| New Zu Mission cable @ Salmonsc - at first I thought you were talking about on again/off again sales, but Holy Crap! Their website is down and they're launching a new one! Again!? Strange goings on at Chez Zu... | |
| biwire trick No just plain wrong. If one wanted to roll off the treble ever so slightly then there are better tools for that, such as tone controls, an EQ or more room treatments etc.Who said anything about tone control or rolled off treble? Please re-read my ... | |
| How essential is shielding? What I'm trying to say is that I believe that useful generalizations can often be made about the typical characteristics of a particular design approach, even in the absence of carefully controlled experiments.True, but how would you isolate the g... | |
| Your homemade tweaks? I started a post relating to changing the wiring order in a biwire setup. As I stated in the thread, I'm not sure it qualifies as a tweak, since it's really just changing the leads around and thus altering the signal flow. But it's easy, free, and... | |
| How essential is shielding? Devil's advocate: Given that a system is dead quiet with unshielded cables, how are any of you comparing shielded and unshielded cables, and know that the 'openness' that was mentioned (or any other sonic difference) is due specifically to an abse... | |
| biwire trick I would argue that this "trick" is definitely the wrong way to bi-wire speakersWrong? Different. | |
| biwire trick Yes, the MD description I used/quoted is not the same as what I'm describing (single cable + jumper arrangement), but it led me to think of what I've described here. I stand by my first statement -- I hear more air, more dimensionality, larger sta... | |
| biwire trick I love all you pessimistic audiophiles out there. For us, it's "prove it." The reason I tried it is as follows from the aforementioned description of the Nordost jumpers on MD:"Diagonal Bi-WireFor those looking for maximum performance from their b... | |
| Grilles or No Grilles Ah yes, one of my favorite standards from the 40's."Grille Of My Dreams".Audiofeil (Threads | Answers | This Thread)Damn, you're old. | |
| New Zu Mission cable Do any of you know why they discontinued all their old lines of cable? | |
| New Zu Mission cable Artmaltman, you've asked for comparisons a couple times now. At 65% off and a 60 day guarantee, why don't you just buy some? | |
| Cable Elevators killed my bass Not sure why my last response didn't post -- I heard small differences with the ESD's: more air, clarity and separation. For $40 shipped for b-stock and a 30 day money back, it's a no-brainer. | |
| Grilles or No Grilles Dealing with this issue now -- as I've come to accept that my speakers sound better with grills off, but look much better with them on. Argh... I just submitted a thread proposal on professional speaker re-grilling, as I would like to re-grill the... | |
| New Zu Mission cable So now you've got your choice of prices: 50% off new Event, 65% off new Mission, or 75% B-stock on either. JOhnnyb53 has a point, but this bizarre fluctuation in prices and sales over the last few months is confusing to say the least. I can see Je... | |
| New Zu Mission cable I don't get that. Why after launching a new brand a few months ago with great fanfare do they now have B-stock at 75% off? Also the Event line, which seems to have been launched guerilla-style and is better than Mission, also has B-stock at 75% of... |
