| A brutal review of the Wilson Maxx Unsound, since neither anechoic chambers nor the measuring equipment nor the techniques used are standardized, how can that possibly be a baseline? All anechoic measurements tell you is the singular "performance" of a speaker in a singular environ... | |
| A brutal review of the Wilson Maxx Unsound, no personal attack meant. Of course technology can be improved by better testing procedures which is why I think 2005 computer models have suplanted 1940 anechoic chambers.Rysa4, I agree that a "standard" of reference is useful but the fa... | |
| A brutal review of the Wilson Maxx Anechoic chambers don't skew the measurements?Dipole, point source, line source, transmission line, ported, bass reflex and electrostat speakers are all subjected to 1940s "technology" without "bias"?Take a guess which one tests best with archaic ... | |
| Speed bumps as a cause of hearing loss. This phenomenon is real but is in fact due to the reverse Doppler effect. Accordingly the solution is simple: after the bump, turn up the volume, step on the gas and wipe that tear away. | |
| Need MC Step-Up Transformer advice? Hey Raul, I'm a 6 nines cupric kind of guy.I kid you Raul.If I could converse half as cogently in your native language as you do in mine I'd take my own posts way more seriously. | |
| Magnum Dynalab 109 Yes the "smoothness and richness from the 108 is in a class of its own" because MD has abandoned it.In favor of the better sounding MOSFET-free tube triode output stage of the 106T for the new flagship 109.I await Mr. Sircom's review with bated br... | |
| A brutal review of the Wilson Maxx Unsound, how is an anechoic chamber a less prejudicial reference?Rysa4, sorry you missed the joke: sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.Jaybo, Vin would only use an anechoic wash then hand buff the finish until it reflected DC. | |
| A brutal review of the Wilson Maxx Rysa4, I understand your desire for an "objective standard" but why must it be an anechoic chamber? The room in which I listen is no more an anechoic chamber than it is an aquarium (excepting the bottom feeders, of course). Why not put acceleromet... | |
| Need MC Step-Up Transformer advice? Pauly, what Raul means is that as SUTs are to OTLs, so LO MCs are to the MoJ.Proper English; irrefutable logic.MoJ obviously referring to the mass of Jupiter. | |
| Magnum Dynalab 109 Ron, I believe the 106T sounds better than the 108 because it has a triode tube audio stage. While the 108 uses a tube audio stage, it is not run as a triode. The new 109 uses a triode audio stage and as well so I think MD must be moving in that d... | |
| Opinions on the Oracle Delphi V's performance? Your choice between a Delphi V vs a VPI Scoutmaster really boils down to whether or not you prefer the sound of sprung vs unsprung turntables. They are each superb excecutions of both design philosophies. Sprung tables tend to emphasize midrange p... | |
| Magnum Dynalab 109 My tuner is probably my most used source and I have was a happy owner of the MD 108 until I heard the 106T. I believe it actually sounds better despite its lower cost so I sold my 108 and now use the 106T. Frankly the 109 seems more like an upgrad... | |
| What is the best arm for a VPI Aries 2 and Benz L2 I believe the Triplanar VII (or earlier versions) works exceptionally well with VPI tables and Benz cartridges. The Graham 2.2 or Phantom works very well also if you prefer a slightly cooler, more detailed sound. I think both arms sound significan... | |
| A brutal review of the Wilson Maxx That Mr. Hardesty has named his journal eponymously with Mr. Wilson's subwoofer is more than telling: Axes are clearly grinding. The few who are able to procure MAXX IIs are unlikely to be dissuaded by his "opinion". But the rest of us will surely... | |
| Avid Acutus Gmorris, no one who has heard it could blame you for keeping the input impedance of the PH2 as low as possible regardless of the cartridge. I'd be using it myself if a one ohm resistor were available.I'm pleased that you're enjoying your stoned Or... |
