| Townshend Audio Seismic Podiums Review Mitch, I was already using Herbie’s fat gliders under my Thiels. I then tried Isoacoustic Gaias, And they provided some nice tightening of the bass, although I wasn’t totally sure about this, slight tonal change. however, it was shortly after ... | |
| Where was the best reproduced sound you ever heard? MBL 101s. I heard them at shows and dealers, with the most mind blowing experience was a demonstration of the 101s in the home of absolute sound reviewer many years ago. The most startlingly realistic, I’ve ever heard. I got a good p... | |
| Townshend Audio Seismic Podiums Review I seem to be one of the very few people who have tried the Townsend products under my speakers and who chose not to use them. When I was doing tons of testing of isolation materials while building my turntable isolation base, I settled on th... | |
| Why do tube amps often subjectively sound more powerful than SS ? @mulveling yes, that’s been exactly my experience! I have sensitive ears, And I have always found that my tube amplifiers give a sense of ease and relaxation, So that I can crank the sound much higher and still enjoy it. Whereas when I have... | |
| Why do tube amps often subjectively sound more powerful than SS ? This has been my experience as well in terms of tube amps sounding more powerful, at least for their wattage. Maybe not all but certainly some that I have used. Conrad Johnson premiere 12 tube mono blocks - 140w side. I’ve had a very l... | |
| Thiel Owners Tom, I think I’ve mentioned it before, especially since you were originally doing the cabinets for Thiel speakers: the CS6 Speakers that I had in my home for a little while back around 2001 or 2002, Where in I think the Amberwood finish. They r... | |
| Thiel Owners Tom, that was absolutely fascinating. Thanks so much. It blows me away that Jim was contemplating an Omni durational driver. I am a fan of Omni directional speakers -,I’ve owned MBLs before. with Jim’s engineering chops I bet his design would’... | |
| Thiel Owners @tomthiel I’m sure you have already mentioned this somewhere in this ginormous thread. But could you give some insights As to “the Thiel products that never came to be?” I’m thinking about what Jim might have had in his plans before he pass... | |
| The Audio Science Review (ASR) approach to reviewing wines. @petaluman What I meant there was that Amir Generally evaluates Loudspeaker measurements based on the type of criteria derived from Blind loudspeaker testing, Which are known to predict high preference scores. And other words that is there “ ... | |
| The Audio Science Review (ASR) approach to reviewing wines. @rodman99999 LIKEWISE: no one can possibly know whether a new addition (ie: some kind of disc, crystal, fuse, interconnect, speaker cable, etc) will make a difference, in their system and room, with their media and to their ears, without trying... | |
| The Audio Science Review (ASR) approach to reviewing wines. @samureyex Your post is littered with a number of dubious, assumptions, or claims. I was very careful in what I wrote. As I said measurements are useful and so far as they have been correlated to their Sonic consequences. Sometim... | |
| The Audio Science Review (ASR) approach to reviewing wines. “Among a myriad of other complaints, I simply don’t have any confidence that ASR as a publication knows good sound.” ASR evaluates equipment based on objective criteria that has been found to predict certain aspects of sound quality. The speak... | |
| The Audio Science Review (ASR) approach to reviewing wines. It would be really cool if somebody who wanted to criticize ASR could do it without strawmen. Amir DOES listen to every loudspeaker and comment on the sound. He also reports whether a speaker that doesn’t measure well can be ameliorated ... | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers Yep, everything is a compromise. The Devore sound is completely different from the Joseph sound. Since I have always been very mid range focussed, if my Joseph speakers had not been pleasing enough in the midrange, I certainly wouldn’t h... | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers That’s great to hear! |
