| Anticables Review I wonder how Anti Cables sound compared to the alternate minimalist and well reviewed DNM IC? The DNMs are my favorite unshielded ICs to date though there are many I have not tried or compared. | |
| Strange Klipsch thing "Mapman, headphones introduce their own set of perception peculiarities that compromise your point."How's that? | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? "it had an amazing impact basically removing the sidewalls and the speaker walls"So you are saying these treatments essentially turned your room into an anechoic chamber? I don't doubt they have a positive effect used properly, but that sounds lik... | |
| Strange Klipsch thing "Would be a sin of omission not a coloration or distortion."Matter of perspective I suppose, but if the 3-d cues are there and not presented accurately, how is this different than watching a 3-D tv picture without the glasses needed to see it prop... | |
| Strange Klipsch thing "No depth is a illusion. It doesn't exist its a trick of the senses like stereo. "All of audio playback is an illusion and a reproduction but not "real". Soundstage depth is no different than any other aspect of good sound. It can exist in the rea... | |
| Strange Klipsch thing Yes.For it to work well, the subtle 3 dimensional sound cues are captured in the recording to various degrees (or not).Then the playback system reproduces them in the 3-D space of your listening room, to the extent that the playback system is accu... | |
| Strange Klipsch thing The thing is, I do not see how there can be any depth of soundstage without reflected sound. Our choices in general regarding how we locate speakers away from rear walls in order to get depth of soundstage would seem to support this. Every system ... | |
| Strange Klipsch thing "Reflected sound. So what you guys are saying is that depth is a coloration."I'm not, but I suppose you could call it that if you are in the camp that says all reflected sound is bad and should be avoided. It's an impossible goal in most any actua... | |
| Strange Klipsch thing Yep, distance from rear wall and associated reflected sound is needed to create imaging depth.mbl omni's set up accordingly do this to the max. | |
| Who has the oldest speakers? OHM Ls I bought in 1978 that I recently refurbished.The cabinets on my OHM F-5s are refurbished OHm F cabinets. Chances are these are a tad older even, perhaps from the mid 70s. | |
| Headphones for use with Squeezebox Radio I like the build quality and fit design of the B&Ws. Haven't heard them enough to comment on the sound, but I suspect they are contenders.There are soooooo many head and ear phones out there these days to choose from...... | |
| Favorite Pre Amp and Amp with Vandersteen? Rogue is one I would like to hear in the tube amp camp.Tube Audio Design products another in the SS/tube hybrid camp.in the straight SS camp, I would tend to lean towards some of the better Class D amps. | |
| Headphones for use with Squeezebox Radio So I've been living with the Klipsch now for a few months and they are working out fine in that application. Could I do better sound wise? Probably. Am I tempted to spend more? Not at present in that this setup gets only limited use usually just t... | |
| Review: d-sonic m2-1000s Amplifier "how long do u think breakin will take?"Do not know for certain (my amps are different make and acquired used) but suspect it will take a while. Patience is probably a good idea.My only caveat with those amps for prospective buyers would be that I... | |
| What are you 'TRULY' Looking for in Loudspeaker... "A speaker I can listen to for hours and not get bored."That's a very good answer!Works for me also. |
