| Some old cables rescued me from computer audio. I know bi wiring has been done by others but does anyone know if any major make ever sold bi wire sets of speaker wire that didn't share the same sleeve/jacket? It would make sense to, sound wise, but the looks would suffer somewhat. Considering t... | |
| What's up with that? I too, don't know how this thread has gone as long as it has since I posted right after Swampwaters first post and it never made it to print. It went something like: It was too onerous a step to take.All the best,Nonoise | |
| Some old cables rescued me from computer audio. Ivan, thanks for the detailed response. It will be no problem to keep them separated since the Clear Day cables hang low due their weight and the Mapleshade ICs are so springy, they literally 'float' around and stay clear of everything else. I've ... | |
| Interesting Ads It sounds like the kind of conversation that at first blush, sounds interesting, and then you wish someone would call you away. It's just a piece of equipment. One's pedigree isn't a prerequisite for selling it. IMO, YMMV, etc. goes a long way bet... | |
| I'm back now to my CDP Sorry to resurrect this thread but just for the heck of it I went and dug up the matching Mapleshade speaker wire and things really opened up. A lot. But the lower mids and bass were somewhat weakened, taking a backseat to the rest.With a whole bo... | |
| What is a high end stereo SUPPOSED to sound like? Spot on about how the highs and lows grab you when you first enter a "high end" showroom. It's akin to what you see when evaluating TVs: settings that look great but permanently burn out the rods and cones in the back of your eye if you look long ... | |
| What is a high end stereo SUPPOSED to sound like? Great point Mapman. I listen in the nearfield, allowing the illusion of virtually any perspective, according to scale, to sound convincing. Smaller, recorded venues come off more convincingly but the larger ones satisfy as well.It also helps to tu... | |
| What is a high end stereo SUPPOSED to sound like? A high end system should do its best to recreate the original recording event. Take any MA recording. Different venues from around the world with no two sounding the same. Tons of ambience, decay and air are common themes in all MA recordings yet ... | |
| why do we argue? Al,I like and agree with your first point. Externalities are always at play whether intended or not. To do something in a tightly controlled environment can negate its results in the real world where variables exist. With so much in play, in so ma... | |
| why do we argue? Quite the perspective there, Uru975. You forgot to mention there would be no one to argue with anymore. It reminds me of the old Gahan Wilson cartoon:http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_E-4d6l_7SXg/S13fSHjSQ7I/AAAAAAAAAGM/qhPZJJrbpWw/s1600-h/gahanwilson.jpg... | |
| why do we argue? It would be interesting to see where our military falls on this issue. Having a simplified guidance system (thanks kid!) would make it easier to hit their target(s). Our military (Pentagon & DOD) already buys into global warming as do all the ... | |
| why do we argue? Bryon,This may be an example of "entrenched Objectivism":http://cosmiclog.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2012/05/28/11920006-16-year-olds-equations-set-off-buzz-over-325-year-old-physics-puzzler.It seems to have set off a firestorm as to the intent of the te... | |
| why do we argue? Categories aside, no matter which side of the fence you sit on, once something is heard, and appreciated, and/or moves you, we all become subjectivists, don't we? :-)The objectivist might say, after hearing, that the result confirms the data witho... | |
| why do we argue? Boggs? Did I say boggs instead of Higgs boson?(hiGGS+BOson=boggs)Another example of unlicensed poetic license.I should type slower.All the best,Nonoise |
