| Schumann Resonator @cd318 - my point was that I was surprised that the improvement from changing arms from the Rega P5 arm (RB700) to the one from the P8 (RB880) ON the P5 table was much more significant than when I changed the table itself (of course keeping the RB... | |
| Schumann Resonator @douglas_schroeder Nice article.You're going to raise some temperatures around here with MC at the head of the line of true believers regarding some audiophile tweaks like this Schumann Resonator thing (which I think is among the craziest I've hea... | |
| Schumann Resonator @willgolf - true about Pat Metheny, but that is true about almost everyone, except maybe Neil Young. Although Pat's newest double album from last year is very reminiscent of his early incredible albums. Not "experimental" at all.I've heard of Al D... | |
| Schumann Resonator I’ve seen Pat Metheny/PM Group probably 8-10 times (including the disastrous Orchestrion tour) and have at least 12 albums, the majority on vinyl.I wouldn’t say favorite though....that has to be Donald Fagen, never to tour again solo, only as Stee... | |
| Schumann Resonator Thanks @willgolf for the honest assessment. Sorry to hear about your vision problems which should only improve your hearing. Sounds like you are a major tweaker and can determine which are worthwhile. I'm not surprised the Schumann Resonator is no... | |
| Schumann Resonator I appreciate your sincere honesty @mahgister. MC - I don't want to go through the hassle of ordering, arranging them, testing them and then probably having to pack them back up, go to a shipping place and return them.If I can get ONE or TWO people... | |
| Schumann Resonator So what was the final blind test tally for these things?I’ve only heard positives anecdotally, which is fine for those that are happy with them, and the only blind test I’ve heard told me they did nothing to the sound in a legit blind test. He has... | |
| Most rooms don’t need acoustical treatment. As someone always looking to optimize the sound of their system, I had been reading about the virtues of acoustic treatments and the mention of GIK acoustics several times on the 'gon.A fellow member friend got some treatments from them that were ... | |
| If you don't have a wide sweet spot, are you really an audiophile? Great topic. I would never consider very directional speakers. I am fortunate to own KEFs which although sound best in a nice large area, they sound very good anywhere in direct listening range except in back or equal to them in the middle, which... | |
| Schumann Resonator You’re welcome @mahgister. | |
| Schumann Resonator +1 @thecarpathian to @millercarbon saying the dramatic degradation of sound quality taking out 5 SG’s from his system is sad for all the time and effort he invested on the other myriad tweaks, equipment, electric upgrades, etc.I bet you can’t find... | |
| Schumann Resonator Mahgister - you are not nuts. Like you say, you are conducting experiments in a lab type environment. You are not imposing a lab look into your living area like Chuck McGill on Better Call Saul. Sounds like you are having fun which is what this ho... | |
| Schumann Resonator Or MC’s. | |
| Schumann Resonator If anyone watches Better Call Saul, some of these unnamed posters/painters seeking to keep out EMR from their electric current remind me of Jimmy’s brother Chuck. Their stereo power has to be 100% pristine clean. Unless you are running off of your... | |
| Schumann Resonator He doesn’t think that is the case. Everything is a startling improvement. |
