| 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... | |
| What is the current retail cost of your reference system? If I even think it too loud, my wife will hear it. | |
| Experience with Townshend Seismic Podiums on Concrete Floor (they're great) It is one of the few audio products that is universally praised by people who actually own them. I agree the overwhelming proportion of reports on the Townshend isolation base/bars are positive. That's one of the reasons I tried them (Isola... | |
| Thiel Owners @masi61 I'm pretty sure I detailed my impressions of the Isoacoustics Gaia under my Thiel 2.7s somewhere not long ago in this thread. But just in case I'll copy/paste my comments from another thread: ------------------- So..finally...I ... | |
| Graham LS5/5: considered impressions after three months of ownership... Excellent review and description!!! Thanks a lot! I'd love to hear those speakers. | |
| Joseph Audio: Perspectives and Pearls It makes sense from an economic standpoint. There have been speaker manufacturers who don't believe biwiring makes a difference, but they are selling to an audiophile community in which many think it does, and demand speakers that can be bi-wired... |
