How many more decades would it take for my iPhone to be considered as a vintage audio player?

After 7 years of using LSR305s I only just realized they sound a lot better when hooked on balanced line outs.

Brain Issues posted:I wish mine lasted that long, the tweeter on one of mine stopped working right after they were discontinued for the mkii I also bought a pair of mk2s for $230 in 2020 and the original pair is now at living room duty hooked to a SMSL DO100 streaming from LDAC bluetooth. Probably placebo but I find the low bass on both is uncomfortably boomy with unbalanced inputs. I also have a pair of iLoud MMs on my second PC desk which I highly recommend for people who wants good sound on a space constrained setup. It even produces more bass than the 305s with LF -3dB trim off, lmao. Palladium fucked around with this message at 01:18 on Jun 2, 2022 |

Djarum posted:1991 is the turning point where vinyl had been overtaken by compact cassette and CD. Furthermore CDs had become mature enough that you had mastering focusing on its well defined limits. Also the fact that many people using either were doing so on lovely, often portable players with lovely speakers/headphones where as with vinyl it was almost always on some sort of a home system. The loudness war really happened when you had the first digital brick-wall limiter with look-ahead available in any real numbers. and all that fidelity is wasted on stupid loudness wars

namlosh posted:Yep, barring the super expensive headphones… I addressed this. Some people don’t like the output of built-ins which is fine. They want a different one. The default approach to headphone amps is to buy and test with the Apple dongle first before you even think of any amp 99% of the time that would work perfect unless you want to damage your hearing

Sigmund Fraud posted:Also, does anyone here have experience with the Wharfedale Evo 4.2 speakers? I listened to them briefly and and were impressed. Their form factor is similar to my current speakers (which I like). Are big bookshelf speakers unnecessary if I also have a subwoofer that can deal with the lower frequencies? I'm doing a test listen at somebody's else house before i buy them second hand I also did listened to them briefly at an audio shop, at least i know for sure they aren't sibilant at all. They also had the Lintons which I wasn't impressed at all probably due to their excessively small room

My trip report for Wharfedale Evo 4.2:
i got them home at the end for $600, lol i played around a bit and i already find so much better than my Kali LP-6 v2s in my acoustically crappy living room Palladium fucked around with this message at 12:56 on Mar 25, 2023 |

It's funny how Wharfedales have a huge following here in Singapore because they are cheap, yet nobody ever sells their Diamond 12.2 on the local used market versus a fuckton of much more expensive used KEF LS50s.

Sigmund Fraud posted:How small speakers can you get provided you use a subwoofer? Does a 6.5" or 8" woofer do anything a 5" driver can't? I've been eying a big Wharfedale Evo 4.2 speaker but would I be just as well off with a smaller Evo 4.1 since I'm planning to pair them with a sub? As a Evo 4.2 owner, I don't recommend the 4.1 at all. It's a 2-way speaker which is too expensive for a 2-way, and for not much more $ you can have a 4.2 that is a proper 3-way speaker with the midrange dome. His Divine Shadow posted:Based on googling, a capacitor is a "passive crossover". I'm not sure what to think here, are these speakers supposed to have a crossover board from factory? Was the smallest tweeter unplugged from factory, seems weird if so. Or did previous owners remove the board if it had one for something else. Technically there's no need for a crossover board if the design is simple enough (e.g 1st order crossover with just one cap and one inductor). From the looks of your weird rear end crossover that cap is most likely hooked in series to the tweeter and there's no inductor on the woofer. Which means the former is high-passed in first order at some frequency depending on the capacitance, and the latter is receiving and reproducing the full range signal from the amp. /end effortposting tone Palladium fucked around with this message at 11:39 on Apr 7, 2023 |

from what i know watching all sorts of electronic repair vids, it seems like a problem usually caused by aged rubber bands
