| Thiel Owners Oh yeah, I've visited it before!The ongoing mystery has always been if the site is one big troll (not implausible given that seems to be Kait's modus operandi), vs anything serious. I think the site is mostly a troll, like many of Kait's comments... | |
| Thiel Owners brayeagle, I hear you on the 2.7s. I feel very sure I'm never selling mine (or not for a long time).Why do you suggest I google Geoff Kait? I'm pretty familiar with our ubiquitous, obstreperous forum member :) | |
| Thiel Owners Oh man, I was just reading an old review of the Thiel 3.7s, naturally a rave, and had this tinge of regret creeping over me. I had those speakers! They were incredible!But then I remember why I had to sell them. Yes, I HAD to sell them! (Must k... | |
| When people upgrade from Thiel As I've detailed in other threads, I've had to look for alternatives to my Thiel 3.7 speakers. It was very problematic. Almost nothing sounded as good, and I could not find anything I truly found an "upgrade" in many areas (one or two maybe, bu... | |
| Do speaker cables need a burn in period? I believe Blue Jeans cables use Belden. Correct. I bought a set of QED for not a lot more money than Blue Jeans cable but easily better considerably.So you had Belden cables and thought QED sounded better?It sure would be interesting to see if tho... | |
| How about a list of speakers that are time and phase coherent? Thiels and what else? kenjit,It’s not like you are bringing up a problem that designers of time/phase coherent speakers have never considered. Obviously, any good speaker designer going for time/phase coherence is going to design with those problems in mind. This is wh... | |
| Do speaker cables need a burn in period? @andy2,Cables are definitely worth the asking coins. Really? Is that an across the board statement? Are ethernet cables costing $10,000 (Audioquest) "worth the asking coins?" If so, why?Is the Siltech Emperor Crown cables at $40,000 "worth the coi... | |
| How about a list of speakers that are time and phase coherent? Thiels and what else? Some people may be fooled into thinking something like the Wilson Speakers would be mentioned in a list like this because they make a big deal of time-coherence with their stepped baffles or sloped design. But they aren’t (as I understand) time/ph... | |
| How about a list of speakers that are time and phase coherent? Thiels and what else? roberjerman,Are you sure about the 57s being time/phase coherent?I thought it wasn’t until the 63s that they became time/phase coherent, with the driver made in to delayed concentric rings. | |
| Do speaker cables need a burn in period? Prof was incarcerated for fighting the conspiracy.When you erect a monument in memory of my valorous fight, please get the likeness right - I look like a cross between prime era Clint Eastwood and Brad Pitt, if that helps ;-) | |
| PMC versus Wilson Audio usherzalegI don't know. I've only heard the PMC MB2 SE, and that was at audio shows. | |
| Do speaker cables need a burn in period? geoffkait: One can’t help wondering why in the world anyone would pursue this issue so strenuously, so verbosely, so relentlessly. ..........I’m serious. What drives these people? What a waste of time.Says the guy with 11,776 posts ;-)Many of them... | |
| Thiel Owners Tom,Heidegger! Yikes, a tough read!Yes, I love digging down in to assumptions, axioms. It's become a reflexive habit for me when proposing any claim or argument that I first check myself for special pleading and consistency, seeing as far as I ... | |
| Do speaker cables need a burn in period? andy2,Prof,There have been a lot of measurements been made. It’s called our "ears" and the data has been recorded by countless of listeners all over the world. Unless you call them all liars or you say our ears are not valid instruments.That is a ... | |
| Do speaker cables need a burn in period? taras22,Prof: " Do we just accept that any hypothesis can be floated, and then decided by appeal to subjective impressions? "taras22: Uhhhh, no. Then, your solution to the problems I posed is...?But throwing around claims gleaned from the applicat... |
