Thanks for sharing the experience, Chris. Actually, I'd be curious about the total cost (ballpark). Glad they used the speakers in your preferred color. THAT, is customer service. :) Do you listen that loud at home? If so, maybe your wife could talk with my wife...

I'm also suffering from an earache at the moment so the thought of three Van Halen albums is unbearable. Some Vivaldi or Agnes Obel perhaps...

fas42 Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Interesting how there's the concept that it's impossible to capture how well a rig is working - what happens with a "low resolution" capture is that the misdemeanours of the playback are quite easily picked up, and come through loud and clear on even something like a YouTube clip. It's the absence of any anomalies in clip playback, that one is unable to detect any giveaways that the SQ is not optimum that tell the story - not, that suddenly say your laptop speakers sound, absolutely fabulous, 😉.

I don't want to go off into the weeds, but there's no way to know if the bad sound quality is from the terrible A to D converter in the phone doing the recording or the terrible codec used by YouTube etc...
