| Demos - To Charge a Fee or to Not Charge a Fee? Here’s a question for the gang:A dealer has a product you want to audition, say speakers.You generally work on the principle that if you audition gear at the dealers premises, you’d buy from the dealer, not go somewhere else.BUT...You have a reall... | |
| Demos - To Charge a Fee or to Not Charge a Fee? It’s completely accurate, No it’s not.You wrote: the people who will have a big problem with this are the bungholes who want to use the dealer services for free and then buy off the internet. But I have a problem with it becoming routine to pay si... | |
| Demos - To Charge a Fee or to Not Charge a Fee? @millercarbon the people who will have a big problem with this are the bungholes who want to use the dealer services for free and then buy off the internet. Those of us who would prefer to have and support local dealers won’t have a problem with i... | |
| Demos - To Charge a Fee or to Not Charge a Fee? Demoing equipment at the store should be considered part of the business. But I’m perfectly fine paying for in-home demos. That’s asking a lot having the salesman haul the equipment to my house and letting me have it for a while.A local salesman h... | |
| Townshend Springs under Speakers grannyring I agree and it's a point I've made many times on other sites.For instance I'm an active member on the Audio Science Review forum, and it's funny that here I get the reputation of being some hard nosed "objectivist" while over there I'm ... | |
| Townshend Springs under Speakers charles,I can easily switch from work to audiophile mode. I do it every day.Also, I can generally "turn off" my sound editing mode to watch movies. | |
| Townshend Springs under Speakers Anyway, me and my cloth ears will be evaluating the Townshend speaker bars, after I finish evaluating some updated Conrad Johnson amps I just bought. Gotta do one thing at a time. | |
| Townshend Springs under Speakers charles1dad,Just per your comment: Yeah, it is. Creatively can be very satisfying.However, in the movie business as a sound designer/editor, my work is last in line. A sound mix is generally set in stone, far in advance, as all sorts of production... | |
| Townshend Springs under Speakers Yes tvad. It's a "they don't know what they don't know" scenario.There's a whole lot more to understanding the characteristics of sound than believing Miles' trumpet sounds more burnished when you put your cables on a riser. | |
| Townshend Springs under Speakers Ah, the Golden Ears response strikes again."I can hear angels singing when I replaced my amp fuses. You can’t? Oh, that’s because you can’t hear. But you’ll just have to take my unverifable opinion that it isn’t my imagination, so I can Lord It Ov... | |
| Townshend Springs under Speakers Yes, I tried my Townshend C isolation pods under my heavy Premier 12 monoblocks. And under my pre-amp. This was before I used them under my Turntable base. I was trying tons of different isolation materials and footers. (As well as Isoacoust... | |
| Townshend Springs under Speakers You don’t understand Well if you or anyone else does, I’m all ears. What’s wrong with saying I've seen no reason how it could work, and asking how it could work?"This gets so tiresome."Why is wondering how something does, or could work, tiresome?I... | |
| Townshend Springs under Speakers Decoupling speakers that actually vibrate, and which can vibrate a floor, from the floor, I get. The effects are actually measurable.Spring footers under a dac seem about as necessary as wings on a pig. Unless you are perhaps on a ship in a stor... | |
| Thiel Owners am confident that I am not alone in thinking that there are instances where the CS 2.7 and/or the CS 3.7 would require subwoofers. Utilizing a proper power amp will not unto itself act as an equalizer to yield aural results across the freque... | |
| Townshend Springs under Speakers My speaker bars arrived today. They look great. I also just received a set of upgraded CJ Premier 12 amps too, so I'm doing one thing at a time. Amps first. I'll probably get to the bars later in the week. |
