| Who says cables don't make a difference? You read my mind and saved me the typing :-) djones512,346 posts06-28-2020 7:47pmI'm not following you, is the Indra a game changing product or a second rate piece of junk? | |
| Are these Speakers the BEST on Planet Earth ?... Are these the best speakers ever? Unlikely, but this may be one of the better threads for showing bias and lack of knowledge in the audiophile community. I would guesstimate that most pontificating don't really even understand the technology behin... | |
| Vinyl / High qual analog tape / High-res digital -- One of these is not like the other Unfortunately Mr. Pebbles, there is no round hole, for your square peg in this topic. Try to find another topic to troll with your off-topic obsessions.Mike, I will try to take you up on that offer to come listen after this whole Covid thing dies ... | |
| Too good a post to waste I was talking about Miller claiming his $1,200 bargain system was magically transformed by $1,200 interconnects which is ... which the nicest I can put is questionable. If you have left right interconnects, RCA, and the ground breaks on one of t... | |
| Azimuth 2020 That's not really true. "Crosstalk" is not a matter of being accurate. You can maximize the minimum crosstalk, i.e. lowest in each direction, or maximize the total cross talk. Neither is going to optimize azimuth which is accurate orientation of t... | |
| Too good a post to waste Keep doing you Miller. If something sounds markedly different when I change an interconnect, then it was always because something was wrong. Usually of course it happens just from moving it. It is not unusual to loose the ground on just one of the... | |
| Too good a post to waste Shocking that you never considered it wasn't the $1,200 interconnect, but perhaps you, or maybe just the act of wiping dirty contacts, or the other interconnect was faulty. | |
| Vinyl / High qual analog tape / High-res digital -- One of these is not like the other Try to replicate anything that looks like a square wave on vinyl, especially at anything close to high amplitude... it's not pretty. Music isn't square waves, but that gives an idea of bandwidth/timing/phase accuracy. There is far more "informatio... | |
| Should people who can't solder, build or test their speakers be considered audiophiles? Just keep tapping the middle of your forehead. Something is bound to happen eventually.geoffkait22,899 posts06-24-2020 3:39pm>>>>Is there a Report Whiner button? | |
| Vinyl / High qual analog tape / High-res digital -- One of these is not like the other A combination of compression and making the quieter parts louder so that the dynamic range of the recording is compressed. It sounds loud on the radio and CD. It started with records in the 70s-80s, but really continued with CD, because records ar... | |
| Is there a Solid State amp that can satisfy a SET guy? There is really little to no evidence for this statement, and considering the lobotomy most speakers do to phase-shift, it is hard to justify some extra margin from the amplifier destroying sound-stage. Sound-stage is based on volume (not phase de... | |
| Vinyl / High qual analog tape / High-res digital -- One of these is not like the other Well except for all those tapes lost in the UMG fire, and the ones that have been degraded so likely the best is a copy of a master.I think I saw a 30ips remark above. Generally 30ips is useless as there is no bass response left on the tape. 15 is... | |
| Should people who can't solder, build or test their speakers be considered audiophiles? Maybe the system was accurate, and you don't like accurate systems? In my experience, musicians will tell me what sounds most accurate, and what sounds most pleasing and often they are not the same, it all depends on the person.>>>>I’... | |
| I'm here for the enthusiasts, not the snobbery In terms of pure driving, I don't think any 911 touches the 718 GT4. The others are faster, but in my limited driving experience, the GT4 is far more fun. If you are just interested in straight line, there are certainly cheaper ways than a GT3. In... | |
| Azimuth 2020 I think by eye you can do better than 1 degree if you have any magnification. Used one of those Intel USB microscopes before and it looked perfectly aligned, so perhaps 1/10 degree or less? Does it have to be that perfect? I doubt it. It takes m... |
