| Reviews with all double blind testing? Pabelson, data is the heart of science. To gather it one has to have operationalizations of the concepts in your hypothesis which involves methodology. Your distinction is not meaningful. You are always justifying DBTs as often used in perceptual ... | |
| Reviews with all double blind testing? Rouvin, I substantially agree, of course. I agree moreover about the liabilities of publish or perish in academia and its effect on research, even though I am in a field with no commercial interests, other than public polling. I do study public po... | |
| ELP laser turntable - any comments? Theloveman, what you suggest is what I would hope to do. This would cause me several problems, however, mainly space and isolation support for the ELP. Having know Joe Grado and having asked him why he held the patient on the moving coil but did n... | |
| ELP laser turntable - any comments? Theloveman, thanks for your comments. I have not lived with the ELP but rather have twice heard good demonstrations of it versus other tables and once master tapes. I have a very excellent Shindo Labs 301 vinyl system that outperforms everything I... | |
| Best Isolation HRS? SRA? Zoethecus? Symposium? Steve, not that I really care, but it is not true that Herzan makes the Halcyonic units and rebrands them. | |
| Best Isolation HRS? SRA? Zoethecus? Symposium? Elberoth2, I cannot really answer your question about whether it is worth the price of admission nor that about whether investment in other components would be more worthwhile. In my experience the answer for me was regretably, yes. I suspect that... | |
| Best Isolation HRS? SRA? Zoethecus? Symposium? Elberoth2, I am suggesting here that grounding of the noise of the device through rigid supports can be achieved by an active device which also provides isolation through the structure of the shelves and room. I know that spring devices can also a... | |
| How come there is no thread on the RealityCheck? Splaskin, this is what George Louis emailed to me. "RealDisc™ doesn't eliminate or replace theneed for ClearDisc™ except for treating purposed when a disc isn't inordinately contaminated with dust and fingerprints." I think you are saying the same... | |
| Best Isolation HRS? SRA? Zoethecus? Symposium? Mrdavid, I think the thread is long past what you are concerned about. Perhaps, Avphile reintroduced it.Elberoth2, I hesitate to suggest various active isolators because of their cost, but they are the only solutions I know of. I have also found t... | |
| How come there is no thread on the RealityCheck? Splaskin, from all indications you are correct. Apparently there are still instances where you use ClearDisk. It sounds like you use RealDisc to clean off old ClearBit on originals. I assume that you then reburn copies on which you do not use Read... | |
| How come there is no thread on the RealityCheck? There have been many posts concerning Real Disk on Audioasylum General, with many finding there to be further improvement. I have ordered some, but note it is not a total replacement for ClearDisc. | |
| Best Isolation HRS? SRA? Zoethecus? Symposium? Elberoth2, yours is the question that divides different solutions. Goldmund strongly advocates grounding to the earth. Soft mounts, such as magnetic, spring, rubber, and bladder isolations, however, seek to isolate the components from vibrations t... | |
| Heard the $325000 Acapella's Sphaeron excaliburs? Dmurfet, did the plasma tweeter stand out as better than the rest of the speaker. I have not heard the new Violins, but this was the case with them previously. It was also the case on the Campenelles (Sp?). | |
| Best Isolation HRS? SRA? Zoethecus? Symposium? Geoffkait, or you could partially fill the bladders with fluids as Kworks does. Filling the center with sand would also lower the resonant frequency. | |
| SPL METER? ATI OR RADIO SHACK Eldartford, as always I seek to avoid equalization other than by placement or absorbtion. I just don't like all those parts.You should hear the benefits of the Halcyonics on both vinyl and digital. Too expensive, however. |
