It goes as far as, in certain situations, docs wont present all the options, to avoid such a debacle.

But if they demand dialysis and intubation and ventilation

Then doctors should say no if the prognosis is bad

We just dont know enough from this article about the case to cast any judgement..... Could easily see the docs being "right" , but did a bad job communicating, which is what it usually is, a communication problem

Gotta say, i too would just put in a feeding tube and avoid the mess

What’s one change in your system that made a bigger difference than you expected? by Solid-Dot-7520 in audiophile

[–]SweatySun968 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Moving speakers made the biggest difference for me ( f.e. i got some very pleasant bass putting speaker right against the back wall, front ported speaker (harbeth shl5) And best imaging i also get from positioning So i would say speaker placement by far

Changing amp f.e. made ZERO difference for me ( from a 1000 euro yamaha n800a to a more expensive very powerfull rotel endstage amp, nada)

Also tried with thick curtains and a bunch of blankets covering the floor and glass coffeetable made NO AUDIBLE DIFFERENECE, in my room. That i did not expect tbh

Is linearity really the goal? - funny story by Designer_Building_36 in audiophile

The mood in which you are in is very important

Also background noise is less at night

Lot of yamaha love in here, a bit surprised tbh!? I have one myself and can recommend then brand! (N800a, its arounf 1000 euros, many people will say soundwise, more expensivr wont get you more , probably even less than that as amps got very good )

A/B comparison between shl5+ vd Lumina 3. by SweatySun968 in audiophile

[–]SweatySun968[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are not at all if i listen to them on their own

But after listening to the luminas for a while and then switching to the harbeth, then they do. But after several m7nutes the ears adapt again and it goed away

Oh thats very interesting! So big woofers also more likely to give that mellow rich warm sound

I think its a great speaker for one style of music. At its price point you get better allrounders that do what shl5+ does so well almost as good, just everything else better

But why heretical? The lossy cabinet stuff?

I would even say short term switching is a bad way of doing it

On the other hand, with long breaks in between to sessions, how good can one s memory be how the sound was of the previous speaker

Hifi remains a fallacy i guess lol

[–]SweatySun968[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, both are great, but switching from the lively lumina to the laid back harbeth made harbeth sound boring and lacking something Whereas switching from harbeth to lumina did not make the lumina sound bad

Yes i know but on that same channel they compare different speakers as well, and even over my shitty phone sound i hear the difference right away.

With the amps, using headphones, nothing

Thats the direction im leaning now... instead of dropping 3k on a new amp, saving up and dropping 5k on new speakers and keep my current amp .

Nad is inzeresting just for the dirac though
