| Tekton Double Impacts @vitop "Centers" is that meaning "midrange"?IF the Golden Ear References can't smoke the Tektons, then it sucks to be the proprietors of Golden Ear. 😰 | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? Yep. If you can't hear the difference between "garden variety" and "quality cables" then this audiophile endeavor must be most mundane for you. Hold on naysayers...I didn't say "mega-buck, I have to take out a home equity loan to afford them" ca... | |
| PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium Preamplifier. DESTROYS SPEAKERS!! @almarg I'm well aware of Porsche's present reputation. I'm sure you are having a ball cruising in those cars! Also...congrats. on having an interest in two high end endeavors. | |
| PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium Preamplifier. DESTROYS SPEAKERS!! Thanks Bruce! Now I won't have to feel as bad about the Porsche I'll never be able to buy. | |
| Digital Music sounds too bright? An alternative for damping spinning CD, SACD etc. vibrations is Herbie's Audio Lab's "Super Black Hole CD Mat". It is $ 32.49. The top of the mat is composed of carbon fiber for structural rigidity while the underside that attaches to your disc... | |
| Anyone tried Vandersteen w/ Spectral? +1 gpgr4blu Right u are. My bad for omitting that fact. | |
| Digital Music sounds too bright? @pokey77 Perhaps "lovely" should be an audiophile term. I'm certainly not in this endeavor to hear "ugly"! Oh crap! It's not measurable. Can't use it then? | |
| Anyone tried Vandersteen w/ Spectral? +1 mdp632Years ago, RV teamed up with Steve McCormack at many shows using AQ cabling. For the last several years, Ayre has been an electronic brand of choice with Vandys. Apparently those two brands truly do play well with one another. | |
| Missing shipment OP - I have made purchases or had equipment delivered without insurance and have never had trouble. I would go ahead with the "missing mail" report. I would find out from the seller the size and appearance of the package. I have heard of people... | |
| Why don't amplifier Companies use high end fuses? Entertaining reading guys! Lots of snarky repartee. Both Kosst and Geoff might want to watch "Morning Joe" on MSNBC with the sound off. You've never seen snarky until you've watched Mika Brzezinski's face and the impact of her visual condescens... | |
| Digital Music sounds too bright? Make sure you are using effective vibration absorbing footers under your digital as well as all other gear. Vibrations/resonances are enemies to be defeated! | |
| "Straight" talk When buying my latest iteration of the Dynavector DV 20X2, I had the good fortune of having a true perfectionist mount and tweak the cartridge set-up such that all parameters were maximized. What a difference that makes. Methinks sometimes we em... | |
| Question for cable/wire naysayers..... IF that Audioholics article is the basis upon which naysayers base their denials of sonic differences among cables then they are working with a set of arguments based on false premises. The article wildly overstates what audiophiles find as diffe... | |
| Cable Survey @mmrkaic Is it your assertion that all phenomena are measurable? In the same vane, there are measurements for all phenomena and verbiage to express those measurements? Man you must have a ton of hardware at your disposal and a very expansive v... |
