| Beware of new material claims - the case of graphene Several comments on Graphene. Total Contact uses graphene; however, it has a proprietary other product in it that allows it to be a super conductor per the manufacturer as well as a process which melds the two to work concurrently.In the SR Fuses... | |
| Best Loudspeakers for Rich Timbre? My Legacy Signature IIIs are 4 ohm and 94db efficiency but only dip a little lower. They are very easy to drive. I bought them when I brought along a Sherwood 7100 18 watt receiver. Fantastic bass and dynamic as well. I've driven them with Yam... | |
| Best Loudspeakers for Rich Timbre? While I currently have a dedicated listening room 25X20X12.5 built 25 years ago, I built it wrong with a vaulted ceiling, windows, staggered 6" studs on an 8" plate and dual 5/8" X drywall. Yes, my wife can sleep through 100db sound at night but t... | |
| Do people really just not get it that their items are not selling... At one point about 18 years ago, Grover chose silver which was a mistake except with his equipment at the time. About 13 years ago, I purchased EAR gear and he decided copper was the thing and designed very good cables since then (the EAR gear re... | |
| Do people really just not get it that their items are not selling... auxinput- I’ve been through at least 100+ cables designs in the past 20+ years. Grover experimented with all copper, all silver and various mixes until about 5 years ago when he settled on using both. However, the + and - in ICs and ground with A/... | |
| Do people really just not get it that their items are not selling... He does zero marketing and builds every cable by hand. GroverHuffman.com SOTA cabling for mid-fi prices. The materials cost is reasonable, it's all in the design and two hours labor per cable. He has sold worldwide and includes some highly re... | |
| SAT 30K+$$ TONEARM: W O R T H T O H A V E I T ? My SME IV has cartridge pins connected to Cardas wiring which is connected to a Cardas RCA junction box, eliminating at least the DIN connector and providing for a more flexible choice of phono cables. DIN connectors are tough to solder. I've up... | |
| Perfect Path Technologies: Omega E mat Yes, the total retail cost of the E-Mats and Cabling was under $10K. Much cheaper than buying new speakers. | |
| Can you live with your current speaker until you die? Never say never. I've had my Legacy Focus speakers for 20 years now, always improving with new cables and tweaks. I went through Acoustat Xs, 2&2s and Martin Logan Monolith 3s in the prior 15 years. I do not want to revisit electrostats. My... | |
| Do people really just not get it that their items are not selling... I've sold about a dozen classic tube gear items on Audiogon at my asking prices. Classic tube gear keeps escalating in price like my sales of a McIntosh MX110, Fisher 200, MacIntosh MC30s, Fisher 400/500 receivers, etc. They are now in greater d... | |
| Perfect Path Technologies: Omega E mat The 12 E-Mats combined with my new Pharoah GroverHuffman cables (IC, A/C, speaker cables) are a double or triple improvement in my system making my Legacy Focus speakers sound like $50-60K resolving, dynamic speakers. Amazing. However, I don't t... | |
| SAT 30K+$$ TONEARM: W O R T H T O H A V E I T ? Technically, Thales solves problems of linear trackers and non-linear trackers off-set angles. I don’t know what problems can occur to diminish it’s sonic attributes. Does anyone know of Thales arm shortcomings? | |
| Tube rolling for EAR 912 I have an EAR Acute which I use large O getter late 1950s Amperex. They are superior to many of the more modern tubes I've tried (about 15 pairs). Also, my older EAR 864 line stage sounded dull compared to the Mullard 12AX7 CV4004 and cleartop R... | |
| SAT 30K+$$ TONEARM: W O R T H T O H A V E I T ? My good friend Mr. Record contends that the 3012R is one of the finest tonearms he has ever heard (he hasn't heard the SAT or Thales though). He also says that the common 3009 is not a very good arm for high end use. Another high end tonearm whi... | |
| Best Loudspeakers for Rich Timbre? I agree with helomech. Paper & pulp cones may breakup smoothly relative to rigid/metal cones. I didn't know that paper & pulp cones had a limited bandwith. Many full range and coincident cone speakers use paper & pulp cones. |
