    Berlin Boombox Preview

    Oh geez, give me a break. So not only can someone not use that word, but they can't use a misspelled version of it to refer NOT to a person but to our very own rating system or a product in question? If anything I should be offended since Tom is calling out Audioholics, not a person. Or he was...

    Debunking the Myth of Speaker Cable Resonance

    The manufacturer does NO such tests. They have no degreed engineers on staff. They are a marketing company selling exotic looking cables that hired creative writers to sell a story. I asked them to show data, produce tests, and all I got in return was the sound of crickets. Their stories...

    Status Acoustics Titus 8T Floorstanding Speaker System Review

    I'll give you the benefit of a doubt seeing how you're a new member and obviously lacking in knowledge on measuring loudspeakers. This speaker was measured both outdoors (for accuracy) and indoors (to see how they integrated into the room). The outdoor measurements most closely approximate...

    Power Sound Audio Triax Subwoofer Preview

    They have been having supply issues since early summer. The only issue I have is the way they misstate the power of the amplifier of the particular sub in question on this thread. Right now our review schedule is full with products from companies that DON'T have supply or distribution issues...

    Power Sound Audio Triax Subwoofer Preview

    Not likely. They don't seem very interested and they also don't seem to have their act together with stocking parts to build product. We have limited resources and try to limit our reviews to equipment that is readily available to purchase for our readers.

    Analog (Vinyl) vs Digital Audio (CD, FLAC) Listening Event Comparison

    You are misquoting me. I never said the ADA or DAC conversion process was the problem. I designed Analog Front Ends of Modems and Audio Communication Systems for a living prior to doing Audioholics so I am fully versed in that topic. You need to drop this or start a new thread as you and the...

    Analog (Vinyl) vs Digital Audio (CD, FLAC) Listening Event Comparison

    You can have far more dynamic range if the recording is done digitally and played back on a digital system as opposed to taking an older and limited analog recording and transferring it to digital media. Many of these transfers are overly compressed and filtered to lower the noise floor and...

    Analog (Vinyl) vs Digital Audio (CD, FLAC) Listening Event Comparison

    Um I'm not talking about adding an ADA and DAC into the mix. I'm talking about making a recording originally on analog equipment and transferring it to digital to a CD as opposed to making the recording digitally and transferring it to CD. There is a DIFFERENCE but you can keep misusing...

    Analog (Vinyl) vs Digital Audio (CD, FLAC) Listening Event Comparison

    You have truly earned your forum title with this thread. The Phil Collins and Spyro Gyra recordings are from identical releases and masters as the article stated. A digital recording has an advantage played back on a digital media just like an analog recording has the advantage on an analog...

    Analog (Vinyl) vs Digital Audio (CD, FLAC) Listening Event Comparison

    There are some great songs on the 2nd Phil Collins solo album but I would have preferred to use his first album. I don't have it on vinyl though :( I also have Billy Joel Innocent Man on Vinyl and CD but it sounds like crap on both formats :(

    Analog (Vinyl) vs Digital Audio (CD, FLAC) Listening Event Comparison

    Meaningless for the reading illiterate. Meaningful for the participants and those that like to learn about limitations in the recording process not the format itself. Our web traffic is slamming thanks to the site redesign and SEO optimization we did, which had nothing to do with this article...

    Analog (Vinyl) vs Digital Audio (CD, FLAC) Listening Event Comparison

    I wouldn't jump to that conclusion. I have many incredibly recorded SACD's that rival the sound of anything I have on CD. I suspect it has more to do with the care of the recording than the media itself. I found most SACD's are recorded by "audiophile" recording engineers that don't abuse...

    Analog (Vinyl) vs Digital Audio (CD, FLAC) Listening Event Comparison

    Re-read the article. It is discussed and completely ridiculous to suggest a blind test when listening to vinyl records.
