| Why are CD's decling in quality? At some point all CD's, DVD's, LD's, etc will deteriorate. The reality is, like anything else, they just don't last forever. But should last a very very long time.Some environmental factors will speed up their demise however. And this may be what ... | |
| Has anybody tried using single solid core cables? I've only gotten more clarity and detail with every upgrade in gauge. But it becomes more natural and organic. It does give you more body and bass. But people have designed their system around cables that left that very last part of the signal out... | |
| Has anybody tried using single solid core cables? So I decided today to change to stranded wire for my power cords. The solid core were way way to stiff. However I went up a gauge. And made them a foot shorter. So they are now 10 gauge that I bought at home depot (14 feet for $25!!). Copper is co... | |
| Thiel death do we part . . . This is why I love having a sound card for a front end. I just did this same thing last night. It's all software and in the digital realm. The Software EQ won't damage the signal or sound one bit. To harsh on bad recordings? Just roll off the top ... | |
| How To Get The Best Sound From Pandora & Rhapsody? MOG and google play both use 320kbpsGoogle play also has free tracks all the time. Even if you don't subscribe to google play it's nice to go there just to get the free tracks every now and then. | |
| Solving the THIEL CS 5i's - vs- CS 7.2 Debate Always nice to see someone do a showdown like this. I've always loved Thiel speakers. Had a few of the smaller ones and was always curious of the larger guys.Out of curiosity if you had to guess how do you think the CS 6 would fall into place with... | |
| Is computer audio pushing up the price of CDPs? CD players and such just don't have the luxury of selling in the millions like they used to and don't have the benefit of scale of economy anymore. That has been taken over by servers, phones, ipods and the like. So the price has to go up. Eventua... | |
| New Thiel Speakers - Post Jim Thiel Era Interesting. After reading this I searched internet and found this discussion:http://forums.audioholics.com/forums/loudspeakers/88893-thiel-audio-tm3-bookshelf-speaker-previewed.htmlI kind of agree with the rest. It seems like they are throwing aw... | |
| Has anybody tried using single solid core cables? Solid core is all I use now. I make my own from home depot wire. Actually last night I made some solid core 12 gauge romex power cords for my mono amps. I'm blown away at how much the sound improved. Super fast and tight, very detailed but natural... | |
| Shocking 3D sound in 2 channel Avalon speakers are known for this. There was even a system that was put together with MIT cables/spectral amps/Avalon speakers called the 2C3D (two channel 3D). I got to hear that system, it was insane how 3D it was.The store owner hooked up a ve... | |

| Free 24-bit tracks download from Linn I ended up being able to get 11 of them. All studio masters at 24/96 or 24/192. Not a bad deal for free :) | |
| Where are the female Audiophiles? Because a nice stereo doesn't make a woman look better or feel better about herself. Being an Audiophile is also mostly a solitary hobby. Women want to do more social activities. They get depressed and feel down when they are alone in a room for t... | |
| To Vandersteen or not to Vandersteen I never liked any Vandersteen's. I always come away feeling like I drank a warm cup of water on a hot day when I listen to Vandersteen speakers. They try so hard to not offend that everything they do is so totally mediocre. | |
| Price Increases Seems the last 10 years they have pretty much doubled on a lot of brands. Way higher than inflation. It's gone crazy. It's starting to bleed over onto the used market in ways too. I was reading some old forum posts from 10 years ago. They were tal... |
