| What causes speaker cone to extend when... I think Stanwal was right about the stored energy. I had this happen to me when a friend brought over an old Marantz integrated and when I connected the speaker wires, the cones moved so much I thought they'd jump out of the cabinet. I've never ex... | |
| Amps that are "forward" My new Burson PI-160 does everything right, including detail up the ying yang without stridency or at the expense of mids or bass. Its just one super clean sounding amp that doesn't miss a thing yet retains the naturalness of a recording. Its the ... | |
| Made in Canada conundrum I don't know how your situation got to where its at but I had no problems sending a piece of gear back for a mod. The folks who did this for me told me what to write and declare, word for word, and presto! Just a standard one day wait at the borde... | |
| So what is the best speaker you have ever owned? Wolf_garcia,Thanks for making me laugh first thing this morning. | |
| So what is the best speaker you have ever owned? Tonian Labs TL-D1s. They are the most natural I've heard and still own. Effortless and yet dynamic when needed. Not much bass below 40Hz but what they do, they do so well. Tons of tone, body, air, you name it. I always run out of superlatives and ... | |
| New Zu Mission cable Nasaman, They're still breaking in but if you need to know how I feel about them now, I'd say go and put a bid in over at ebay and hope you can get them at a low price. The PC gave me the biggest improvement: it cleared up a haze or fog that I did... | |
| New amp being touted as among the best ever...... Give it about a week, maybe a month.Things will come full circle and some well made, class AB amp will be at the top, again. How many brass rings are on this merry-go-round? | |
| Anyone use CD tweaks The CD mat from Herbie's Audio Lab works great but sometimes gets stuck in the drawer mechanism, which is why i stopped using it. That, and it looses its ability to stay stuck after several uses and needs to be cleaned as a result. I believe its n... | |
| New Zu Mission cable It is disheartening to learn of this but what I got at the sale price is just a little more than the starting bid prices. But to think that someone could buy at full retail and there, on ebay, one can bid for a hell of a lot less would really piss... | |
| Most Beneficial Cable Upgrade Ctunney,You're onto something there. Its the same with car reviewers: all it really takes is a drive down the street to ascertain whether the car is any good, comparatively, to really take notice. They've driven so many cars that they have a bette... | |
| Hi efficient speaker, bass problems Tmsorosk, When I said my fingers and couch vibrate, I meant only that. A tingly feeling that's in sync with the lower fundamentals of the music. The occasional picture vibrating is the same. I do like your system and its ability to go low and accu... | |
| Hi efficient speaker, bass problems High efficiency speakers with bass problems is fast becoming conventional wisdom. There's no way I can refute any of the 'facts' or specs mentioned but all I can say is I'm getting some very decent bass out of my Tonian Tl-D1s. Yes, it drops off q... | |
| Most Beneficial Cable Upgrade I, too, was around when Monster Cable came upon the scene and remember going into some very High End stores and walking away wondering what all the fuss was about. Those systems I heard, though expensive, weren't as resolving as the simple one I n... | |
| Most Beneficial Cable Upgrade Every now and then the placebo effect pops up and is used to decry and denounce any perceived improvement in whatever it is one is trying out. But what of the double blind test and the effect it has on one's reputation which is now the focus of th... | |
| My Oppo hums Just had the Time Warner tech over and claimed he's never experienced this before. He was sincere. I also got a phone message (before he came) from TW stating that they think they solved the problem. What was unbearable at, say, 1/3 volume is now ... |
