| A revealing speaker I can't say how this speaker compares to Fritz's speakers but I did ask Tony if he knew Fritz and he did, but that was about all he'd say. I got the impression that Tony thinks his speaker is better, and not by a small margin.As for not discussing... | |
| A revealing speaker It's from the first season and it's just the intro that's played on all the episodes. It's loud, grungy, and peppered with lots of instruments all doing their own thing, seemingly incongruous but they all gel at the end.It's a short and good demo ... | |
| A revealing speaker @erik_squires , Understood and appreciated. 😄 I just needed something to ground it to for references sake. Transparent, engaging, even bracing would describe them.@mapman , Tony has a working name that appealed to me. It's Oriaco G6. I sometimes w... | |
| A revealing speaker Ruthless would not be the way I’d describe it. As the old as the saying goes, think iron fist in a velvet glove. It was never shrill, grating, or etched. It just simply got out of the way of the music like I’ve never heard.The CDs that Tony record... | |
| Speaker stand makers - Tannoy Turnberry You could try sourcing a local carpenter. I've had great luck doing that. Taking a look at them, they could use something like what Kenrick Sound uses for their big JBL models: an X-shaped base that supports at all corners while crossing in the mi... | |
| Bass Issues @brian_holmes,My Marantz SA15S2b SACD player weighs in at 29.8 lbs and it's base can deflect small caliber bullets and yet, the results has me listening to all of my CDs again, especially the ones I couldn't get through anymore.If you do decide to... | |
| Bass Issues If your source is a CD player, just get some Isoacoustic Orea footers and some more for your amp. The focus you'll get will eliminate the boomy bass resulting in some pretty dramatic focus, clarity and impact.All the best,Nonoise | |
| Do I need to decouple/isolate my preamp amp from my stand? First, ignore multiple poster roberjerman. He has anti audiophile tourettes disorder and pounces on any and every thing that works. He’s never tried it but he’s the first to decry it.Having said that, your amp and preamp will benefit from somethin... | |

| fake TL audio preamp in china Why are these silly, xenophobic topics always popping up?Talk about "triggered".Then, to add insult to injury, we normal folk have to sludge through all the right wing crap that follows. All the best,Nonoise | |
| My pet peeve: "revealing" speakers Sounds like a lot of audiophiles are frustrated having not achieved success in getting that revealing speaker, being bought or homemade, so they attribute it to other factors, which is a mistake. It's a variation on The Fox and the Sour Grapes.Add... | |
| My pet peeve: "revealing" speakers I just spent the better part of the day listening to a very......revealing speaker. Thanks for the word assist as I was somewhat at a loss to describe it. As for your feelings about the word, revealing....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wujVMIYzYX... | |
| What isolation feet under your amp with great result? Just thought I'd chime in to let you know I got the Isoacoustic Oreas today (FedEx must have read this). I had an inkling they'd work better for my SACD player what with all the spinning going on so I tried them with integrated first, to see just ... | |
| High Performance Audio - The End? Steve has always been the voice or reason, and for that, he's suffered the wrath of a lot of purists and measurement freaks. In the end, it's all about how enjoyable your system sounds.How can anyone enjoy this hobby when they're fretting about th... | |
