| Higher sensitivity - more dynamic sound? Sorry, that was a bit snarky and defiantly not a fair comparison of some of the very nice and efficient speakers of today and even some vintage. Back in the early 80s, I much enjoyed my Vandersteen, 2Cs but by mid 80s, while looking for something... | |
| Higher sensitivity - more dynamic sound? Last word in efficient or not, I prefer the big open and natural sound of electrostatics and planers over boxes, hands down, but that’s just my personal preference. My favorites over the past many years was a pair of (not so efficient) Apogee Due... | |
| Higher sensitivity - more dynamic sound? While I much enjoy the wisdom, experience and informative posts of Audio Kinesis, Atmosphere and others, the debate of which is best between which combination - efficient speakers paired with a low powered tube amp vs low efficiency speakers paire... | |
| What is the best 2 channel listening chair? My favorite listening chair is a three cushion Flex Steel sofa. Just the right amount of comfort - not too firm and not too soft. The back hits just above the top of my shoulders. With a padded ottoman, the center cushion makes a comfy place to li... | |
| Is this a scam? My policy is to never do a friends and family PayPal transaction with anyone I don’t personally know and when using PayPal will ship only to a PayPal verified address. Best advise is do nothing. If a stolen card, the transaction will be reversed ... | |
| Top 10 vintage cassette decks Loved my Nak. ZX9. It worked and performed without flaw and sounded incredible. I also had a Tanberg 3014. It sounded great but had problems with it eating tapes, even after sending it in to get repaired twice.......Jim | |
| Cable curmudgeon There is a reason the OP likes the bell wire: Single strand copper conductors in a. thin sleeve - usually PVC, but can sometimes be found with the much preferred polyethylene sleeve. It’s cheep and in short runs, does a great job at transmitting a... | |
| Cable curmudgeon @erictal4075 Looking forward to it :-) | |
| Cable curmudgeon @newbee In my younger days, I spent many of long nights of practice and most weekends on stage doing gigs with our local rock band to earn extra money. We set up and mixed all our own equipment and at the end of a three hour show we had to tear ... | |
| Cable curmudgeon @thyname This is funny and ironic. Apologizing to the OP? 😂😂 Never occurred to you that the OP is the issue here, and the subsequent follow through. Disgusting 🤮 Wow, judging from this post and many of your others, here as of late, I'm starting ... | |
| Cable curmudgeon @twoleftears So would a whole bunch of bibs and bobs be a month of sundries? Professionally or subjectively speaking? | |
| Cable curmudgeon @terry9 +++ It seems that, on this forum, those who have an opinion based on their experience as a musician, recording engineer, equipment technician or otherwise professionally involved in music or it’s production, receive the most amount of ire... | |
| “House” Character of Popular $20-$30k Speakers @nyev my main issue with panels is that they ONLY sound good (and really good) in the sweet spot. Not at all what I've found. In fact, I find my Maggies, after detail to placement and set up, to image off axis better than any box speaker I've hea... | |
| The Law of Accelerating Returns @ghdprenticeThe incredible positive reinforcement I have received by attention to detail and paying attention to what stuff sounds like has been so rewarding it is amazing. I can agree. I greatly enjoy exploring and auditioning fine audio gear, ... | |
| The Law of Accelerating Returns I Can't quite determine if OCD is a pre-requisite to becoming an Audiophile or is an affliction brought on by being one. Not that I don't believe in matching components and speakers to work together; not that I don't believe in proper set up of r... |
