| Synergistic Research Acoustic ART analogue room tr I had an experience with the SR ARTs last night that suggests their impact. Like I first saw in the last RMAF in the SR room, I have bass stations 5.75 inches in front of my Tidals. Accidentally, I bumped one and knocked it over and out of positio... | |
| Phase inverting problem Geoffkait, which cd players invert? Why? What speakers are improperly wired? I know some inexpensive speakers invert the midrange driver. Why would hearing a difference not be the ultimate test? With all the testimony that recording engineers do p... | |
| Audio Desk Vinyl Cleaning System Jtsamarinda, I had a problem with my Vinyl Cleaner not rotating the record. I had a talk with the Cable Company and learned that the second production run had greatly improved the cleaner. I have not retried it, but still remember that it did a gr... | |
| Phase inverting problem All of this discussion doesn't negate the reality that sometimes inverting the signal does sound better. As I said not very often, I grant. I also see no reason to assume that absolute phase is 50/50. It is a cliché. | |
| New amp being touted as among the best ever...... All this discussion is off the mark. How does this thing sound? I saw it at CES, but it was not in use. I have heard some comments that some who have heard it were not impressed. Had it not been so positively reviewed, I doubt it would be discusse... | |
| Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments? Joeyboynj, it would be interesting to side by side compare the new and old SR pcs. | |
| Tidal have you heard them? Are they your favs? I would not discard the Sunrays, but I am quite satisfied with the Contriva Discera SEs. | |
| Phase inverting problem No, no recording engineer could do anything but randomly choose polarity for her mics. Do they flip a coin? Are you sure it is an unbiased coin? What exactly is the correct polarity? The opposite of the wave onset at the mic? | |
| Phase inverting problem False, but I still say we are guessing that recording engineers randomly chose polarity. | |
| Are there new players with HDCD? I think the key element is manufacturers who use the Cirrus Logic Crystal Audio Chips. | |
| Are there new players with HDCD? The Lindemann 680D did play HDCD. Maybe the newer Lindemanns also do. | |
| Phase inverting problem While I would quibble about Atmasphere and Geofkait's 50% figure as just a guess that recording engineers are largely indifferent to absolute phase, I would say that with the capability to change absolute phase, I hear very few instances where the... | |
| Tidal Speakers owners I am toed in at exactly 15ºs which intersects the center line just behind me. I noticed that the Sunrays at CES were also at about 15ºs. It is the realism of the sound stage that strikes me as enhanced with the "right" toe in.There are at least on... | |
| Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments? I only have the Tesla SE Precision AC cord that comes with the SR PowerCell 10SE MkII to experiment with the new choice of resistor plugs and everyone has different tastes, but I much prefer the silver plugs. There is more information and realism ... | |
| Teo XLR Defride,I heard them at CES. They sounded quite good, but they are very, very expensive. In the system I heard the speaker wires cost more than the speakers. |
