Stuck in a Hole with Small Speakers and Big Sound

Two years ago, my wife and I sold our townhome where we lived for five years and bought a larger unit, which hadn’t even broke soil yet with construction. At a time when real estate was selling faster than James May in a Bugatti Veyron,

Ars Technica Looks at How Engineers Tweak Music for iPod Age

NAD VISO 1 Wireless Digital iPod Music System

More and more people are turning to a single device, like an iPod, to enjoy all of their music on-the-go or at home, but how will this effect how music is produced by our audio engineers?

In an age when Apple has become the top music retailer without selling a single physical disc, audio engineers are increasingly creating specially mastered versions of songs and albums designed to counteract the audio degradation caused by compression. Though audiophiles typically scoff at paying for compressed audio, preferring vinyl or high-end digital formats such as DVD-A, mastering engineers are doing their best to create digital masters that can pass through Apple’s iTunes algorithms with minimal sonic corruption.

Neil Young Stands Up Against The ‘Sound of Music’ Today

Neil Young Angered By 'Sound Of Music Today'

Recently with MTV News, Neil Young expresses how he is slowly losing faith in the quality of today's music

Recently, Josh Wigler from MTV News sat down with Canada’s legendary folk musician and writer, Neil Young, at this year’s Sundance Music festival to listen to him express his concerns about how people are listening to music today. As good as music sounds pouring out of highly-engineered loudspeakers, some of us believe that good quality music was abandoned in the wake of the digital era, even a lot of us here at PSB Speakers have digital music stored somewhere in a home or office. But Young feels like “our geniuses” have left the audio industry, and even went as far to argue that some digital formats only feature five percent of the data from the original studio mastered track, which this hall of fame musician sees to be a major problem. 

“Reflecting” on Room Acoustic Reflections

While recently visiting a friend who shares my similar passion for consumer electronics and speakers of audiophile calibre, he insisted I check out his so-called “listening room” in what he liked to call his “music lair”. Like a pair of unnourished sound geeks, we scurried down a couple of flights of stairs to listen to a few tracks, more or less auditioning for my approval of sound. The verdict: very poor.
