| What's the deal with the Machina Dynamica Clock? Freemand, my feet are on very solid ground. You can guess million times, it proves nothing. What control did you use? Did your wife switch between clocks and something else? I'm guessing not.Could you not hear your wife open the door when she pu... | |
| To tube, or not to tube, that is the question Djh, give Totem a call and ask them what amps they recommend. I use 88db sensitive speaker with a 12wpc SE tube amp, but my speakers are designed to be used with tube amps and have both a high nominal impedance and a benign impedance curve.Many sp... | |
| What's the deal with the Machina Dynamica Clock? I explained how I proved that this thing does work and it was not because I wanted it to.So funny. Freemand, you guessing where your wife places little clocks does not constitute proof that the clocks work. You merely demonstrating an overactive... | |
| Audiophiles vs DIY-o-philes +++ DIY'ers always say their stuff is superior to the stuff from the mainstream manufacturers. +++And more than often they are correct. I have tweaked a few components for friends and they were all amazed at the difference. I once spent less $10... | |
| Awaiting my Mayware F4 MKll , from england Hi AlexYou actually need a very high compliance cart with the Mayware.Not sure what your budget is, but I used a Shure M97XE on a Mayware and it really worked great.RegardsPaul | |
| Acoustic Sound Treatment Rives, where does diffusion fit in? Does one consider a wall treated with diffusors as dead or live?Reason I am asking, I have had some very unsatisfactory result when treating my back wall with diffusors. The same diffusors on the front wall (beh... | |
| the smoothest sounding speaker Dont think a smooth speaker will help much. CD give ear fatigue mostly due to the fact that the music is very compressed. Another gent on the forum posted this http://spectrum.ieee.org/aug07/5429 . It is quite an interesting read.RegardsPaul | |
| Maple or Granite Hi Glory, my experience is exactly the same as yours. I went from a maple butcher block to granite. I get the most incredible detail from my system but I now hear sibilance on some vocals. If you do get a nice compromise, please post on the forum.... | |
| Do we believe in Machina Dynamics? Is there anybody on the thread that doesnt think Norm is a total ass? Dude, go rent a date or something ... | |
| Do we believe in Machina Dynamics? Hi OzzyNo, I am not going to flame you and I am glad the brilliant pebbles work for you. From Geoffs white paper, I see said pebbles absorb a wide range of audio signals and RFI and EMI signals. (It also eludes that RFI and EMI signals act like lo... | |
| Do we believe in Machina Dynamics? Hey Jeffrey, best is to simply ignore Norm. He has zero technical knowledge, so there is absolutely nothing to learn from him. Seemingly his political science background has given him ample training spinning the facts, insulting others and cloudin... | |
| Do we believe in Machina Dynamics? Freemand, in a prior response to you I submitted a plausible factual based argument why power cords can work. This is not to 'hammer' you, to coin your phrase, but simply to illustrate that the notion that workable tweak must somehow contradict sc... | |
| Do we believe in Machina Dynamics? The power of Placebo"Doctors in one study successfully eliminated warts by painting them with a brightly colored, inert dye and promising patients the warts would be gone when the color wore off. In a study of asthmatics, researchers found that th... | |
| Do we believe in Machina Dynamics? Freemand +++ Why does a $2000 dollar power cord make any difference in improving the sound +++ A power cable can filter out RFI and EMI out of the power source, which results in a cleaner B+ voltage on the rails. That leads to better sound reprodu... | |
| Do we believe in Machina Dynamics? Agreed punkuk. Anybody that thinks a telephone call can improve his sound has zero credibility and does not belong in the audio community. Their lack of intellect is an insult to all of us.RegardsPaul |
