| Any tricks to keep cats away from speaker grills? Sound from the bishop's HT room:GRITCH... GRITCH... GRITCH... (longer pause)... K'CHIC... K'CHIC... KCHIC... WHUMP!!... RANNHHHHHHH... &(*&(#$&%Translation: GRITCH = kitty claws being sharpened on full-length grill cloth of Paradigm St... | |
| Any funny audiofile stories??? "Omigod, is a power supply failing or what?" = cat dozing behind subwoofer. The purr, just like the sub, was corner-loaded. | |
| Tweaks Sean, you are absolutely right on target. We hear differences and we don't know to what they should be attributed but we are confident that they exist. I think that's a given for most of us. It is where we go from there that makes the difference i... | |
| Question for Paradigm Owners, what speaker cable?? I use Monster M2.4s biwire. Another brand audiophiles love to hate. Swopped it back and forth several times with Kimber Bifocal XL and could definitely hear a difference but for watching movies the difference wasn't worth the cost. | |
| Seeking feedback on Swan, Paradigm and Triangle I have Paradigm Reference Studio 100V2s in my HT system and I find them great for that application. They're quite acceptable, too, for casual music listening.Paradigm is one of those brands that audiophiles love to hate. They're built by the thous... | |
| How do Klipschorns compare with modern designs? Gotcha, and thanks. | |
| How do Klipschorns compare with modern designs? This thread really has helped me with my longstanding love-hate relationship with horns. Many of the phenomena I've noted over the years have been discussed, reassuring me that it ain't just my aging ears.I don't think I've ever heard a set of hor... | |
| Fuse or braker for dedicated lines? I have not done direct comparisons between glass-insulator and ceramic-insulator fuses. I have listened extensively to the same system running through fuses and through breakers and have never noted a difference but haven't done ABX comparisons, w... | |
| What is stopping the ultimate? Clueless (who isn't) smacks the nail right on the head. The electrical interaction between the amplifier and the speaker is wayyyy complex and cannot be deduced from reading the spec sheets of both. You have to do it with your ears. That's why amp... | |
| Wiring two post speakers with biwire cable It seems to me that there is every reason that shotgunning the system would result in a different sound, though how that sound would differ might vary considerably from cable to cable. This is because the total capacitance, inductance, and resista... | |
| Vienna Acoustics vs Revel Studios? God bless you both! Two guys who are having fun instead of telling others to shut up. Refreshing! | |
| Fuse or braker for dedicated lines? Gentlemen, gentlemen, let us calm ourselves. CFB and Bob are reading quite a little bit into what I said. It is true that I haven't been here a long time and it is true that I failed to understand that worldcup HAS been here a long time. But you f... | |
| What is stopping the ultimate? Good observations by all. My own listing, in no particular order:SpeakersRecording/mixing techniquesPerformance quality | |
| Fuse or braker for dedicated lines? Audiophiles are funny people, Worldcup, as you will learn in short order if you hang out here very much. I recently had a man tell me with absolute seriousness that when he painted his listening room a different color it changed the sound coming o... | |
| Odd shaped speakers Oh, I dunno. A one-tube active design--I can think of the perfect place for the tube--couple of inductors just below and behind the tube....what's the problem?As I'm down here in Orlando, we can call it the Mouth of the South. Or, instead of Altec... |
