| Is soundstaging emblematic of reality? The dimensions and Sabine acoustics of any live venue are reality. The reproduction and/or consciousness of such, depends on everything from recording/microphone setup, to the end listener’s system, speakers, room, ears and brain. (https://audioen... | |
| Is soundstaging emblematic of reality? Sound staging and imaging, put me in the venue. Instruments and people have size, shape and weight/impact. A live venue; dimensions and resonances. Good imaging and sound staging, will resolve all(given a good recording). | |
| Speaker Imaging - Do you hear a line, or do you hear an arc?? Of course, as is the case with every aspect of stereo reproduction/quality, everything depends on the recording(GIGO). Then too; there’s a wide variety of microphone techniques, not to mention live, studio, and other variables. The following provi... | |
| Pair Of Magnepan Magneplanar Model MG-II Probably somewhere around $600, if they’re in nice cosmetic condition and have no rattles(conductors that have come loose, from the Mylar/glue failure). Magnepan offers their new LRS, for slightly more than that. Though smaller; my guess is they w... | |
| Bose 301 modifications The, "crossover" in 301s was a single, cheap, aluminum electrolytic capacitor(I’ve forgotten whether it was 4 or 6 uF). I used to stock/sell the drivers, purchased from Madisound(who carried the manufacturing over-runs from Bose’s supplier), for(l... | |
| Interconnects and Speaker Cable, What in your history hit your pleasure button? @teo_audio- A little nit-picking, just for fun(apologies, to the OP): There are actually two magnitudes(layers) of difference between LCR(Classical/Newtonian/fixed) and QED. Relativity(not fixed) and it’s theories, supercedes Newtonian. Quantum, w... | |
| Interconnects and Speaker Cable, What in your history hit your pleasure button? Silver conductors have been hitting my pleasure button, since they started using it in cables. Even so; it's been interesting, how information can still be lost, even with some, "better" cables. ie: After some reading on the Wireworld Platinum ... | |
| Sell your $$$ cables and conditioners... affordable LITHIUM is here! Something about Lithium: https://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/safety_concerns_with_li_ion | |
| Review and Guidance into playing with power cord, strips, receptacles, and conditioners. "........should I trade rawness and bloom for technical perfection?" Who says you have to choose? Keep all the cables and go with your mood, or the flavor you prefer, with the musical genre being served. Since your system is responding so well to ... | |
| 30.7 MAGNEPAN Tour in Indy Winey(maggie) and Johnson(ARC), teamed up and were trucking around the country, in the 70’s, demonstrating one new technology(magnetic-planars) and one reintroduction to music lovers(tubes). Both companies are still alive and well, after going on ... | |
| On hearing and listening. @richopp: +1 X 4 | |
| Analysis Plus Solo Crystal Oval 8...OMG!! @b_limo - Thanks and you’re welcome. Aren’t experimentation & discovery, fun & rewarding? NOPE- absolutely, no going back! Happy Listening! | |
| Paean to a Fuse (and a tip of the hat to Chris Van Haus) Unfortunately, they’re only available in the smaller fuse size(thus far). | |
| Analysis Plus Solo Crystal Oval 8...OMG!! Got away from the OP's original topic......SORRY! | |
| Analysis Plus Solo Crystal Oval 8...OMG!! @decooney - "Now the good cables allow one to hear what was always there, just had to let it come through :)" Absolutely! Sounds as though we both value good sound staging. It’s surprising, that even in comparing some of those, "good cables", thin... |
