    Ultimate Ears UE 900 Discussion and Impressions Thread

      I just got off the phone with Logitech this morning regarding an issue with another device (UE 4000) and when asked specifically about the UE 900S they said it was being discontinued.  When I asked if it was no longer being manufactured she said that was correct, and confirmed we were...

    Skeptico Saloon: An Objectivist Joint

      Sorry for the late replay.   1) Yes, PC is the source - there's ways of implementing it without a PC - MiniDSP has released Ambio units which will get you pan ambio - no convolution, but if you reduce the volume of the back channels it will expand the width a slight bit further according to...

    Skeptico Saloon: An Objectivist Joint

      The front channels have to be tight together, but it will work as long as you're centered and far enough away to generate a tight angle for the lower delay levels.  For example if the speakers surrounded a 5' screen you would need to sit ~10' away at the least (basically double whatever the...

    Skeptico Saloon: An Objectivist Joint

      I think it's going for the same end game, but yours uses localization while ambiophonics tries to eliminate localization of the speakers so that the recording provides it instead if that makes sense.   First, ambiophonics only requires four speakers though more are welcome as ambiance...

    Skeptico Saloon: An Objectivist Joint

      Well you have to listen in the sweetspot much like you would a narrow dispersion ESL.  Since the speakers are place close together (30 degree total angle max compared to the 60 of a normal stereo triangle) means that reflections and resonance should usually be quite similar.  It also helps...

    Skeptico Saloon: An Objectivist Joint

      Wikipedia has a solid intro on it:     Things that are similar but not quite up to snuff in the past would be Carver Sonic Holography, Polk SDA, etc. if you're familiar with them.  The difference is we now have recursive based elimination (RACE) and keep the front channels center to...

    Skeptico Saloon: An Objectivist Joint

      Agreed - if only the map wasn't made by a three year old we could get there faster :D   Either way I've mostly found my ideals in this heathen technology called Ambiophonics outside headphone land so I haven't participated in headphone discussions much recently.

    Okay, which one of you guys is copycatting me at innerfidelity?  Pretty funny :D

    Reply to review by 'shike' on item 'Denon AH-D600'

    I'm glad I'm not the only one that thought of the B&W house sound listening to these.  They immediately reminded me of 802D's.

    New DENON "Music Maniac" & "Urban Raver" Lines: D7100, D600, D400 & C300 Impressions Thread

    Not sure where people started discussing the Denon's as neutral.  They aren't, but for some of us they're fun.  In terms of distortion I personally haven't noticed anything though, it's comparable if not a bit less than many speakers.   Of course, I prefer the D600 . . . I think the D7100 is a...

    Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up

      Correct, if I'm reading too much into it then oh well - I really didn't care either way.   EDIT:   I don't know why you edited to Jason's - it was Radio_head's post that was mocking it.

      He was mocking my use of != earlier on . . . which wasn't semantic based.

      It was mostly sarcastic as the member posting after figured out.  I will take it to email though as bouncing back and forth with a peanut gallery is annoying.
