    Is PCM digital audio inherently and audibly flawed? NO!!!

    bmwuk, I can relate to your martial arts experience. When I was taking TKD, I didn't know what would work in a fight. However I was pretty sure that TKD wasn't it. All those funky forms they do and weird stances etc... yet when they spar it just looks like kickboxing. Noticed the same thing in...

    How "Fast" is your bass? Does your subwoofer have "Speed?"

    My old speakers had the Fastest bass in the land as they used planer woofers. Start on a dime and stop on one too. Just teasing you Flint with some Audio mythology, they did have great definition. Too bad about the limited dynamics and inability to play very loud.

    Upscale Audio's Kevin Deal spews false tropes mixed with good advice

    I was very impressed with Revels beryllium tweeter for the brief time I heard it last year. I would say it was one of my five favorite speakers of the show and It does have the phase cap you recommend on it too. Of course it could have a coating on it also, outstanding imaging is what I heard.

    Upscale Audio's Kevin Deal spews false tropes mixed with good advice

    I've heard the beryllium tuning fork from a Paradigm salesman a couple of years ago, thought it was pretty cool. I also like their very expensive headphones, I thought they were equal to my HiFiMan 1000V2's. The front part of the store looks pretty conventional, but the stock room for all the...

    Upscale Audio's Kevin Deal spews false tropes mixed with good advice

    This months issue of HiFi News has a review of Focal's top of the line speaker, Focal Grande Utopia EM Evo. It costs a $159k in British Pounds, it has a "field coil/electromagnetic woofer (no permanent magnets). They gave it an Editors Choice Award, which is ironic since it only scored an 80 on...

    8K TV already?

    While I bought my dad a Sony 4K TV about 3 1/2 years ago, I have still been using a 2010 Panasonic, demo model from Best Buy. Will probably upgrade this week or the next to 4k HD with Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos etc,,, If you buy an 8K now you will be missing out on 3D without glasses or...

    Hifi Shark a Search Engine for buying and selling gear

    https://www.hifishark.com Seems they have really updated the website, which is good as the old one looked like something out of 2005. Supposedly it can check almost a hundred websites at once.

    Use the best speaker for the job at hand - size versus bass

    "The system used a mass loaded transmission line bass cabinet to coax an 8" woofer to produce bass as low as 25Hz mated to highly efficient and high-output capable planar and ribbon midrange and tweeter drivers." Sounds like Emminent Technology LFT8B's to me. I love planer type speakers sound...

    Use the best speaker for the job at hand - size versus bass

    Well except for the big Wilson's, my JBL's 15" woofer competes or surpasses with just about any speakers I have heard. The bass is very palpable, you can feel the bass with no problem, no compression like with my Magnepan's. However I never find it boomy, it can play loud no problem. also no...

    Flint: High Dynamics, Low Distortion, State of the Art Hi-Fi Custom Speakers (2018)

    http://www.vaporsound.com/speakers/perfect-storm/ I know a guy who had a speaker company, Vapor Audio. His top of the line model was my favorite speaker of the show at AXPONA a few years ago. Only cost $30k, then he got hooked up with a dealer network and I think it doubled. He had a personal...

    Your not down with the Art Gallery theme, it does seem a kind of sterile. Thanks for posting the pic Zing.

    Use the best speaker for the job at hand - size versus bass

    When rate, I meant as I am using them as stereo speakers, with High Fidelity aspersions. Also vs the high end speakers of the day, Magico, B&W, Wilson, YG Acoustics.
