| AUDIO SCIENCE REVIEW and $50 to spend......... That's great Amir likes your preamp, but there is a lot of crap they love over on that site so to use it as a barometer for what sounds excellent is silly. Nobdy has to uncritically swallow everything at ASR. Like any other forum you have... | |
| AUDIO SCIENCE REVIEW and $50 to spend......... prof, Just think of all the money you have saved. ozzy Exactly. Paying attention to objective investigations of various type of gear has been very useful, as have my own occasional blind tests, in saving me money and angst sometimes. A... | |
| AUDIO SCIENCE REVIEW and $50 to spend......... "I don’t care for ASR" is of course a perfectly valid opinion. "Their videos have no value" ...is just being silly. | |
| AUDIO SCIENCE REVIEW and $50 to spend......... They aren't saving you money if you buy something based on specs and it sounds poor in your system. I'm not aware of a single person on ASR who has reported such a problem. @prof good luck with that. Don't say I didn't warn you. ... | |
| AUDIO SCIENCE REVIEW and $50 to spend......... their videos have no value. enertainment only Their videos are more informative than just about anything you'd find here (and I like this place). ASR videos have educated many people and have doubtless saved plenty of audiophiles wasting m... | |
| Music for 2022- Is It Just Me Or?.. I haven't bought too much music in 2022 because I'd gone a little crazy buying vinyl the previous two years. I had to take a financial "break" from doing so, and I've been mostly catching up listening to the music I bought. My purchases are p... | |
| The new Borresen M1's...a new direction? On one hand it's neat to see speaker like this push the boundaries. On the other hand, they p*ss me off because we get in to the realm of stunt pricing, and high end audio is becoming ever more driven by "ok, now that the other company has pri... | |
| 2023 Florida Audio Expo Show Report Joseph audio had the best streaming and all that was used was an older Apple TV box which had an optical connection that was connected to a streamer that impressed many with great sound from a YouTube video. YouTube video Quality is outstanding t... | |
| Experience with Townshend Seismic Podiums on Concrete Floor (they're great) Regarding raising the height of the speaker/tweeter: Yes that certainly is an issue, and in many speaker designs it will change the sound. Sometimes a speaker will sound more mellow and rich below the tweeter, but sometimes it could be a bit ... | |
| Thiel Owners Thanks Tom! If I ever feel handy enough, at least you've given me a road map. | |
| Another anti vibration solution -Primacoustics Interesting. I have my Thiel speakers on a wood floor (carpet covered) and have been trying various isolation/decoupling solutions. I tried this: And was hopeful, but unfortunately it was probably the least successful device I tr... | |
| Experience with Townshend Seismic Podiums on Concrete Floor (they're great) @ryder Great news. Your experience just adds to the statistics and reinforced my belief that the Townshend Podiums register a 100% success rate with those who have tried. I think you must have missed my post. | |
| Thiel Owners tomthiel, Thanks so much for all the detail on the 02s and 2.7 upgrade ideas! I don't know that I'd touch my 02s, and if I were ever to try and upgrade them I'd probably find another pair to do so. As for the 2.7s, I really have got them so... | |
| Thiel Owners @tomthiel Where you working to somehow make the Thiel 02 time/phase coherent, or are you keeping the basic original design? Also, sometimes I wonder what modded 2.7s would sound like. Any idea what one would do to "upgrade" those? I always th... | |
| Under my tower speakers -- Isoacoustics Gaia, other options? I’ve never heard of stands "settling in." Audiophiles can imagine anything ;-) Our perception is very plastic, but many audiophiles tend to attribute changes in their perception (for instance getting used to the sound of a new speaker or wh... |
