| Very small very sensitive floor stander 1000? I second the Monitor Audio RS6 idea. Really like those speakers, even driven by modest AV receiver.How about Focal Chorus 714V? They are very efficient, a little more than 35" tall and sound very good.I would also have suggested the Triangle Altea... | |
| Why do Audiophiles feel the need... I have not read any of the posts on this thread, but feel the need to disagree with all of you anyway. Which reminds me, what do you think of the Davone Rithm speakers? I have never heard them, but I understand if you turn them upside down they ma... | |
| Good and bad w/ replacing stock preamp jumpers? "My experience has been that when someone states it seems as though there has been a sonic improvementthere hasn't been any change, just what they had hoped to hear."Isn't that what happens when someone adds any new piece of equipment, whether it ... | |
| Which Power Cords: I Need Some Informed Guidance Nasaman,It's good to hear you have had luck with the Blue Jeans ICs. I have been recommending this company's products for friends who are skeptical of wires that cost as much as their gear because the products appear to be well made and use qualit... | |
| Which Power Cords: I Need Some Informed Guidance Neutron, boy, you have jumped off into the cable deep end! Not much to add on the ICs.As for building power cables, I have rudimentary experience with wiring and electrical circuits, so in terms of construction of power cables have been trying to ... | |
| Which Power Cords: I Need Some Informed Guidance Nasaman,Did not directly compare because DIY cord is hard-wired to amp, i.e no IEC connector to swap. BUT in general, I would say that the DIY cord has a less sophisticated but very relaxed sound compared with any of the Shunyata cables. The music... | |
| Which Power Cords: I Need Some Informed Guidance Nasaman,I compared several Shunyata cables pretty carefully and the Diamondback and Taipan Helix VX are both very nice. The Taipan is incrementally better, and the better your gear, the greater the difference you will hear. At the prices you can p... | |
| Would you pay to audition speakers Taters, I was sounding off before carefully reading your post.I guess this dealer is so busy tallying their sales slips in these robust economic times that they don't have time for mere "shoppers". If they were working at the shoe counter at Nords... | |
| Which Power Cords: I Need Some Informed Guidance That is great! Once I got the all the cords right, I kind of fell off the merry-go-round for a while and am just enjoying listening to music instead of the gear. Enjoy!! | |
| HUGE Spacious Surrounds - The When voicing my custom built speakers with a test disk, I notice that my hearing runs out of steam at about 15000Hz, while my speakers and sound pressure meter keep going up to at least 21500Hz.What I can hear sounds pretty good though. :o) | |
| what is the theory behind maple stands and racks? Stevenball,Your example of the vibrational consequences of a poorly hit ball is quite graphic, but if efficient transfer of vibration is the only story wrt audio platforms, then I think wood would not be the material of choice. There are much stif... | |
| what is the theory behind maple stands and racks? My guess is that the wood "absorbs" the vibration, just as your house absorbs and dampens noise (to a greater or lesser degree). The thicker and heavier the wood, there greater its ability to absorb and dissipate vibration from either direction. I... | |
| HUGE Spacious Surrounds - The Yes, but 20kHz has a wavelength of only 0.0565 ft., and most people have a very difficult time "hearing" this frequency. But most people who can hear at all, can "hear" 20Hz sound waves. Although they can probably "feel" sound at this low frequenc... | |
| HUGE Spacious Surrounds - The If your ears make it close to 20 kHz, you are doing better than most! |
