To test loudspeakers do not use music, voice is superior testing material.

low ceiling, hard floor, no curtains

why care about acoustics when you can spend money rolling tubes and finding the perfect power cable for each part of you chain?

What's with that Behringer amp being all sensible in the corner over there? Like someone a moment of clarity once.

yeah, I've seen the behringer a500 and it's predecessors pretty often in audiophile context, one of these rare hyped things they pull out of their asses like the ps1 dac

Guess there is no other plausible explanation than this. Audiophiles are fucking weird.

bump

>not audiophile-grade plant in the corner

might aswell listen to 96k mono mp3 with $2 earbuds.

no it isn't, voice is an easy thing for speakers to do

>wat is vocal music
Usually, but it depends on voice, a powerful soprano backed by a full orchestra sounds like ass on the wrong speaker. Solo/unplugged vocals are piss easy though.

...

ayyy lmao wtf even is that?

multi directional tweeter

I rather use a mix of sounds and music tones.

But then again, I'm not an audiophile with $1000+ speaker cables.

>put the tweeter in a corner
>you now have a tweeter for all of the directions that matter

>wh*te people

What's the point of such elaborate and expensive setups? Are there people out there who literally just sit and listen to music in their house?

Yes, there are

True audiophiles spend the bulk of their spending on building the listening room. spending silly money on placebo-tier source/amp/speakers and plonking them in the middle of their living room is beyond retarded, even for audiophiles.

If you've got a room set up right, you don't need to spend more than a few hundred dollars on amps & speakers

what are the bulb things though

multidirectional midrange :3

>spend tens of thousands of dollars on audio equipment
>house looks like shit with cables trailing all over the place

That's a hotel room. I think at the Mirage. Why drag all that shit in to a hotel room?

Are those tesla coils?

worst part is the hole in the wall can cost as much as the room

Looking to sperg out on one of those headphone boxes and a quality pair of headphones. I have a pair of steelseries now (liked the old Icemats when i was a kiddo) but want something real comfy for listening to my vinyl flac rips of IAOTS.
Give me babbys first gestalt.

>60238871
nothing crazy here, just adds up.

>soundcard
using separate channels for dps

It's about your brain being good at recognizing voices you dense piece of shite.

>Why drag all that shit in to a hotel room?
I'm thinking convention and stuck with a small display booth so they set up in a room.

Fuck op, QUICK POST TECHNO SNECKS

please explain why there is a motherfucking reel to reel

this some advanced level analog faggotry

HISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

...

If I had even a quarter of the money these people use on their setups I'd invest it all in music production equipment instead.

cause muh analog
Madness...

What the fuck are these cables?

they carry super cooled audio plasma into the tubes which then vaporize the audio into airborn lossless particles

It's for a better musicality goy

You mean audiophool?

I respect ricing. It's A E S T H E T I C. Nobody claims to be more productive with their loli waifu background and pink i3 theme.

I respect battlestations. There is an art to case design, and again, it's about looks and comfiness. Nobody thinks that the red LEDs in the case make it go faster.

Audiophilery is idiotic stupidity for cock sockets with more money than sense. You can't hear the difference between 320KCBR and FLAC, and if you think you can, you are a moron who doesn't know how sound works. And you sure as fuck can't tell the difference with your $100 cable lifters and monster cables and all this other foolishness.

you need to put this speakers on some stand
one foot height at last

I don't see it like that necessarily.

I see it at the natural tendency of people to refuse an "upper limit" to anything.

if there is a good, then they seek a higher good. it doesn't matter how subtle the improvement, they still seek it.

they never want to believe that they've truly attained the "best sound possible", there's always another tweak to be made

that is what all technology is about, improving what may not be able to be improved. but then all progress would halt, and where would there to be to go? suicide?

...

Anyone else reminded of Day of the Tentacle when they see that speaker?

This is good enough for me and about as far as I want to progress down this path for quite awhile.

This Guy Is A God

Just dropped 400 on a new setup for my pc. Got a pair of Pioneer SP-BS22-LR Andrew Jones speakers up front, a Polk Audio PSW10 sub, all running through a Yamaha Rx-V377 receiver, sounds great!

Voice is a much more limited frequency range than music.
Using just voice would be retarded.

Tesla power inverter

That looks like the sort of room where you watch extremely violent and deviant pornography while sipping a glass of port and nobbling o na cheese selection.

yes , but also that Parasyte mango/animu

Yes, but only highest quality systems can reproduce real naturalness of human voice

solar power changes the sonic tonality to a much brighter color.

that's a big horn

That's nice but unless if reproduces the real naturalness of instruments as well then it's worthless.

all that audiophile shit in this threas
and I'm sitting here listening to dubstep on my 15$ bluetooth over ear headphones

Times like this I regret not having semitic genes.

Classical music will always be the GO TO in terms of testing material

You can't beat that

Unquestionably high quantity of redditry in this post.

Bought a pair of those Pioneer speakers at a black Friday sale for $100.
Very happy with them, esp for the price.

Are they low sensitivity/ hard to drive?

Anyone know anything about the stinky chinky Duronic stands on Amazon?

Cheap af but might be shitty quality control.

I have a 50 euro set that look more stable than that and are height adjustable.

85 db/w/m, so not what you'd call very efficient. But they are pretty easy to drive. Tried them with a few different amps, and even my little Yamaha AX-330 was enough to get convincing volume out of them.

Does anybody have problems with computer noise?

I have an external DAC, but I can still hear clicking that gets louder when I move my mouse.

Audiophiles are the laughing stock of the consumer electronics world

usb dac?
powered how?
anything in syslogs about usb losing sync or otherwise erroring out?

It is a USB DAC, but I also get the same noise if I just use the 3,5mm on the motherboard.

Any non private tracker where I can download lossless classical music?

USB DAC that is USB powered.

There's that one Russian one.

link?

I'm new to all this

rutracker, get Google Translate ready

Things I'd try:
-use another source to make sure there is no noise
-hang the dac off another port, try a (powered) hub
-is the motherboard jack noisy if you use headphones on it?

>use another source to make sure there is no noise
No noise as soon as I unplug the PC from the rest of the stereo.
>hang the dac off another port, try a (powered) hub
Noise on all ports.
>is the motherboard jack noisy if you use headphones on it?
No

thanks!

Ground loop maybe? If so can be hard to ferret out.
You could try disconnecting everything (peripherals, modem) not needed to get sound, using only one wall outlet for pc and amp.

It's definitely not a ground loop (no hum). It's digital noise of some sort.

Does the way the noise sounds change when you stress your cpu?

I'll need to test that.

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but my parents have an old Bose surround sound system (yeah I know, fuck Bose) that I'm trying to set up and I'm wondering if this thing even supports real surround sound. Every one of the inputs on the receiver seems to just be for a pair of RCA cables. Doesn't that mean this thing can only really carry two channels, aka stereo? Is there any way to give it 5.1 channel surround sound? Does it encode the surround sound signal into two-channel stereo like Dolby Pro Logic?

My TV only outputs audio through a little 3.5mm headphone jack and through a digital optical audio output. Could it correctly interpret a digital 5.1 signal if I bought an optical audio -> stereo RCA adapter? Would it be a lot better sounding than the headphone jack? Because right now I've got it sort of working via a headphone -> stereo RCA adapter

>two channels
difference between channels => surround
concordance => center

They called it Dolby Surround.

How much do the stands holding up the technopython cost?

>Dolby Surround
Okay so that's like Pro Logic then.
Should I use something like this with it instead of the 3.5mm to 2x RCA?

I don't think it would make a difference.

Are there any good speakers that can be built into walls? I'd like to have surround setup, but there's no space :(

hey Sup Forums

beginner in audio here
i want to purchase speakers and i guess a sound system for decent price, probably like 600$ CAD or something like that

any advice ?

> google in-wall speakers
> google on wall flat speakers
Too many to list. Figure out your price range and go from there.

I don't know how much longer my iPod has before it dies for good. Is there a superior brand to use for portable music players? I really don't want to support Apple but I'm so used to the damn thing by now.

>sold 3 pairs of speakers yesterday as I didn't use them
>for some reason I feel regret
what is this disease? I have a better pair of towers, yet I wish I kept the older speakers

>all that fancy shit in front of a giant window that will rattle like crazy ruining any advantages of all that crap
