| How important is it for you to attain a holographic image? erik,I just find this so weird. My experience is different. Just a couple weeks ago I encountered two different small bands playing on the sidewalk in my city. One was acoustic guitar, stand up bass and a sax.Other was larger, drums, tuba, trumpet... | |
| Magico A3 james633I have the Thiel 2.7, which replaced my bigger Thiel 3.7.I'm curious: What are you looking for from the Magicos that you don't get from the Thiels? | |
| Thiel Owners rosami,I sold my 3.7s not too long ago and kept the 2.7s.There was no real way to make the 3.7s continue to work ergonomically in my room. I'm thankful that the 2.7s are so good I rarely miss the 3.7s. | |
| The awakening... I’ve been there.I was quite obsessive about high end audio through the 90’s and into the early 2000’s. Then I got in to home theater. I didn’t totally leave 2 channel listening behind, but my brain has room for only one obsession at a time. In my ... | |
| Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. Thanks atmosphere. (I'm still interested in ramtube's view as well).My room is on the smaller side: 15' x 13' wide and I listen at modest volume - typically 70 db to maybe 75, probably 90 at the most if I crank it more to listen from down the hal... | |
| Magico A3 I can't contribute the experience of an A3 owner. But FWIW from my own audition of the A3 in a dealer's home (purportedly a room that allowed for smooth bass response): I found the A3 bass to be very deep and not wanting for a subwoofer. But I ... | |
| Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. @ramtubesI could really use some help betting a better grasp of amplifier/speaker interaction. Specifically, in what sense a speaker is "easy to drive" for an amplifier.This seems to generally relate to two parameters:1. Speaker sensitivity2. Spea... | |
| Why Power Cables Affect Sound nonoise,Happy to answer your question.My coworkers have a variety of viewpoints on audio. Some are what I might characterize as "hard nosed engineer" types and others are audiophiles - and somewhat subjectivist - in their spare time. (E.g. they wo... | |
| Why Power Cables Affect Sound Elizabeth wrote:I know it is annoying to listen to the drivel they spout.Again...the emotion. This tendency to insult. Why is this such a feature of those who are so wedded to the most subjective side of the hobby? They just can’t seem to stand th... | |
| Why Power Cables Affect Sound nonoise,You are yet again whacking a strawman - repeating the same misrepresentations and fallacies as you have before in these conversations. Your last paragraph especially displays this. (Nothing I have written entails the wholesale abandonment... | |
| Why Power Cables Affect Sound I'm not the one who introduced the term "placebo" and would not - as I had clearly stated - simply attributed either real audible results or imagined audio results to the "placebo effect." As I keep mentioning, we suffer a range of perceptual bia... | |
| Why Power Cables Affect Sound @mkgus,I think nonoise is getting upset with you because you are denying his very reality without having any experience with it via sitting in a arm chair 500 miles away removed from his situation and then going on to cite how fallable the mind is... | |
| Why Power Cables Affect Sound nonoiseWhy do reasonable questions upset you?Why do you think it’s perfectly fine that you declare to the crowd that you KNOW your position is correct and that you know you exhibit no bias effect when evaluating cables. Yet if your claim is at all... | |
| Spatials = Done for now! Wonderful to read that you are so happy with your new purchase.It is wise to have chosen the phrase “done for NOW.”No one could trust an audiophile who said “just got new speakers and I’ll be satisfied for life with them!” ;-) | |
| Why Power Cables Affect Sound nonoiseThe only scientific evidence I can steer you to is empirically derived: People who go to psychics also have "empirically derived" conclusions.They experienced the fact the psychic simply knew things about them that the purported psychic "c... |
