| Do distortion 's affect enjoyment of speaker? It depends.All speakers produce distortion.But it varies what people are sensitive to, and indeed there are some studies that show certain distortions are preferred.ThanksBill | |
| Magico S5 vs Tannoy Westminster Royal SE 'If Bill feels strongly about Lenehan audio speakers and wants to promote them, why is that seen as a problem?'In the past I used to do that, but am much more circumspect these days because I now understand its more complex than what I like, but a... | |
| Magico S5 vs Tannoy Westminster Royal SE 'Bill, to be fair I haven't heard your speakers & so I don't know why you have such big wraps on them, so i'll make you a deal.'You are missing the point of my post. I like my speakers, but as I carefully point out others not so much. That's w... | |
| Magico S5 vs Tannoy Westminster Royal SE 'If you do, you then must agree with me that what will determine how real and enjoyable our experience will be is how accurate the system that reproduce it.'Your logic is flawed and erroneous. The purpose of Hi Fi is to provide enjoyment to the ... | |
| Magico S5 vs Tannoy Westminster Royal SE 'inevitably return to how Lenehan speakers are equal to, if not the best sounding speakers in the world, and that tubes and diy gear beats $30 and $40k Vitus, Dartzeel etc, I lose interest and walk away.'Oh dear. How you get that from what I wrote... | |
| Magico S5 vs Tannoy Westminster Royal SE Melbguy - I ask you to look at what I said.I acknowledged even for products I am positive towards some don't like them, and was very concerned some were not saying what they thought because they were intimidated by people like me.These days I try ... | |
| Magico S5 vs Tannoy Westminster Royal SE 'It means Jack Shite because you have no empirical data to support why you prefer it. Why would anyone prefer a higher THD, trainwrack frq and power response, lack of extension, bloated bass loudspeakers to one that is the exact opposite?It will b... | |
| Magico S5 vs Tannoy Westminster Royal SE I contributed earlier in the thread, but am scratching my head about some of the latest comments.Look, these are two entirely different speakers. I prefer the Tannoy - but that means Jack Shite.They are both quite expensive and if spending that am... | |
| Is computer audio a bust? The improved SQ has to do with reduced jitter which is easier to accomplish without the moving parts of a mechanical transport being involved.In my experience very few transports match the best computer audio such as the Off-Ramp. In fact I know o... | |
| Is computer audio a bust? With one exception I have not heard a transport that bests my Off-Ramp. That one exception however is totally wild. A highly modified (packed with uber expensive high end stuff like Duelund Capacitors and heavily modified Adcom clocks) Wadia.It wa... | |
| Bybee Internal Speaker Bullets - user feedback? Geoffkait wrote 'I have a sneaking suspicion that what we have here is someone suffering from the reverse expectation bias, when you thunk a tweak is a fraud or won't work, you can't hear it cause you psyched yourself out.' That's a possibility. A... | |
| Bybee Internal Speaker Bullets - user feedback? Bojack, have you ever heard them? I have and the improvement they made was undeniable. Out here in Australia we had a group of people that got together to check them out, buying some and passing them around. The results were uneven - one person fi... | |
| MSB Analog DAC experience I personally am not a fan of the MSB DAC, but that really isn't germane to the volume control issue. In my, I would have to say fairly extensive experience, except for very expensive pre's like the AR Ref, you are better off direct connecting and ... | |
| Top brand speakers Never got the speakers. Have heard nothing for nearly a year. As you can imagine I am not feeling terribly positive towards the maker. I wouldn't advise anyone to have anything to do with Bob Smith until he has a lot better record than this. | |
| Top brand speakers Addressing the original questionIts a very difficult question to answer. First there are many speakers out there made by small manufacturers, you are unlikely ever to hear, that, to my ears anyway, simply blow away commercial stuff.There is a guy ... |
