| Persona 9h vs S3 mk 2 Every thread with mention of the Persona's is guaranteed to turn in to multiple pages. Because..well..."audiotroy"..... | |
| R.I.P: Rest In Peace Roy Johnson, Green Mountain Audio's Genius This is really sad!I'd never heard his speakers, but Roy contributed a lot of great info in this forum and elsewhere, for us non-speaker-designers. In fact I'd just this week read an article (in positive feedback, I think) from a speaker designe... | |
| Any cable delivers more bass than Cardas Golden Reference? dumbeat, from your description of your A/B test...if accurate...then one or both cables were very, very poorly designed. Why not just get a normal, well constructed cable? | |
| Thumbs up for ultrasonic record cleaning My Degritter US cleaner makes cleaning records a cinch.Drop record in, hit button, go do whatever else, and return to US cleaned and dried record.Perfect for folks like myself who are too lazy for other methods. | |
| Cartridges that get strings right? Agreed with others. Massed strings seems one of the biggest "fall-down" points I experience in audio reproduction. They so easily can sound synthetic, or like digital samples rather than having that delicate combination of bow-on-string vividne... | |
| Opinions of GoldenEar Triton 1 jaytor,Your user impressions match my show-listener impressions.I found the Tritons to sound a touch "dark" and boring myself.Just didn't do anything to make me want to stick around and listen. | |
| Opinions of GoldenEar Triton 1 Since opinions were asked for...I've heard a couple GE Triton speakers but only at shows.I'm not a fan of ribbon tweeters and the demos didn't convince me otherwise.What I did hear, though, was quite a "lot of sound" for a lower price than many ot... | |
| Thiel Owners I've experimented a bit with stuff under my Thiels - spikes, isoacoustics footers etc.I preferred the sound of the Thiels just sitting on my rug, no footers (beneath that, wood floor). Just by lifting a speaker up you can expect some changes to t... | |
| beryllium vs diamond Again, you are repeating the same stuff I’ve already said I disagree with.Repeating it again doesn’t help.If you are drastically changing the sound of speakers via a DAC, you are using poorly designed DACs. (A lot of those going around in high-end... | |
| Most impressive small footprint speaker Joseph Audio Perspective.It's known for being a "holy cow I can't believe that sound is coming out of that little foor-stander" speaker. | |
| beryllium vs diamond Again, audiotroy, you are writing as if I would never have experienced swapping between CD players, servers, DACs etc.Aside from having done plenty of my own CDP/DAC swapping tests (including blind testing!), I’ve experienced countless different D... | |
| beryllium vs diamond Troy,Yeah, yeah...I know your views on these things.You aren’t talking to some newbie who just walked in to your store who needs your education and salesman's wisdom. I’ve been in the hobby for much of my life, heard a gazillion systems, done some... | |
| beryllium vs diamond First audition - can't remember. Second audition, as I already said: Bryston amplification.I'm not going to talk cabling with you as we don't agree on that stuff.They were thick cables...hope that helps ;-)Agreed that system matching and set up c... | |
| beryllium vs diamond I did a long audition of the Persona’s in which I was able to achieve a good set up of the speakers a year ago. I thought they sounded pretty good, but they wore me out.This second audition, I again didn’t just allow for how the dealer set them up... | |
| beryllium vs diamond This does nothing to settle anything on the issue of course, but as a matter of pure anecdote:I recently auditioned the Paradigm F3 with it's beryllium drivers against the B&W 803D3 (diamond tweeter) in the same room on the same equipment.For ... |
