    Comparably sized PC speakers to replace my Edifier E25HD?

    I've had my Edifier E25HD speakers for 5 years but unfortunately the left speaker has started to distort so I guess it's time to look for a replacement. I am space starved so I can't go much bigger (which rules out bookshelf speakers) and while I could import the often recommend Klipsch Promedia...

    Most complete open back under 1000€ for music?

It would be to enjoy varied music but I mainly listen to ambient, soundtrack, electronic/dance and...

    which music tracks will be exposed for bad mixing with good headphones?

    Elaborate title there… What I mean is: I want to buy headphones for mixing, but I need to know that they will be unforgiving and expose a mix that’s lacking. What tracks do I play through them to make sure they will expose it when my mix needs work?

    What's the smart watch with the best audio quality?

    Looking for a smart watch that will allow me to go on long walks and bike rides. My wife has the Apple Watch Series 3, from 2017, and I paired my Soundcore Liberty 4 and they sound remarkably well, maybe not as good as when paired to my iPhone, but definitely much better than I thought...

    Is it just me or are Green Day songs mixed in a really interesting way?

    I was listening to Green Day and I noticed it was quite a bit quieter than some of the other rock bands I listen to. I think it's less of a volume thing and more of a loudness thing. I know mastering protocols have changed a lot over the years, and the loudness you aim for depends on the media...

    Where can I listen to original masters of old albums?

    Lately, I have been listening to a lot of older albums, namely a lot of The Beatles and Electric Light Orchestra among others, and I've found That almost all of The Beatles albums on major streaming services (I tend to use apple music) are remastered versions. Don't get me wrong, I think they...

    Downmixing 5.1 to stereo reduces dynamic range?

    So I downmixed one of my albums that were 5.1 to stereo. The original 5.1 version had a dynamic range of 11-13 using TT Dynamic Range meter. However, when I downmixed them, the stereo versions had a dynamic range of only 6-8. Is this normal or is my downmixing software (foobar) bad at downmixing?

    Can a Sony MHC-GZR5D support 600 ohm headphones in its stereo mini jack?

    I want to purchase an Audiophile Headphone, but I am confused about the right impedance value that would be compatible with my Sony HCD-GZR5D Mini HiFi Component System. The Sony service manual says that Headphones of impedance 8 ohms or higher ( no upper limit mentioned) can be plugged. Can a...

    Recommendation for AMP (and DAC?) for Beyer DT990 Pro (250 ohm) and DT770 (80 ohm) ?

    I've had beyerdynamic DT770 Pro (80 ohm) for a long time but I wanted to try an open-back so I also purchased DT990 Pro (250 ohm). I really like the DT990 and I think I might prefer open-back, but the high-pitch treble is a bit noticeable. Still, I got a great deal on the limited edition...

    Songs to loosen the glue

    Hi All i thought i’d be fun to pass around recs for very very low and tactile bass tracks that one would use to loosen the glue of the diaphrams for burn in (i think this is real enough, at least in theory). I may be using glue a little loosely here, forgive me :) Demons by Joanna (so tactile)
