| Turntable Isolation Journey @mulveling Also forgot to mention, I’ve had these 1" thick granite slabs since forever. They ring like crazy. Tried them under my speakers (with Herbie’s Giant Fat Dots under each corner) and they just sounded BAD. Really bad. I realize this... | |
| Turntable Isolation Journey @mulveling Excellent detailed post and a terrific contribution to the forum! Thanks! I also had a long thread on my trying out various solutions in building an isolation base for my Transrotor Fat Bob S turntable. It's amazing how similar ou... | |
| The New Amati G5 or Joseph Audio Pearl Graphene Good contribution! I've heard the Perspectives a few times on giant SimAudio monoblocks, so plenty of power. And I did notice a bit more solidity to the sound. Less body in terms of richness and roundness vs tubes, but more focused and a se... | |
| Is it possible for a high end manufacturer to overprice their goods? I haven't noticed any posts that look like someone is on a crusade (might have missed it). But it makes sense for audiophiles to discuss the nature of how audio gear is being priced these days. I mean...that's obvious, right? | |
| Is it possible for a high end manufacturer to overprice their goods? Answer: Of course. I've often wondered how satisfying it actually would be for those manufacturers engaging in this race-to-the-moon-who-can-price-higher model. Where you sell just a few a year. Is that really satisfying? Do you really want t... | |
| The New Amati G5 or Joseph Audio Pearl Graphene Thanks jomonhifi! (I was going to thank Charles for his nice reply too...but for some weird reason it was removed) | |
| The New Amati G5 or Joseph Audio Pearl Graphene I can't answer your question, but somewhat related: I have the Joseph Perspective graphene speakers and just recently I was able to hear the Sonus Faber Olympica nova 3 speakers for a little while at a local AV store. I'd been wanting to hear ne... | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers Still tweaking my Perspectives in to place. Spread a bit wider apart and slightly angled out a bit more. As is usually the case with speakers in my room, this helps fatten out the sound somewhat, and also makes the speakers disappear a bit mo... | |
| Audio Doctor goes to Axpona observations so far Psyche ! | |
| 2023 AXPONA Show Report I couldn’t make it to the show, so I’ve just enjoyed watching the many youtube videos posted covering the show. I watch them in my home theater on the big projection screen with a good surround system (Hales Transcendence speakers) and the imp... | |
| MBL 120 vs 126 Hard to say. The stereophile review quoted MBL as saying the 120 is particularly flexible in working in different rooms. So maybe your small room would work. Does it work to go with the model you prefer, and then just see which room it works in... | |
| Making speakers “disappear”….. Don't forget toe-in, which can not only affect imaging but widen the sweet spot. Some speakers sound better below the tweeter axis, and with little to no toe-in. For me, that vast majority of speakers I've had "disappear" better when I don't to... | |
| MBL 120 vs 126 I had the 121s in a 13' x 15' room. They are in between the 120/126 in terms of size/frequency response. They worked great in my room. Though I do have a fairly wide opening in to a hallway which helps with bass I think. 11' x 11' might be ... | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers Interesting. Though I don't play in that snack bracket anymore. I've used up my audio fun money for the foreseeable future. | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers @arafiq Yes I remember you mentioning the Aavik amp. That’s a pricey bit of gear! Funny you mention selling your REL subs; I’m actually considering adding a REL sub, just to try at some point - e.g. T9X. The Perspectives are putting out goregou... |
