| Nietzsche and Runaway Audio Consumption It stops being a conversation if one person posts most of the time. With all due respect to the energy and enthusiasm of our monologist, I'm unsubscribing from my own thread. | |
| Power Conditioner Changes Sound? I'm interested in this topic, too. Of course one variable we cannot control for is what your power is compared to anyone else's. Your "plugging into your wall" could be very different from my "plugging into my wall." Comparing within your own envi... | |
| Nietzsche and Runaway Audio Consumption It's even sillier to post about something silly. Enjoy your retirement. | |
| Efficient speaker: Zu, Tekton, Volti, Klipsch, Fleetwood? This recent thread has ferreted out a lot of ideas pertinent to your question: https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/devore-or-audio-note-or-other-sensitive-speakers-wanting-to-listen-in | |
| How do you explain audiophiles to your friends? I explain it this way: Audiophiles love sound enough to slow down, pay attention, learn to make discriminations with ear and word, and then seek to manipulate their experiences to aesthetics ends, often but not exclusively in the service of music... | |
| Devore or Audio Note or other sensitive speakers: wanting to listen in Denver @jjss49 Wise, as usual. Thanks! @drugolf I've mapped it. 8+ hours but a lovely drive. Maybe. @steveyork -- Thanks for the suggestion. That might be fun! Didn't know about Prana. They are close to me. Will try to shoot you a DM in the new year! | |
| Devore or Audio Note or other sensitive speakers: wanting to listen in Denver @firberger Thanks for your weigh-in. Very helpful. I suspect my Salk SS6M's are in the category with the ProAc et al. Need more power. I'm using tubes for my pre and just upped their caps with both Mundorf and VCAP Odam. Daedalus is very nice --... | |
| Power Cables on Subwoofers do Matter @oldhvymec I have two of those Rythmiks. I guess I'm curious what you'd suggest about cords for them. I ruled out a cord for the REL but maybe the Rythmiks are different for some reason? | |
| Devore or Audio Note or other sensitive speakers: wanting to listen in Denver Ok, just summing up what I've learned so far about this topic, there are a few different axes to navigate. Sensitivity — while it's clear that there are speakers around 89-90 db and 100 db, what range between those, say, 93-96db (and considering ... | |
| Devore or Audio Note or other sensitive speakers: wanting to listen in Denver @mrmanisundaram Thank you! I might do that in the next year or so. I see there is an Audio Note dealer in town, too. Flights from Denver run as low as $27 each way. Small price to pay to hear two very top candidate speakers. | |
| Devore or Audio Note or other sensitive speakers: wanting to listen in Denver @charles1dad I'm looking now at those Coherents. I see no reason they might not best Devores for the money. But re-selling is probably harder for all these lesser known brands, eh? https://www.coherentspeakers.net/coherent-audio-gra-12 | |
| Devore or Audio Note or other sensitive speakers: wanting to listen in Denver @keithr Thanks for your suggestions. Nothing I've heard about Zu makes me think they'd be better than some of the others, here. Classical is a *must* for me. My brother in law loves rock and so he's really headed for Zu. I would love to hear Zu b... | |
| Nietzsche and Runaway Audio Consumption @jpwarren58 Tsk tsk! (And I thought "trigger" was just a horse in Hollywood. Do you spike your hamsters' water with caffeine, too? ;-) ) | |
| Devore or Audio Note or other sensitive speakers: wanting to listen in Denver @jjss49 Agree. That's a different path and I need to go down this one, first. But I can keep a list with a second heading that says, "Good Options, Act II." | |
| Nietzsche and Runaway Audio Consumption @tubebuffer Please do not generalize about philosophers, or put them down. All kinds of people become philosophers. We are doing our best to make sense of the world and act kindly toward other people. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. Take some... |
