| Velodyne HGS Series 1 vs Series 2 Not enough to warrant the price! I checked these out very carefully, and ended up being VERY happy with a clone called the Boston Acoustics PV-1000 at 1/2 the price! | |
| Is 5.1 Really This Bad? Me too. I spent two years assembling an extremely fine 2 ch music system, and there's NO WAY that's going to be transmogrified into a HT...besides, that's the MUSIC room with Steinway and assorted African percussion ornaments.The family room's TV ... | |
| What of your gross annual income is your system? Great thread! Hope it runs a LONG time.Thanks.Justin ThymeAgent #24192Internal Revenue ServiceDepartment of the Treasury | |
| Choice of Wire for Dedicated Line ...swept off the floor at the smelter! A gazillion crystals/inch! | |
| Verity Fidelios VERSUS B&W Nautilus 803's I spoke with Julien Pelchat at Verity about the lack of biwirability, snd he said that they decided to NOT allow users to muck up the sound if using two different sets of cables. There ya have it....The Fidelio (and my Parsifal Encores) have a tru... | |
| Marble or Granite shelfs in a hifi rack? Flex, there's NO WAY that tightened phase, coherency and PRaT can be carried too far! I'm being a bit of a devil's advocate here for sake of lively discussion. You defend (it's ok) the Spectral as ALREADY having great coherence and PRaT, and that ... | |
| Hubbel v Virtual Dynamics v FIM v Purist v Jena Lak, Cryo at 408 hrs?I was going to buy a liquid nitrogen cannister/squiter like the dermatologists use, and start squirt-frezing all my contacts and connectors. Are you sure this isn't sufficient?I would think that the deep freeze occurs mighty q... | |
| Hubbel v Virtual Dynamics v FIM v Purist v Jena I lke the ACMEs too. I don't really like the idea of changing my system's frequency response at the AC outlet! I'd much rather do it right with speaker positioning, room acoustics, and even cables and ICs. The P&S $4 duplex that gets silvered ... | |
| long i/c run...looking for high end cable I run 19' Nordost Red Dawn BALANCED and have an incredibly quiet noise floor (the Belden 83802 AC lines and Pcs help, too). | |
| New RPTV power cord? Isn't the 83802 great? I'm on my 4th roll, for those who want to buy some raw cable by the foot or DIY PC Kits for $33. Let me know. Ernie | |
| B&W 804 nautilus OR Revel f30 F30s are VASTLY better! The coherence is quite superb between the mid and tweeter, very much UNLIKE the 804N.As well, the B&W's bass performance is quite lean, and difficult alleviate given that hot and splashy tweeter.Consequently the Revel c... | |
| Thoughts on the new Mapleshade Seems like the weird phaseyness of Spey's PZM-miced recordings has finally gotten to him, too! | |
| Any Opinions on the new MIRAGE OMNI250's? They are HORRIBLE! Even the mid-fi dealer I spoke with has to sell them agreed. Real marketing hutzpah, but the swimmiest, Valium-like soundstage I ever heard! Phew. | |
| ACME 15a Cryo or FIM 880 for front end???? Hmmm...lots of in-depth response here.I like the ACME silver/cryo a lot. If they're considered "brighter" than I consider that to mean that they're more linear (neutral), and therefore MORE musical, not less! I prefer to accomplish spectral tilt v... | |
| Burn in time...Reality or something else??? Bomarc's got it: human ear/brain adaptive filtering takes what, 20 minutes? Speaker surround, spider and dome burn-in can take hundreds of hours. Cable/electronics burn-in is something I don't quite understand on the molecular level (except the di... |
