| The nightmare of the cartridge buyer... I always find it amusing when we begin to pontificate on the economics of this business. Given how easy it is to produce high-end, boutique offerings for a limited market, the logistics around supporting the finicky retail consumer of said offerin... | |
| Dead Can Dance reissues - not happy This comment has nothing to do with the latest reissues, but with the DCD Volume 1 (black) box set...Try listening to the instrumental track on the 19.11.1983 John Peel Sessions disk at 33 1/3 rather than 45 RPM. I like it better at the slower spe... | |
| balanced vs. unbalanced sound quality This thread has literally made me dumber. For those truly interested in this topic...seek out another thread. | |
| How does high-pass filter requirement affect system decisions? For anyone following this thread, I did ask Richard variation of this question. He posted his response to the “Ask Richard” section of the Vandersteen website:Nicholas (1/13/17): Richard, I miss the regular updates to the "Ask Richard" section! It... | |
| Dead Can Dance reissues - not happy My MoFi releases sound great (I have very low serial numbers). However, I am partial to the MoFi digital remasters on hybrid CD/SACD (played through my Ayre CX-7e mp). The Redbook layer is stellar. I’ll pull out the box set vinyl copies in the mor... | |

| How about a list of speakers that are time and phase coherent? Thiels and what else? Maggie’s are not time and phase coherent. Single driver speakers are not (necessarily) time and phase coherent. Planars and electro-stats are not (necessarily) time and phase coherent. Just trying to stop this from becoming a “speakers we like” th... | |
| How about a list of speakers that are time and phase coherent? Thiels and what else? Ohm Walsh Sound Cylinders claim to be, but I’d need to see the measurements to believe it. | |
| How about a list of speakers that are time and phase coherent? Thiels and what else? The Reference 3As aren't either, simply because the woofer is run w/o a crossover and out of its pistonic range. | |
| How about a list of speakers that are time and phase coherent? Thiels and what else? LS3/5A's are not time and phase coherent either. The LS3/5a V2's step response indicates that the tweeter is connected in inverted acoustic polarity, the woofer in positive.

| How about a list of speakers that are time and phase coherent? Thiels and what else? Take Wilson off the list. They are not time and phase coherent.I promise you Voxativ loudspeakers are not time and phase coherent, either. | |
| Wilson benesch I’ve never heard a set, but I’ve always thought their higher-end offerings were super-sexy. | |
| Vandersteen 5a vs Quatro ct which do you choose? Buying new? Quatro CTs. Used? Can’t go wrong either way. | |
| Vintage receivers??? This is generally the wrong forum to discuss vintage equipment. Check out Audiokarma.org. | |
| iFi AC iPurifier I bought 2 on a whim. In short, they're staying in my system.I noticed 4 things in my system: 1) lower noise floor (never realized what that meant until now), 2) more "space between the notes", 3) the "edges of the sounds" extend further, and 4) t... |
