| Thiel Owners @tomthiel Tom, I’m sure you’ve detailed this before in the thread but could you remind me: Where does the old Thiel 02 sit in terms of Thiel speaker history? Presumably there was an 01. What type of speaker was that, did it have much distributi... | |
| Your sub experience: Easy or hard? I had two JL Audio 110E subs, the JL Audio CR-1 crossover, and a DSpeaker room correction (which I used on the subs). To answer the question: 1. Easy. 2. Hard. 3. Impossible. First, it was hard in the sense of trying to find a place to put... | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers Thanks for the link ghasley. First positive review. I admit though, I find it tough to sit through Steve's video reviews. I find it a lot of verbiage to get through (often unrelated to the speakers) to get the bits of information I'm looking... | |
| Spendor D9.2 Run In I'm glad to hear you are enjoying the Spendors! I haven't heard the D9.2s, so I don't know how they compare to the original D7s. | |
| Spendor D9.2 Run In But it’s the pitch, and at higher volumes especially, brashness or tinnyness, that is a bit unnerving. That sure sounds like what I heard when I auditioned Spendor D7s (which were broken in). They were just about the only speaker I had to k... | |
| objective vs. subjective rabbit hole @snilf Granted: all causal relationships "presuppose" a connection between cause and effect, Yes, which is why, wary of going down the nature-of-causation rabbit hole, I couched my reply as a simple appeal to consistency: Insofar as we norma... | |
| objective vs. subjective rabbit hole mahgister Not that I want to get in to the whole free will debate here, but the fellow in that video pretty much ignored addressing the incompatibilist/hard determinist arguments against free will. He sort of mentioned determinism, but didn’t ... | |
| objective vs. subjective rabbit hole @snilf Thanks for the reply. Of course, this presupposes that the subjective correlate ("warmer" male voice, or whatever) is causally connected to that measured phenomenon. I'd disagree that it "presupposes" such a thing - it is justified ... | |
| objective vs. subjective rabbit hole deludedaudiophile Exactly! Very important point. Analogy: Just because we’ve yet to reconcile quantum mechanics with general relativity, nor deduced the exact character of Dark Matter, doesn’t give me an excuse to drop a bowling ball on your bar... | |
| objective vs. subjective rabbit hole @snilf I’m glad you found my indulgent speaker thread entertaining. As to your status as an audiophile, hey, it’s a big tent in my view :-) Nice to see a philosophy prof here. I’m not a prof, just a layman with a long interest in philosophy/sc... | |
| objective vs. subjective rabbit hole Hi mahgister. Nice post. Hope you are doing well! Cheers. | |
| objective vs. subjective rabbit hole @snilf Ah I see. I was thrown by your talking about the contrast one finds in forums like this between the appeal to the objective vs the subjective, and that you felt you were identifying a "crux" of the matter. My view is that this is not the... | |
| objective vs. subjective rabbit hole @snilf As somewhat of a philosophy fan myself... I think your initial post started with a bit of conceptual muddying. Right here: Do you fall on the side of the inviolability of subjective preference, or do you insist on objective facts in ... | |
| Just my observation - seems like there is less listed on AG I generally try to sell locally (canuckaudiomart) but had a couple items not long ago that I figured would do better on Agon. What a pain-in-the-*ss it was setting up an Agon listing vs canuckaudiomart (and as others say, they make it hard to com... | |
| The Audiophile's Wife Didn't grannyring recently attend Axpona (with "the wife?") If so I'd love to read an entree about attending an audiophile show on TAW. It should be rich pickins' |
