| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers Apropos of my speaker blathering, Stereophile actually has binaural recordings for both the Devore and the Joseph speakers.I’ve always been intrigued at how even video camera microphones actually capture *some* sense of a speaker’s sound (especial... | |
| Thiel Owners Ok, jafant....I just can not read your last line up of posts and not think of a previous quip someone had made. Along those lines, if your current source of employment dries up I think you can slip easily into another similar gig:https://www.job-a... | |
| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? rbstehno,I don’t think you quite got the point I had made.The first is that, whatever amazing detail you EVER get through the most expensive, best audiophile cables you can buy - all that will ever tell you is about the sound quality that was pass... | |
| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? So essentially calvinj has shown, repeatedly, that he really just created this thread to troll people who are more skeptical than he is about cables. Elizabeth also was happy enough to enter this thread and "alienate another audiophile" and "drive... | |
| YOUTUBE and Vinyl are gonna bankrupt me! rbstehno,I've actually found that most of the music I end up liking on youtube can be found on vinyl. And that includes almost every new artist/new album, whether it's alt-pop, electronic, jazz, smooth-vibe jazz etc. It seems to me almost every... | |
| YOUTUBE and Vinyl are gonna bankrupt me! What are "hot stamper" records? | |
| Thiel Owners FWIW:I had a very long run for my speaker cables (my source equipment is in a different room) so I went with Belden 5T00UP 10 awg cable (bought from Blue Jeans cable). The specs were excellent and just what I needed for long speaker cables witho... | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers mapman,Thanks for the Ohm Walsh comment, and audition offer. I know I've heard Ohm Walsh speakers once before, a looong time ago, so it's just a vague memory. My MBL 121 omnis do a similar kind of thing - the MBLs are spectacular within their fr... | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers fsconicsmith,That’s a great description of the Devore speakers, thanks!That’s pretty much what I heard. They pull off the tricky combo of being thick and rich, but not dark, but rather light, airy and fast in the upper mids.And boy I love synth st... | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers atmasphere,Thanks for the input and info. I read the link; really interesting.I admit I remain skeptical about an ESL that doesn’t exhibit the ghostly quality I mention, just because I’ve been listening to them since the 90’s - I’ve heard the soun... | |
| YOUTUBE and Vinyl are gonna bankrupt me! Dear goodness, drmemory62! I took a look at Better Records, saw the prices on the first page and immediately closed the browser window out of fright.Nope. Not gonna go that far. | |
| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? Well gosh, if a group wants a discussion among folks who only want to discuss differences in cables they think they hear, with others of the same mind set, by all means do so and have fun. Just call it something other than "DO CABLES MAKE A DIFFER... | |
| Thiel Owners Well, I used to swap more often than I do currently. Maybe once a month or so. And previous to that I used to do it almost every night. That's because I used to use my home theater (Hales) speakers for two channel as well. So I had speaker wir... | |
| Thiel Owners BTW, as someone who has numerous speakers, spade connectors drive me nuts. I much prefer bananas for the ease of use. | |
| Thiel Owners Yeah I know 70 db should be no problem for any decent speaker. As I mentioned I do like to crank it more when I'm listening from a distance, so that's when I have to watch it. Though the Thiels are so clean, and have such punch, it's hard not to... |
