Deklay, this is fascinating, because after trying another subwoofer in my system the other day, my lady in question found, that finally the music had the right underpinnings, whereas I found the bass still illadjusted and simply too much. Coincide... 
Speaker wire is it science or psychology
Red, I've been following the above arguments for quite a while now and I am clearly on your side of the fence. In reading the above threads I began to wonder, if any member of the "honorable opposition" ever went to live concerts REGULARLY. But th...

Very nice post, Adamanteus and I've rated it accordingly. I haven't got your training and I won't start a war either, but in the face of this mighty opposition, as you so rightly point out, was it really just our cortex, in interpreting signals th...

Music for "Tough Times"
Some very moving posts up there, for me, a newcomer, many of the names slowly get a human face. I'll give you something classical: Schubert's Quintet in C minor, he wrote it in the month of his early and untimely death and to me its all about desp... 
threshold stasis 2 information needed
I still own a Threshold Stasis 2, stemming from the time, before Threshold was taken over by some Japanese conglomerate. If I remember correctly, the young Nelson Pass was the designer and owner of Threshold then. Unfortunatedly I don't have the l... 
Blind Listening Evaluation
I'd like to refer you to the thread "Blind Listening Tests ???" is is not only hilariously funny in part,it will also make your hair stand on end and probably aptly answer your question. I am sure, you will not be disappointed.
