| Vandersteens on active speakers and room correction My three most memorable hifi moments were the following but not necessarily in the following order1. A pair of horn Avantgarde 2. Thiels CS2.43. And Vandersteens 5A driven by some huge tube ampsOf the three, the 5A had the most unique presentation... | |
| Speaker cable arrows??? you sick little monkey? That's the name of a little movie I saw last night :-) | |
| Directionality Explained OK, I am going to pool together some of my buddies - each an expert in different disciplines, then pretend like I know them all :-) | |
| Speaker cable arrows??? And to make things even more complicated, an AC current is not AC that is it is not symmetric. Some of its aspect is sort of like a DC current. | |
| Speaker cable arrows??? To make things a bit more complicated, a speaker cable exists in a three dimensional space, therefore the electro-magnetic energy not necessarily confined as in a 2 dimensional circuit diagram for example. | |
| Speaker cable arrows??? Answer this question. If I have 7 inductors that are L7>L6>L5>L4>L3>L2>L1 that is L7 is greatest and L1 is smallest in that order.Let’s say I put them all in series, starting with L7 and ending with L1 in that order. And run an A... | |
| Speaker cable arrows??? The difference of "directionality" may be subtle, so you may need some pretty high end system to tell the difference. For most systems, however, the difference may be too small to be audible.If anything, the arrows serve to let you know the cable... | |
| IM Distortion, Speakers and the Death of Science Anyone here trusts your life with a 747 will land on its own? Or reading your brain scan? Raise your hands. | |
| IM Distortion, Speakers and the Death of Science As I said in my previous post, AI will augment human reasoning and decision making process, but I doubt it will replace it. | |
| Thiel Owners It's quite a place for the audiophiles. | |
| Thiel Owners thielrules,Thanks for the offer. I sure will ask for your help.Could you share your thoughts on the software? Tom will probably be interested in what you think. | |
| Thiel Owners Thiels never fail to reproduce naturallyhuman voice, in particular. I would agree with that. On the other hand, higher order speakers tend to have some extra details or trebles on the voice that makes the voice "clearer" but not naturally. When y... | |
| Thiel Owners The two examples above are not "subtle" :-) | |
| Thiel Owners That's why I think either approach has its merits. To say one is "better" than the other is missing the point. As I also said in my previous posts (many posts ago), high-order speakers such as 24db/slope tend to have more "slam" vs. first order ... | |
| Thiel Owners jon_5912,I'll let Tom comment with regard to your post.Personally, I think there's a market for both: time-phase coherent and non-time-phase coherent. There are plus and minus in either approach. Tom seems to think time-phase coherent is the onl... |
