| Synergistic Red Fuse ... With the engineer, its the fear of criticism. Not sure about that. The best engineers strive for accuracy and avoid making mistakes that will have consequences to someone down the road. Almarg is a good example here. Also having a law background... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Yes I never thought much of Maxwell House in the past. Has it gotten better or is it just me? | |
| Corner Placement One thing I am pretty sure of if I ever decide to take the plunge and add a SET amp system, which I have almost done many times to-date, I am pretty sure I would now definitely go with a corner placement arrangement of some sort. It seems to have ... | |
| Corner Placement inna the AN setups I've heard had more soundstage depth than I would have thought and did not seem really 2-dimensional either, just not as much as many other good setups. Plus other than that the AN setups at these shows continuously seem to be... | |
| Corner Placement I’m doing the corner placement experiments in a smaller room (12X12) where I find it harder to get soundstage depth. I value soundstage depth but this is not my main listening room so I am willing to make a tradeoff there especially since options ... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... I was a salesman for a few years early on ( and a half decent one) but a software/systems engineer for the last 30 or so. So I can swing both ways in that sense. I find the same basic tenets that made me a decent saleperson also serve me well as ... | |
| Capital Audio Fest 2016 I will say the thing that impressed me most at this show, more so than any single thing I heard, was the passion of so many of the vendors there. So many of these guys seem to really put their heart and sole into realizing their visions and making... | |
| Capital Audio Fest 2016 Did not know that. I heard so many really good sounding systems there. It seems to me that attention to integration and setup and personal preferences may each be bigger factors for good sound these days than most any particular product. There a... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... i finished going through all the product literature I brought home from CAF. Everyone makes superlative claims to help get their product attention. Why should fuses be any different. Heck I can afford a few of these fuses easier than most anything... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... I was at Capital Audiofest last week.No mention of fuses came up but the magnetic wire company that has a lot of fans here had a room.It sounded fine but no better than the others and certainly not best in show for me. I have not seen others in... | |
| Corner Placement I am trying out my Triangle Titus monitors with corner placement for the first time. I like what I am hearing so far. More bass out of those known to be somewhat bass shy speakers. Big soundstage but not necessarily deep which may be a go... | |
| Corner Placement WAlan, but I am trying to understand what constitutes a speaker designed for corner placement?Corner placement tends to enhance bass. That’s the only thing I can think of. So the speaker is designed to sound right with that corner bass boost and m... | |
| Why are so many companies like harbeth making old speakers designs and charging thousends? There were some Harbeths in a room at CAF. I would have loved to hear them but they were not running at the time. They definitely have a nice and unique aesthetic charm and seem to get good reviews so why shouldn't people want them. | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Its possible the folks who hear a big improvement had some issue with their other fuses to start with. How just re-seating a fuse alone could change the sound has already been mentioned.I have no problem with people saying a product can improve th... | |
| Loudspeakers have we really made that much progress since the 1930s? john,We’ll have to agree to disagree on that, much of which is very subjective.I experience all those things regularly on both my own and other systems I hear with modern speaker technology.Doing it with low power these days is perhaps the biggest... |
