| The Science of Cables After reading some of the posts in this thread, it's interesting and ironic that the posts from the "subjective" camp seemed to have a better grasp of science whereas the "objective" camp was just content to regurgitate what they "read" and believ... | |
| The Science of Cables There innumerable ways to lumped L, C & R parameters. The signal responds to an infinite series of µL µC & µR. GEOMETRY is every bit as important. "Lumped parameter" is an approximation. The actual (at least as far as one can approxima... | |
| The Science of Cables Most people try to gain greater transparency by upping the intensity of the light ( in cable speak upping high frequencies which has been the standard method used for decades now to try to achieve some modicum of transparency ) we just clean the... | |
| The Science of Cables I quickly went to Iconoclast website to see how much a pair of 8ft speaker cables cost - about 1400 to 2400 depending on the material and configuration. Definitely not cheap! My current cables is Acoustic Zen Hologram II which is $1200 at 8ft. ... | |
| The Science of Cables Has anyone tried Iconoclast cables? How they compared to some high end cables such as SilTech Crystal Absolute Dream that costs about $9K each?I've read the articles from Iconoclast and it's refreshing to see someone who discussed these issues wi... | |
| The Science of Cables lols there are about 15 pages so there is no way I'll read through them all. But anyway, some conclusions are needed.-----------------YES, cables do make a difference and I think we (or most of us) would agree. If you don't agree with this, then... | |
| Do speaker cables need a burn in period? The question to ask (from my college Psychology 101) is can you step into the same river twice?In the same vein, can you listen to music on the same cable twice? | |
| Class A Solid State Sound output stage using exclusively n-channel devices for both the positive and negative signals This topology may not have low enough output impedance vs. push-pull complementary N/P pair. And output impedance is freq. dependent so may be that cou... | |
| Class A Solid State Sound Can we kiss and make up now? lols war is the norm. | |
| Class A Solid State Sound In term of drive, everything else being equal, BJT usually has more output current output so it should be able to drive better vs. FET. Therefore BJT sound tends to have more dynamic compared to FET. With respect to output impedance, I suspect m... | |
| Thiel Owners That is a valid argument, but I found it is consistent in different type of instruments regardless of bass response. But anyway, as I mentioned in my previous post, this topic can bring up different opinions that people will end up having their o... | |
| Thiel Owners With respect to unsound post regarding to baffle size, not to say which one is the most "correct", but there seems to be different design philosophies. Sonus Faber makes a few very wide baffle speakers. Thiel is somewhat in between with the curv... | |
| Thiel Owners Anyway, since this is Thiel thread, I guess I am allowed to be a bit sentimental :-). I found this little excerpt regard to specially to the CS2.7 in which the reviewer says: https://hometheaterhifi.com/reviews/speaker/floor-standing/thiel-cs2-7... | |
| Thiel Owners Any 3.7 owner want to bring your speakers to my room? Interestingly enough, that would be my next speakers but financially it's not possible for the moment. Hopefully some day. Sometimes things are just beyond one's wishes. | |
| Thiel Owners Also as we are on the subject, there is another design philosophy in which people believe that the baffle should be eliminated completely. This philosophy is adopted by Vandersteen. Part of the reason is that Vandersteen believes that the baffle... |
