The review of the YG Acoustics speakers system (and yes, I expect the budget canaries to tweet about the price) has a great mini-interview with the designer.
The guy says he measures, foremost.
If he hears something he doesn't like, he figures there was a problem with his measurements.
In fact, he says he does not 'voice' his loudspeakers.
On top of that, the review talks about how great the speaker sounds.
Hi, setting up my first audio sound system and I am as much confused as excited. My system is primarily for audio, room size is approx 4m by 9m, musical tastes indie, rock, funk. My current dilema is which pair to go for. After digging through the net and listening to various brands at stores, I've decided to go for Swans (even though conventional wisdom says listen before you buy) Now I'm unsure which model of Swans to get, 5.1 or 5.2 How much of a difference in sound etc is there? I can get a pair of new 5.1 for US$370 or the 5.2 for US$692. Thats a big price difference.
Time to bust or confirm an audiophile stereotype: David Chesky is wondering if you ever listen to rap or hip-hop music?
Hi all, I'm new to the forums. I need some help with a stereophile audio set up for my new pc, which I'll be using as a source for a 2 channel hifi system, for playing flac and wav (ripped cd's from my collection) audio files.
My PC has an Asus P5N7A mother board with Realtek onboard sound card, which I'd like to skip, and an Optical SPDIF output.
After some searching I selected these configurations, which I deem the most cost effective.
Hello all,
I hope you folks might be able to help me with a technical question for my first post.
I am in the process of converting my cd collection to flac files I can store on a media server.
Using EAC to create the flac files, I am presented with a screen that shows the uncompressed and compressed sizes of each track. Once the flac file has been generated a much larger file is produced from what EAC originally displays.
Hi, I am looking for some tower speakers that will give me the best bang for my buck ($4000 - $7000 range). From my research, I have found the PSB Synchrony One's and Revel Performa series quite impressive. Anyone have experience with either or both of these models? How do you feel they compare? I understand the PSB Platinum series is a little older - how do they compare to the newer (Cheaper) Synchronys? Also, I am very open to any other ideas.
