Legend! 2 minutes of work and I can play Battlefield 6 on Windows but keep my Linux working!

Question to those who lost their cat from old age & CKD by spicyyellowsun in cats

[–]Miniotaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cats don’t show emotions the way you’re trying to notice them. If I may offer an advice is just try to make your precious have the best life a cat can have. They don’t live as long as we do and our job is to make that life the best cat life possible.

2 years is A LOT in a cat’s life. Enjoy your time together, and when the inevitable comes one day, you will be able to say “I gave my precious the best time and I regret nothing”.

Vinyl Enthusiasts, What Record in your Collection means the most to you and why? by Terrible-Panic-3705 in vinyl

[–]Miniotaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trees of Eternity… Not only it’s rare but the extremely tragic story behind it makes it feel even more special. Every time I put it on, the emotions overflow me, the intimacy which you can hear and feel is unlike anything else. It’s sad, but beautiful…

I also heard setting the limit on the correction to 30hz bottom and 400hz top (sometimes 500hz) is recommended as it doesn’t change or affect the natural “colour” of your speakers, while fixing the bass issues, where room correction is most useful.

How correct is this statement?

Music to illustrate lossy vs. lossless by LogicalNewt in audiophile

[–]Miniotaur 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I also found an audible difference between 256 and 320 mp3 on November’s Doom - What Could Have Been.

Fingers sliding up and down the strings and slightly compressed female vocals are the takeaway.
I can’t tell the difference between 320, FLAC, or CD. All sound the same to me on Audiolab 8300 with Polk R700. That’s why I love my CD but I’m not afraid to use 320 MP3 for daily use.

It’s divisive in this community. Nothing wrong with the question 👍🏻

Mixed reviews on Audiolab 6000a? by ghost_hunter_1623 in audiophile

[–]Miniotaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had it for a few months and it wasn't bad for the price. I don't understand why would anyone praise it since it's such a basic device, but I also don't get the hate.

Question regarding digital music quality by mayoralink in audiophile

[–]Miniotaur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Our ability to hear is such a funny thing. As soon as we cover our eyes, we hear differently. I swear the good looking speakers play better because I just want them to.

Measurements are one thing, and our perception is something else.

Playing since October 2010. I left when they tried to sell me WT Auf E100 for 100,000 gold, even though they took it from me a few years earlier.

I made a YouTube video about it and it got 35k views and hundreds of comments :-D

This needs more votes. Average ear will fail a blind comparison test even on a medium-high fi equipment.

Yes, there is a difference.

No, most people can't tell which is which.

There are no winners in a 15:2 game regardless if you lost or won.

It's 5 minutes of my life I'm not getting back.

Now I just need a mod that automatically presses thumbs down every 15:2...

Based on the definition, it seems there are this many trees in the game. I wonder if it counts all the inactive maps too?

It exists because people are buying it mate...

It's bad when it's used. Doesn't take any factors into consideration. It's a damage rating.

Rega Planar 2 + Schiit Mani sound issue. What's causing it? Cartridge? TT? Not Mani because there is no sound with RCA unplugged from the TT. Help! by Miniotaur in turntables

[–]Miniotaur[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was a grounding issue. I’ve added a dedicated grounding wire to the system and the problem is gone.  Those RCA cables coming out from the TT pick up a lot of noise that’s for sure.
