| Thiel Owners Improvements are always good.But for me I have to say the last thing on my list I'd write down as "needing improvement" is the cabinet behavior of the 3.7s.I say that because I find the 3.7s to already beat just about any other speaker I've heard ... | |
| What Matters and What is Nonsense I am in general agreement with the OP.Though I think the section about the importance of the recording methods could essentially have gone without saying. I don’t know any audiophiles - "tweakers" or not - who don’t realize the role the recording/... | |
| Thumbs up for ultrasonic record cleaning They explain the 120kHz on their web site.As I remember, it's something about the 120kHz making the process more amenable to using simple water and keeping it the right temperature. They use more power than other machines to approach the cleaning... | |
| Thumbs up for ultrasonic record cleaning uberwaltz,I certainly get that reaction. But...I AM that lazy ;-)I have a pal who always takes the cheaper way out, always looking for a bargain, buying second hand etc. We have different approaches - he is always willing to spend time and effor... | |
| We give up perspective to avoid tone controls I generally don’t feel the need for tone controls in my system. I have a nice sounding room, nice accurate speakers, but my CJ amps and pre-amp add a touch of romance.But I also sometimes use my old Eico HF-81 14W integrated amp. It has basic treb... | |
| Thumbs up for ultrasonic record cleaning Having jumped in with both feet recently back in to vinyl, including purchasing a nice turntable, I’ve been starting to investigate record cleaning.My problem is I’m lazy. Or, at least, uninterested in adding record cleaning as a chore.I enjoy eve... | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers cellcbern,Thanks for the tip on the Bache speakers. Though I think my journey is at an end (excepting if I get a chance to hear the Magico A3 speakers).I know what you mean about the Devore O speakers not totally disappearing - as I remarked on th... | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers clarinetmonster2,No, I'm in Canada.Glad my ramblings were of any help to you! | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers Thank you bjesien!I love the Thiels and I'm not giving them up! I'm just a bit greedy, recognize that no speaker will ever do everything, so I like having options. I have as high quality sources as I will ever have (especially a nice new Transro... | |
| Talk but not walk? Anyway...I have indeed been a dog-on-a-bone in this thread, I certainly admit that.However, the whole thing really touches issues I find of interest and importance - the role of empiricism, science and skepticism in high end audio, and the approac... | |
| Talk but not walk? Why don’t you talk to Michael about music or his product or tuning.I did. Remember?I asked honest questions that he refused to answer.As I said: I’m not trying to get you to change your opinion of the Michael you know. He may be a great fellow. Bu... | |
| Talk but not walk? Prof, when Michael is up on a forum somewhere in the home hobby or professional a post is made on TuneLand and his facebook page. No sirens needed. Well, that is essentially a siren of the type I was thinking - it seemed that somehow Tuneland peop... | |
| Talk but not walk? BTW, anyone notice there has been an influx in the thread of MG acolytes to castigate nay-sayers?It gives the feeling a siren call went out at some point, does it not? | |
| Talk but not walk? jf47t,It’s odd to read this thread that is mostly about Michael’s character instead of the OP. You seem to have missed that Michael’s OP was an attack on the character of others - calling them out as "fakes." (And he continued to imply people on t... | |
| Talk but not walk? geoff,It’s one thing to look for a way out when your bluff has been called.But to do it on the pretence that someone is calling you names? Geoffkait...complaining about anyone name-calling?That is a priceless ploy coming from you. I admire the chu... |
