| High Powered Holographic Amplifiers Everyone knows it's not the amp, but the source that lacks holography. ;) | |
| A challenge to the "measurement" camp Waste of life to argue with skeptics. Invite them to try, and if they are too jaded, so be it. Half the audiophile population has to have mediocre systems anyway, and they are the ones who lead the way to it. | |
| Seeking advice on Speakers that create an intimate 2 channel listening experience aj523, you’re welcome. It’s fun to help earnest persons who are itching to learn. Most people here are kind and have experiences to share. There are a LOT of variables, as many are pointing out, including the important amp/speaker pairing. Do rese... | |
| Which is more important in transmitting the sound, the information... It is not that the question is foolish, but it does demonstrate ignorance. The answer is more complicated than anyone who has responded in the thread (aside from myself) understands. | |
| Seeking advice on Speakers that create an intimate 2 channel listening experience Magnepan is not ESL. Magnetic planar is the tech, not Electrostatic. I have reviewed and owned both. Both are panels or dipole designs (Some others are hybrid). The reference in historical section talks about ESL or ribbon speakers. Most of Magnep... | |
| Which is more important in transmitting the sound, the information... The one closer to the source, except when it isn't. | |
| Seeking advice on Speakers that create an intimate 2 channel listening experience As the OP can see, answers will vary. I submit my reviews of speakers at Dagogo.com, as a plethora of speakers can sound intimate, warm, precise. Panel, dynamic, dynamic hybrid, horn hybrid, full range, quasi-line source. Yup, all of 'em. Select y... | |
| good discussion on power cords Misnomer regarding the religious life being solitary. In Christianity it is most definitely NOT solitary, except for those prevented from fellowship or the uncommitted. As inaccurate as saying race car drivers lead essentially a solitary life. | |
| Pure Audio Project open baffle speakers dhl93449, you know precisely what you are after. You are right about this, "The C1 and the Leonides are night and day different in how they XO the drivers," as I have heard the difference and it is significant. Maybe discuss with Pass Labs whether... | |
| good discussion on power cords My reply from fuzztone seems to indicate the concern is not so much the motors, but the potentiality for intrusion onto the audio signal. As usual, seek your answers prior to taking such steps. | |
| Recommendations for fast sounding cables In handling dozens of sets and hundreds of individual cables over the years, I do not come to the conclusion that cables can make a system sound "faster," but that this is predominantly a function of the combination of components and speakers. Cab... | |
| good discussion on power cords I have been in contact with fuzztone in regard to particulars of the recommendation to use silver grease, but I thought the conversation may be important/helpful to everyone here. He warned me against using it on a breaker where a motor will be us... | |
| My findings on Magico V2.....what now? NEVER buy based on anticipated improvements with "burn in". If unmoved at a demo, you buy the speaker at your risk of long term dissatisfaction. Applies to any speaker. | |
| good discussion on power cords fuzztone, color me interested in your comment, given it's authentic and not a joke. I did look up silver grease, and it's a real product, so perhaps you are serious? I am having a 200 amp Square D panel being put in. What are you referring to, a 2... | |
| Singular Amplification Experience; Review Now Published Part 2 now published. In this segment it will be revealed how dominant an amplifier's presence is in a system. When an amp is so extreme, new options for system building become available - and the results can be superior to traditional setups. |
