| Shunyata King Cobra V1 verses V2 Ok, now about the Silent Source.....? | |
| Shunyata King Cobra V1 verses V2 Tireguy, my stomach does a couple of flips every time I contemplate the cutaway on new power cords :-(Anyhow, somewhat OT but since you've brought up Silent Source, can you please describe the cord : detailed vs smooth, frequency extension, neutra... | |
| Review: Spectral DMC-30SL I couldn't agree more...love the dmc30sl for it's ultra revealing ways, and the overall Spectral/Avalon sound for sheer musicality. | |
| Power cord? Why? A solution to what exactly? Corona, if there is field theory involved in your 'pulse' idea, I certainly hope there is an IEEE-level white paper with theory, modeling and measurements to back it up. Why do I feel the world's next $2500 power cord c... | |
| Power cord? Why? Corona, can you please go into a lot more detail on that last one. What parameters does your group measure, what parameters does it think are relevant, how does it correlate them with sound or with other system parameters, and where does it publis... | |
| speaker break-in, how loud? Oh c'mon. Copper is hardly the only part breaking in with new speakers. Consider the rubber driver surrounds, drivers themselves, and driver - voice coil assembly for starters. There is more to audio than metallurgy. | |
| Damned if I Do and Damed if I Don't Another variation on Eldartford's solution which I've used once and which is now commonly used in home theaters is to build a closet into the wall which can become an electronics cabinet. The back side of it can also be built to allow flow through... | |
| Damned if I Do and Damed if I Don't Wood racks from Zoethecus do pretty well at blending in with more traditional furniture, since they are available in 6 colors. They can be improved sonically by using Neuance replacement shelves, or with other cones/footers. If money isn't a consi... | |
| NEW MUSIC Schubertmaniac, thanks for the Voci II recommendation, I didn't know there was a 2nd volume out! Kim Kashkashian has also done most of the Giya Kancheli series on ECM, along with a Schnittke concerto, all of which I enjoy very much. Manfred Eicher... | |
| NEW MUSIC Agon, thank you for your kind words. I have been learning from this thread too...out hunting for more Schnittke and Segerstam. Exchange of music is one of the best aspects of Audiogon. | |
| Sub In The Fireplace By the way, I should mention that my main speakers at the time were rear-ported, which probably exacerbated the energy distribution into the fireplace behind the speakers. But Vectorman didn't mention what his main speakers are, and IME the speake... | |
| Sub In The Fireplace Sogood, I measured my room response before, during and after treating the fireplace. Placing absorbers or diffusors inside the fireplace cavity, or covering the front with glass doors and partially treating the exterior did not work either. 8' tub... | |
| NEW MUSIC There have been so many style progressions in the 20th century. A few favorites of mine:-Berg String Qt. and Lyric Suite for String Qt. (by the Alban Berg Qt.)-Lutoslawski String Qt. (by the Alban Berg Qt)-for other string quartets contemporary wi... | |
| Sub In The Fireplace I couldn't disagree more. I have a reasonably large masonry fireplace in between 2 main speakers, and the fireplace plus chimney gives a hollow boomy signature to the sound. The only solution was to wall the whole affair off with tube traps, thank... | |
| NEW MUSIC Try buying a copy of the Gramophone Classical Good CD Guide and reading it :-) This is not just like reading the telephone book. Many of Gramophone's editors are musicologists, and the discussions under any given composer's work often describe the... |
