| blue jeans cable? I have bought many speaker cables from BlueJeans Cable. Their no-BS-pseudo-scientific-sounding claims are such a breath of fresh air given what one encounters in much of the audiophile cable industry. Much of which comes off like some cynical p... | |
| Thiel Owners Well, as of late yesterday, my big ol’ Thiel 3.7s are now gone. Shipped away to some other happy fellow.I’d advertised for local pick up, got the usual bunch of replies from honestly interested to flaky. One fellow said he wanted them for sure, wa... | |
| Narrowed to 3: 802D3, Sopra 3, Reference 3 Our golden rule on cabling is that cabling should be 30% of a systems overall budget. Well that rule sounds great for salesemen. Not so sure the consumer ought to buy in to it. | |
| Monitor Audio Platinum or Magico A3 sceincecop's posts remind me of why many of us don't buy speakers strictly on measurements. ;-) | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers No real update as an unexpected financial situation put a kink in my plans to purchase the new speakers immediately. Hopefully I can buy a pair within the next month or two.I’m still inclined toward the Joseph speakers, but I can drive myself craz... | |
| Wide dispersion + high efficiency + detail + coherence in a speaker? atmosphere,That sounds like a heck of a speaker. I've only heard one or two of the Classic Audio speakers at shows and enjoyed what I heard. If I had the space I would definitely have tried out horn speakers by now, but they just don't fit at a... | |
| YG Acoustics, Raihdo? audiothesis,Thanks for the heads up. Maybe some day. Never seen a dealer for those, and they look out of my price range.Though the ribbon tweeter thing to me is similar to the hybrid electrostatics. For years and years I've read reviews of el... | |
| Wilson Audio Sabrina . . . I'm smitten. Should I consider others? kcpellethead,Don’t forget if you aren’t happy with the Perspective’s sound at first (tonal balance or whatever) to experiment with seating distance, spread, toe in etc.Due to their crossover/driver design, they remain very coherent even up close s... | |
| The Absolute Sound vs Stereophile stevecham,I also miss those days in the 90's when Stereophile was thick as heck and the read lasted a long time!Dem were da days. | |
| if I buy an ultrasonic cleaner for my records will I be able to hear the difference? rrmThe original price of the Degritter was just over 2,000 Euros. I don't know if it will cost the same, less, or more once production starts (and they are producing the first batch now).I got in on the orders before they closed and I'm expecting... | |
| Wilson Audio Sabrina . . . I'm smitten. Should I consider others? kcpellethead,I’m looking forward to your view of the JA Perspective speakers. I believe I’ll be ordering a pair soon after an extensive bunch of speaker auditioning. But then, they fit the criteria I’m juggling, one of which is to downsize from a ... | |
| Wilson Audio Sabrina . . . I'm smitten. Should I consider others? @sciencecopHa, love the screenname! If you’d read some of my input into other threads, e.g. my giving the skeptical case in the cables forum, you’d see people probably think I ought to have your screen name :-) If you think I’m arguing that measur... | |
| Wilson Audio Sabrina . . . I'm smitten. Should I consider others? sciencecop,Sure, the Devores don’t measure as linear as some other speakers. (Though not as bad as some either). But....Note that even JA after measuring and then listening in his place, stated:Even though I knew about the low-treble resonance and... | |
| Wilson Audio Sabrina . . . I'm smitten. Should I consider others? kcpellethead,FWIW: I've auditioned the Devore speakers numerous times now, and have found that the right distance is pretty critical. I have to be 8 feet back at least, at which point they snap in to focus both tonally, coherence, and soundstagin... | |
| Wilson Audio Sabrina . . . I'm smitten. Should I consider others? @kcpelletheadYou haven't mentioned yet: What did you think of your audition of the Devore speakers?It's been a while since I heard the Magico S3, but having auditioned a bunch of speakers lately I personally preferred the Devore 0/96 and 0/93 to... |
