| Tidal Speakers owners Argyro, I am using BMC gear. They have no preamp or line stage. Their DAC1 PRE has an optional line stage module that allows analog input. I have this option. In fact presently I am using a Weiss Dac202 driven by my Macintosh computer into one of ... | |
| Tidal Speakers owners Argyro, it is a special order Hubble. This is all I know other than the fact that it very substantial and has only brass and bakelite. I got it with a Sound Application SA-1 for review. I also know that it far surpasses anything else I have heard. | |
| Why do intelligent people deny audio differences? Mrtennis, does anybody buy a speaker if they don't think it sounds good? We certainly survive based on our use of our senses and our ears can sense the full range of sound, not merely some limited aspects. | |
| Tidal Speakers owners Argyro, I have never heard of an outlet capable of doing this but this is what I measure. I'm dumbfounded, but it does relieve me of my concerns about the low volume. | |
| Why do intelligent people deny audio differences? Rja, I don't think anyone is saying this, and I hope no one is saying "There is no evidence of any difference, so you are delusional." | |
| Tidal Speakers owners Quanmer, I am in no way saying that I dislike my Tidals. It is also possible that I am playing them loudly because they can take it and the signal I am sending is so clean. I am just trying to understand why I am playing a such a much higher level... | |
| Why do intelligent people deny audio differences? There are all the same arguments in this thread-prove to me you can hear a difference, listeners are delusional, physics says there are no differences, charlatans are always eager to take people's money versus I like what I hear. I have two brothe... | |
| Tidal Speakers owners Quanmer, that is what I was thinking, but the volume relative to the 86 db speakers suggests much lower. | |
| Tidal Speakers owners Argyro, I agree. I have the BMC M1 amps and play them at somewhere in the range of 53-59 on their volume. Most others who have them place at no more than the 49, including on 86 db efficient speakers. What is the efficiency of the Contriva Diacera... | |
| Tidal Speakers owners Bryoncunningham, the Munich audio show is going on now with many listening to quality speakers and deciding which sound better. Jorn may not respond quickly. | |
| Tidal Speakers owners Roysen, You say, "Please then imagine there existed a single measurement tool which shows neutrality. This measurement would undoubtably have shown the same degree of neutrality with or without listeners. That is a fact and not subjective." All th... | |
| Tidal Speakers owners Holenneck, you refuse to understand what I am saying and to exaggerate what benefit we can get from measurement. I said, "As I said repeatedly, measures of frequency response, phase, and dispersion are goals and used. But there is much beyond this... | |
| How do you judge your system's neutrality? Bryoncunningham , You say, "Or my post from yesterday...People should choose components according to their own preferences, not someone else's.That is another straw man." I must admit it is beyond my comprehension what you are saying here, but as ... | |
| How do you judge your system's neutrality? Mrtennis, I have given up that quest, nor will I trust most who might tell me there is such a speaker. | |
| Tidal Speakers owners Holenneck, no I don't misunderstand. There is much that we know about how to design speakers, such as a good frequency response, wide dispersion, and sometime good phase consistency. But as Jorn suggests speakers with these good characteristics do... |
