| Audioquest or Nordost for speaker cable Well guys your excellent advises and lots of thinking has convinced me to stay with Nordost. I almost went for Valhalla 2 but held myself back as the price was too rich for my wallet. Then I started look at Tyr 2 but same as before too expensive ... | |
| ABX testing with AQ Dragon power cords You know I’ve read the criticism of ASR and how badly they treat people with different opinions. My goal on posting my experiences here is not to stir up crap and cause trouble. If anything I’m providing a counterpoint. I’m not bashing those that... | |
| Don't put your PC / Laptop on your audio power conditioner Depends on what you consider a "PC"...A gaming PC with a lousy psu, loads of case cans, RTX 4080, etc, may fall in the category you mention. Some undervolted Beelink mini PCs with apu powered by a LPS is less noisy than some "streamers" ("PC" w... | |
| Comparing Rythmik F12 and F12G: Which is Better for Music and Movies? @deep_333 I would like to know your experience regarding the comparison between the Rythmik F12G and F18 subwoofers, particularly in terms of transient response and overall bass fluidity. "Bass fluidity" is a bit of an ambiguous term...What kin... | |
| London Grammar? Modern pop, electronic music or even rap can have fairly difficult tracks that can be used to stress test hifi systems. There are fairly talented artists tucked away inside the "young people" genres. They actually sound good on hifi rigs and don't... | |
| Comparing Rythmik F12 and F12G: Which is Better for Music and Movies? @soix I have had sealed SVS subs in the past. The dsp in SVS used to add a bit of delay (could also say the say about Elac or any sub with built-in dsp). This is a non-issue, of course, for someone who has a processor with the ability to delay the... | |
| Comparing Rythmik F12 and F12G: Which is Better for Music and Movies? Get the music right and the HT will be fine. I’d go with the 12G no doubt. ÷1 @thxbest, I use a combination of two F12Gs and two F18s in one of my rigs. Depending on the content that’s playing, I can switch back and forth or use both. For mus... | |
| Focal v Wilson I suggest that, whatever you end up buying, buy cheap cables first. Really cheap. Like $50 tops. Don't buy expensive cables before you are reasonably happy with the rest of the system. At that point AUDITION any cable you want, so long as you ... | |
| Seeking Opinions on "Vera-Fi Audio LLC" 10" and 12" Subwoofers If a subwoofer can't get below 20hz (sbwoof, sbwoof), it is not a subwoofer, but a lowly woofer (woof, woof). No specs posted, no measurements on website...could imply that it has as much extension as a woofer, not a subwoofer (In other words, th... | |
| Focal v Wilson @audioman58 even if you buy eight to $10,000 speakers that were originally 15 to 20, you have to understand that they are still going to need cables that cost about 15 to 20 grand to make them work right in your entire cable loom. The biggest ... | |
| When Was The Audio Golden Age? Golden age = Now For example, I used to have one of the Wilson Wamms from the 80s. Inflation adjusted price is ~100k. My current Borresen X6 (20k ish....) kills that Wamm’s hiney on all counts....No contest, not even remotely. Heck, a X3 (10k is... | |
| my own experience with Tekton Design The moving mass of a driver is not the only factor that influences the "speed" of the driver. There is also motor (magnet) strength, and it is the mass-to-motor strength relationship that determines the speed of a driver. A high mass cone driven ... | |
| Soundstage and image height, does it exist? You have not heard soundstage height, depth, expansiveness, envelopement, etc until you heard something like a 5.4.4 or higher 360 reality, atmos, etc rig, i.e., a minimum of 5 bed layer speakers, 4 height speakers and subs. There are specific di... | |
| Electric bill any high Is there snythungvi can do or do I just have to pay the Man for this expensive hobby. There is snythungvi you can do indeed. Turn on stuff 15 mins before you start listening to music. Turn it off when you’re done/ don’t leave it running 24/7. ... | |
| my own experience with Tekton Design It was a video in which he explained the development of his patented tweeter array. He said he heard a 440Hz note played by a violin, and then measured the weight of the string the note was played on, which was 1/3 gram. He figured if he used a d... |
