| Speaker Spikes - do the shake test It is certainly possible that a very responsive cabinet could move LESS with dampening feet. And, this would explain the better resolution you hear. The less your speakers move front to back, the better they should sound. A super solid cabinet tha... | |
| Magico S5 review I listened to the S1, S5 and Q3 at HANSEN Audio in Dayton.First, I thought that ALL the MAGICO speakers were very well like one another in their tonal balance. True, the room to my ear, favored the S1 (not the speaker's fault). My impressions, on ... | |
| Speaker Spikes - do the shake test OK, Spiked my DD10+ subs. I used Dayton Audio spikes into the concrete floor beneath the carpet. Here, like the speakers, the spikes force the speaker / subs to become "one" with the floor so the speaker can't shake near as much. The hand on the c... | |
| Preamps with balanced ins/outs and remote ... I am indeed saying that you need the low output impedance even if you are not driving a low impedance load...So true, you want the signal to drop across the load, not the preamplifiers output circuit. Its a simple voltage divider rule. The low... | |
| Speaker cable advise for spectron/ gallo 3.1 DNM cables ignore skin depth current distribution parameters with too few large conductors. The current through each wire will not be as consistent as it should be across the audio band. 32-mils (0.82mm) is far too large. You want each conductor t... | |
| Speaker cable advise for spectron/ gallo 3.1 There are SEVEN major issues with speaker cables that must be addressed well; Inductance, Resistance, Capacitance, Magnetic field cancellation, Electric field cancellation, Skin depth, and wire quality.Few speaker cables address all seven correctl... | |
| Preamps with balanced ins/outs and remote Look at PASS LABS XP-10, too. It has a remote and balanced and unbalanced outputs, both. | |
| How big is your matrix - how we bias or enjoyment. Ebm, I forgot, you're right...you can always just guess! | |
| Speaker Spikes - do the shake test If you think about what is going on, the effects of a neutral cabinet motion are critical to getting the best from your speakers.For example, look at a high-end scan speak tweeter, the one's I call the cone-heads. That big spike in the middle of t... | |
| DynAudio C4 _ Explodes my sonic perspective I love the C4's, but they do have limitations. I added subs, as I like a more powerful effortless low bass than they C4s do by themselves. True, everyone comments on the great bass they have. Yes, the key is what they "have". I miss that bottom oc... | |
| Speaker Spikes - do the shake test OK,I think we have TWO evolutionary paths, speakers placed on "soft" floors, and those placed on "hard" floors. A soft floor being a typical floor is a house supported with joists. A hard floor being (in my case) ten inches of concrete.I would cer... | |
| WOW, they are important, but in what order? No, all these cords can be confusing. No problem. Still, there are likely systems that do not have issues with AC line noise and won't benefit from power cords. I'd LOVE to "hear" someone's system that does benefit from a power cord change. Just h... | |
| How big is your matrix - how we bias or enjoyment. Mrtennis,Good question. Bias is the conclusion that information that you have gathered is still "true", and "fair" or the most accurate representation of a physical outcome.When we stop collecting additional data to support a "bias" we now have a ... | |
| How big is your matrix - how we bias or enjoyment. Frogman,??? Not so sure where you got all that. But if you like to form conclusions (...you have a problem with the notion that I feel confident about this specific aspect of audiophilia...) to make a point to someone...go ahead. I wasn't even tal... | |
| WOW, they are important, but in what order? Ketchup,They gave mustard, too. The XLR tyr2 is an interconnect cable, not a power cord. That's why I mentioned that it is an "XLR" balanced interconnect. |
