| What Matters and What is Nonsense tattooedtrackman,Well....that depends on what you mean by "opinion."Sure any individual is going to be motivated by and care most about his own opinion. But it's good to remember that "having an opinion" doesn't make that opinion true. There are... | |
| What Matters and What is Nonsense Agreed, glupson. I don’t see what is gained by broadening the term "tweak" to encompass everything, because doing that makes the word "tweak" meaningless. My son just "tweaked" by turning his iphone music on. But I can tell you: he ain’t no audiop... | |
| Thiel Owners ^^^ Thanks for the added info. | |
| What Matters and What is Nonsense I’ll just take some issue here:The electronics - preamp and amp / 4 / the amount of money wasted on $5,000 preamps and amps is amazing."wasted" is of course subjective and depends on the value anyone puts on something.My current pre-amp, a Conrad ... | |
| Thiel Owners Oh, right, I forgot that the new crossovers would be outboard. That would almost certainly rule them out for me. | |
| What Matters and What is Nonsense duckworp,Whether all DACs sound the same or not (and I think many that some presume sound different may not actually be distinguishable when you don't know which you are listening to).......I think it's certainly defensible that DAC maturity reach... | |
| What Matters and What is Nonsense SB,While I can see some of the arrogance in the OP in "dropping the truth" for this forum....I don't see how you can pull "jealousy" out of that post.Also: what do you actually think is "rubbish" about his advice? | |
| Thiel Owners @beetlemania,Thanks for the updgrade info. That's more comforting that parts values will remain so similar. | |
| Thiel Owners ronkent,Yes for the most part I've used the Thiels sitting on my floor (shag rug over wood floor) - no spikes, nuthin'.I like playing with speaker positions so I recently put some Herbie's gliders under them (which screw in to where the spikes go)... | |
| What Matters and What is Nonsense hifiman5,I respect your experience with your system!I’m not looking to turn the thread into a "cable" thread beyond simply stating my experience and view. And since you asked...Over the years I have had experience with fancy cable. Especially havi... | |
| What Matters and What is Nonsense rbstehno,Your point about synergy is certainly well taken. The idea obviously makes sense.On the other hand, the end of your post seems to imply the common audiophile idea that if you are spending big bucks on speakers (and amps) then one should e... | |
| What Matters and What is Nonsense ^^^^^ Ha! Nice one Centurion! Like it, like it.... | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers I heard those Spendors sound very impressive at a show. Though I thought they actually might border on the fatiguing (strange thing to say about any Spendor. And of course, show conditions...) | |
| Thiel Owners ronkent,I was quite interested in the GAIA for quite a while and intended on trying them with the Thiels.However, I ended up buying some Isoacoustic Iso-pucks which I was thinking of using under my turntable platform. I tried them under one of my... | |
| Thiel Owners tomthiel,I look forward to the results of your efforts!I'm a bit gun-shy about messing with the tone of my 2.7s, but if I read some brave soul happy about upgrades I may go for it. (That is, if such upgrades become available for the 2.7). |
