get someone TT competent to join Amir in testing/measuring.

Easy to say, but considering the time and expense likely involved, it's a bit harder to find people willing to do this sort of testing pro bono that you seem to think.

how about testing the PRESONUS ERIS PRO 6

How about buying a pair and sending them in for testing? Or seeing if you can broker a deal between Amir and Presonus.

Because short of either of those, how would this test happen?

why did you jump to the conclusion that I don't have a pair of those speakers....... I never said that

Then skip the part in my request about buying some and PM Amir. He's unlikely to see a post in a thread, especially when you don't tag @amirm.

Why do you assume I should research the gear and post history of every person that posts an incorrectly framed test request?

 

[trioderob]

let me ask you something ....... would I be expected to pay for shipping? ....... what would the approx. turn around be ?

I can tell that I am not going to like this process ,,,,,,, take care ..... bye

Bye is right.

You are going to get a break to give you time to get a better feel for the place before you decide whether you want to be here in good faith or not.

So far it doesn't look promising, but hope springs eternal in this job.

I'd like to see some testing on the audio from Google TV vs Roku vs Apple TV, etc. What is the signal like before it hits the DAC (or, God forbid, the soundbar)?

From a conversation with my kid, who got a new place which is great EXCEPT for a very loudly snoring neighbor: I would like to see phone app SPL meters tested, to see how accurate they are. I'll volunteer my trusty Radio Shack unit for test as well

On the Android side there is known variation in sensitivity and frequency response between phone models. SPL meters will suffer from this, so an app may perform well on one phone model and badly on another. It's the same root cause as Wiim's room correction performing well with some phones' internal mic and poorly on others, and why they added external USB mic support for things like the UMIK-1. Apple have put effort into making sure the mic performance is consistent on all iPhone models, so SPL apps should perform well there.

Maybe this one would be just fine in order to get acquainted to the subject:

I can tell the lower mass tonearm gives a faster, more flexible response, doubtlessly yielding improved high frequencies. Are there quad encoded flexi-discs?!?

I really want to see the measurements of JBL Arena 120 and 130.

me too
