Poinzy Aug 17, 2017 How little contact with the written word do you have to have not to know how to spell "advice"?
Poinzy Aug 7, 2017 If the standard of proof were raised to a truly scientific level, about 95% of "audio journalists" would have to look for new jobs.

Poinzy Aug 4, 2017 Yes, I think the coffee table/subwoofer idea is a really stupid one. You can quote me.
Poinzy Jul 31, 2017 Again, I don't know why ASIO recording is working for me now. I was killing myself trying to get it to work before. Win 10? No idea.

Poinzy Jul 29, 2017 Given enough practice, I think you could learn to align your phono cartridge by eyeballing it. You think radio station jocks used gauges?

Poinzy Jul 27, 2017 People graduate from headphones to speakers, then treat the room to make it sound exactly like a set of headphones. What is the point?

Poinzy Jul 27, 2017 The best way to "treat" for bass frequencies is to get a bigger room. If you can't do that, settle for smaller speakers or use headphones.

Poinzy Jul 22, 2017 This little gremlin wanders between 560Hz and 490Hz, approximately. I have no idea what's causing it, except that it isn't a USB thing.

Poinzy Jul 17, 2017 What in heck produces a 540Hz electrical noise signature? It ain't USB. USB produces a 1kHz signature, plus harmonics. @ 1kHz multiples.

Poinzy Jul 16, 2017 I finally got ASIO recording mode to work. Maybe it's a Windows 10 thing. Suddenly, I'm having good luck.

Poinzy Jul 9, 2017 I notice that a lot of "audiophiles", especially newly minted ones, spend an awful lot of time operating on the theoretical level.

Poinzy Jul 9, 2017 As you gain experience you often discover that things that matter on a theoretical level don't matter on a practical level.

Poinzy Jul 8, 2017 My JBL Nanopatch passive attenuator has worked great in a bunch of different applications. I've never had impedance issues with it.

Poinzy Jul 8, 2017 SURE used Radio Crap stuff is cheap! There's a reason. People with brains didn't want it even when it was new.

Poinzy Jul 8, 2017 I never once saw a piece of audio gear sold by Radio Shack recommended in any credible audio mag. Not one time. Why are ppl buying RS crap?

Poinzy Jul 8, 2017 Vinyl newbs are rediscovering the wheel. Another entry in the "Where Have You Been?" chronicle.
Poinzy Jul 3, 2017 Newbies certainly have silly expectations when it comes to vinyl records. I've rarely heard such naive "discoveries".
