Hey guys, I bet you already knew I'd be testing these gadgets, right? Well I did. My curiosity overwhelms me at times, and I just can't keep from seeking the truth in audio reproduction as in all other matters.

Thus, I went and puchased three more of these pads, so I now have four. I tried them out different ways, but the best result came from using them in a certain way. See the drawing pls.

marriage, women...

Submitted by drbrianhandy on

Anyone else have difficulty explaining why purchasing $700 set of Jamo speakers is necessary to their wife? I'm turning 40 this year and I've learned that a woman is, well, sometimes hard to live with and understand. Sometimes I don't want to explain why I want to buy this or buy that especially when I'm educated and work in the hearing industry. Sound and speakers are what I do, manipulating DSP algorithms to enhance sound is what I do, having that discrimative ear is who I am. Wanting to sit in the "sweet spot" is what I need....

Allow me to share a bit of info on a clever little gadget: The Nano-Pad.

It may be rinsed with water and used and reused again and again. Sticks to a lot of surfaces. Look at the Youtube video to see how it's used on the dashboard to hold sunglasses and a cell phone in place.

Audiophile LPs: Fresh Blood Needed

Audiophile LPs: Fresh Blood Needed

Feb 25, 2010

Consider this a wish list from someone who loves owning classic jazz albums reissued on clean, thick slabs of virgin vinyl, preferably cut at 45 rpm—but who’s weary of seeing the same titles pop up over and over again with each slightly new format (180g, 200g, single-sided 45, clarity, etc.). I understand the impulse: certain labels and titles have a mystique (e.g., Blue Note and <I>Blue Train</I>); they’re surefire winners; it’s an uncertain business, so go with the sure thing.

The Entry Level
Submitted by wickitom on

I posted earlier about which headphones to buy and which usb dac to get, right now I am just thinking of getting the CEntrance DACport and some headphones. Right now I listen through Bose Triport Headphones. I was deciding between Sennheiser HD600 / HD650 or the AKG K701/K702. My question is which headphones are better for Rock music.

Does anyone know any good reviews on the CEntrance DACport, too bad Stereophile.com didn't do a review.

Troubles burning a DVD-A

Forums
Computer Audio
Submitted by Freako on

I have ripped the tracks from the Eagles DVD-V "Hell freezes over", as 24/48 wav's, and was looking for a program to use in burning the tracks to a DVD-A.

Jim Tavegia says he uses Audio DVD Creator, but I have read in some forum that this program makes DVD-V's instead of DVD-A's.

No matter how I try to burn these tracks, I can't play them on my CD/DVD player. The computer plays them though. What am I doing wrong?

Any suggestions would be highly appreciated, as I would like to learn more about this. Thx

Cultural Cognition of Scientific Consensus

Cultural Cognition of Scientific Consensus http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=1549444#

Perhaps of interest in the context of our past discussion of anthropogenic global warming.

As I have observed, whether people accept AGW is often a issue of their pre-existing world view and political beliefs. I find this odd and frankly disturbing.

On February 7, 2010 the Cultural Cognition Project at Yale released a research paper on exactly this subject.
