| Electrostatic speaker cables... Hmmm..... They recommend a speaker cable that doesn't exist. Finding a cable with all three of those characteristics at the same time might be a good trick. Nordost's are "reasonable" in terms of inductance and capacitance but have a higher nomina... | |
| The Hives:Real Deal or just a tease??? HA HA HA !!! I would've loved to see / hear your sons reaction Jeff : ) There's something about playing the Pistols on an Oracle with thousands of dollars of support gear behind it that just doesn't seem "right" though. Have we become "the establi... | |
| Why is Shahinian not more popular Duke, Shahinian may not WANT dealers for very specific reasons other than production volume. It is possible that the dealers he has dealt with in the past may not have been reliable and / or known how to really market / set up his products. As suc... | |
| High Sensitvity = good transient response ? Duke, I've heard the CAR's ( or is it KAR's ?? ). I've commented here that i thought they sounded pretty good for a vented system. I do have to say that using very efficient drivers does give you a BIG advantage though when it comes to tuning vent... | |
| The Hives:Real Deal or just a tease??? I've got the White Stripes disc and thought it was decent overall. Kind of a cross between sarcastic 60's rock ( Kinks, etc.. ) and minimalist punk of the 70's / 80's. was going to pick up the Hives disc soon, so thanks for the affirmation. The li... | |
| Musical Fidelity A3 24 Up/oversampling DAC Jason, if you bought the unit new, contact your dealer and discuss it with him. If you bought it used, contact Musical Fidelity and see what they have to say.As to the "traps" that you are talking about, did you mean Audioprism rather than Audioqu... | |
| Why is Shahinian not more popular They sound too much like music and lack the "flash" of "hi-fi" speakers. They are more a speaker that you come to love rather than sells you the minute you hear it.They are also a little harder to set up due to their radiation patterns. Someone th... | |
| High Sensitvity = good transient response ? It is possible to achieve good transient response and have high efficiency in a bass driver. Trying to achieve great extension AND high efficiency is a tough thing to achieve though. The problem with most high efficiency designs in terms of bass r... | |
| Will painting an acoustic panel lower absorbency? I would venture to say that painting the panels would lower and alter their absorbency. I would HIGHLY suggest reading Jon Risch's website regarding the sound dampening panels that he designed. To briefly summarize his suggestions, you should take... | |
| Pure Monstrosity re: Monster tm cables For sake of clarity, i brought up "consumer education" following up on Viridian's comments. I don't think it is any manufacturer's job to educate the public. However, i do feel that it is a manufacturer's job to continually research their field an... | |
| Pure Monstrosity re: Monster tm cables While i can understand where Viridian is coming from, the "service" that Monster is performing is purely profit minded and not intended to "enlighten" the general public. If Monster were trying to improve cable performance, live up to their sales ... | |
| How do I get into a Vandy? John, spoken like you have experience in both aspects. That is, undressing the Vandy's and beautiful women : ) Sean> | |
| Equipment reviews, are they credible? Woo Hoo !!! It is SOOOO nice to have links. THANK YOU Audiogon : ) Sean> | |
| Equipment reviews, are they credible? These are all very valid points. Unless a review from an "unknown" goes into great detail as to other components that have been tried, how the system is configured, if other components or cables were changed to obtain best performance with that sp... |
