| Another soundstage question I can certainly understand that certain very tall speakers with high mounted tweeters might have to be tilted downward. But this certainly would not be the general rule for most speakers. As I oft remark the speaker set up track on the XLO Test CD... | |
| Directionality of wire blindjim wrote,"sorry. I was just informed about this.It is sheer folly to argue or debate something one can easily prove or disprove using their own equipment. In the case of directionality of wires, just listen to what is goong on now. Take note... | |
| Dealers hijacking the discussions Huh? What? Why would I comment on this thread? I am not a dealer, nor do I have a problem with dealers posting here, nor do I have a problem with manufacturers - like myself - posting on the forum. Carry on, smoke if ya got em. | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Pink Floyd's The Final Cut on CD. The 1997 Doug Sax remaster. Whoa! | |

| Why do turntables sound different? I'll take the new Continuum Obsidian, you know, the one with the mag lev isolated platter with huge, and I mean huge bearing. Also vibration isolation system for the tonearm. You guys can fight over the rest of them. And I would definitely use the... | |
| Isolation feet/cones for PS Audio NuWave DSD DAC Believe it or not the paper label should be removed from any and all DH Cones as it degrades the sound a smidgen. It has to do with the whole idea that the interface needs to be very hard. The only exception I can think of are DH Squares, which ar... | |
| Another soundstage question I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again - soundstage height is just another dimension of the spherical 3 dimensional soundstage. The dimensions of that soundstage in a particular system is a function of how much INFORMATION that system can extra... | |
| Isolation feet/cones for PS Audio NuWave DSD DAC The thing about two points down and one point up is way out of date. All points should be down. All Points up or any with points up hurts the sound relative to all points down. The cones act like quasi mechanical diodes. If the Amp is heavy you mi... | |
| Has anyone made the jump to $uper High end and were disappointed? I distinctly recall walking with John Curl to the Talon room circa 2000. If memory serves and I think it does Diana Krall was playing over the system. Ooops, did I drop a name? 🙄 Now ya got me doin' it. | |
| Has anyone made the jump to $uper High end and were disappointed? Note to self: I must strive to achieve a higher rate of name dropping in the future. 😬 | |
| Stillpoints Ultra 5 Geez, take a Valium, Robert. NASA grade simply means the ceramic material is much harder even than ordinary ceramic material. The hardness of the DH Cones is actually almost as hard as diamond on the Moh scale of hardness. And I'm sure I don't hav... | |
| Support table or shelf for turntable I agree about the Sorbothane. Even though it seems like SUCH a good idea. Even though it appears to be the right material for audio applications it just doesn’t sound good. At least I never found a place it sounded good. I found plenty of places i... | |
| Sonic Tonic fom the Tweek Geek rja wrote,"geoff, Do own copyright or registered trademark? If so you could sue, how fun is that?"What? Whoa! Wait a second here! I’m not addressing the product name coincidence here. What I’m saying is - based on what has been described - the Twe... | |
| Has anyone made the jump to $uper High end and were disappointed? OK, time for me to fess up. Someone asked a little while ago if anyone went the opposite direction from upgrading to a super high end system. Guilty as charged. Two years ago I had a rather good but not terribly expensive headphone system with pur... |
