| 2017 vs. 1990s - How far we have come I met Ndugu Chancler. Ndugu who I just heard you all say? Ndugu is the drummer on Billie Jean.Ndugu is the force behind Billie Jean - that one magical take or moment. The drumming on Billie Jean is so exquisitely timed to GROOVE! It may be the mos... | |
| Ugly vs Gogeous speakers I am not a fan of the aesthetics of most speakers especially as most aesthetics lead to compromises in sound. I don't like designs that try to disguise the speaker (Nautilus, Vivid, Sonus Faber)However I like the industrial steampunk & Art Dec... | |
| Most Important, Unloved Cable... @dynaquest14 The larger rims do help with cornering. This is rather useless on an SUV. In the end, your brother will just be more likely to have a rougher ride, more expensive tires and a bent rim the next time he hits a pothole!I have large AMG... | |
| Most Important, Unloved Cable... @jinjuku You won’t get anywhere with this lot. They make wild claims and then back down and come up with 1000 excuses when challenged. There is also a big lucrative market for selling all these pointless bits of audio jewelry - so don’t expect any... | |
| Why is good, deep bass so difficult? - Myths and their Busters @soundsrealaudio Can you find any multi million dollar recording studio using 6" toy size woofers for bass on their main monitors?You can't because these are professional facilities that do things correctly without following some weird urban ... | |
| Why are tweeters so high off of the ground in many tower speakers... @dlcockrum Your CS5is will vary quite a lot in presentation with ear height just like Artemis EOS. I explained in the first post why - it has everything to do with the crossover of non-concentric tweeters and the mid. You get lobbing or cancellati... | |

| Why is good, deep bass so difficult? - Myths and their Busters Large 15" woofers don’t have to do higher frequencies and are never required to operate as fast as a tweeter! Duh. Face Palm. However they do reproduce bass frequencies orders of magnitude better than small 6 or 8" woofers. Those who would deny th... | |
| Why are tweeters so high off of the ground in many tower speakers... Your speakers have overlapping tweeter/mid response from 2KHz to 8 KHz so ear height will dramatically alter the presentation.Most speakers with a steep crossover can do +/- 10 degrees from mid point between mid range and tweeter without any audib... | |
| CD changer At one time I had three 300 CD Changers from Sony. I wouldnt go with that approach these days. Get a PC and a DAC and a subscription to Tidal and burn you collection to the hardrive. | |

Here is the story from someone who should know https://www.strata-gee.com/kathy-gornik-why-i-sold-thiel/Reading between the lines it seems to match what I see happening countless times.

| Thiel Customer Service - New ownership is terrible!!! - WHAT HAPPENED TO THIS COMPANY ? LOL. This is normal. I can’t remember the last time I made a phone call and someone answered the phone at any corporation. Usually they are so busy and experiencing an unusually high number of calls....Sorry but this has become NORMAL.American MBA... | |
| Floor standing speakers in entertainment center You need to soffit mount. This requires a flat front surface and a method to flush mount the baffle of your speaker so that it is seamless. If you don’t flush mount and your cabinetry has holes then you will get plenty of edge diffraction. Also th... |
