| How do you judge your system's neutrality? "Which part didn't you like, the Viagra or the sex?"I don't remember having sex (very common at my age) but If I had I'm sure I liked it - I think. | |
| Cable Costs Relative to System Gherrea1 - I ended up 18.6% Now I have to upgrade equipment to bring ratio down to recommended 10% (at least that's what I'm going to tell my wife) | |
| How do you judge your system's neutrality? Mrtennis - Absolutely agree. It became academic discussion with a lot of words (193 posts, most few pages long) and no use to anybody. | |
| How do you judge your system's neutrality? Cbw723 wrote: "But the choice between more or less cabinet resonance is simple, and I think most audiophiles would choose less."I'm not so sure. Cabinet might resonate with the floor at the lowest bass notes that otherwise would not be audible. I ... | |
| How do you judge your system's neutrality? I used them to keep cables straight. | |
| How do you judge your system's neutrality? Bryon wrote: "Is there a SINGLE way that a playback system is SUPPOSED TO sound?"I was talking not about system sound but original performance sound. Did I miss this original performance? Neutral (or close) system exists - I don't question that (s... | |
| How do you judge your system's neutrality? Cbw723 - Aural memory of what? I've never been to recording studio much less particular session. Maybe concert that I just attended and they made CD recordings 2 days later when my memory is still fresh? What If I had bad seat at the concert and s... | |
| How do you judge your system's neutrality? Bryon wrote: "I do not believe that there is one "right" way to listen, but I do believe that there are more neutral, resolving, and accurate ways to listen."And I do believe that there is "perfect" woman out there but I'm not interested. It is ve... | |
| How do you judge your system's neutrality? How do you know how it supposed to sound? Sitar from Northern India sounds completely different than Sitar from southern India. How do you know?Bryon wrote: "By having heard one."That's the problem - by having heard one where? In small humid room ... | |
| How do you judge your system's neutrality? Bryon - I'm under impression that you discuss mostly frequency response of the system hence word EQ is repeated often. What about whole bunch of other things like macro and micro dynamics? how do you measure "sweet sound" or "relaxed sound". It is... | |
| Cable Costs Relative to System Muralman - I said I'm not sure why we need thick speaker wires. My Acoustic Zen Satori Shotguns have gauge 7 each (about 1" dia.) and I think it is overkill but I trust AZ designer Robert Lee and bought the cable. The reason for doubt is simple - ... | |
| Cable Costs Relative to System Muralman - from technical point of view dielectric constant of insulation affects capacitance between wires as well as dielectric absorption. Mylar is horrible and it is leading reason of bright tweeters in cheap speakers. Mylar's dielectric const... | |
| How do you judge your system's neutrality? Muralman - Absolutely agree - less is more. 0.5m IC is much better than 1m IC and every addition takes away from clarity. I keep cables as short as possible and use DACs volume control to avoid using preamp. Some people claim that adding preamp im... | |
| Amps direct to wall vs. power conditioner? Brauser - I use Rowland 102 with Furman Elite 20PFi and find cleaner midrange and better controlled bass. I understand that certain conditioners might drop voltage during very high peaks making it sound less dynamic but both Rowland amps, yours an... | |
| Cable Costs Relative to System "Yup, the $100/pair IC's were identical in performannce with perhaps an even greater dynamic range and enhanced clarity"Yes, I've heard stories like that before. Next person says that he bought $0.12 wire in Home Depot and it was much better than ... |
