| Should there only be one company making gear? People in the middle ages didn't get old enough to contract a multitude of today's diseases. Increasing life span is because of medical science. There has never been a cure for a viral disease, so immunizations are used to "trick" physiology. Smal... | |
| Should there only be one company making gear? I guess audiophiles could agree on gear if the components were perfect, but with design compromises comes personal preference. Plus, consumers are individualists, and sound quality is not the only determining purchasing factor. You know the story.... | |
| Isolation Cones/Bearings placement on CD Transport Put your main finger on the middle cone and move it topside. Do the opposite for bearings. | |
| I need help with my room I bet I am going to kick myself for wondering down this path, but I have to know. What is the reference used to conclude your system is muted to the tune of 6db? | |
| Coupling vs. Decoupling for Bass Response I have found the loss of definition caused by the bottom of speakers placed entirely flat on either a hard of soft surface to be objectionable. To limit contact area, and stay low in budget I would think Vibrapods may be worth while. There are peo... | |
| Sistrum or Neuance or...? "Narcissistic" was a poor choice. “People” was an even worse choice. Apologies to Twl and everyone. Please replace with "self-complimentary" and “salesmen”, respectively. I sincerely wanted to make my argument specific and shot myself in the foot.... | |
| Sistrum or Neuance or...? Flex is right in his assessment. Robert Maicks stated point blank that Sistrum has an advertising agreement with audiogon. And if you do not read Twl's second paragraph as an ad here is another:"Try some Audiopoints under it...Disclaimer: I work f... | |
| Audiogon Music News June Curve's "The Way of Curve", a double album with singles and b-sides/rarities spanning from 1990 to 2004, came out in May. Better late mention than never. It was mastered well, although a little loud, and the chronological order plays well - you ca... | |
| Damping Vibration - Friend or Foe? Do the sitting test with ____points and tell us what you feel. Less vibrations than what? | |
| Does Your System Sound Like the Real Thing? "If the answer is no, do you even think it's possible?"An anal response to your specific question, I don't think a speaker exists that could pull it off. Because there is some compromise at any price point, they always leave a hint of themselves. ... | |
| Point to point wiring. I appreciate Pbb's skepticism. "The Great Cryo'd Outlet Test" thread is a "great" illustration of its legitimacy and with a healthy supply of misinformation, people concerned about cryo'd screws, and people hearing differences after refrigerating ... | |
| Is the significance of room acoustics overrated? "Ohlala, stop trying to pretend you are educated beyond your intelligence. Based on your verbiage above and elsewhere, it's quite evident that you already are."My post was economic, not an attempt to be eloquent. Out of laziness, instead of writin... | |
| Is the significance of room acoustics overrated? While my primary reaction is against the dim, mediocre ponderance of relative importance of anything audio, especially variables that don't compete against each other, I also automatically thought about the slew of confounds that were dismissed in... | |
| Two preamps in your system "I understand that it's basic human nature to be skeptical of things out of the norm...."Sometimes, the road less traveled...is less traveled for a reason. | |
| Time to reflect - why do you post on Audiogon..... Sometimes its kind of like watching television and being on it at the same time. I like that, and I like that outside status of individual members is minimized in interactions. Who one is is what one posts. And I get to back and look at my old pos... |
