| Thiel Owners Tom Based on what I vision a solid core wire would be more coherent than a stranded cable. A solid core will have 1 single path vs a multitude of paths of many fine wires as a group..resulting in group delay? I sold and owned Dunlavy speakers. He... | |
| Thiel Owners Any input or updates for types of wire used inside the speaker cabinet? Any experimentation with routing or any added material for resonance control of internal speaker wire? TomD | |
| Holy Holostages!! I am come here to call out the doubly dumb Dilbert Dudes who wish to tear down men and women alike. Those among us who work outside the tired and worn pages of science in the natural world. Some of us with creative minds research and study newly d... | |
| Stack Audio Auva Isolator I am Tom the Audio Tweak associated with Live Vibe and I have used the same 1and only moniker for the 24 years of posting on Audiogon. I have never spoken to Tommyu or know anything about that person. Tom | |
| Thiel Owners Thanks Tom. I was thinking of the internal shape of the cabinet and bracing as well as the shape that is displaced by any port of any shape or length Those right angles of corners, braces and oddly shaped ports must generate turbulence and interf... | |
| Thiel Owners Tom Thiel did you or your brother Jim ever study or observe any benefit of the structural placement of driver's or port tubes as they relate to laminar flow inside of a speaker cabinet. Are there any published studies on turbulence generated by in... | |
| Live Vibe Audio All materials have a different velocity and all alloys of those same materials have their own transmission rate.In some cases the addition of 1/4 of 1 percent of an element to the alloy can be heard. TomD | |
| Live Vibe Audio Yes. TomD | |
| Live Vibe Audio Live Vibe does not use stainless steel but instead a low speed steel chosen for its sound quality. I know I was part of the listening panel. We had several of the same platforms cut from several grades of steel. The hardest one was the worst as th... | |
| Thiel Owners Speaking of fans my Music Fan reduces speaker baffle and room boundary effects. Makes for more focus within a larger soundstage. Bass has greater articulation like applying a giant comb. I would expect Doug and Tom’s film approach could've be app... | |
| Stack Audio Auva Isolator Leave you all with this. Shape is very important. Smooth shaped with hidden seams and joints can make a huge difference in how music travels. Be a brick as are most of the devices shown look, or be a bullet as are none of the devices shown look.... | |
| Stack Audio Auva Isolator Which I have a US patent on fill materials for string instruments and legs and footers for audio gear. TomD | |
| Stack Audio Auva Isolator Facten, The nuts are threaded to a shaft that is attached to the device which is flat and creates the right angle where they intersect. This flat device acts as a backboard for interfering energy to travel back and for between the device and the ... | |
| Stack Audio Auva Isolator Let’s start from the top. You see an adjustable thread. Adjustment is good but threads exposed increases the time energy flows..not in a straight or uncorrupted line. Exposed threads generate shear wave energy. Waves that travel in 2 directions... | |
| Stack Audio Auva Isolator The floor of your room is at a minimum 1/6 of the entire surface area of all other planes of your room. The idea is how to best use that surface area to its maximum benefit. TomD |
