| Why is Double Blind Testing Controversial? Because when you DBT, some people will hear differences where none exist and some will not hear differences when they do exist. This makes any so-called scientific study invalid since it cannot show which is right - those wo say that there are no ... | |
| Room acoustics question... It depends on a couple of things. First, how far down is the ceiling suspended? If it's less than 16-inches, then any reflected sound in the cavity above is amplified which will be a problem. Second, what are the tiles made of? If they are thin ch... | |
| A question about cable break-in As long as the thing you're plugging into has an input resistance, it will conduct current through the cable whether it's on or off.So, the IC's will conduct. The speaker cables won't since they're disconnected from a load resistance and have an i... | |
| What determines speaker distance? All formulas aside, where the center image starts to lose focus is the maximum spacing distance for YOUR listening space and position therein. | |
| DIY and fiberglass and safety It took a hundred years before the effects of asbestos came to light. So if you get a painful cough around Christmas 2102, you'll know what caused it. | |
| How do you determine your weakest link? Warren, I hate to break it you but when you replaced your Thiels you put a painkiller on a fracture - what your Thiels were telling you with their "harshness" was that something somewhere in your system wasn't pulling its weight. The Thiels are no... | |
| Sonic Differences With 45 SE assistance needed Twl, do you have any experience with the RCA Cunningham single-plate 2A3? Just curious to see how they compare with the 45. I find the RCA single-plate to be the best amplication device I've heard - the only thing that makes CD's sound, well, real... | |
| What will 6 feet do, now? Power cords do make a difference, and I'm sure everyone will agree. However, the why and how is up in the air. I believe that the perfomance changes (changes, not necessarily improvements) are due to EMI/RFI shielding. You can have the most sophis... | |
| What would a 2a3 based amp. bring to the table? Twl pretty much covered it...from my experience, I purchased a pair of 2A3 monoblocks from Wright-Sound last year for use with my DIY speaker project. I hooked these guys up to my Thiel 3.6 speakers (86 db effieciency) expecting to hear...well I d... | |
| What will I Have?? You would have two capacitors in series. The resulting capacitance, from high school physics, is 13MF. I assume you are doing this to increase the voltage rating of the capacitors by bridging them. As a rule of thumb, the maximum voltage to apply ... | |
| Classical music for Rockers Listen to Wagners' "Siegfried's Journey" from Gotterdammerung and The Who's Quadrophenia. Notice anything? | |
| Thiel or Sonus Faber??...Need help please I have Thiels and a CAT hooked up. But I listen mostly to classical and jazz. I have auditioned the Electa's, Electa Amtors and Extremas. The Extremas are far and away the best of this bunch - but oh that price tag. The SF are definetly in a class... | |
| interconnect vs speaker cable Look at it this way:1. Everything between source and speaker distorts the signal in some way.2. No cable can return a distortion to its original state.3. The closest thing to your source is the first to distort.Since the speaker cable cannot corre... | |
| what the best phono preamp used with CAT SL1 Why not just activate the phono stage? | |
| why do power cords make a difference with transpor A transport DOES NOT send out "1's and 0's"! It sends out an analog AC signal just like a phono pre-amp, tape deck, amp, DAC, etc. This analog signal is a representation of the digital stream of "1's and 0's". The way the signal is handled with th... |
