| Speaker Bass Reduction Mfkeleher, I agree with you. For the most part anyway. As nearly everything anyone says is their opinion. Especially in a subjective hobby as this.However, every once in a while somebody comes along making a statement with such emphasis, whether i... | |
| Listening Fatigue This is rather interesting, Sean. I suspect by this time tomorrow night, you will have fabricated quite a case against me.I'm not ignoring you, well perhaps I am. I'm just dying to see where you take this before I feel I need to step in to rescue ... | |
| Listening Fatigue Good greif, Sean. Here we go again. SSS.I suppose I deserve some of this for a few of the jabs I gave. But knowing you as I do and knowing what you were up to, I simply could not resist. Let me explain what I mean by this:Initially, you made some ... | |
| Please reccomend a good sub cable Audience carries 3 lines of ics that all adhere to the same design technologies at removing much grain, glare, and especially time smear. Their flagship Au24 cable may be perhaps the best value for the price and some to many have suggested that th... | |
| Listening Fatigue Sean, you little turkey. And after all we've been thru together? :) You're darned and determined to make me into a sub-par electrical engineer, aren't you? For pete's sake, don't we already have enough of those lying around? :)But in all seriousne... | |
| Listening Fatigue Sure, Sean. I'd be happy to address the first part. But I'm not going to pretend to be an electrical engineer by explaining exactly how a line-conditioner does what it does. That is, so long as you promise not to pretend either. :)How I would desc... | |
| Listening Fatigue Sean, hope you are doing well. Perhaps you are speaking of poorly designed line conditioners of which there are many.And I am certainly aware of some component mfg'erers who attempt their own flavor of line conditioning within the component itself... | |
| Listening Fatigue Assuming that the components are of a certain caliber (that statement really needs to be qualified), I'm of the opinion that listener fatigue is primarily the result of poorly designed or no AC line conditioning, poorly designed or no vibration co... | |
| Importance of Power Conditioner? Bombaywalla, your statement was in fact non-sensical and self-contradictory. And I will not apologize for pointing that out.You asked "What is wrong with stating 'There are no absolute truths in audio'?"Well, I see at least 4 errors with your ques... | |
| Isolation for power line conditioner? Onhwy61, you do err in the assumption that the quote from my earlier post included cables. It did not. Sorry for the confusion and perhaps the word 'component' should always imply everything. But until now whenever I mentioned the word 'component'... | |
| Importance of Power Conditioner? Bombaywalla, if it is absolutely true that there are no absolute truths when it comes to audio, then how can you make such a non-sensical statement as this? In addition, is it not absolutely true that there are inferior products and superior produ... | |
| Importance of Power Conditioner? There are many inferior power conditioners that rob power, induce their own AC noise, or induce other sonically harmful imperfections into the sonics.But a top-of-the-line line-conditioner(s) are absolutely foundational to any system worth it's we... | |
| 50hz deep enough? I agree with nrchy's statement: "There are people who are bass junkies that buy speakers that only go down to 50Hz because too many speakers do not deliver good realistic bass."But I would edit his statement to say: "There are people who are bass ... | |
| Isolation for power line conditioner? onhwy61, it's been my experience that in a well-assembled system, nearly every positive system improvement is significant and substantial and rather easily acheived. I believe that would seem logical and I'll demonstrate by using the following an... | |
| Pass Labs X-1 -VS- Adcom GFP-750 Preamp DaltonLanny, this almost looks like one of your old threads from a few months ago. Hey, are you running reruns? :)I've owned both the X-1 and X 2.5 and I would suggest that the X2.5 is about 98% the performance of the X-1. This is by no means mean... |
