| Thiel Owners Thanks for all that illuminating insight Tom!I no longer have the 3.7s, but when I did, as I've written before, my comparisons suggested the 3.7s were the somewhat more accomplished speaker in terms of over all perfection, no doubt due to Jim's ov... | |
| Thiel Owners @tomtheilI’m curious what you know about the design process for the 2.7s after Jim was gone.The fellow who was brought in to help design the 2.7, worked on the crossovers at least I believe, said that Thiel was obviously very demanding that he get... | |
| Ultrasonic cleaning before and after Nice to read. Thanks.I'll be receiving my first record cleaner within the next couple of weeks - it's the Degritter ultra sonic record cleaner. Can't wait! I've built up a lot of records to clean. | |
| Do you listen to equipment or music. One must spend years listening to the equipment, until they get it right; I spent time listening to "speaker wire" and then I went from there to "interconnects",...Wow. That sounds like drudgery. But, to each his own. | |
| Do you listen to equipment or music. brucenitroxproI'm afraid most of you didn't get the memo... it's ALL about the music.Apparently you missed the memo too, or did you not notice you joined a web site devoted to audio equipment? | |
| Do you listen to equipment or music. @grekon39Now that 90% of my listening is from streaming on Tidal, I find myself listening to only part of a particular track, then move on to the next one. When I was spinning vinyl, I would listen to at least one side of an album, then with CDs I... | |
| CD Got Absolutely Crushed By Vinyl @tweak1In case your last post isn't a joke.......I'm glad to see someone so open minded.I have many items I can sell as well if you are interested. A ball of special yarn that when placed on your digital source will open up the soundstage, guaran... | |
| Beyond the sound of things, and into the soul of things. orpheus,I know you weren’t going all woo-woo and were reporting a real experience. I’ve compared some of my best digital albums with their vinyl counterpart, and preferred the vinyl.And of course a different technology can result in a different so... | |
| Coherent speakers from Canada I remember hearing the Coherent Audio room at the last TAVES where a teeny speaker was demonstrated. It put out a rather amazingly potent, punchy and clear sound for such a small speaker. I was intrigued. Never heard the big speakers, though. | |
| Beyond the sound of things, and into the soul of things. orpheusI also luxuriate in the sound of good vinyl at home. And believe me I can write swooning words about the experience as well...as I often have. But I also enjoy digital. A Hi-Res download is from the Master-Tape, and should be close to ident... | |
| CD Got Absolutely Crushed By Vinyl rauliruegasDear analog and digital lovers: For we can truly enjoy the MUSIC in any home audio system that room/audio system needs to be a FULL range audio room/ system.Please remember when you are speaking for yourself, rather than declaring thi... | |
| CD Got Absolutely Crushed By Vinyl @sleepwalker65You know that digital does not record the entire analog waveform right? Actually, in practice, it does capture the entire waveform. It simply does it differently than analog.It’s like saying "You know a FLAC file doesn’t capture the ... | |
| CD Got Absolutely Crushed By Vinyl bsmg,Keep in mind: I'm a huge fan of vinyl!I think my analogy of the digital generated voice versus the recorded human voice stands on its merits. I've been recording the human voice (and countless other sounds) on analog and then digital recorde... | |
| CD Got Absolutely Crushed By Vinyl bsmg,I know exactly how digital works.No, you very clearly do not, as you continue to repeat the oldest myth in the book.For goodness sake, learn something about it instead of repeating misinformation. Here's an easy explanation:http://productiona... | |
| CD Got Absolutely Crushed By Vinyl Once again, analog is a REAL TIME REPRESENTATION OF A MUSICAL PERFORMANCE. Digital is an approximation of the same. Get it?What in the world does that mean?Both digital and analog can be representations of a musical performance and both are an app... |
