I see it as no different to selling a car and purchasing another car And it works the same for HiFi gear Sell one and purchase the other

If you can’t hear a difference, consider yourself money ahead and just relax and enjoy the cheapest one and sell anything else. As for me, I can hear it and have long since lost my way in the rabbit hole. There’s no hope for me, so save yourself……

I never looked, well no reply for sure. RIP Dave

@grasshopper To more directly answer your question above, the sampling frequency must be at least 2x the frequency you are trying/wanting to capture. This is why CDs, wave files, had a sampling freq. of 44.1 kilohertz, just a little over twice what good ears can hear, around 20kHz. Now, we have fairly inexpensive equipment that can sample 44.1, 88.2, 96, 192 kHz or higher. There's a lot to it, and while Tom said it's not magic, I call a lot of things 'technological magic'.

I know that.

It's not magic. The necessary ingredient is the reconstruction filter. Yes, it does work ....

What is really interesting is Digital audio... let's say the recording part, is sampling. I'll use a sampling frequency of 88.2 thousand times a second. That's double a regular audio CD. You record the signal level 88.2 thousand times a second, like a picket fence going by. When those get played back at the same rate, just individual levels, you hear all the audio frequencies, tone, percussion, etc. It's magic!

Yes, Jimi and I go back nearly 40 years now. He invited me to audition along with our bass player for HOL . But, that fell through for certain reasons I won't mention here. It would have been perfect because they wouldn't need those damn tracks on the iPOD any longer for backing vocals and keyboards because we would have had that covered LIVE. Just as well, I kept my current job of 34 years now, AND continued with the Neil Diamond show band which I dearly enjoyed and miss since it was retired after a 20 year run due to Covid...

The OP was Mallette. Pretty sure he is gone, literally.

You really have to spend a substantial amount for a difference after, say $2500 Just an ARBiTRARY FIGURE. 🙃

For me it is the best source of free religious and gospel music videos around. Maynard

Gots to have a good tweeter to get all the way to 20kHz.

It was well into the night before I had things back together. I listened for only 15 minutes. I'm terrible at putting things into words, but I'll try. It is very possible that I'm only hearing the things that have been planted in my brain by reading others. That said, I noticed a shimmer in the highs that I didn't have before. Crash cymbals had more shine on them. I also noticed detail and even sound field improvements. My wife didn't notice anything. It sounds very sweet. My room has been tweaked to death for 15 years now, and at no point has it sounded as good as it is right now. I need to stop messing around with things.

I agree with Shakey. I’ve dug so far down the rabbit hole the next shovel full will put me into China. As you start spending more and more coin you will hear differences in presentation -

Still cool and crank it to 11 without distortion...

Good to hear from you dtel. Yeah, I don't watch any sports and travel the world on YouTube and my modest 55" monitor. I have a library of Live-cams from favorite places where I visit daily and usually put on the headphones for a recent (or Live) walk or train ride in Europe...Amazing footage with alot being 4K.

What really kills me is when someone refers to a quality brand of gear and asks, "Is it as good as Bose?" In the Bose Lifestyle system, the low frequency speaker is called a "bass module", not a subwoofer. Is this because a government agency found out they don't go nearly deep enough to be called subwoofers, or did they apply that name without being required to?

Got to 105` then ...it rained. I'm sitting in the living room. Wife asks, "What direction is the rain coming from?" ... "Ummmm ..... from 'up" The question isn't a dumb one. We don't have A/C. I think the new term is "passive solar"...Open and close windows at appropriate times. I have several squirrel cage blowers. Forced air might be in our future. With our weather, it will get use in the winter, too. Push warm from outside to in.

@GWSmith You probably know: https://www.jimibell.com

One sign there might be a problem is when a company does not supply ANY specs on performance. Instead of saying " Better sound through science" it should say "Better sound through Marketing".

Ok folks this is my first post My brother bought a locker and found these in there Klipsch La Scala There a little dinged up But I guess they can be re-finished Can anyone tell me are they just subs or are the a full range speaker I am running 2 Carver mono block amps 550 WPC There in North Carolina I’m in Florida Worth the trip to get them Any help would really be great guys

That's true some just use quote and add nothing to it. True, but when they never come back or ask what happened, it's usually spam, some are so obvious it's funny, not even remotely on topic and full of links. They are hidden and marked as spam, it happens more than you think. I read each post from new members and even if silly I just click approve, 90% are real and have good intentions.

I thought so also but wanted to tell him something, will delete him now.

It’s worth keeping them. They are industrial split La Scala bass bins. Probably have K-43’s in them.

Thanks. I can't wait.

I just cleaned up my 30's with natural baby wipes wiped the wood surfaces first to run out the moisture a bit 1 wipe per speaker worked great they look like new now and they were pretty bad about 10 years of dust.

That has got to sound good...how far up in freq can YOU still hear?

I think we're always the product.........🤢 But that's just modern life. I think of YT as "world television." I am nonetheless concerned about their censorship policies and actions.

Had a couple visions the other day and this morning over coffee they surfaced. Enjoy! Stones? Yup, dropping October 20th "Hackney Diamonds" Supposed to be a great lp. Pre-order on their site or fight the crowds! They ain't done yet!

I actually posted one several years ago but it no longer is up. It didn't show any action just the canal and folks walking in the area.

I'm interested in biblical history and scholarship and can't believe how much and varied the content is. Bart Ehrman and James Tabor give more of a historical overview (and have their own channels) as they discuss the texts with several others that have scholars on.

There are several great live-cams from Amsterdam but this is the most mesmerizing.

I wouldn’t say it influences my life, but I do spend a lot of time on it. In addition to watching how-to videos such as auto repair, boat repair, etc I’m subscribed to these channels: Doug Demuro Berm Peak/Berm Peak Express FailArmy Clayton Schick Outdoors Jay Siemens Audio Advice Kentucky Ballistics The Fish Whisperer CodyBPyrotechnics Fishing with Bryan Prokuski

Post a pic.

Dion was a "Shutdown Cornerback". He was so fast he would give the receiver a lot of room to bait the quarterback into throwing then accelerate and intercept the ball. I haven't seen anyone to compare after he retired. JJK

I said between 6-12, only because it's football season. The rest of the time it's 2 hours a week, two shows, Oak Island and Skinwalker Ranch and maby an occasional documentary.

Thank you! Only 4:38pm. here, whole night ahead. Rest well ! You will be in dreamland when I hit the rack . Meanwhile, enjoying Side 2 of Bill Evans Trio, and the wine 🍷.

...Meanwhile, a LAZY Sunday afternoon here, with storms and rain and CLOSE lightning etc. So, after things calmed down, I got my glass of Cab. vino, and am listening to this one, not heard in a long while.

Thanks again for working with me and building the ACP+ preamp in chassis. It sounds very good and a lot like a miniature First Watt J2 going to my Amp Camp Amps into Heresy 1 speakers. Your builds are so clean with great attention to detail and aesthetics.

Spun this one this afternoon , as it´s late high summer season here as well , but not at midnight 😂

Wellllllll, look at you guys go! The only thing I can tell ya is it'll be a cold day before I'm sittin on the floor again. There was a time though when a couple fems and I sat cross legged on the floor totally nekkie laffin at each other. Sure was a rough time gettin up and changin albums though. 😂

Looks fimilar

That's why I do it, I also switched rice for cauliflower rice. I love cauliflower so it works for me, not that you would mystake it for rice but I like it more. I needed to do something to lose weight.

Miracle whip, the bose of the mayo world.

Congratulations for all of you, he's having fun, the most important part.
