| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? geoffkait,Not to mention negative results of double blinds tests signify nothing. Sure geoff.That's why if you come to the FDA proposing to sell a new drug treatment, and your blinded clinical trial results were all negative for showing efficacy, ... | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers markalarsen,Ok, now I have to know: what music did you listen to that I might hate?I can think of only one type of music that I hate :-) | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers @shardorne,I was never a fan of the B&W sound, especially back in the 90’s when they started their lower lines with those hideous kevlar drivers. If any speaker could define the derisive term "hi-fi" those would be it, IMO.So I was very surpri... | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers dspringham,Yup, I'm known among my audiophile buddies as being able to out obsess them all, particularly when it comes to replacing speakers.(Not so much other gear). I experiment buying used speakers over the years, but when I'm really serious I... | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers dspringham,I had been meaning to do an update. Yup, my Thiel 3.7s are up for sale.Here’s the story:I went back and listened to the Devore 93s again at length. When I first started playing tracks on the 93s it sounded really nice, but it wasn’t doi... | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers shadorne,The ATCs were mentioned a bit earlier in the thread, a few posts up.They don't fit the bill for what I'm looking for, unfortunately. | |
| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? ron1319,That sounds like fun!Though so long as your helper knows she's switching cables (or not) the test isn't double blind. But still, the results will be interesting to hear about. (Double blind tests for various equipment can be quite hard ... | |
| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? cd318,It’s always struck me as telling that audiophiles/reviewers/cable manufacturers will describe these awesome so-obvious-you-are-deaf-if-you-can’t-hear-it changes made by a given cable.But when you ask people to identify the cable when they ar... | |
| Thiel Owners dcancastagna,I don’t have a slp-05.But I do have a lot of equipment - all my home theater source equipment on one rack, and beside it all my 2 channel equipment (which include Conrad Johnson Premier 16LS2 pre-amp, Conrad Johnson mono block tube am... | |
| Do IC and Power Cables Really Make a Difference? spent an additional $9000 on just interconnectsWhew!Far be it from me to say you shouldn't spend money on what makes you happy.But when I read such things I'm very glad high end cables are not part of my audio obsession. I look at $9,000 spent o... | |
| Thiel Owners dancastagna,Why do you think you need power conditioners? Is that perhaps something your dealer is telling you because he sells power conditioners? Dealers aren't always the best consultants on how to spend your money :)Maybe make sure you look ... | |
| If You Like Funk: Check Out Vulfpeck Great thread!I’ve been a massive funk fan for as long as I can remember (even played for many years in a funk/disco tribute band 16 members strong, 5 singers, full horn section...man that was fun!).Anyway, I like funky music of every description, ... | |
| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? Ok teo, Your previous post about Einstein and death threats was completely irrelevant. (And you’ll find a similar post to the one you made in virtually every pseudo-science forum. "They called X scientist crazy too, you know! Critiques of X claim ... | |
