You know you've had too much ASR when...

[pkane]

you mean separate boxes, right?

not the ones in phones/computers

Of course!

 

[Wes]

Great! I only have two then.

 

[Harmonie]

You have not had too much ASR if you only have two DACs!

That's because I'm still a newbie

 

[Harmonie]

Bought a moment ago
One more DAC at home

Thomas, don't you want to come home and listen to a TPA3118? We bought a marvelous Panettone this morning, something perfect with a coffe.

So:
Your wife tells you to buy Panettone, and you come back with a new ... DAC !?!

 

[Angsty]

While Blind Cave Salamander sounds like the name of a Delta-region blues singer that Alan Lomax might have recorded out in the field -- I mean...
there are these guys people beings :

And they'd make a better performing phono than the Huei.

So, I must have had too much ASR when I've memorized the stack rankings of equipment by SINAD.

 

[Angsty]

Due to an error of mine tonight...

You know you have had too much ASR when you know when the headless panther became headless and why it sees more action now than before it was headless.

 

[GDK]

...you know how to pronounce both Loxjie and GGNTKT properly.

 

[AdamG]

When you crash your laptop because you have opened 3 trillion Google search pages trying to look up all the Audio Terminology used here. Like learning a new language using a fire hose!

 

[Katji]

^^^ jus' sayin'...

That doesn't include the current tabs.
Not too much of ASR, more like too much ADD. Those tabs have been there open for weeks, to remind me.

When you can no longer listen to music, because you don't have a microphone at home, to verify via measurements what you think you hear.

But to cover 1980 to now, you still have to do some research...

But to cover 1980 to now, you still have to do some research...

There are, like, three new terms since 1980.

 

[pavuol]

...you have to leave your family a bit too early after Christmas Eve dinner because you have so many (unread) ASR articles bookmarked.

 

[EJ3]

There are, like, three new terms since 1980.

That's funny, I lived on islands in the Indian Ocean & the equatorial Western Pacific from 2001-2018 and literally 2/3 of the of the time I have no idea what the abbreviations being used are (not specific to audio, either). In 1975 I passed my 3rd class radio/telephone license to operate a radio station, I produced radio adds, etc. On the islands We didn't do texting and didn't have reliable internet for more than about 3 people at a time. PEQ, DAC, ADC are just the start of the things that I have had to look up to see what is being talked about. And then to learn how to use them...has been/is another thing all together. It was really nice to never be less than 68 degrees outside, not change more than 8 degrees in 24 hours, never go over 96 degrees outside and to be able to see an anchor hit the bottom when you throw it into 100 ft of water. But we rarely used a computer (or phone that was a computer, so basically everything since 2002 is something new & never experienced before.

When you nearly get banned from another forum for your objectivist views about audiophile network switches.....

 

[Phorize]

When you close your eyes and you can still see Webster’s horn equation on the back of your eye lids.

[Colonel7]

When you start using frequency response and DSP analogies at work...

 

[Kal Rubinson]

When you start to use ASR to make analogies to current politics (rather than the other way around).
