| Isolation Cones vs Cheap Cables millercarbon would throw all his BDR cones in the trash if he ever heard DH Cones which are about ten times harder than carbon fiber and five times better. Millercarbon is an excellent example of what happens when you get carried away with somethi... | |
| Isolation Cones vs Cheap Cables Too bad but even with four cones many speakers are just too tall and top-heavy to be safe. A Maple board with dimensions around 2x2 feet under the speaker, then the cones under the board, should be more stable. Nevertheless...... | |
| Moving cables around killed dynamics for days anyone else experience this? Take your pick, Benito or Adolph. 🤗 | |
| New Santana Album "Africa Speaks" onhwy61In the rock/pop world if you don’t use large amounts of compression across the entire mix, your song will sound weak and wimpy when it follows a track that is heavily compressed. The compressed track will sound louder, punchier and more ali... | |
| Audio Furniture has its own sound! The resonant frequencies Fr of the platter, tonearm and cartridge are all circa 8-12 Hz, so they get excited by, you guessed it! - very low frequency seismic type vibration coming up from the floor that interfere with the audio signal. So, you nee... | |
| Synergistic Research Cable Risers? Dylan doesn’t use cable risers but he does use lifts in his shoes. | |
| Audio Furniture has its own sound! Speaking of furniture quite a bit of Pop! in the sound can be obtained by sticking cones under heavy furniture in the room. Yes, I know what you’re thinking: are you out of mind? | |
| Future of cables! OK, getting back on topic for just a sec, here’s a crazy little trick you can try at home. The sound can be improved without changing cables .....and it’s free. 🤗 🔙 mahgister please note! Tie a square knot in any cable OR tie two adjacent cables t... | |
| Future of cables! You did not answer my pop quiz. | |
| Future of cables! You’re getting warmer. All pyroelectric crystals are also piezoelectric, but not all crystals that are piezoelectric are pyroelectric. The two effects are independent, I.e., they’re not (rpt not) linked. But since you reported good results with Hi... | |
| Future of cables! You need to expand your Google search, grasshopper. Tourmaline is pyroelectric.“The first reference to the pyroelectric effect is found in writings by Theophrastus(c. 314 BC), who noted that lyngourion, tourmaline, could attract sawdust or bits of... | |
| Selling on Audiogon Ordinarily I can sell iceboxes to Eskimos but that USAudiomart is a tough nut to crack. It must be a subset of the audiophile population. 😬 | |
| Future of cables! Tourmaline is a negative ion generator among other things. I sell a tourmaline gun, if you can believe it. 🤗 I’ll leave it to the student to fill in the blanks. | |
| Future of cables! One thing we don’t know is what exactly about the audio signal is being affected by RF and vibration. And by directionality as long as we’re on the subject. Is it the electromagnetic wave? The current? The voltage? The Poynting vectors? It’s SO ex... | |
| Future of cables! That’s my charm, no? |
