I listen to my Klipsch RB51 ref. IV
Ah, yes.
I look at comtuer generated waveforms from my flacs, and simply imagine in perfect vividity the exact sound that would be produced with perfect audio equipment.
Only losers would pay for what you can get for free.
Actually, I switched to Philips mcd708 speakers now. Or as i like to call them: the hiss revealers.
So far I only had hifi headphones.
What are the smallest bookshelf/tabletop speakers worth getting if I want to listen to Judas Pries at my computer desk in my rather small bedroom?
I want to get something decent with some bass present and have it as small as possible.
The iLoud MTM sure looks interesting for that purpose.
Shitty horn-design with resonant cabiins, no thx.
attractive
Thanks bros, looks super interesting. Pretty much what i was looking for.
Although this bass drop off kinda worries me, at least compared to the headphones.
Is this going to be ok without a sub? Do the miniature subs also exist?

Hard to say, haven't heard them. Bass is also precived differently with speakers than headphones as headphones just stimulates your ears while speakers also stimulates your nostrils
Sunfire makes the smallest subs that I know of. Due the laws of physics, it's hard to make something small that can play deep and loud, so you have to decide somewhat on how much you want to compromise.
>speakers also stimulates your nostrils
wat
Pressurewaves finds their way into your nostril, nothing weird about that if you think about it.
Yes but your nose isn't a sound detector. Bones, skin and muscles are.
pressure does not discriminate, are you some sort of imbecile?
>pressure does not whatever
the nose isn't designed to be a dedicated pressure detector you silly person
Why don't you post an authoritative article specifying that the nostrils operate as acoustic receivers.
Can someone explain CD players to me. Does a $20 CD player vs a $200 CD player actually improve sound, or is it just better build quality?
>improve sound, or is it just better build quality
false dichotomy
most people can get along with an inexpensive CD player since new technologies are better and better
if your sound system is higher end, and distinguishes differences more prominently, a CD player with a better DAC, preamp and power supply can give noticeable differences, but whether those differences are worth an extra 100 or 1000 dollars is somewhat subjective
i think most blu ray players are pretty excellent with CD music output
but for example i used to use a portable panasonic player which is relatively decent to take around with me but it had problems with jitter, error rejection, and when the battery ran down, the volume output did weird things and not good
Yeah agree.
Classics with Microsuede
>a CD player with a better DAC, preamp and power supply can give noticeable differences
Where is the proof that anyone can hear the diference between a 15 euro dvd player and whatever fancy shit?
the original discussion was about CD players, and presumably inexpensive portable players compared to more expensive portable or console-type players
in terms of CD vs DVD players, this post explains it pretty well:

when i walk too hard near this cd player the music will skip, so the transport is important
Voice coil rubs on the magnet, anyone know where I can get a decent 8" 8ohm replacement woofer?
Thiele/Small parameters are never going to match, forget it.
Pioneer:
177026 Woofer
used in:
CS-J625
sometimes drivers are sold individually on ebay and this seller may still have one
ebay.com
or look for vintage models on craigslist/ebay
fortcollins.craigslist.org
you can also call places like madisound or partsexpress but 16 ohm woofers that size are harder to match
If the coils aren't damaged refoaming might fix them. Except if the spider is the problem.
They're probably too small (not enough weight there) for the upside down trick.
i always rip the spider on recone jobs
What are you doing man? That is not Clay Paky.
> still the same
Are you using bricks to dampen vibration into the turntable?
They were just part of the previous setup, and I just didn't bother to move them, so they're re-stacked to hold stuff now.
I'm not sure whether they make much difference in terms of damping. I think the foam blocks under the sub make more difference.
Nice set up. Do you use a DAC?
It's purely just for vinyl.
I do have a separate Mies phono preamp that I could use instead of the NAD's onboard, but it seems to sound fine as is.
