  1. Just managed to stop myself buying some Wharfedale Denton 2s from the local charity shop. Only £20 but were in poor condition and would have needed some work I reckon.

    I'll stick with my Diamond IIIs for now. Still going strong after I repaired a magnet.

  2. The problem with old radios: DAB or DAB+ was not invented then, so they are at best FM (dubious, if really ancient). Micro #HiFi or separate components. So that while some stuff look fancy, they are essentially useless, not worth anything apart from being a display piece and that means that you need extra space for such devices.

    This is a pity as there are really cool looking devices of old.

  3. Quick question to the HIFI-bubble. I have a Pro-Ject RPM 1.3 Genie. It came with the Ortofon 2M Red and I upgraded it to a 2M Blue some years ago. Now I am thinking of replacing it with a Bronze. The alternative would be a new needle for the Blue. 139€ vs. 360€. Is it worth it?

  6. Anyway.

    In other news, I fitted a new needle* to my gramophone**...

    Ooh.

    That makes a heck of a difference all the way from bass to treble and beyond!

    * Stylus. I know.

    ** Turntable. I know this too.

  10. Arca's albums always remind me that my ADAM Audio T5V monitors are NO MATCH to the sonic variability of her music. Must get sub soon! #hifi #audiophile

  11. Today I finally found a purpose for my #RaspberryPi after it had been sitting on a shelf for almost two years. 😄
    I set up a tiny home music server using Samba, #ReadyMedia and #Syncthing.

    Now every FLAC album I buy on #Qobuz is automatically synchronized via #SyncThing from my Mac to the Raspberry Pi and instantly becomes available in my home music library e.g. for the Technics SA-C600.

  15. Was hier aussieht wie knallbunte Lutscher sind in Wirklichkeit Bedienknöpfe eines Grundig ConcertBoy Radios.
    Unser Team Mitglied Timo wollte das Radio farblich etwas aufpeppen.
    Passend dazu hat @Pulverfass
    das Lautsprechergitter in der gleichen Farbe (RAL 6033 mint-türkis) bereits fertig gemacht.

  17. @MsDropbear42 @ajsadauskas C60 and C90? The kids these days are missing out!

    Nearly two decades ago now, I volunteered at a community radio station. They still had a reel-to-reel tape deck (that I never operated), MiniDisc (that I did use), and broadcast-grade loop tapes.

    The loop tapes were like 8-tracks, except with one stereo track that was up to a few minutes long.

    You'd pop it into the machine, hit play, and it would play, and then it would fast forward back to the start of the tape ready for next time.

    They used them for station promos and some music.

    The MiniDisc was a proper HiFi stereo unit.

    Good times!

  21. Por si alguien quiere la versión japonesa del album Sanctuary de Evanescence, por aquí dejo un link que me pasaron.

    Audios en formato flac, como para gozarlo en audífonos o parlantes Hi-Fi, de la mejor manera posible. Enjoy! 😎

  33. In the process of moving in, I unpacked and hooked up my primary speakers, that have just spent 3 years in boxes. Cerwin-Vega E-715, baby. I love the way those sound, incredible bandwidth and dynamic range.

  36. The fluff bunnies ride again...

    Bought an elderly LP* t'other day: it arrived quickly & looked very good; but it still got the bath that I give to all such acquisitions - twice.

    Side 1 crackled a little at first, but settled down; side 2, however, vomited up this humongous hairball...

    So the disc got another double dousing, & a doing with the velvet wiper; & now it all sounds lovely.

    * Chick Corea - "Return to Forever", as you were about to ask...

  40. Бас: цена глубины

    Это третья статья серии о том, почему акустика, которая хорошо измеряется, может плохо звучать. В первой части мы выяснили, что АЧХ суммирует энергию не спрашивая, вовремя ли та пришла. Во второй — что комната добавляет к звуку копии и резонансы, и провели границу честности эквалайзера: ниже частоты Шрёдера он чинит физику, выше — только график. Сегодня отправимся в самые низкие частоты спектра, где пересекаются темы предыдущих статей. Бас — это частоты, на которых колонка ещё не закончилась, а комната уже началась, и где одно-единственное конструктивное решение — каким образом нагрузить динамик — определяет характер звука сильнее, чем всё остальное железо вместе взятое. После перестановки и наведения порядка в комнате моя система впервые за годы зазвучала собранно — и, как это всегда бывает, новая расстановка только подчеркнула фундаментальную недостачу. Описать словами мое разочарование весьма непросто, ведь там, где бас ещё оставался — у самой настройки порта, — с ним вдобавок было что-то не так. Если раньше баса было много, но он был абсолютной кашей, то теперь стало отчетливо слышно, как бочка ударника набирала вес, но теряла резкость удара: щелчок и тело ноты будто расходились во времени. Кривая АЧХ там, у частоты настройки, ничего дурного не показывала — а слух показывал; у меня уже было правило на этот случай, ещё с прошлых стараний: если график в порядке, а слух недоволен, надо смотреть на время .

  45. Sagt mal, kann der Arylic S10+ Streamer beim Abspielen vom mp3s die Blenden / das Ausblenden am Ende eines Musikstücks prinzipiell nicht richtig wiedergeben? Es kommt dabei zuverlässig regelmäßig zu Aussetztern/Stotteren.

    Ist das ein bekannter Bug? Gibt es eine Update, dass das Problem behebt?
