Even though at the lower end of the spectrum, they do seem to do that!

Forums are groups of people. It would be weird(and rather dangerous) if they all always acted as a monolithic mind.

Both are like that on most things ironically, HA forums = <128kbps being transparent & ASR = them assuming everything must be low THD. Since i had a few say 0.7 ~ 1.64% at 1KHz is bad, But ignore speakers are higher at wider scale the ER4XR still low THD in that case. But HA takes the cake with their TOS#8 being used to remove "Here my ABX showing QAAC at 160kbps being 4.1 & Lame(192k)/Vorbis 160k being 4.8".

I've seen that happen while their trained testers get a free pass??, Without being asked to show samples most of the time.

Why do I have so much trouble reading your posts? I can't make head nor tail of what you are trying to say.

Maybe he had a drink or two in remembrance of his fellow scotsman Sean Connery.

If I can gently make a comment. The problem with this comment isn't dyslexia. You're jumbling together acronyms and numbers in a way that makes it unintelligible to others. If you slowed down and put across context, other people would get more out of it. I find that reading my comments out loud is a good way to make sure they are conversational.

Out of curiosity, what frequency do people here consider the transition frequency from upper midrange to lower treble, on a frequency response graph?
Over the years I've been faithful to that graph.

The other day I listened to a new LP from Hauser. I enjoyed it, all but for the occasional pop, which was a distraction. So, I purchased a CD, as well as 24/96 FLAC and Apple Music downloads of the album. No attempt at any sort of “scientific “ experimentation with the media to sort out what media and 13 means to the media was best in any manner that best might be discerned; but, I now have an impression that the Apple Music download to iTunes transported via Airport Express for delivery of optical S/PDIF to my Pre-Pro was the most pleasant and convenient listening experience; thus, I’m now rethinking the need for LPs, CDs, and hi-res downloads as perhaps somewhat a mythical fascination.

That's what happens when you depend on placebo. Your conclusions aren't based on any fact, so they keep morphing all over the place depending on your mood.
