I think transients are too harsh through my digital signal chain. I think I need a pair of 100 lb class A mono tube amps (sitting in a rats nest of cables and boxes on the floor on $300 spikes ofc) fed by a soviet tube-run preamp to modulate the sibilance

I do but I'm not a fuckin clown that shells out piles of  for huge cables. I've just got a reasonable setup for around $1000 all in, and I get pretty stoked when I find a record that is so well recorded and engineered that you can hear the reverberations in the concert hall or hear quieter counterpoint melodies or subtle flourishes from the drummer/bassist and poo poo that you never noticed on dogshit setups.

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. This song is my new favourite track to demo gear on, it's produced really well, it's got lots going on across the frequency range, lots of little details and some diversity in style and mood within the track. https://twrp.bandcamp.com/track/black-swan-feat-dan-avidan Plus it gets the hifi shop staff looking over with confusion at first, and then they're usually digging it by the end. E: switched to the Bandcamp as it sounds better without the YouTube compression and whatever Mederlock fucked around with this message at 20:28 on Sep 25, 2023 |

Lowclock posted:Seriously though, on that Aiyima, wouldn't having the knobs in the middle be neutral, and having them both turned all the way down like that sound like poo poo? I don't see any specs for them anywhere. Probably, yes. That's how it is on my Fosi Audio amp in the bedroom, any lower than 12 o clock position and it interferes with the harmonics required to charge my crystals

ASR exists solely for posts from Amir and like 4 other people who test their gear to a similar standard, the rest of the forum is a complete waste of time.

GreatGreen posted:Did anybody catch the end of the description where it mentions that the guy who made this thing also makea audiophile fuse (called The Critical Link), too? Hey, donchya know that a Hifi system is only as strong as it's weakest link. Imagine not knowing all of the experiences you can take in from your Hifi system when every part of the signal chain, even including the lowliest components such as fuses, is fine tuned to perfection

The only thing I can think of that's remotely congruent with reality is that the cabinet of the speaker isn't braced sufficiently internally, and maybe the puck is dampening out some sympathetic vibrations or harmonics or something
