Yes, behind this ambitious title there is nothing to read besides
my typical rant about audio industry but there is also an opportunity for you
to think.
It is end of the year and audio industry is flowering with
all possible attributions ...

Got the book a few days ago. Wify bought it to me for Xmax,
nice wify….
I am quite surprised with the side per cost of the
book. As it was initially proposed I
felt the $150 is kind of stiff. As I got the book and see how it was published
and...

Vakman, thank for properly formulating our question, it is
not frequently happening. First things first: do not buy or replace
anything. It is impossible to get answers

I thought it makes no sense to install a more elaborate and
powerful antenna just to later add even more attenuation? Or am I missing
something? [/quote]The whole idea of directional antenna is the that it giv...

I was pointed out to Steve Guttenberg’s video “Meet Joe, and
his amazing DIY horn speakers” at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EFoCVw2AJRc.

Thank, Mark. A fully functional
hifi horn system for a very low price is a temping concern. Factoring, shipping
and footprint it is hard. Some sort of inflatable horns? You truly has to be "crazy" to have an interest in making audio for other peopl...

including Mr. Schlueter, I would maintain that many simply have no interest in

It begs in interesting question. How much in the tendency of
today musicians to “homogenize” sound and to play with a genetic color might be
attributed that nowadays a recording media is a main avenue how music is consumed
but recording playbacks ...

Recently I have a very interesting conversation regarding
the way how a person can be introduced to “better” audio. There is no need to
advocate to the readers of this forum that different quality of sound reproduction
might directly affect listen...

Yep, Happy Thanksgiving to everybody. Saying honestly, to celebrate Thanksgiving outside of US, we are in Mexico now, is kind of strange... I disagree that Audio systems are the interior decorator part of music. I rather think that for a person who ...

It has been a difficult time last 2 months in my family. We went

Anthony,
Yes, the numbers you got are closed to what I expected they shopped
be. Frankly the only concern we have is the Channel A. The in-room response down
to 18Hz is good and trust me there is a LOT of musical content in that 18-30Hz.
