| Does raising speaker cables off the floor really make a big difference? What about wi-fi? Suspend them in the air will probably reduce jitter. Of course there will be people saying jitter in digital don't matter. | |
| Does raising speaker cables off the floor really make a big difference? It's interesting to see prof don't hear difference in cable elevators. First you have to be able to hear difference in cables first :-) It's like saying I finished the race first but I crashed out on lap 8 out of 80. | |
| Thiel Owners Something funny ...I was having a few beers late last night then I found myself listening to a pair of beautiful CS7.2 in a large mansion no less ... then I woke up, no speakers, no mansion, no beef :-) Maybe I should stop working on speakers for... | |
| Why no “Break in” period? Believe it or not, it costs a lot of money to "measure". Some run-of-the-mill PC soundcard is not going to do it. You need at least 100K worth of equipment (and of course knowing what to measure). | |
| Thiel Owners Andy2, glad to see that more people are getting familiar with options to have linear phase. The steepness of the slope had an impact on the pre ringing, as has the frequency of the filter.Although I've always believed in first order filters, I w... | |
| Does raising speaker cables off the floor really make a big difference? Theoretically there should be a difference due to transmission line affect with the floor acting as a dielectric, and if the cables lie on the ground, there is a asymmetric affect - the ground act as a dielectric on the bottom half of the cable, b... | |
| "a stylish and affordable launch into the world of high-performance audio" Ugh. It's a Paradigm.It seems like you're saying Paradigm are all "craps"? Can that be a fair assessment? To label something like that to the entire company? | |
| "a stylish and affordable launch into the world of high-performance audio" I dont see any scanspeak woofers thereAt least what you said is not science fiction :-)I used "ScanSpeak" as a matter of comparison, that is a decent ScanSpeak woofer is already 370 bucks. For example, there are five drivers in that speaker above... | |
| A note from Magnepan about the "30.7 for Condos" tour Buying a pair of 20.7i for demoing purposes is a major investment for a dealer, and to not do so indicates to me a lack of faith in the product. I am sure there may be a way for a dealer and a manufacturer to work together so that the dealer w... | |
| Best N.A. Audio Manufacturers to Work For? I think the problem most high-end audio companies have is in the "customer relation", or to be more specific, it's the connection between the "technology" and the final "end user experience". No matter how fancy the technology, it only matters if... | |
| Pass Labs and Fuses Way back I was very skeptical of power cables. I have not tried fuses myself. I suppose the reason of improvement by fuses more or less the same along the line of power cables. The first time I've ever heard of "fuses", was when reading an arti... | |
| New reviewing home for 2020 Stereo Times First please do not take my post as a criticism. It's just some of my observations in general and not being specific to anyone.I wish that reviews, in general, and not just in audio reviews, that the reviewers are a bit technical. I'll use car r... | |
| Considering the option of "DSP speakers" https://vanatoo.com/shop/speakers/transparent-one-encore/ Does it come with a glass of wine :-)It's hard to imagine how they could manufacture something like that for only $500. Probably done in China with people making about $300 dollar for t... | |
| Thiel Owners they close forever on 12/21 It seems like I've made lots of mistakes using that word "forever". | |
| A note from Magnepan about the "30.7 for Condos" tour Remember when dealers knew more about hi-fi than you did? Are you saying it's not true anymore? |
