| Make way for the future.... Would be curious to hear one. Like the aesthetic of it. Harkens back to the A&R Cambridge A60 with the wooden side panel, black front. The “all in one’s” of their time. | |
| Why Do So Many Audiophiles Reject Blind Testing Of Audio Components? @jssmith Doesn’t surprise me to hear that was their findings.Would think that the most familiar “sounds” coming from speakers would be the ones people would connect to. Wonder if they were “civilians” in the tests? | |
| Why Do So Many Audiophiles Reject Blind Testing Of Audio Components? Measurements have real value, of that there is no doubt. I want to know how much power my speakers can handle, so I don’t destroy them. I want to know the sensitivity of my speaker to get an idea of how much power I’m going to need to drive them t... | |
| Wilson Audio Specialties Chronosonic XVX loudspeaker!! only $300,000.oo @highend666 Thank you for the link. Loved the part where he writes about the craftsmen who build these make a proper living. Also love his acknowledgment of what goes into the back end of building - never mind designing - a speaker of this caliber... | |
| I'm here for the sharing, not the snobery For me, one of the big benefits from reading the discussions, is when people share their first hand experiences with gear. Be that a component or a tweak. Something they tried, how they felt it worked for them and if it was worth the effort, or $$... | |
| Why Do So Many Audiophiles Reject Blind Testing Of Audio Components? It's not possible to look for accuracy in a recording when reproducing what was created in the studio.Who knows how they wanted a voice to sound, a piano, a saxophone or guitar etc.The room is going to color the sound matter what you do.Sure, you ... | |
| Wilson Audio Specialties Chronosonic XVX loudspeaker!! only $300,000.oo @edgewound Haha"Nope. Just exposing who you really are."By attaching my name to something I didn’t say and that wasn’t directed at me?Thats clever. | |
| Why Do So Many Audiophiles Reject Blind Testing Of Audio Components? Blind tests would need to happen instantly. But not in a backhand forth manner. Rather, after having listened to something for days, it would need to be switched instantly to something else. If there was a difference, you would know it. That is if... | |
| Wilson Audio Specialties Chronosonic XVX loudspeaker!! only $300,000.oo @edgewound Nice cut and paste job.Clumsy attempt to alter the narrative? | |
| Wilson Audio Specialties Chronosonic XVX loudspeaker!! only $300,000.oo @edgewound. Really, you are asking that? Such a dumb question I guess you have never changed or upgraded to something you felt was better or that somehow suited your musical tastes better?And since when, was a hobby about clever investments? | |
| Wilson Audio Specialties Chronosonic XVX loudspeaker!! only $300,000.oo @phusis There are a couple of folks here who prescribe to the master/slave mentality. They think the ones at the top, don’t work.Hot news flash. They work, very hard. And all of the ones I have met, and know, are extremely curious individuals. The... | |
| Math + Logic + Science = something completely mad... "Here is the really funny thing for me. On here, I am considered this uber objectivist. When I deal with my technical colleagues, I am a bit of a pariah, because I always relate things back to subjective experience, and take a different more human... | |
| When did you most enjoy the music? Oh, forgot to answer :)I enjoy music much more now than I ever have.When I was young, I was a pretty lustful creature. I like to think that lustful pursuit of "whatever" has been replaced with a more measured "love" based experience of life.I thin... | |
| What is an audiophile? Are you an audiophile? If, we want to listen to music in our home, and we are unable to bring in people to perform, then we require a system of some kind to be able to do that. Some, don't give a flying what that is played on - iPhone speaker.Some, care what that is pla... | |
