| Thiel 3.7 Good stuff James! I really appreciate all that research you did for me. The dynaudio idea is also good. I think my most memorable experience was the Evidences about 10 years ago (at the late Soundex in Willow Grove PA). Best to you. | |
| Thiel 3.7 Anthony Cordesman said this in his Nov. 2008 3.7 TAS review that was otherwise a rave:"You will hear the hardness & excessive upper-octave energy that is actually present in far too many classical recordings of piano, flute, clarinet, violin. ... | |
| Thiel 3.7 Are the 3.7s bright or piercing in the upper mids which I remember the Absolute Sound review mentioned?The 3.7s seemed to much more highly regarded around here in the forums than the reviews (which I find interesting).I also remember a Stereophile... | |
| Ray Samuels B52 headphone amp as preamp? Thanks again Jrinkerptdnet. | |
| Ray Samuels B52 headphone amp as preamp? Thanks Jrinkerptdnet. That makes sense to me that it was meant for a passive preamp. Therefore it just seems puzzling why it is used so often in active preamps/headphone amps. | |
| Ray Samuels B52 headphone amp as preamp? Yeah, one of my big pet peeves are that a number of headphone amps use the Dact 24-stepper. I also never get beyond 5-6 steps with any headphone amp that uses this.I don't even know why anyone would make an attenuator with so few steps. I would ac... | |
| Do you ever doubt you ears ? No, I can easily hear differences, even if I can't articulate them better than saying there is an overall correctness and ease and transparency and grip to the sound, and that's what I look for in a cable (IC or power or speaker.)God it makes a hu... | |
| room tuning 12ftx12ft room Thanks Lacee. Yeah, from what I read, the Grand Veenas sound like classics. I always liked the silky but resolved sound of the Ref3a room at the NYC Stereophile show in a small hotel room as I remember. | |
| room tuning 12ftx12ft room So Lacee, how are those Grand Veenas? Have the stood the test of time? Thanks. | |
| Your First System AR Receiver, AR XA Turntable w/Shure V15 Type II cartridge,Dynaco A25 speakers, Superex ProB-V headphones.Lamp cord for speakers, captive power cords and captive IC on the turntable. | |
| Hum issue - driving me more crazy PS Audio has something called a Humbuster (now version 3).Never tried it. | |
| emm cdsa SE vs. Esoteric x-03 SE or x-05 I only heard the older Esoterics (DV-50 I think) but my EMM CDSA SE is much more resolving, even in stock form. I had mine upgraded with the X-upgrade that you can do later if you get the EMM which makes it superb, warm & resolving at the same... | |
| Zu Omen or Tekton Lore And does anyone think the Tektons would be OK on the long wall of a 22x14 foot room, with me about 8 feet from the speakers and the back of the speakers about 1.5-2 feet from the wall behind them? Amp is an Edge NL12.1 (300 wpc).Thanks. | |
| Zu Omen or Tekton Lore I wonder why this thread is so long. Are these very special speakers? | |
| Is Stealth Sakra IC is really better than Indra? Thanks Bullot and Inna. Yep, I always doubt the notion of X% difference in something that is qualitative, not quantitative. If that 1% is, say, an opaque bass or ringing midrange, that could make the component totally unacceptable, and suddenly 1%... |
