if you get the new macbook pro it has better speakers than the last one so just throw your old computer in the trash immediately and do that op

KOTEX GOD OF BLOOD posted:inbuilt dac/amp (active speaker) is trash for children, no way the xeos come close to dynaudio's passive line. the excite x18 is one of the best bookshelves ive heard but it was juuuust outside of my price range depends on the components, some of the best speakers in the world are active [e.g. wilson audio] and the xeos are their excite speakers with some electronics attached to them, they wouldn't sound any different unless they used crappy components and that's not what dynaudio is known for active speakers make audiophiles mad because they can't spend 50 grand making them sound the same/worse with giant piles of outboard gear and cables

also the proper way to implement active speakers for pc's is over usb so you can control the volume using the os gently caress having multiple chained volume controls

once I was told that Audes speakers were designed by former Soviet fighter avionics engineers in Estonia, and at the time their web site just had lots of charts and graphs their current web site doesn't make that claim, it says they were making consumer radio and hi-fi equipment for the Soviet Union

I have a set of Behringer MS40 speakers at home. They've been pretty decent to me for the past few years.

KOTEX GOD OF BLOOD posted:which of the wilson speakers are active? i dont think teh alexandrias are (the ones they are known for which stebe [pbuh] had a pair iirc) I think I got them mixed up with meridian because they both make giant fiberglass dalek speakers. anyway, there's now scientific evidence that low bitrate audio makes the world worse quote:According to a study by the Audio Engineering Library, MP3s and similar low-quality compression formats have a distinct effect on the timbral and emotional characteristics of the instruments involved - strengthening neutral and negative emotional characteristics, and weakening positive ones.

"So playing Pharell's Happy won't have quite the same uplifting effect at a lower bitrate." lol lol. the only way this song could be listenable is if it were degraded as hell, sounding like it's miles under the ocean past any point of recognition

makes the world a worse place is a dumb take away the "negative" emotional characteristics spoken of are a positive for many, when it is a deliberate aesthetic decision

there is exactly one negative emotional characteristic of audible artifacting and it's anger at how lovely the music sounds

seems like the right thread for this: shinola, pioneers in the "buy Chinese watch parts for one dollar, pay some guy in detroit to assemble it, say it's made in the usa, charge $600" industry are making a turntable see if you can guess how much it costs just from the pictures $2500 earth dollars
|
# ? Dec 7, 2016 21:13 |
|
cool, my guess was only a thousand dollars short
|
# ? Dec 7, 2016 21:24 |

those are v. pretty tho
|
# ? Dec 7, 2016 21:54 |

i mean, there's no good reason to want a turntable anyway, so the price makes sense given that the target market are idiots.

Kanto YU2 trip report: a lot better than the old Logitech X-540 system i replaced. would recommend if you can find them on sale. i think massdrop has them sometimes. also the glossy white goes great with NZXT's glossy white cases.

flakeloaf posted:wouldn't it stretch pretty much instantly if car belts can run for 30k miles I think a turntable belt will last long enough there's plenty of $2500 turntables already though which is the main problem with this thing since most of them look much nicer, the shinola looks like they stuck it in a reclaimed fruit crate each of these costs one thousand dollars less than the shinola and doesn't look like it was designed by john varvatos and johnny depp
