more components = better sound

2017-06-27 21:49:34 UTC  

fact

2017-06-27 21:49:38 UTC  

just slap a tube in it with all pins connect to gnd

2017-06-27 21:49:42 UTC  

lol

2017-06-27 21:49:42 UTC  

audiophiles eat that shit up

2017-06-27 21:49:59 UTC  

guys remember to use silver cables

2017-06-27 21:50:02 UTC  

put a orange led pwm'd really dim under it

2017-06-27 21:50:10 UTC  

they'll think it's a real tube amp

2017-06-27 21:50:25 UTC  

wasnt there a chink tube amp that literally did that?

2017-06-27 21:50:29 UTC  

several

2017-06-27 21:50:33 UTC  

kek

2017-06-27 21:50:37 UTC  

most of them just use the tube as a preamp stage

2017-06-27 21:50:44 UTC  

just to add that tube noise to the signal

2017-06-27 21:50:47 UTC  

i saw a soundbar with a tube in it

2017-06-27 21:50:49 UTC  

i was like wtf

2017-06-27 21:50:57 UTC  

soundbars are aids anyway

2017-06-27 21:51:02 UTC  

ye

2017-06-27 21:51:17 UTC  

"hey what if we sold just the crappy tv speaker by itself, but for like $200"

2017-06-27 21:51:19 UTC  

lmao

2017-06-27 21:51:19 UTC  

thats soundbars

2017-06-27 21:51:28 UTC  

why

2017-06-27 21:51:44 UTC  

because rich people are stupid and will buy stupid shit

2017-06-27 21:51:55 UTC  

i still find it funny that grado sells a cmoy for like 10 times the price

2017-06-27 21:52:12 UTC  

ye

2017-06-27 21:52:19 UTC  

most headphone amps over like $50 are just audiophool markup

2017-06-27 21:52:39 UTC  

all dacs aside from special purpose data aquisition or audio production equipment over $30 are audiophool markup

2017-06-27 21:52:47 UTC  

idk you get really nice cases

2017-06-27 21:52:49 UTC  

hahaha

2017-06-27 21:53:49 UTC  

a "measurably 100% mathematicall proveably perfectly recreates every sound a human can hear" dac is like $25 BOM to make a one-off, can be made for under $10/pop if you're buying in a "i am selling these to the public" scale

2017-06-27 21:55:57 UTC  

and even that's overkill because go ahead, try and find a song, audiobook, tv show, anything like that, with a dynamic range over 70dB, and also consider that 120dB dynamic range means that in a signal using the full dynamic range, if you can hear the quietest part of it, the loudest part of it will literally destroy your ears

2017-06-27 21:56:13 UTC  

I ended up buying the kz zs5, let's see what they're worth

2017-06-27 21:56:23 UTC  

yea ive ordered a pair

2017-06-27 21:56:25 UTC  

cool

2017-06-27 21:56:30 UTC  

i kinda want a pair to fuck with

2017-06-27 21:56:40 UTC  

yeah the whole dynamic range thing is funny

2017-06-27 21:56:45 UTC  

with silver cables since it wasn't that much more, and I had a coupon anyway

2017-06-27 21:57:03 UTC  

you know what's _really_ funny

2017-06-27 21:57:04 UTC  

i always laugh when vinyl autists argue that vinyl has a superior dynamic range

2017-06-27 21:57:09 UTC  

audiophool capacitors
