| WILSON AUDIO.....BIG NAME, BIG PRICE........ARE THEY THAT GOOD? Seeking and making recommendations on speakers out of context (system discussion) is not productive. I guess he has not heard a good metal dome tweeter, then, or at least set up in a beautiful system. I am reviewing now a dynamic speaker with a me... | |
| For Your Edification and Enjoyment re "Burn In", etc. bluemoodriver, while not an authority, I do not believe the presumption that flooding a room with two channels with opposing polarity will result in cancellation. Audiophiles have many times mistakenly played speakers that have one channel out of ... | |
| The Wilt Chamberlain of Audio Gear It's great that you are comfortable with your impulse to try new systems! Often this is presented as some kind of issue, a problem. Not at all! I have said that it's not like these are people with feelings that we are dismissing; they are electron... | |
| For Your Edification and Enjoyment re "Burn In", etc. This comment. "I should not have gone back to your original article. Really a Peachtree component," and the repeated appeal to analog, confirms what I suspected initially. I am finished with this discussion. | |
| WILSON AUDIO.....BIG NAME, BIG PRICE........ARE THEY THAT GOOD? Roll the dice, vegas. Then tell us whether it's something to shout about. :) | |
| For Your Edification and Enjoyment re "Burn In", etc. mijostyn, ssjj49 and russ69 all make some pertinent, salient points. Thank you. I appreciate such contributions, even when they do not fully agree with me. | |
| For Your Edification and Enjoyment re "Burn In", etc. oldhvymec, have you read the articles? If not, as your posts seem to indicate, I am finished discussing with you. This is not a thread on ABX; that was a directed response to cynicism about my methods and reliability. Thank you! :) | |
| For Your Edification and Enjoyment re "Burn In", etc. I have made no reference to time frame; the hundreds of hours are over the course of the 14 years of reviewing. Obviously, when a person waits for "settling", which of course, has not been demonstrated, but has been shown not to occur via my infor... | |
| For Your Edification and Enjoyment re "Burn In", etc. Caps and tubes are covered in component assessment between the two articles. Evidently you did not read the first article. I have a digital source, so someone else, maybe you, can test cartridges. Have fun with that one.. Speakers I have not com... | |
| For Your Edification and Enjoyment re "Burn In", etc. I have sent a review request to audioexcellence in AZ, laying out clearly my intent to test the cooker in regards to cooked vs. uncooked cables in direct listening comparison. I shared the link to my article, as I wish to respect the company and n... | |
| For Your Edification and Enjoyment re "Burn In", etc. A while back, when I last visited the topic of burn in of cables, I contacted the company that makes the Audio Dharma cable cooker and requested a demo. I tried to get a reply several times, and never heard back from the company. Perhaps the comp... | |
| For Your Edification and Enjoyment re "Burn In", etc. mijostyn, thank you for posting our thoughts. I suggest that what the supporters of tweaks/methods I compared preset anecdotal evidence and opinion. I did informal testing, which is entirely different. I agree that if conducted in the industry, it... | |
| For Your Edification and Enjoyment re "Burn In", etc. Clearly, the article shows that I am not simply dismissing opinions, even going to the point of saying sincerely that if the results contradicted those of the first test, I would have to reevaluate. Is that dismissing opinions? I am respecting the... | |
| For Your Edification and Enjoyment re "Burn In", etc. audition_audio, I did not seek reviewing, and I am not paid to write/review, so you are off the mark with your assertion. Perhaps you would like to spend 1,000+ hours doing the work associated with reviewing unpaid! I spent thousands of my money a... | |
| For Your Edification and Enjoyment re "Burn In", etc. The phenomenon of thinking one hears change to a system over time is universal, and I experience it, too. I happened to question whether it was in fact equipment changing. I conducted informal testing and learned that it is not the equipment chang... |
