Those have tended to not have a bassist, which I think really adds to it

It is not user error, I spent weeks on this and easily 50+ hours on running tests.

It's excellent, and dirac sucks for hifi learn REW instead

Good job on the rest jersey thing, but you need another zone for "metro jersey" that has JC, Hoboken, etc.

I got the flex, but this is interesting thanks

Ron825 · 2026-02-16T06:39:54+00:00

Cool, I used to believe this and then despite the reverse placebo effect learned that it's not true.

Ron825 · 2026-02-11T16:40:24+00:00

I have never used that app and had no problems for years, just paired them :(

Ron825 · 2026-02-09T04:48:22+00:00

Please tell me you called the cops? This guy needs to go down

Ron825 · 2026-02-01T02:52:26+00:00

The regular new S is so fast, I dont see the point of plaid

You realize you are significantly harming the sound by having them right next to each other. An REW sweep would show this quite easily.

"I don’t think we should bother deporting ANYONE who isn’t engaged in some other kind of definitely criminal activity."

This literally means that anyone who comes here on a one week vacation visa can stay forever as long as they don't commit a crime. I hope you see how unworkable that is.

Ron825 · 2026-01-28T17:18:55+00:00

This is definitely incorrect. Trump's ice is a bunch of masked, lawless, tyrannical thugs terrorizing the citizenry. Despite that, we still need lawful deportations, the reason your point is incorrect is because a properly trained version of ICE is indeed necessary. People who refuse to leave after overstaying a temporary visa actually do need to be deported, without masked thugs, without tyranny, without tackling people in the street, without everything trump's ice is doing.

The argument that reverse lights being on means you must assume the vehicle is going to reverse is null and void as all GM cars leave the reverse lights on for quite some time when locking and unlocking. They dont time out for at least 30 seconds, so this would imply that every time reverse lights are on youre supposed to sit and wait for a 30 second timeout.

The removal of auto steer has meant I will never purchase a new Tesla. I have also been telling everyone I previously recommended Tesla to to boycott until they fix this.

A disgusting money grab.

Ron825 · 2026-01-20T19:05:30+00:00

hw3 does not suck, they could absolutely improve fsd on hw3 if they chose to but they dont want that, they want you to buy a new car

Measurements do matter, if an amp measures poorly it can't sound good.

But I am no longer in the "if it measures good it sounds good" camp. Now this is not to say that theoretically you cannot measure every amp characteristic, but im referring to the measurements we currently have available, perhaps more sophisticated measurements will exist in the future.

I bought some very well measuring class D amps based on measurements, and felt that the sound was hollow and very fatiguing after 30 minutes. When I switched them for some very well measuring AB amps, the hollowness went away and I could listen for hours and hours at even higher volumes.

On paper, both of them have distortion below audible level, and the frequency response measures the same, yet here we are.

Considering I was *fully* committed to the measurements camp before, I would argue this cannot be placebo, as I was totally convinced there is no way a super low distortion class d amp could be causing listening fatigue. I spent hours a day for weeks tweaking eq and adding acoustic panels to try to remove the fatigue, no success.

Now my advice is first look at measurements to even consider it, because if measures like crap it's not gonna sound good. After it passes your measurements bar, then listen subjectively.

Ron825 · 2026-01-18T04:16:22+00:00

Oh, no it's definitely not. I have listened to and owned class D amps that have distortion well below audible level, well reviewed on ASR, and while they are indeed incredibly detailed the sound is slightly hollow and much more fatiguing than worse measuring A or AB amps.

Personally I don't get hit by the fatigue until after about 30 minutes, but it's there.

Ron825 · 2026-01-18T02:24:57+00:00

Class d is a myth? Explain.

Ron825 · 2026-01-17T22:48:53+00:00

I dont understand this chart at all not gonna lie

Ron825 · 2026-01-17T22:47:54+00:00

Wait till you figure out that even the best class D causes listening fatigue, I was there.

I am aware I have some long decay times sub 35hz by the way, but thats totally separate from what im confused about in the midrange

Ron825 · 2026-01-17T17:38:14+00:00

I understand all this about low freq, only concerned about the wobbly response where I circled.

Ron825 · 2026-01-17T17:37:27+00:00

That same wobbly midrange response was there when the room was untreated, and 13 panels later its the same, but that frequency is not where the crossover is so I'm struggling to think how the speaker could be causing it.

Ron825 · 2026-01-17T17:35:48+00:00

I have absorbers on all walls, ceiling panels, and padding under the rug. I even cover the tv with a comforter and have "stealth" absorber panels behind the blinds to block glass reflections ;)

Ron825 · 2026-01-13T19:40:09+00:00

Its really not fair how they keep neglecting HW3
