Audio_ELF Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 DigiPete... Is he some relation of Automan? Eloise (with appologies for completely subverting this thread) Eloise --- ...in my opinion / experience... While I agree "Everything may matter" working out what actually affects the sound is a trickier thing. And I agree "Trust your ears" but equally don't allow them to fool you - trust them with a bit of skepticism. keep your mind open... But mind your brain doesn't fall out. Link to comment
crisnee Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 No ma'am, and again, No ma'am, I don't. Or, Yes'm I do. But do I have a clue? (with appologies for completely subverting this thread) Automan say this don't sound sincere, and promises he will investigate further. -Chris Good night, I'm off to lala land, although I'm seem to be in it here too.

Rob McCance Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Pretty funny observations and very true! I am also bothered by all ambient noises. HVAC coming on, people walking upstairs, the MBP fan hissing, anything! Guess it comes with the territory.

Mark Powell Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 It is nice to see from the map that much of Africa, Pakistan, Iran, and Saudi Arabia don't have any prejudices. Link to comment
elcorso Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 ...to live in the Rainforest: 25º Celsius (year average), the you don't need a furnace and almost never air conditioned, a low noise ceiling fan is OK. But, when it rains (9 months per year), it rains. Cell phone service is bad. Internet speed is ridiculous. Our streets have more holes than asphalt, when there are streets. Bureaucracy is ugly (the government owns most of the public services). But, the air is so pure and our (all year long) very green nature is so beautiful, that I can live without furnace. Also the power and water bill is very low, you guess why... Roch Link to comment
DigiPete Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 "Jump the shark Ooooh, another mensa reference, albeit more subtle than Pissie's." I have never claimed to be right due to a Mensa membership. However, it could be a sublimated message or it could be just link ;-) Promise Pegasus2 R6 12TB -> Thunderbolt2 -> MacBook Pro M1 Pro -> Motu 8D -> AES/EBU -> Main: Genelec 5 x 8260A + 2 x 8250 + 2 x 8330 + 7271A sub Boat: Genelec 8010 + 5040 sub Hifiman Sundara, Sennheiser PXC 550 II Blog: “Confessions of a DigiPhile” Link to comment
Bob Stern Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 to the attic or the basement, which might give you some options for moving it farther from the listening room. At least it would free up interior space. HQPlayer (on 3.8 GHz 8-core i7 iMac 2020) > NAA (on 2012 Mac Mini i7) > RME ADI-2 v2 > Benchmark AHB-2 > Thiel 3.7 Link to comment
Bob Stern Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 I can't figure out what DigiPete said that referred to Mensa or "jump the shark". Sorry for my cluelessness, but I don't even know what the latter means.

I wouldn't mind a little clarification on the Mensa tie-in myself (although I guess the esoterica adds to the Mensa mystique), but as a gentleman of letters, I can tell you that "jump the shark" is a reference to the Happy Days TV series. Something about the Fonz waterskiing.
