| Why Do So Many Audiophiles Reject Blind Testing Of Audio Components? Well how can you fault a business for trying to manufacture a market? And it is different in that you can buy a product and decide for yourself, using whatever methods you choose, if the item is worth the asking. A tangiable product which you can ... | |
| What do we hear when we change the direction of a wire? So dletch2,Which of the Ace Hardware ground fault interrupters do you recommend? The Cliff Clavin of bias methodology. As my grandad used to say: "bias smias". | |
| Why Do So Many Audiophiles Reject Blind Testing Of Audio Components? Setting up a proper blind test is very difficult and must address several issues while other issues with the test cant be controlled. You must guarantee the precise volume and you must have the ability to switch very quickly (seconds). One of my f... | |
| Speakers The single most critical component Yup DSP is not the answer for any but the lazy or misinformed. Having said this DSP is getting better and may at some time in the future be ready for prime time. All DSP is not created equal as well. Sorry but how many of these studios used JBL sp... | |
| Wilson Audio Specialties Chronosonic XVX loudspeaker!! only $300,000.oo I agree with daveyf. Most of the exotic material tweeters I have heard were less than impressive. When Wilson changed from the awful tweeter they used for years I thought they sounded much better. Not only are few exotics to my taste but what you ... | |
| Wilson Audio Specialties Chronosonic XVX loudspeaker!! only $300,000.oo perki,It would make these people feel better if the rich gave everything away to them. Because, of course, they deserve it. | |
| Wilson Audio Specialties Chronosonic XVX loudspeaker!! only $300,000.oo Doug I will read your upcoming review, but I meet most of your advice, based on past experience, with more than the typical amount of skepticism. I will add that a single amp does not a species make. I suspect it will be a Class D type design and ... | |
| Wilson Audio Specialties Chronosonic XVX loudspeaker!! only $300,000.oo Yes I have a pair of Quad 63s and only drive it with tubes. But, I have heard, some feedback helps in this process. Correct me if I am wrong, but I think that it is the swing on the Quads that is the problem. I think that the reason for the impeda... | |
| Wilson Audio Specialties Chronosonic XVX loudspeaker!! only $300,000.oo Doug, perhaps you need to talk with both amp and speaker designers before making a ridiculous statement as you did above about speaker impedance. Remember that you are attempting to attract people to your writing and the best way to do this would ... | |
| Wilson Audio Specialties Chronosonic XVX loudspeaker!! only $300,000.oo I like the looks of the speaker. But at this price I would think you could find a speaker which would work properly with more than a few amps. You cant escape the fact that low impedance speakers make amps work too hard. | |
| Wilson Audio Specialties Chronosonic XVX loudspeaker!! only $300,000.oo Cant remember which show it was, but I heard a Wilson speaker with LAMM. It was actually very good until someone asked that they turn up the volume and then not so much. Wilson with S.S., to date, has never worked for me. | |
| Speakers The single most critical component I dont think it is the listings that are "loaded". | |
| Wilson Audio Specialties Chronosonic XVX loudspeaker!! only $300,000.oo But a SOTA speaker would not have such a terrible impedance. Obviously the designer was married to a group of drivers and a crossover design which they put together and lived with the resultant impedance. Bad engineering! | |
| Wilson Audio Specialties Chronosonic XVX loudspeaker!! only $300,000.oo So we now have a speaker requiring a certain amp based on this amps ability to drive difficult loads instead of sonics? If this isnt enough to get buyers to avoid Wilson I dont know what could. Certainly this model at the very least. | |
| The Intellectual People Podcast - Galen Gareis (Former Belden Wire Designer) Which manufacturer, I wonder, would not suggest using all of their components (or at least all they produce) in a single system? |
