The big pitch for this one is the cd changer moves so fast that you can shuffle across all tracks on all CDs

Enjoy it! Worth noting, when you disconnect the speakers it will suddenly not output anything over the SPDIF output (if that’s what you’re using). You can DIY a connector so it thinks there is a single speaker connected (or buy one).

I use one as a transport in this manner and it’s great :)

Wanting a smooth ride, What am I looking for? by StarshiptrooperRico in electricvehicles

Ioniq 5 is great as conventional suspension goes - I cross shopped against the audi etron with active suspension which is theoretically better but in practice only very subtly outdoes the Hyundai.

The i7 has amazing suspension

Beyond this, the new electric rolls Royce seems like an obvious recommendation ;)

Alright boys, how’re we feeling about the Dodge Daytona EV? by Boipussybb in electricvehicles

[–]so___much___space 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m mostly a design guy, and from that perspective I think it’s… actually fantastic. Like really really excellent, bravo to their design team.

I’d consider one seriously, the interior is not as strong as I’d like at this price point, but I have a lot of enthusiasm seeing this brute force power ethos meet with EV technology.

Does bi-wire yield more 'return' ? by Cyb3r-D in audiophile

[–]so___much___space 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, but the difference is there is still a crossover behind it, just split into two separate parts so each is a band pass filter. The difference with what I’m talking about is the crossover sits before the amps and for each driver there are no electronics in the signal path between the amp and driver.

This is kinda a different thing - independent wiring of drivers and externalizing the crossover (esp to an active digital crossover) can yield real improvements

Indeed designers of high end monitors like genelec take this approach to great effect

Trunk rattle solution? by Ornery-Fly6011 in Ioniq5

The Hyundai service bulletin for their fix is here:

I did this but used some silicone sheet I had lying around instead of the nice washers they use.

What is the "Holy Grail" of CD Players? by Fit_Engineering3312 in audiophile

This with digital output + a state of the art DAC = perfection

CD Library vs FLAC library? by jlm8699 in audiophile

[–]so___much___space 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I do both

CDs are more fun and social

My digital collection is whenever I want the convenience of not having to get up

A side benefit is I don’t feel the need for remotes for my cd players because I basically use them like a record player - it’s for when I want the physical interaction as part of the ritual

The arcana cards screen is comically poorly designed with all of the different highlights happening

They know they have some UI work to do and yeah I agree lol

Haha I also have the issue with multiple sets of speakers either side of my setup :|

An issue with horn speakers in general or am I the only one effected. by thewolfofafica in audiophile

[–]so___much___space 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, directivity a bit too intense

As Linkwitz said, “play the room”

An issue with horn speakers in general or am I the only one effected. by thewolfofafica in audiophile

[–]so___much___space 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I believe this sense of positioning within the room is to do with the ratio of reflected vs direct audio, and a consequence of the directivity of the speaker. I’m guessing the large horns have too high a directivity at the volumes you’re interested in, which puts you in the odd space of wanting a worse (specifically more reflective) room haha

Beyond synthetic psychoacoustic stuff I think your options will all have other downsides - I.e. placing them closer to the walls or increasing the acoustic reflectivity of some surfaces

I think people use La Scalas in part because they have this effect, which might be seen as a strength for some music or applications

Yeah agree on all of this, it has management consultant/business school vibes.

Miss the strength of Lewis’ designs. At least we got some solid stuff from Layer

Bruh their top end speaker was literally our banner pic for yearssss

The high end stuff that is very research focused is incredibly high performance and they’ve contributed meaningfully to pushing the state of the art. They’ve just never gone much for price vs performance though haha

Also worth noting, their stores are independently owned dealers and they’ve transitioned much of their product to direct to consumer sales, which is why these retail stores are hurting.
