qirex posted:I once put on a not-particularly-high bitrate MP3 of "Nasty Ways" in a hifi shop because I wanted to see what sibilance sounded like on their speakers and the snares are way too hot on that track. The staff was not amused [but also the speakers were too bright]. They loved the long mix of Orbital's "The Box" I brought, though, it's my go-to new gear track because it has pretty much everything in it. lol if you don’t test your transients and dynamic range with Death Grips, E40, and the Tron Legacy soundtrack

qirex posted:IIRC it’s actually Harman’s best performing brand by miles, especially the retro styled stuff. It’s far more likely they’ll keep the name and just make increasingly worse products. Unless that’s what you meant by “kill” yes, that’s what I meant they’re going to kill the JBL that makes actual speakers, rendering it a company that only makes bluetooth dealies that light up

Kwolok posted:Not sure if this is the right thread to ask this in, but I have a nice pair of headphones powered through a DAC and AMP. I also have a subwoofer for bass that I run from the same AMP. So I have a 1/4" splitter that splits the AMP output with one going to my headphones and one going to my woofer. how charged are your crystals?

codo27 posted:If you had to choose between mounting a set of studio monitors above the computer monitors, pointing down, or underneath them and laid on their side, tilted up a bit, which would you choose? I have a secondary and tertiary display, one to the left of my main in portrait style, and another above the main. I'd like to have them all side by side, but thats impossible with my speakers where they are. gonna ask you the same thing I ask everybody who posts a query here: how charged are your crystals right now? how charged do you keep them?

Arivia posted:Honest question. As someone who doesn’t know poo poo about audio equipment besides basic consumer connections and what a volume knob does (I don’t even know how to use an equalizer), what do tone knobs do? they charge your crystals, duh (honest answer: depends on the piece of gear and the manufacturer and the underlying functionality of the knob in question, whether it controls one element or part of the frequency range or whether it’s simply one knob that controls “tone”. Oftentimes it involves changing a frequency curve from a flat response to something more V-shaped or that emphasizes the highs or the lows) trilobite terror fucked around with this message at 23:54 on Dec 20, 2023 |

njsykora posted:It's a source of constant interest to me to see how many old brands are still owned by something close to not a massive conglomerate. Though I was still surprised when I heard Sharp got bought by Foxconn back in 2015. Atari these days at least seems like they have their poo poo together enough to last 5 years without going bankrupt again. I think of the old Japanese electronics corps it's basically just Sony and Panasonic still standing after Toshiba got eaten by a private equity firm last year. In times like these it’s important that we continue to give Yamaha as much of our money and business as we can. Gotta keep rewarding them for keeping the fire burning in so many different arenas and doing it world-class when everybody else has either disappeared or withered away into badge engineering F4rt5 posted:Yeah like Technicolor are cable modems, and Polaroid is used for… whatever poo poo small electronics too. It’s sad. stealie72 posted:Pfft, Polaroid is the leading brand of electronics purchased by grandmothers at non-chain drug stores. I will not stand idly by while you besmirch their name. At least the Impossible Project guys were able to bring the instant photo company back in some capacity and get ahold of the name. The new cameras they’ve brought out have been really nice too.

RestingB1tchFace posted:Sourcing to my JDS Atom 2.....is it okay to use the headphone port from my laptop? I feel like I'm screwing something up somewhere. Even my Fiio M8 Pro I blast. Are mine ears bad? Seems like somethings wrong if I have this thing on full blast all the time. sourcing from the headphone out on the laptop to an external amp kinda defeats the purpose of an external amp, no? In any case, you’re not sending a line-level signal to the JDS, but instead a signal from the laptop’s internal headphone amplifier. So if your volume is turned down on the computer then that quieter signal is what’s being sent to the JDS. It’s no different from plugging an aux 3.5mm into a phone or iPod and connecting it to a sound output device like a car stereo: the volume control on the phone/iPod and the volume control in the car work in tandem but they are also separate levels. Ideally you want to connect the JDS to some kind of USB DAC.

Waltzing Along posted:I've been thinking about getting an older 5 disc carousel changer. I had been planning on getting a Denon, but I've read they are actually bad. I have a Denon AVR, which is good. If you’re using digital out they should all be roughly equally as good if you’re not putting like budget brands/models against higher end ones. A transport is just reading data and sending the ones and zeroes to your receiver’s onboard DAC so your metrics are stuff like build quality, motor longevity and performance, the state of any belts and whatnot. Sound quality should not vary at all.
