one post to rule them all. unless it's invisible.
If we could have one post to rule them all, that would be awesome. Keep in mind also, that Headfi isn't the only forum with people looking for audio stuff. In computing forums there are people who aren't anti-science. Many people are misled by popular Youtubers and marketers to believe multiple...- Dark_wizzie

Hmm, measurements look similar to that of the Objective? More or less. Or am I just looking at it all wrong?- Dark_wizzie

Why tubes but no equalization?
Holy crap, Arny is on Headfi. I hope Bigshot goes to HA after the uh, incident around here. I trust you guys on EQ, the problem is doing an EQ itself. If you guys come together and write an excellent, easy to understand and implement EQ guide, I think much more people would use EQ. I...- Dark_wizzie

EQ cure all?
I'm sure EQ can do great things... if done very, very well. Imagine a typical user that barely even knows what EQ is. :( There is no easy magic button that makes it all work right. It's confusing and a lot of work, especially to make one headphone sound like another I would imagine. So to me...- Dark_wizzie

Cheap Replacement Cables
I went with the one from Amazon. The left cable doesn't work and the right cable is stuck on my HD800. That's right, IT'S STUCK. It's a cable, there's no way I can screw up installation that badly. Dear god, I dunno what to do. I already filed a dispute on Amazon, but unless the cable is...- Dark_wizzie

If young people have the best hearing, and men lose theirs faster than women, why are audiophiles mostly old blokes?
Speaking of which, I'd rather purchase music lists than headphones. By music lists, I mean a list of tracks I know I will enjoy (actual files not included). Imagine meeting future version of you and getting a list of all the tracks you will love!- Dark_wizzie

Cheap Replacement Cables
Hi... I've asked this in the Cables section and got zero replies. I guess it's fitting because I'm not in the cable section to buy pimp cables. For some odd reason there's a hole in my HD800 cable. Probably my brother's damn cats. Where is the cheapest place to get a replacement cable? I...- Dark_wizzie

Some HOT Science From Synergistic Research
I'm going to try to put this in uh... less offensive terms so this post doesn't get deleted. Religious people generally have no idea how the burden of proof works, and you're demonstrating this right now. And in many ways, this is an audiophile religion.- Dark_wizzie

Maybe you should make an EQ guide on Sound Science subsection.- Dark_wizzie

Why 24 bit audio and anything over 48k is not only worthless, but bad for music.
Nice room. Unfortunately I cannot currently afford a good listening room with acoustic treatment and good speakers, so I went with a headphone instead. But in the future when I'm older and I have a REAL job I hope to have such a room. I want it to be treated and calibrated very well for computer...- Dark_wizzie

Some HOT Science From Synergistic Research
Red Bull actually lost such a lawsuit? That is HILARIOUS. Anyways, I always found it funny that some audiophiles claim to hear an improvement... and sometimes a sizable one at that... for a product which the designers didn't believe would change or improve sound quality. Steve Eddy makes cables...- Dark_wizzie

Why 24 bit audio and anything over 48k is not only worthless, but bad for music.
So... Do speakers have relatively higher distortion relative to headphones? Also... what if somebody had the budget to pick how large they want a music room to be? Would the sound quality be better in a large room (with the right speaker setup of course)? And finally, I know EQ can do great...- Dark_wizzie

How much would a great neutral speaker cost then?- Dark_wizzie
