| Clear difference between Harbeth 30.2 & Super HL5 Plus? rja,I listened fairly extensively to the Harbeth line before I decided at one point to get the Harbeth Super HL5plus.I think the HL5plus is an amazing speaker (and I disagree with geek101 on this: I think they are quite neutral! In fact, they are... | |
| Thiel Owners Wow, only 3!And to think how many more Thiel may have sold if it where an authentic Thiel design - say if they had sent Stereophile the 2.7 instead. (Not saying, at that point in time in the company’s fortunes that the 2.7 would have sold bucket-l... | |
| Thiel Owners Tom,It’s helpful to read what you wrote about my turntable base. It represents the ideas I vaguely grasped while putting together the base, so it’s nice to see it gain some confirmation from a pro.I’ve always been curious how many of the post-Jim ... | |
| Speakers positionning I've always preferred the sound of a speaker closer to straight ahead, rather than toed in (or with very slight toe-in). I generally find this produces a smoother, more filled out sound, more dimensional soundstage, etc. With decent off axis per... | |
| Thiel Owners beetlemania,Thanks.Yes the 2.7 was reviewed in a number of magazines, in the USA, Europe and Asia.Some here:https://hometheaterhifi.com/reviews/speaker/floor-standing/thiel-cs2-7-floorstanding-speaker/Absolute sound (made the cover):http://www.hif... | |
| Thiel Owners This subject reminds me of my turntable base.I did a loooong thread detailing my flailing layman attempts to create an isolation base for my 55lb aluminum transrotor turntable. It was fascinating investigating, to the extent I could, the vibratio... | |
| Thiel Owners Interesting Tom, thanks. I thought it might be MDF.It made me wonder what a "baffle" mod might look like. What comes to mind (for someone like he who has never designed a speaker and hence is naive bout it), is simply re-enforcing the existing M... | |
| Am I hearing things (you don't) ???? I wonder where firstnot disappeared to? | |
| Thiel Owners @tomthielSomewhere way back in the thread we discussed the design of the 2.7 vs the 3.7. I’d remarked that the 3.7 seemed to have an edge in a slightly more open and subtle level of detail. I believe you said this might be attributed to the fact t... | |
| Am I hearing things (you don't) ???? geoffkait,Yes I'm rather a bit sensitive about this issue. These are quite serious for some people (including me right now). Your remark, clearly one of your usual digs at people's hearing perception of the type you always throw up in the contro... | |
| Am I hearing things (you don't) ???? Trust geoffkait to show up and troll even a thread devoted to hearing health.D'ya ever think of taking a break? Maybe try buying a puppy? | |
| Am I hearing things (you don't) ???? Oh, I see. Yes it’s understandable to not want to feel one is exposing too much.It does feel a bit odd to talk about "hearing health" issues on an audiophile board. Some people could possibly be d*cks and try to put a negative spin on that.But the... | |
| Am I hearing things (you don't) ???? Geeze..who is making posts that have to be removed, in a thread on this subject??? | |
| New owner of totem wind Sounds great.Looks like you are so busy listening you didn't have time for paragraphs.;-) | |
| Am I hearing things (you don't) ???? Interesting, andolink.My tinnitus can be astonishingly loud. Sometimes if I'm in silence, like lying in bed, it can give me the impression I'm at a Van Halen concert where feedback is just being pumped out at "11."Which makes it all the more rema... |
