    Loudspeakers 10 band emulation (for fun)

    A topic for fun mainly. Taken with a big grain of salt as it excludes a lot of factors. Recently I got some quite good quality earbuds that came with a ten band EQ option. While listening I thought about asking A.I. to create some loudspeaker profiles based on these ten bands. I have shared...

    Can we hear sound above 20kHz!

    Baseless claims are baseless.

    Can we hear sound above 20kHz!

    First. 320kbps is a compression that everyone here will fail on in double blind comparison to lossless. Second. Compression doesn’t do anything to a frequency of a tone. Only a faster or slower speed of playback would do something to a frequency. A440hz will not be A439hz and A432hz will not be...

    Can we hear sound above 20kHz!

    First of all.. nice one. :) The point made in that it elevates the physical position creating a slightly different vertical soundstage ánd the type of tweeter does the rest. But it still makes everything work withing the audible range. Also sound signature besides this is defined by emphasis...

    Can we hear sound above 20kHz!

    Frequency ranges of a well configured tweeter don’t overlap with the midrange and are not smoothing anything out. The “super tweeters” I came across are mostly ribbon or AMT and they give a different signature within the audible. Placing them on top of a loudspeaker to replace another type of...

    How to disable Spotify’s video priority

    Spotify’s videoclips are a nice upgrade. But some lean on the same quality sound as MTV did in the past, a straight conversion from TV, not utilising the better quality audio. Is there a way to give priority to audio instead of video? Maybe I missed out on a setting, but when I checked last...

    Can we hear sound above 20kHz!

    Also, there is nothing musically significant or even anything “generally enjoyable” in those particular frequencies. No loss in the real sense of anything.

    Can we hear sound above 20kHz!

    Generally, the range of human hearing spans 0 decibels (dB) to 120-130 dB. The human hearing range in Hz (hertz) usually includes sounds between 20 Hz and 20,000 Hz (20 kHz). While the upper limit for the average adult is 20,000 Hz, the highest-pitched sounds most people can hear fall between...

    Question Why Youngsters are not into Hi-FI

    - The definition of what HiFi really was.. a line away from low-fi (grammophone players, AM radio etc). Higher quality music (higher bandwith, FM etc) . In that definition walking into a store for a cheap system gives you an arguable 'more decent and more portable' system compared to the cheap...

    Second hand Loudspeakers and ferro fluid. Ok or no-go?

    I am not really searching for anything, but like to look around for good stuff for a reasonable price once in a while. I came across a set of Tannoy loudspeakers. Great vintage stuff. But, doing a bit of searching around I came across the fact that these have tweeters supported by ferro fluid...

    Are you tinkering or tweaking your HiFi to achieve the best setting?

    Nothing wrong with tinkering around with audio. I liked to do it. Especially with a bedroom system I owned (now quite settled) Like trying some things with two sets of smaller stereo bookshelf loudspeakers and having one pair facing the back wall to pick up some reflections. That ‘did’...

    Which micro subwoofer

    Add the B&W asw608, it's a really decent mini sub with a relatively low crossover point and sufficient configuration options. 200-watt ICEpower® amplifier 8" hybrid paper/aramid fiber woofer frequency response: 32-140 Hz (±3dB) continuously variable 40-140 Hz crossover acoustic suspension...

    It's all about the bass

    I would recommend a sub with an arbitrary "as low as possible" crossover point and as many "bells and whistles" as possible. I know bells and whistles are horrible when it comes to anything else, but I am really pleased with my B&W sub that was one of the best priced well configurable subs with...
