| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? Geoff,I honestly can't get a hold on whether you are a mad genius scientist or a total loon. But what I do know is that you are a MASTER troll. And I love that!The fact that these other people keep engaging with you is total entertainment. BTW, go... | |
| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? Agear:" I myself would approach it this way:invite Deepak Chopra and Rupert Sheldrake (what a name) over. I would have them sit in a circle on chairs isolated by springs (like something out of Austin Powers....yeah baby!) and around us would be ... | |
| Cost of a new Beryllium tweeter? You'll have to ask your dealer.Those tweeters have to be handled properly. And any damaged tweets have to be sent back in replacement for new ones. Beryllium has the potential to be toxic, which is why there are special directions for replacing th... | |
| Are audiophile speakers turn on for single women? Never really could tell what they thought of my stereo.They usually end up walking past my hot tub just to get to it.So, uh, they're mind is pretty much occupied by the time we get to the stereo.Not that I really mind......... | |
| Dunlavy SC4 Speakers Every model made by Dunlavy that carries the "SC" in it's name is "Signature". That's what the S stands for! Dunlavy changed a few drivers on various models over the years but the only one significant enough, according to him, to warrant a differe... | |
| What are the differences in Tweeter materials? The main confusion with the soft dome tweeters is the misunderstanding of terms.SOFT simply means what it says, soft, as opposed to hard.TEXTILE simply means fabric. Ie. the industry that deals with the materials used in clothing is known as the T... | |
| Old vs New Magnepan 1.7 vs Tympani IV I know a guy who acquired a pair of the Tympani IV. Myself and another friend overhauled them with premium crossover parts and wiring for the guy. We've since compared them to everything from the 1.6/1.7 to the 3.6/3.7 to the 20s. There is no ques... | |
| Evolution Acoustics MMMicroOne Today I stumbled upon an interesting article penned by Gary Koh, chief dude at Genesis. I'm posting it here for the benefit of all those curious about the stand discussion above. Gary does a very good job of explaining, in layman's terms, what is ... | |
| Calling all Dunlavy Gurus I understand all that you have said, Opus88. But these changes were not something that John made a point of differentiating. It's not, as you implied, what made them "Signature". All of the models were always known as "Signature Collection". It wo... | |
| Calling all Dunlavy Gurus Incidentally, in response to the original post, the most comprehensive source of information on the web concerning Dunlavy speakers can be found at the link below.It started off as a thread specifically comparing just one Dunlavy model to a pair o... | |
| Calling all Dunlavy Gurus The entire line of speakers, from the SC-I through the SC-VI were "Signature". That's what the "SC" stood for in the entire line.... "Signature Collection"The only variant from this was the SC-IV versus the IVa, where the IVa was considered a diff... | |
| Evolution Acoustics MMMicroOne This discussion is starting to go a little circular. So let me just correct a couple things from my perspective and then just leave it be. We don't need to end up arguing.So, first, I never said that stands don't sound different. Of course they do... | |
| Evolution Acoustics MMMicroOne You are right that steel stores much of the energy of its resonance but wrong in saying that a steel stand is like a "rock" when filled with sand, etc. Many rocks, such as granite ring also. Actually, I am right. At least as far as the stands I u... | |
| Evolution Acoustics MMMicroOne Well, I didn't want to hi-jack this thread. But perhaps this stand discussion will be useful to EA owners.Anyway, my "experience" isn't really all that significant. Many years ago I used a stand from a company whose name I can't even remember. But... | |
| Evolution Acoustics MMMicroOne Tbg,Thanks for sharing your experiences. I am familiar with the LSA stands. I assembled a pair for a friend of mine. They are nice looking. And the fact that they come with the filler is kinda cool. But I would hardly consider them a "Solid" stand... |
