| What does Flat Earth mean in audio circles? Newbee, maybe you need to change your name ;-) You are sounding like an old hand now.Drubin, I believe there are many kinds of Flat Earthers. There are those who think that only a few of the measurable characteristics matter (take a look at a spea... | |
| It's No Fun Being a Guru Anymore It might be good to talk to the dealer who may have led him astray (or, perhaps your friend simply misinterpreted -- this is pretty complicated and anything complicated can be misinterpreted). If you visit the dealer and develop some potential alt... | |
| correct bi-wiring per Richard Vandersteen Marie, that's an interesting article. My understanding was that one of the advantages of bi-wiring is that the cross-overs themselves can be made simpler and that the speakers can be more electronically isolated from one another. The advantages of... | |
| Personal speaker evolution It's been a year and a half since I've posted my speaker evolution -- what a thread! I've since sold my Thiel CS-6's and traded in my PBN Monatan KAS's for the WAS's. I hope to stay with them for at least for the next 18 months ;-) | |
| Personal speaker evolution Stevecham, you moved from the Thiel 7's to the 6's? That's interesting. | |
| New system too bright.Will different cables help ? As Tvad suggests, you may find there is nothing you can do to compensate for the component that is causing the brightness. That would be a good place to start. Having said that, I once owned a Bryston / Thiel combination and loved it except for th... | |
| Side firing bass designs - Pros & Cons?... Lrsky, that's an interesting concept. The way I interpret it, the very act of moving a lot of air in a small space creates distortion -- call it atmospheric friction, but add eddy currents and whirls. By moving air more uniformly over a larger sur... | |
| Side firing bass designs - Pros & Cons?... If memory serves, frequencies below 200 Hz tend to be perceived as non-directional -- you can't tell where they are coming from. John is correct that a smaller front baffle leads to improved imaging, but some manufacturers compensate for that by u... | |
| People who are Irrationally Afraid of tube amps Surely Sean never claimed to be Eric Clapton ;-) "Equal" is a fairly murky word which can mean many things. It could mean "the same", it could mean "as much" or it could mean other things. Let's not let different interpretations draw us into the c... | |
| Diana Krall - ENGAGED I heard about this engagement about a month ago -- I read about it in the newspaper so it must be true ;-)Hmmm, not everyone's a fan, eh? | |
| Futterman NYAL OTL You may have already seen this, but here is a link that might offer up some more clues: http://www.audiocircuit.com/9120-valveamplifier-circuit/Commercial/NYAL-NYA/9120CMNYA.htm This site actually shows a schematic and there's an email address at ... | |
| People who are Irrationally Afraid of tube amps Experienced AudioGoners? Not everyone is equally experienced with all kinds of gear. We solid state folks keep hearing that tubes are king (I've heard tubes and ss in many forms and it really is a matter of personal tradeoffs and preferences IMHO)... | |
| Stacking components? Given the rack system, I wouldn't worry too much about stacking since the rack is probably not built for isolation damping in the first place. Vibrapods work well. Something like the Stillpoints Isolation Cones work better. Get a little distance b... | |
| Where do you draw the line??? Maxxc, if one were to randomly choose 10 audiophiles and give them two budget amounts, say $10,000 and $30,000, I suspect that the more expensive system would sound better than the less expensive system in every individual case. I would also suspe... | |
| what are you listening to lately? Have y'all heard Gus Black's Uncivilized Love? Wow !!! Very fine writing, melody and audio quality.Also Sue Foley (several, incl. Big City Blues), Lori Lieberman (Home of Whispers), Train (Drops of Jupiter), Jane's Addiction (Strays), Eva Cassidy ... |
