| Narrowing Down the Speaker Search If you are anywhere in the Los Angeles area, check out Tonian Labs. I believe they still make the TL-D1, which I have, and they now have a similar version that uses the German AER widebander (which took a long time to get). They are very efficient... | |
| 30 Years of Perfect Sound? Does anyone here know if it's true that a CDP has no jitter as stated in the article in question? It's one thing to knock the guy and how he came to his conclusions but I haven't seen a refutation of the no jitter issue.Considering the extreme val... | |

| Vendors Who Post As long as they're not hawking their wares like some carnival barker, I'm fine with their advice. Even when they offer their product as a palliative, as long as that palliative has a proven track record, and it fits into the discussion, then it's ... | |
| 30 Years of Perfect Sound? Mapman,You hit the nail on the head. It would take too much money for me to equal and surpass the sound I get from my CDP. Fun, yes, but expensive.All the best,Nonoise | |
| 30 Years of Perfect Sound? It explains why I prefer my CDP over my simple and cost effective computer set up. By a wide margin. All the best,Nonoise | |
| Speaker cables or interconnects?? Stevecham+1I've had Audioquest, Music Metre, Supra, Clear Day, Zu Mission and Mapleshade (all entry level except for Zu) and the Mapleshade cables are far and away the best I've had in my system. YMMV but I doubt it.All the best,Nonoise | |
| interconnects specifically for speaker drivers I looked up these options but I don't know how good they are:http://www.crutchfield.com/S-JaF5nernMxT/p_142AMYC/EFX-Y-adapter.htmlhttp://www.cablestogo.com/product.asp?cat_id=118&sku=40650#Hope it helps.All the best,Nonoise | |
| WHAT GOOD IS SPEAKER AND CABLE IMPEDANCE ANYWAY? I can sense the responses being worked up. | |
| Harry Pearson HP No Longer at TAS I haven't picked up a copy of The Absolute Sound in quite some time and it's sad to hear of Harry Pearson's situation. The upside to all of this is to hear him and his musings without the constraints of The Absolute Sound. I wish him the best.All ... | |
| interconnects specifically for speaker drivers Offhand, I know of no company that makes cables specifically for certain frequencies. As Rrog has asked, coherency would be off the table. All companies go for the all-in-one approach. Usually they have different levels of improvement in their lin... | |
| Mapleshade Golden Helix Vs Double Helix Forget what I said about bi and tri wiring with the Double Helix speaker cables.Not 2 hours later they took a big turn for the better. I was listening to Melody Gardot and her voice took a turn downwards, tonally, about halfway to Lauren Bacall. H... | |
| R.I.P. Andy Williams I grew up watching The Andy Williams Show with my parents and loved every episode. Music, comedy, you name it and Andy did it. It's too bad that this is a generational 'thing'. Shows like his and others of his time helped build a foundation of cul... | |
| Mapleshade Golden Helix Vs Double Helix SunnyJIm,I hear you. Elucidation, when offered, is a far cry from mutterings and mumblings.As one who thinks he's reached his sonic goals, only to discover that he just went sideways, I can share in the frustration this wonderful hobby requires of... | |
| Mapleshade Golden Helix Vs Double Helix I couldn't wait. I wanted to. I couldn't leave well enough alone.I bi-wired the standard Helix with the Double Helix and it got perceptibly better. A little more here and there. Like adding something to a good stock. Not content with that, I went ... |
