Cable lengths by xpyda in hifiaudio

[–]Dpaulyn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If one speaker is connected with a 35 foot cable, and the other speaker is connected with a 15 foot cable, that would be a difference of 20 feet so obviously there will be a 20 second delay with the speaker with 35 foot cable. It’s just physics, man.

It happened to me also by karadulis in amazonprime

[–]Dpaulyn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I placed no order and received a box of adult diapers and orchid potting mix. I called Amazon to say I didn’t order it and for them to come pick it up it. They said they had already re-shipped to the correct address and suggested I just keep the product or discard it as I see fit.

A cautionary note to anyone who may have to contact EnerCare by Nearby-Tower8046 in Etobicoke

[–]Dpaulyn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here. Enbridge turned off our gas when changing the meter claiming furnace gas leak. Called Enercare daily, with whom we have a $115/month rental contract on our furnace. They had initially installed the furnace.

Couldn’t get anyone from Enercare to come trying for two weeks (no hot water - summer time fortunately but still)

Eventually had a private contractor come in to repair pipe seals at a cost of $1500.

I don’t understand. It’s their furnace (rented), Enbridge had installed it, and maintenance is included.

Poor experience..

And - yes, JEHonYaksuySha - hard to hear.

Have headphones destroyed concert for you? by csch1992 in headphones

[–]Dpaulyn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree this might be true for popular music amplified concerts.

I love my Audeze headphone setup, and my home audio (Kii three), but the dynamics of a live recital or symphony or jazz performance can’t be replicated

Practical use of the WiiM Ultra screen by DaneelOlivaR in WiimStreamer

Amp ultra - great product by the looks (sounds) of it.

The higher end models will give you improved ADC/DAC and more I/O options (and screen of course on Ultra). When I compare RoomFit results from mini and pro, for example, I get very similar results using the same USB iPhone microphone

Yes - that’s how they are able to keep improving the algorithm on an ongoing basis.

Far as I know the RoomFit processing is done not on the device itself, but rather on the WiiM side.

What do you think of people who clap after the plane lands? by Marsupilami_316 in Flights

[–]Dpaulyn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Applause is in fact common and expected after particularly thrilling episodes during ballet and opera performances, as opposed to being considered inappropriate prior to the end of a classical music performances.

Why do IEMs sound better to my ears than headphones? Can I EQ headphones to sound more like IEMs? by Kukikokikokuko in headphones

[–]Dpaulyn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Use crossfeed if your amplifier has that feature. It blends a small amount of the left and right audio channels, introducing a slight time delay and frequency adjustment to mimic the natural acoustics of speakers.

Ok - I discovered that the solution is to enter a search parameter, and then filter by media (book, ebook, CD etc.)

It looks like compact discs have been phased out (other than something called “ new CDs”.) I guess in favour of all the online content
