| Have You Ever Put Your Golden Ears to the Test?? Hi Dan. I was at an A'GoN member's place last weekend doing a cable comparison, and while we didn't do the tests blind we did hear the same differences every time. However, I have a feeling if the comparison was conducted blindfolded it would have... | |
| Which components produce a convincing 3-D image? When I bought my first pair of ProAc monitors I experienced a portion of the 3d phenomena. Then, when I inroduced tubed components such as the Blue Circle BC21 preamp and Kora Hermes DAC into the chain this was extended even further. Virtual Dynam... | |
| Do new tubes undergo break-in like other devices? I've found tubes need break-in but not to the extent of components such as amps, cables and speakers. Tubes go through the same sonic character changes during break-in as other components, but I've found they do so much faster. | |
| Need to change Spade to Banana I had a feeling those were the same ones. Actually, I thought the X-Terminators did a good job, except for when I stripped one of them. When I decided to go to biwire I had AP replace the spades with WBT midline bananas which have their own lockin... | |
| Need to change Spade to Banana I used to have AP9s with spades and was able to use the screw-on Monster X-Terminator banana adapters with success. Here'a a link to them:http://www.audioadvisor.com/store/productdetail.asp?sku=MCXT&product_name=X-Terminators%20Banana%20Adapte... | |
| What to do when seller does not send item paid for The first time I made a purchase from a private party on Audiogon, the kind fellow told me to wait until he supplied me with a tracking number before I send the check. It was a great first expeience, I hope everyone else he's dealt with since appr... | |
| Rules on Review... I'll exchange my views freely in a thread especially if someone has posted a question. I've posted reviews on AudioReview.com in the past, but I've stopped because overall I feel I don't have enough experience with different gear. The only review ... | |
| Free TWEAK that works You used the big bubbles that are about 3/4 to 1" in diameter right? | |
| Free TWEAK that works OK Jadem6, I'm gonna try your tweak this weekend. On the advice of Dekay, last year I bought a Neuance shelf for my transport and have really liked the air and spaciousness it's added along with the improved focus. I'll try anything for that littl... | |
| Does your system sound better in the winter? Hmmm, this is something I haven't noticed because I've never had the same system throughout all four seasons. I have noticed a difference in sound depending on the time, so I guess this wouldn't be unplausible. LOL @ Phild and his fans and AC, I h... | |
| Does anybody read reviews? Definitely agree with the previous posts, but at the same time I'm grateful that AgoN is putting so much effort into this site and our beloved hobby. I think so far, the best reviews have been contained in the forum discussions. | |
| What are your thoughts on Dh Labs T14 speaker cab I've used single runs and biwired runs in the past. On certain passages of music I thought the T14 portrayed some really nice musical cues, but I could never find a combination where they worked for me.I think a lot of this had to do with my assoc... | |
| Babyproofing Stand-mounted speakers I don't have any kids, but I do have a fat ass that smacks my stand mounted speakers now and then. Kinda like Godzilla wackin' a building with his/her tail and the building don't topple over. My stands are completely filled with steel shot and wei... | |
| Another dumb question I think in many cases the input sensitivity of the amp needs to be almost 100 times that of the output sensitivity of the preamp for a good match. This varies however depending on the particular components and/or manufacturers being matched up. I'... | |
| Smallest Bookshelf Speaker Worth Listening To I own both the ProAc Tablette 50 Signatures and Response 1SCs and think they're magnificent. Much more refined and bigger sound than I thought possible from such little boxes. I usually run them with a sub, but often turn it off to enjoy the purit... |
