| Your favourite recordings that everyone else hates I hear ya "Z". Most of my stuff is "less than desirable" from either a public or audiophile point of view.Quite honestly, i like Elvis Costello. Too bad most all of his recordings sound "boxed in", compressed, have muddy, ill-defined bass and the ... | |
| Cables - When Did it All Start? Thsalmon: No wonder that the wire / cable industry is such a rip-off. The guy that you claim started the industry ( P.T. Barnam ) was nothing but a pale imation / con artist working off of the name of someone else that was famous ( P.T. Barnum ) !... | |
| Another Time and Phase thread Bigtee: You bring up some valid points for typical "full range single driver" systems. What you may have forgotten to take into account is how a Walsh driver works and is shaped. Due to the shape and size of the cone, the section of cone that is c... | |
| Cables - When Did it All Start? FatParrot: The "Cobra Cables" were the Polk's that Viridian mentioned. Their design reduced inductance, not capacitance. This design was VERY high in capacitance per foot and sent many an amp into oscillation and an early death. As to who actually... | |
| Another Time and Phase thread All sound eminates from a point source at the same time and in the same phase. This is the very basis of operation of the Walsh series drivers and why they do some things like no other dynamic driver can.A true point source driver might not have l... | |
| Crossover, point-to-point mods Using a soldering gun will probably produce toxic or near toxic fumes. I would simply try using a sturdy scraper with a beveled edge. You can probably wedge the beveled edge up underneat the glue and scrape / pry the part and glue off in one motio... | |
| Another Time and Phase thread Get rid of the multiple drivers and dividing networks and then you have a time and phase coherent speaker. I'm sure that at least Twl and Karls will give me a big "AMEN" on that one : ) If you've done the testing and have documented your results, ... | |
| Amp suggestion for Legacy Focus Glad that you were able to find something that worked for you. I know that it was probably a pain and financially stressful in terms of buying to try all of these amps, but it is also a lot of fun and can be a very educational experience. I know t... | |
| AV Racks. What difference does it make? I used to think that one would want the heaviest, most rigid rack possible and then i bought one just like that. Each shelf weighed almost 25 lbs by itself and the entire rack fully assembled was 150+ lbs. I sold it a few months later as my system... | |
| Bryston 4B gets HOT. Should I leave it on? Pops: Keep your money and your sanity. Your probably better off with what you have : ) Sean> | |
| outdoor audition Unless you live out in the middle of nowhere, it will prove how much better your system sounds in a quiet listening environment : ) This "should" give you a good idea of what the system sounds like with the sonic signature of your room acoustics r... | |
| Review: DeZorel G2 AC filter You have to be REALLY careful when trying to "daisy chain" various types of filters. It is possible to "de-tune" the filter action that each unit was designed to perform with. This is due to inter-action between the two units and the various imped... | |

| Good News for "Threshold" Fans......... I also forgot to mention that Michael Elliot has been running another company doing the same thing under the name of Aria Audio. These two companies share the same phone number of (877) 517-4247. Sean> | |
