| Finally found a space for the speakers I’ve been storing... and I don’t love them any more mhsu, superb outcome shaping up for you! You were wise to reproach mixing up the gear in order to learn that every system is discrete, and that amps, cables - all of it influences outcome, and speakers are not as determinative to the outcome as on... | |
| 16 years of the same system, time for change? If you want. | |
| Cable Elevators It's time to cut through the crap about whether things work or not. Remove the cable elevators from one side of the system. Listen. If the system does not sound imbalanced, and if the tonality, center image, etc. is correct, then you have proven t... | |
| Finally found a space for the speakers I’ve been storing... and I don’t love them any more Hi, mhsu. You are saying, "The Studio 100 v2’s are driven by an Adcom GFA 7805 and the M106’s are powered by an Anthem MRX720 receiver. It’s not a fair comparison..." Correct; if you have not used the Paradigm speakers with both amplifiers, then y... | |
| Ready, set, comment! Speaker cables don’t make a difference? The story about ARC and their cables used at the factory is a good example of what I have been saying for years, that even industry members/entities are ignorant (or, have a vastly different set of priorities than the audiophile) of the importance... | |
| What do you have on order RIGHT NOW. Thank you for starting this thread! THIS is more of what I would like to see happening on a site such as this. :) Congratulations on your upgrades; I hope they bring you much joy! | |
| Can the need for novelty and change be mitigated by rotation? Congratulations! You have discovered an aspect of audiophilia that is quite appealing to a subset of enthusiasts! These are the listeners who as a pursuit, a goal, seek variety. Some of this is in my character, and I see it expressed in my life al... | |
| The Exogal saga continued.... My brief introduction to the Exogal Pulsar is published at Dagogo.com I have no interest in entering into debate about the unit or the company. | |
| The Intellectual People Podcast - Galen Gareis (Former Belden Wire Designer) audition_audio starts with a wrong assumption in regard to me once again, and develops as string of baseless conjectures. I have for 14 years regularly conducted reviews of cables, and of my own accord, not for fulfillment of requests of the magaz... | |
| Looking for my Final Pair!! Nostalgia is fun, but usually the sound quality is garbage. | |
| I just bought a Steinway which sounds like a banjo. I will help you. What are you trying to accomplish with your system? List your system entirely. Then, describe in detail the problem with the sound. BTW, your perception of the speakers available in the industry I believe is impoverished. The perf... | |
| The Intellectual People Podcast - Galen Gareis (Former Belden Wire Designer) The community will clearly see the extent to which I went in working on the Iconoclast article, and the basis for my comments when the review is published. | |
| My system....what and how will cabling impact? Then, go and read my article published at Dagogo.com entitled, "Audiophile Law: Burn In Test Redux", where I showed through actual comparison that many of the oh, so important tweaks/methods do nothing. Your question:... I have spent around $2,000... | |
| WILSON AUDIO.....BIG NAME, BIG PRICE........ARE THEY THAT GOOD? Absolute conclusions made by hearing different systems in different rooms are marginally helpful. The only way to make such preferential statements with accuracy is to hear the speakers head to head, in the same room, preferably with the same equi... | |
| Schumann Resonator gbanderhoos, +1, my friend! Such things should be obvious, but apparently not. I have perhaps five reasons why such devices are ridiculous for system building, but I only mentioned one of them. The infusion of noise into the room was another. Kudo... |
