| YOUTUBE and Vinyl are gonna bankrupt me! I planned to move from my current squeezebox-based server to Roon, but that was slowed down by my dive in to vinyl which is taking much time away from my digital front end. I hope to try Roon soon. | |
| Accurate vs Musical @dawgbyte I might be able to help a bit.I’m a huge fan of Hales speakers, in particular the Transcendence line.I had the T-5 floor standing speakers for quite a while and later, when I switched my room around for home theater duty and didn’t have ... | |
| Listening Height Adjustment -- Is This Why Two People Don't Hear the Same? I'm always playing with acoustics, including listener height and position.Even just placing a small pillow behind my head alters the sound (focuses and brightens to some degree).In fact I suspect that at least some of the "component break in" phen... | |
| Thiel Owners Dan,You’re gonna get us kicked off this thread ;-)I’ve got another long thread going detailing my auditions of many speakers, often comparing against my Thiels. Most don’t fully hold up.I even preferred my Thiels to the latest Magical A3 speaker.I... | |

| Revel salon 2 break-in period? Hookay....if you believe you know better than a renowned expert in speakers/acoustics/listener perception, and whose careful scientific work formed the basis for the very speaker you own...so be it. (The very reason you like your speakers so much... | |
| Revel salon 2 break-in period? Well, you may want to consider the views of someone like Dr Sean Olive, who played major role in the scientific acoustic research at Harmon Kardon, and whose work informed the design of your Revel speakers.He was asked about speaker break-in and r... | |
| Monitor Audio Pl 300ii vs. KEF Reference 5 Boy high end audio brings out some interesting characters.I think we need to invoke an audiophile Poe's Law for certain...ahem...contributions. ^^^^;-) | |
| Narrowed to 3: 802D3, Sopra 3, Reference 3 Whoops, I meant to write: "I’m NOT trying to convince you otherwise."(Your anecdote about the a system "springing to life" after changing the Ethernet cable only adds to my skepticism about your other anecdotal experience with other cables. Having... | |
| Narrowed to 3: 802D3, Sopra 3, Reference 3 audiotroy,I’m not saying in your case that you are out to shaft people in selling cables. I see no reason to think you don’t honestly believe what you say about the performance of high end audiocables. And I’m trying to convince you otherwise.Your... |
