A problem many present-ists don't get (esp, some in that infamous long-running vinyl forum) is that the ability of even recently past artists to make their data sound their way is lost, and tech has far outstripped the desire (or abilities) of archivists to store that data onto the next great...

No, Lars Ulrich will rip you a new one, then sue you.

I'd hazzard to guess that everyone here in ASR has an overbuit audio rig. Would it be strange for others to have overbuilt networks? Then again, maybe this person has a very large house, requiring "fiber fail-over."

Yea, weird

Hi all, I’m looking for a way to make my beast-rig more family-friendly, so others can enjoy HQ audio. Recently, I got a Fosi Vol20 knob and with an Ipad to Roon they are a nice addition - maybe - but that got me thinking: Kids who wear Ipods all day just need to scroll to the next song. What...

That’s really interesting. I don’t really know the ‘lore’ as my kids would say, but it sounds like the offer was made to make DBX the default, but that would have required changing how all records were encoded. Some marketing group decided the shiny disk was the way to go and so dbx became an...

Skis, bikes, cars, motorcycles, golf clubs, RC cars even - audio is not unique for snake oil. The ritual seems to cut across obsessions: 1) remove a part on the assumption that the engineers who made it, had no clue what they were doing, and 2) replace it with a different looking after-market...

The hidden ugly part (4 18” subs vented to attic as an IB): The less ugly somewhat concealed part:

There are no aesthetically beautiful subwoofers. Either they are small and cleverly crafted so as to look pretty but do not get low enough to be called "sub woofer" (physics gets in the way of the pretty) or they are huge ugly boxes you just live with, or they are built-ins, as above or IB...

1. Both the HS district I work in and the PK-8 District on whose board I sit do parent/career day. Its a good institution. Most kids have no clue what they want to do in college, because they only see what their parents do, and what (they think) teachers do. 2. Not only are phones kids' best...

Talking Heads, Stop Making Sense Radiohead, The King Of Limbs live from the basement Radiohead, In Rainbows, live from basement The Pixies, Loud Quiet Loud The Fog of War, a movie that appears to be about Robert McNamarra, but which is actually an unnerving documentary about the music of Philip...

Is there any room tuning software or headphone tuning software that takes the listener's physical hearing limitations into account?

"tonal memories" ... Is this a poem?

The Smile, Cutouts: a grower, like all Radiohead / Yorke

Like all Radiohead / Yorke, it’s a grower.

All of my components are the best OR WORST components ever created, my room, my dsp, my crummy 53 yr old hearing, my room treatments (or lack thereof) - prove me wrong.

It was known to scribes in the Library of Alexandria. I don't think anyone is acting like this is new and the SSD thing isn't new either. Your last point is indeed a major source of data-rot: people don't bother saving what at the time appears irrelevant. I'm guilty of having misplaced my...

The article describes data-rot, and the problem of recension well. Every new medium creates a hurdle for old documents: a) many do not make the transfer due to neglect and so that culture is lost or b) they do not make the transfer in time before the old technology disappears. As new media are...
