| Most Important, Unloved Cable... Wow...crickets chirping surely the OP or at least one of all the others who claim here miracles from bits of wire would want to pocket $20KMmmm ...it would seem all these incredible claimed audible differences might not be that audible after all..... | |
| 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. | |
| Hope for the blues.. This kid gets it! Fantastic. Thanks for sharing this beautiful moment. | |
| Thiel Customer Service - New ownership is terrible!!! - WHAT HAPPENED TO THIS COMPANY ? 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. Hopefully I am wrong. But usually they get rid of all the key... | |

I can sure understand how a speaker mighr be like a loved one to some folks.I am just pointing out that our expectations need to adjust to the new reality of poor customer service being the norm these days and therefire give Thiel time t... | |
| 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... | |
| Optical Toslink cable quality? Is there a difference? One word JITTERIf the cable works at the bandwidth required (no dumbing down or reduction of the digital data conveyed in the signal and no dropouts) then all the digital reaches the destination and digital data is perfectly preserved.However, aud... | |
| Maestro faceplate - does it make a difference? @geoffkait No war path. Just pointing out that audio equipment is designed and built to produce high fidelity audio reliably without all manner of tin foil tweaks. No different from anything else that is designed and built for a specific task. I... | |
| Why is good, deep bass so difficult? - Myths and their Busters +1 Audiokinesis and Erik15" and larger woofers are key to good bass. You can’t beat the advantage of a large surface area except with multiple woofers. Multiple woofers are harder to drive so not a good choice. Basically....One 15" woofer is equiv... | |
| Maestro faceplate - does it make a difference? @glennewdick +1If you find something that shouldn't make a difference but does make a difference then it is time to either 1) check and root out a faulty piece of equipment (lose wire, broken down capacitor, ground loop, faulty software/firmw... | |
| Mini Review of Uptone ISO Regen and UltraCap LPS-1 Power Supply Combo Interesting finding. I agree that YMMV. Some DACs most certainly will benefit from devices such as ISO Regen, however, most DACs are designed and intended to work well without it. Ultimately it may boil down to individual system vagaries such as t... | |
| Upgrade path from Wilson WattPuppy 7s? - seeking advice Keep looking. Your WP7 are as good as if not better than what you auditioned. When you hear something that much better you will know right away. The fact you are undecided after an audition means neither speaker was convincingly better than what y... |
