Talk but not walk?
amg56, glupson and others.To the question "Why keep engaging MG and his followers on this thread?" my response is: because I think it’s an important subject.And while many think "why bother, you won’t change anyone’s mind" that is often not the ca... 
Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers
kacomess,Good question!The only reason is that my past (admittedly very limited) encounters with Vandersteen speakers left me unmoved.  I remember auditioning one of their next-down-from-flagship speakers (or maybe it was their flagship) and anoth...

batmanfan,Yes my Thiel 3.7s are in the Morado finish!:-)But just so we are talking about the same thing: I’ve seen one or two people mix up the "Morado" finish with the Amberwood finish. Mine are in what Thiel called their Morado finish, which is ... 
Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers
ohlala,Interesting observations.  Thanks.As I mentioned, I did seem to find a bit of weird behaviour with the A3s as I tested different seating positions - nearer to them seemed to cause some weird spreading of some sounds.  But I can only infer s... 
Talk but not walk?
Prof, in my world, being able to condense complex ideas into simple language is a sign of knowledge and experience.More than that; it’s the sign of someone with the talent to do so. Plenty of knowledgeable people don’t condense complex ideas into ... 
Talk but not walk?
There you go again jf47t,Taking a page out of MG's book - instead of answering my posts or admitting I may have any point at all, you come in to toss another version of "you mad bruh?"MG teaches his disciples well, it seems.Who cares if Michael is... 
How To Field Questions About Your Audiophile Lifestyle...
hifiman5,You bring up a good distinction - one that is much more in the public air these days having been raised by studies of people’s happiness .I’ve briefly pondered it’s applicability to high end audio and can’t say I’ve come to a conclusion y... 
Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers
I was just out for a walk (live near the downtown of my city) and passed by some street musicians playing across the road.  I stopped to listen and enjoy the music but, good audiophile that I am, I also closed my eyes and took notice of the sound ... 
Talk but not walk?
grannyring,The confrontational posts continue to derail any hopes of this and others threads ever amounting to anything of real value. It’s already been pointed out to you: the topic, started by Michael, concerned people he claimed were faking it.... 
Talk but not walk?
jf471,MG is obviously free to make any other thread, or contribute in any other thread, as he in fact has already. Nobody is following him around this forum, and I have not directly interacted with him on any other thread. I have only stuck around... 
Talk but not walk?
This is causing you to troll tuning and myself.No, Michael, if anyone has trolled, you have trolled this forum.  And that is why it truly is worth trying to make sure this kind of stuff is called out.And unlike you who just throws that word out in... 
Thiel Owners
batmanfan,I've made numerous comparisons of my 2.7s vs my 3.7s in this thread and I'm presuming you've read them already (as you said you've read through the thread).Of course I empathize with the audiophile nag in the back of the mind "could I ha... 
How To Field Questions About Your Audiophile Lifestyle...
Wise words, geoffkait.  Agreed. 
Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers
trelja,Wise words.   But I wouldn't say this is an entirely rational adventure on my part.  Part scratching an itch, part adventure, part torture, part fun.jackd,I mentioned Verity earlier on this page.  Haven't heard anything new for a while now,... 
Talk but not walk?
glupson,It seems that for every thing that gets mentioned as a tweak/tuning there are two sides. One claims it is non-sense and cannot be true noticeable difference and the other side claims that the difference is noticeable.That’s actually the fa...
