| Ultimate sub? Wilson Audio's Thor's Hammer will rattle your foundation. It can reproduce 16 Hz note at full volume. Some make this claim, the Hammer can actually back it up. | |
| You are there-they are here I prefer a "you are there" presentation. I like a deep, 3-dimensional soundstage presentation. I like to think of it as a 'mid-hall' perspective. I do not care for the forward, 'front row seat' type of sound. That said, I don't know how much the s... | |
| Listener fatigue: what does it really mean? Soooo, what are your oppinions about what listener fatigue is and why it's caused?I feel listening fatigue is a mental and/or emotional sense of being, not so much a physical issue with the ears. I find it most commonly occurs with me when my syst... | |
| wiring monoblocks to speakers Vicdamone, rough night? Why respond to me? You added nothing to the thread either. The help that you speak of is only more of the same old rhetoric that has been posted on this topic ad nauseam. It brought back memories of one member who started a... | |
| preamp vs integrated Is there a difference? Yes. However, different is not always better. If you 'love the sound' I'd advise you to leave well enough alone. Enjoy the music. | |
| That Audiophile Thing No, I don't think I would do it all over again. It's more than just money, it's time and effort to set up, dismantle, buy and sell. The hassle of ads, pics, carrying 100 pound boxes to and from Fed Ex/UPS. I'm getting too old for this shit. LOL!I ... | |
| Anybody try doubling different cables? Isn't the Acoustic Zen Double Barrel already a double run? | |
| wiring monoblocks to speakers This topic has been discussed many times, perhaps a search of the archives would prove helpful. | |
| An Unusual Question -- Equipment Rental/Loans You are right about the laws of diminishing returns. However, I'm sure that you will find the results staggering and worthwhile, after listening to nothing for a couple of weeks. ;) | |
| Prima Luna Dialogue 3 or Cary SLP 98L? I would go for the Cary, but then I'm biased, owning a SLP-98P F1. You may get more synergy with the Prima Luna and your Prima Luna amp. | |
| Vienna Acoustics Kiss vs. Dynaudio Contour S3.4 You should be concerned with brightness using Krell amplification. I have a friend who had a similar problems with Dynaudio S3.3's driven by a Krell KAV-250a amp. He solved the problem by switching to a Jeff Rowland amplifier. | |
| Interconnect with great dynamics and bass slam , @Misternice, The One power cords do have a hump in the lower midrange/upper bass region, which is fine if that is what you are looking for. I do not use those cords though. However, The One cables do not have that 'hump' like The One power cords d... | |
| Interconnect with great dynamics and bass slam , Grey9hound, enjoy the new cables. :)I just sold a pair of Analysis Plus Solo Crystal Oval 8 speaker cables, they had many good tonal qualities, but their forward soundstage just wasn't my cup of tea. I know many who enjoy that 'immediacy', or feel... | |

| Interconnect with great dynamics and bass slam , Yeah, I saw that the $600 was at the upper end of your range, but they are good interconnects. They look like they are 1 meter, but you can e-mail him or call him, he lists his phone number. Since his ad already has expired and then re-posted at t... |
