| Has anyone in Mi.acheived holographic imaging? Actually, here are the most notable ones I have heard over the years at dealers:-Magnepan (SS amp) at Audition Audio in Birmingham AL (~1987)-Dynaudio (SS amp) at now defunct dealer in Ownings Mills MD (~1993)-Martin Logan/Focal (Krell SS amp) at ... | |
| Has anyone in Mi.acheived holographic imaging? Mesh, yes you reminded me the first time I heard a truly holographic demo was also with Dynaudio monitors set up very wide apart yet still with lots of space to front wall and modest space to side walls. I have been a huge Dynaudio fan ever since. | |
| Has anyone in Mi.acheived holographic imaging? There is only one instance I recall over the years where I heard multiple sets of speakers set up in teh same room in different spots concurrently all do "holography" to the nth degree. That was at a local Tweeter store a few years back. One pair ... | |
| Passive radiator In the late 70's, at Tech Hifi, among all the major speaker brands and models sold that I heard, my overall favorite for a somewhat larger room were the OHM Hs, one of just a few, and the only OHM that used a passive radiator. They were the ones t... | |
| Sjofen The Clue speakers THese remind me so much from what I see and read of my Triangle Titus, even more so their bigger brothers, the Cometes. I'd be willing to bet that if in the review the speakers were set up More like this on low isolating stands closer to the flo... | |
| Supratek out of business? Back to the stone ages..... ICs and wires from Radio Shack. Whoops, they are in trouble as well. Maybe Home Depot. Or Audioquest seems to be doing well. Monster still too.Seriously, check on amazon. There is no shortage of wires. Would using the s... | |
| Looking for good bookshelf speakers less than $1k Brand new Factory refurbed OHM Ls are an option worth considering. I bought my pair in 1978 when they sold for $500 a pair. I still have them and refurb and upgrade them as needed. OHM has been around for over 40 years and still supports every spe... | |
| Passive radiator Some of my favorite speakers over the years have used passive radiators, though they seem less common these days then back in say the 70's. Goldenear Aon3 is the current one I know of that I have heard and also thought to have top notch sound espe... | |
| What is the best HEAVY METAL speaker? "That's just the way it is, regardless (for the most part) of the music genre. If you want electronia to sound its best with all the bass impact, you need exactly the same thing."That is true.Of course its always hard to define what is good and wh... | |

| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Lak,If by chance you would ever get an opportunity to have a shootout between your friends DNM wires and your HF, I would be very interested in the findings.Cheers! | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Th troll says: nice useful posts from lak and Rl. Thanks!The only problem with DNMs I have is that they are not shielded. I use them from my phono step-up transformer to pre-amp as well as from digital source to preamp and pre-amp to amp. I added ... | |
| Pangea Power Cables comments I have two 14 models on my pre-amp and DAC. They are a nice product that can be had for reasonable cost and seem to work as advertised. Each improved overall clarity I would assume by limiting noise and distortion. VEry low risk to try these and t... | |
| Best Dac under $600... New or used mhdt Constantine used would fit your bill to a tee with your budget and probably leave some change if you can find one. It's a SS non-oversampling DAC I use in my main system. |
