| Cable Burn In n80There is a lot of dubious "wisdom" in the audiophile world.You’ll hear people claiming "break in" is required for literally everything to sound right...even an equipment rack, or a set of isolation feet for your component. It’s a sort of self-p... | |
| Thiel Owners brayeagle,Same here. That's why I own more than one speaker. (Too many, probably, and I'm looking to add another, but can't help myself...) | |
| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? calvinj,So, really, you just find the actual debate to be outside your interest. In other words, you are fundamentally incurious about the very subject you started a thread on. That is just really odd. (Of course it can also be explained by you... | |
| Thiel Owners brayeagle,I play practically every type of music on my system, jazz, rock, fusion, electronica, soundtracks, classical, country, folk, world music, choral, you name it.Sometimes I ride the volume for the comfort of my ears (I do have to watch clas... | |
| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? @calvinjElizabeth I understand all I see is. Lot of blah blah blah I hope you won't mind answering these questions: What exactly where you expecting when you started this thread, if it's different than how the discussion turned out?What would coun... | |
| Thiel Owners ronkent,Nice analogy. I agree the 3.7s do majesty. I always felt they never had me wanting for a larger speaker/bigger sound because they sounded so big!I’ve been happily surprised at how large the 2.7s can sound as well. Never as large as the 3.7... | |
| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? ^^^ Which invokes the old saw:"If you can’t argue the facts, attack the messenger!" | |
| 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. |
