I have an objectivist view point regarding hifi. I think there is way too much psuedoscience in hifi used to sell products that do not actually, when tested using your ears alone, justify their...

Sorry, it appeared relevant as it is about analogue and digital, invloved the LP-12 under discussion and it is very relevant to the way we listen as it shows we also listen with our eyes and our eyes...

If you have got any pidgeons, look away now, here comes a cat!

In 1984 Ivor Teifenbrun took part in a series of blind tests of various claims that he made about the problems of digital over...

Typical of the time a full midrange, but because of the enclosed, closed back design, more bass. They still leak a surprising amount of sound.

My favourites from the 1970s

My music collection started off with vinyl, played primarily on my father's 1970s Sony sound centre (long and flat with a big lid covering the turntable, cassette slot and radio).

But it was...

It is, it was not clear from the photos.:cool:

There are various answers,

differences in the manufacturing of the volume pot

headphone makers not being too accurate with their specs

the hearing preferences between the various users

Yes, sound pressure level, or the volume you get from a set amount of power. So for the same power out of the amp you get a higher volume with the K701 than the Superlux, but not by much.

Hi Werner, I was meaning not being able to see the supports for the speakers and sub.

I thought as much, they can't be seen from the pictures. I wish the K702 came with the same stand the K701 comes with.

I get great enjoyment from hearing how good my music sounds, as well as the music itself.

That argument only works if you ignore a whole host of other reasons which can explain why we hear a difference in cables.

Good objectivists looks at those reasons as well, the subjectivist is...

Hi Werner, fabulous set ups you have there. One question, how do you find the speakers and woofer sound sitting on hard wooden surfaces? Have you tried some sort of stand?

Subjectivism appears to mean so long you think it is true, it is OK to say it and to disagree with that is wrong.

It may be down to the really bad weather, it is more like autumn here, the leaves on the trees are starting to go brown. The forecast was for sun!?

Hummmm, my hifi sounds rubbish this morning :scratch:

I seems to me that there are two forms of objectivist. One is the troll type that you like to refer to, who (like many a subjectivist troll) has not bothered to actually find out how things work and...

I agree with Nick and your summation reflects how I approach hifi and my music. :thumbsup:
