   You're probably thinking of LZMA2.

   I've been searching for one hour, and the only truly safe thing is an HTPC linked to an OS-free commercial display like these large VAs from ViewSonic: https://www.viewsonic.com/global/products/commercial-disp

   Those .blr extensions in the examples are making me doubt: the result is still conformant and playable ogg Vorbis/Opus, right?

   Love the Plasmadyne logo! And that Xenon card gives me strong TriOptimum vibes.

    I have a free Deezer account from my family. Shit is extremely barren. Some examples: 1. (already posted on HN) Wanted to try Midori's early stuff, but no "1st" EP nor "2nd" LP. Not on Spotify nor Apple Music either

    Interesting article. While there's a lot to criticize about Snow's talk - that techno-optimism has aged very badly, after all - I think he's right that too many scientist types lack true artistic interest and thus insight g

    I guess you're right. Still, hate the kind of system that forces people to upload random garbage instead of rewarding long term seeding (especially of stuff with no or a single other seed), it's not a healthy relation with music.

    Not really. See AB and its generous system yet very well furnished selection. Orpheus is simply less popular.

    Movies? If you want Blu-Ray remuxes or ISOs (you do, cf 2nd paragraph) of non-mainstream stuff, it can be a bit hard on public trackers. But I do somewhat agree with you that you get less for you effort with TV/movies, since in my expe

    Protip: Orpheus exists for those who don't want to bother with Red's antiquated system that forces people to "play the game/economy" instead of just downloading what you want, uploading a little and seeding ad vita

    Of course you can, but it doesn't change the fact that's there's a general preference. Also, I'm pretty sure that even in your case, the changes you want to make are material dependent and neutrality would be more to you

    Sound reproduction (science) isn't sound production (art).

    I really suggest you get more into the NRC/Harman research about the subject. Individual preference does exist, but on average it doesn't. Same way that some people prefer more or less salt in their dishes, but you quickly converg

    I know it's unintuitive, but that line of thinking is mostly wrong. Average sound preference converges towards neutral, cf https://www.audioholics.com/loudspeaker-design/measure-louds... But well, that's abou

    Plenty of exemplary (according to CEA-2034-A) loudpspeakers once you shop in the active category, including low THD/IMD at high SPL and optional phase linearization to lower group delay. Neumann KH 120 II: https://assets.sen

    Any measurement microphone worth its salt is calibrated (even the cheap UMIK-1) so it comes with a frequency response file or a link to it.

    Don't agree here, I dislike my work M2 MBP's keyboards/trackpad. The keyboard is bad because I have mostly known non-chiclet keyboards on old Thinkpad/Latitude so nothing against Apple per se, all current laptops are sim
