    Toxic headphones 🥵

    The study can be downloaded from here: https://arnika.org/en/publications/the-sound-of-contamination I'm not providing an opinion on it either way yet, as I have not finished reading through it.

    General Consensus On Subs In HiFi

    Unless you actually tried two subs in your setup, I guess you might come to the conclusion that it seemed suitable. But the physics is the physics - the experience of the low end would not be equal across the various listening positions in your space, and there will be some issues at your main...

    General Consensus On Subs In HiFi

    Multiple subs in an AV system is there for two purposes: 1) Increase SPL in the room, as the subwoofers will acoustically couple at low frequencies. 2) Tackle standing waves. The way that low frequencies work in a sealed room, you get peaks and dips at different frequencies, which cannot be...

    Question Put a sock in it

    Rear ported is not nearly as fussy as folks make out. If positioning less than twice the width of the port from the wall, then you probably want to plug the port. Besides that, every other consideration of placement is identical, no matter what bass reflex type.

    Problem listening to music on HiFi Walker H2

    The OP hasn’t returned, and a suggestion has happened to have helped somebody else. That’s a good thing.

    Problem listening to music on HiFi Walker H2

    On my first read through of the OP, I didn't catch that this occurred on two units. My initial thought was maybe the corresponding connector in the socket had lost its springiness over time (as they can do) so wasn't touching. After re-reading, for it to happen on two units was surprising...

    Problem listening to music on HiFi Walker H2

    Found this from Reddit, and it had a comment from another person that confirmed the same worked for them: Edit 2: I was just an idiot, the jack needed to go further in. I feel stupid for even posting this. Suppport did say that there could be issues with TRRS 3.5 mm pins though.

    General Consensus On Subs In HiFi

    The KC62 does have speaker level connections, just using a phoenix connector instead of a speaker (so you use whatever speaker cable you want). Pure marketing. Firstly, a speaker/subwoofer has no idea what you are feeding it content wise. With the speaker level input, it draws so little power...

    What are your thoughts on Synthesizers and music created by Synthesizers.

    As a musician, I love using synthesizers, whether keyboard controlled or 'piano rolled.' I am primarily a bass player, but using things like the Roli Seaboard can be so expressive. But even if I'm plugging into a sequencer, the tone shaping and composition are extremely creative endeavors. And...

    General Consensus On Subs In HiFi

    When set up correctly, they are an extension of the main speakers and work wonderfully. What they should do is take what you love about the system before adding, and bring that quality down into the low end. After all, when you pay money for an upgrade, there should only be benefits. There...

    Pro-Ject CD taking a leaf from the Chinese

    How are Pro-Ject taking a leaf out of the books of those other manufacturers? The non-valve version has been out since at least 2019, and the original, also 'CD Transport and DAC' they did, the CD Box RS, came before that too. I want to say 2014.

    Farcical things said about HiFi!

    Well that article is certainly an exercise in Search Engine Optimisation.

    Question Cyrus CDi-XR anyone?

    Yup - I used the original Mojo as a home device that happened to be used if I wanted to listen on the move e.g. flights.

    Anyone going to buy the new KEF Coda wireless system?

    Well, as someone who has heard the LSXIIs, they certainly don't embarrass themselves in a mid-to-large room. It's impressive how far Hoffman's Iron Law can be bent with a good acoustic platform supplemented with DSP. But that's based on my expectations. YMMV.

    Subwoofer connection advice - integration consideration with current setup

    Sold a fair few of those SW150s and TXNR8050s back in the before times, in the long, long ago. What you could do is something like the MiniDSP 2x4HD. This is an active crossover which you would place in the signal path before the AVIs. It has enough outputs to add a subwoofer coming out of it...
