| LOUNDSPEAKER FOR $10,000.00 PER PAIR audiotroy,I believe you’ve made those statements about omnis before, and my reply this time will be similar.As for "love/hate" thing, I’ve rarely (actually never) encountered someone who hated my omnis, and rarely seen anyone state a hate for omni... | |
| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? elizabeth,This may come as a shock, but what is "drivel" to you is not drivel to other people. Other people are not you, they have other interests and experience you may not have. You might want to consider that when asking to have "binned" a thre... | |
| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? cleeds,Quite so. The ear is rather insensitive to absolute level. But the ear/brain system is much more adept at detecting relative differences in level. That’s why the value of quick-switching is not nearly as great as prof’s argument suggests.Cl... | |
| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? taras22,So how is it that we can recognize voices that we haven’t heard for a while, say even decades....and even on lowest common denominator transducers like telephones, and in noisy environments where voice articulation is several notches be... | |
| LOUNDSPEAKER FOR $10,000.00 PER PAIR Whenever I've listened to Golden Ear speakers I come away with the same impression: Impressive amount of very competent sound for the money. But nothing "special," no "it" factor at all that moves me very much when listening. Just...you know..... | |
| Thiel Owners Great stuff Tom, thanks!I’ve been saying since I got my 2.7s a year ago that the 3.7s sounded a little bit more revealing. (And spacious, and a bit more even).One thing that really surprised me about the 2.7s is the dynamics. I’m using Conrad John... | |
| if I buy an ultrasonic cleaner for my records will I be able to hear the difference? I know you are looking for input from people who own an US cleaner, but that said, cleeds post makes a lot of sense!(I've ordered the Degritter US cleaner, hopefully to arrive this fall, and I'm really looking forward to trying it out. It will be... | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers Thanks keithr,I can see what you mean.However, I believe my dealer does not stock the 9s. And I think if I were going Devore I’d prefer the extra richness of the O series. | |
| Thiel Owners That’s really interesting insight, Tom. As to possibly different design decisions made by that newer 2.7 team, I’ve posted earlier in this thread, Philip Bamberg who worked on the 2.7 design had posted in another forum:Philip Bamberg: I can vouch... | |
| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? You’re playing word games, or perhaps you are just profoundly confused. No, cleeds, I’m being very specific about in what context in which the word "fail" can be, and is, used by researchers. So the FDA is also "profoundly confused?" when they use... | |
| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? cleeds,You are simply ignoring the relevant details I supplied in my replies.You’re being silly. The purpose of a drug trial is to test the efficacy of a treatment. It’s not to test the patient. I’d put the word "fail" in context when talking of s... | |
| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? taras22,So your bluff was called. You sought to dazzle with a technical 23-year-old Stereophile article, the relevance of which to my points you can't be bothered to demonstrate. So all you have to fall back on is personal insults again. If y... | |
| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? taras22,My goodness, firing the personal insults at full blast! Is this going continue to be your modus operandi? Maybe you don’t care, but whatever titillation comments like those may bring you, it makes it harder to take your posts seriously. Yo... | |
| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? taras22,Anecdotes from your days selling audio gear do not constitute a refutation of what cd318 wrote. (Selling! And we are to assume no bias may have entered the demonstration scenario to influence an outcomes benefiting the store?) Not that I’... | |
| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? cleeds,A listener can’t "fail" a listening test - that’s a common misnomer about scientific listening tests. Did you notice the word was in quotes? That indicates it’s use was qualified - used advisedly - in this case a short-form term for not pro... |
