| Science that explains why we hear differences in cables? Your 40 years of "selling" your cables dont beat acoustic, psycho-acoustic and all speakers designers experience in the world...I think he is claiming that his 40 years is in-line with the psycho-acoustic part. Which makes sense if he was selling ... | |
| Science that explains why we hear differences in cables? Good catch on the speed… it is the speed of electricity, like you said, and not the speed of the electrons.I get the impedance mismatch on on say a 50 ohm connection, but what is the mismatch on a near zero ohm cable versus a speaker input to the ... | |
| Science that explains why we hear differences in cables? Also interesting is that what is seen on the scope matches what is heard from different cables. Impedance mismatches do seem to create ringing distortion. This colors instrumental tones and textures, alters characteristic instrumental timbre, and ... | |
| Your experience and thoughts on Thiel speakers? I am not sure what ^that^ all means… but Thiel are one of the handful of speakers which have the correct step function response. | |
| Need advice/opinion in choosing Vandy 2ci or Thiel 1.5 @holmz — STOP, just stop with the confirmation bias crap. You’ve no idea what “confirmation bias” is so don’t bring it here. And yeah, I took decision making theory at Cornell from a well-respected professor in the field, so just STOP trying to fl... | |
| My Experience With Tekton @three_easy_paymentsWe should really be asking why this brand evokes such a response.Ok what do you think?I looked at the first review that popped up: http://www.enjoythemusic.com/magazine/equipment/0121/Tekton_Moab_Floorstanding_Speakers_Review.h... | |
| New speaker cables recommendations sought Well, I make cables all the time. All manner of cables. Some recipes sound warmer. Some sound more detailed. Some darker and some more brilliant. I can change the tone, openness, resolution and warmth by conductor material, connector brand, dielec... | |
| Best Speaker Choice for my very "non-audio-friendly" Living Room Without some measurements like room response, I can mostly assume (rightly or wrongly) that some room correction may be more important that the speakers at first? Once the room is treated and corrected then better speakers could produce a better s... | |
| High quality, passive, balanced, low pass crossover? If you look at my system page you will see Aerial LR5s as main speakers, plus two Aerial SW12 subs. The LR5s use two 9-inch LF drivers in a sealed box. Acoustic suspension (i.e., sealed box) speakers can provide better controlled bass response w... | |
| My Experience With Tekton @roxy54 when one realises that all those elements in the lanthanides and actinides rows of the periodic table, come from neutron star mergers… it is pretty impressive stuff.Maybe even more impressive than the speakers? | |
| High quality, passive, balanced, low pass crossover? A first order crossover is pretty easy to make.The 100 Hz of the M7-HP is probably the 3dB point, and their speakers are usually 1 order crossovers. So they are 6dB/octave.Another option would be something like a MiniDSP and do the filtering digit... | |
| My Experience With Tekton Yeah correct Watson… But Neodymium is also an Lanthanide element… ;)So we switch the word to fit the context Holmz | |
| My Experience With Tekton Neodymium is one word.And… “Elemental, my dear Watson.” | |
| Power Cord Shielding It’s not the only thing. The late Charles Hanson once said that the power amplifier is basically a modulator of the power supply. In that sense, the power cable is like a speaker cable in term of how current is carried from the source to the speak... | |
| 120hz hum coming from all-tube system - but only at high volumes The power supply using rectifies and the 60 Hz gets doubled to 120 Hz… Hence I would be looking at the power supply side of things.It could be a capacitor on the power supply side is bad, but that is mostly a guess. |
