Thiel Owners
  I actually just ordered some Gaia 2 feet for my Thiel 2.7s. I tried the Townshend Seismic speaker stands (spring based) and didn't totally get on with them.  They did reduce bass resonance and maybe the speakers disappeared a bit more, but als... 
New MOFI speaker (Andrew Jones)
  Jay seems like a nice guy and earnest. And I do like the gear pron aspect of his channel. On the other hand, I find him over-serious, always delivering stuff like it’s almost like he was up all night contemplating how he’s going to break the i... 
Audio Science Review = Rebuttal and Further Thoughts
Well, some people prefer to benefit from information that can help them spend their money more wisely, others not so much I guess. If I were thinking I needed to spend extra money on a "high end" USB cable to ensure I get good sound, I’d really a... 
Audio Science Review = Rebuttal and Further Thoughts
  Well...you could actually point out the flaw in the reasoning that makes it so funny. But if that's too much to ask and you want to keep it to an inside joke....sorry for replying.  I thought this forum was about conversations and not just sna... 
Audio Science Review = Rebuttal and Further Thoughts
Yup. Stare on those graphs, and you will know exactly how it will sound. This way, one can “audition” and compare dozens of DACs from the comfort of their home without lifting a finger or spending any money 🙄🤦‍♂️ You say that like it's a bad th... 
Audio Science Review = Rebuttal and Further Thoughts
  invalid, Are you suggesting that those parameters are not contained within the measurements used by Amir?  How would you show that? First, there are measurements that correspond with things like the soundstage being perceived as bigger (e.g. ... 
Audio Science Review = Rebuttal and Further Thoughts
  @clustrocasual  This is a non sequitur, but I listened to the top measured products on ASR Sounds like a lot of gear!  Which gear? compared to some which measured worse, Which ones? That could help put your post in to some perspective.... 
Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers
I can't remember the NEAT model the dealer demoed for me, but they were one of the higher up models, fairly big as I recall. It was just one set of speakers, one time, so I can't denounce all NEAT speakers.  But it left me not wanting to seek the... 
Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers
As I wrote early in the thread I really like Kudos speakers.   My Kudos dealer switched to NEAT speakers - mostly I think because he had to because it was difficult being a Kudos dealer in Canada or something.  Anyway, he made a big pitch about ...

@arafiq    Not yet.  It's expensive. I probably will but haven't pulled the trigger.    
Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers
@mrdseitzer    I'm glad you found this thread useful! Thanks for your comments! Sorry, no I haven't heard the QLN speakers. They certainly are garnering a reputation.  Seems the going impressions are that they sound suave and smooth and rich, ... 
Loving my Hales T5’s
Yep.  Looks like another drive-by. Very strange.  
Nobosound Springs
  (That Bat Signal went up...) I've tried the nobsound springs and the Townshend  Seismic Isolation Bars under my speakers and reported on the results in other threads. The effect of the nobsound was just as the OP described.  Opening up of the... 
Open Baffle Experience
  My experience with such speakers is limited.  I remember hearing the Spatial speakers at a show but can't quite remember the sound. But my general experience with dipoles (including my Quad ESL 63 with a dipole Gradient subwoofer), is that the... 
Loving my Hales T5’s
I’m having deja vu. Wasn’t this a hit-and-run thread previously?   (And in that earlier thread I remarked that, yes, as a long time Hales fan I owned the T5s and still us T1 and the T Center channel in my home theater).
