| Which 'Shipping carrier provides the best overall Blindjim, a) the damage required that I replace the cd player transport, so it was not inexpensive and I thank Steve and GNSC for helping me, b) FedEx replied with a cursory form letter saying they would not pay, because there was no evidence it w... | |
| Which 'Shipping carrier provides the best overall I've found Nsgarch above to be right on the money.UPS Stores: UPS Stores charge a higher rate for shipping, especially insurance for high end items, compared to UPS online.Packing: Heavy and expensive items, consider packing in two boxes with abou... | |
| acoustic system resonators Paul, I agree with everything you said.Perhaps I was unclear. My suggestion was not so much intended to ask whether you hear a difference or not, but was intended to discern whether you actually prefer the resonators or not, making some less than ... | |
| Sonus Faber Amati Homage vs Thiel 7.2 Positioning, room treatments and other tweaks are not going to get you to what you have asked for. Why not just borrow a good tube amp, try it and report back? At least you would know whether you are giving up the type of sound you may be asking f... | |
| acoustic system resonators This is not that hard to test. Blindfold yourself. Drag a willing or unwilling participant into the experiment. While listening, have them walk the resonators in and out of the room - and this is important - on a random basis. See if you can choos... | |
| acoustic system resonators Has anybody measured the output of a whole system with and without these things and reported the difference? It seems if its audible it should be measurable. | |
| Sonus Faber Amati Homage vs Thiel 7.2 Puunda,I've heard the Amatis many times and I own the Guarneris. I believe FrankC is right on the money. Sonus Fabers are capable of wonderful midrange. IMHO, borrow a really good tube preamp and amp and perhaps a different source and report back.... | |
| Break in period Has anybody measured new components with, say a spectrum analyzer or similar device(s), and measured it again after break-in and published the results? If the results are audible, shouldn't they also be measurable (all other things being equal - e... | |
| Transparency: What speakers have it in spades? Hi, if by "transparency" you mean each instruments fundamental tone and its harmonics are reasonably full; inner detail is available; and transients are reasonably fast, then I would take a look at: sonus faber, living voice, magnepan, legend von ... | |
| Best inexpensive interconnect/speaker cables? Speltz. | |
| Best object in your listening room. A waterfall silkscreen by artist, Pat Steir | |
| Best value Bookshelf speaker Call Alan at Silverline. He just came out with an incredible little two way bookshelf using very high quality drivers. I think he is pricing it in the ballpark of $1,000 and it is a tremendous value at that price. Jeff | |
| I have Maggie MG 1.6's - need amp advice Dear Atmasphere,Could you write a word or two about what you mean by "The trick with any tube amp is an effective 3-4 ohm capability...". Thanks. | |
| CES / THE Show I took a friend to CES who was attending it for the first time. About the MBL room, he came and got me and said, "you've got to see these speakers". An hour later, in the Sonus Faber room he said, "that sounds so beautiful". The end. | |
| Anyone try the Paul Speltz Anti Wires? Hi, IMHO they are one of the best audio bargains available. Are there better cables? Yes, but (IMHO again) they cost much more. Until you hear a cable in your system that you feel is better and worth the extra dollars (and only you can decide wher... |
