| 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... | |
| Are you as OCD as this audiophile? I am loathe to throw stones as I certainly can obsess like any other audiophile.That said, no I'm not OCD as that guy...at least not in the same direction.And when I see the super tweaky lengths many audiophiles go to in their system I'm glad I'm ... | |
| Am I hearing things (you don't) ???? @firstnotYes, I share your experience.It’s called "hyperacusis." A collapsed tolerance of sound, where sounds not normally perceived as "loud" by other people are perceived as loud by you. And usually this tends to occur in certain frequency range... | |
| Curious what people think is the best "value" high end speaker (~5K to 15K) @firstnotWhat did you think of the speakers in your list? | |
| JBL 4319...The Big Easy One reason I'm intrigued by JBL speakers is due to watching so many of the great KENRICK SOUND videos on youtube. As this article states:"Kenrick Sound is world famous for restoring and modifying legendary loudspeakers. The firm specializes in JB... | |
| JBL 4319...The Big Easy Excellent nonoise, thanks!I'd love to experience listening to a JBL speaker like that one. I'm sure it would do some things that my own speakers don't do as well. Ultimately for me such a speaker is never meant to be in my room - both in terms o... | |
| Accuracy vs. musicality jhills,Fascinating.My impressions of the Raidho monitors vs the Gershman speakers I've heard was precisely the reverse of yours.The Raidho sound actually has a reputation for not being in the "strictly accurate/neutral" school of design. They de... | |
| Thiel Owners Tom,Thanks for the link to that strata-gee article.Your previous post is now making some sense ;-)I'd followed all those strata-gee articles documenting the decline of Thiel as it happened. It was great that there was a writer interested in foll... | |
| Switching between 2 amps , 1 set of speakers? Douglas,I’m wondering: What experience do you have with switchers such as the ones linked to in this thread, or others? Or or do you mostly avoid them on priciple? | |
| Thiel Owners Tom,Also...after the Hale Transcendence 8's Paul built a new interesting looking flagship speaker, the Alexandra (or Alexandria), which can be seen down the page in this old CES 99 report:http://www.enjoythemusic.com/wces99/speakers.htmThe few peo... |
