| Earl Scruggs dies at 88 My late father was big fan of Earl, I used to enjoy listening to his meticulaously cared for 78's with him. RIP | |
| wyred 4 sound vs odyssey khartago I'm not familiar with either amp, but let me remind all that these particular Thiels; the CS 2's are not that difficult a load: Thiels specs: 2.87 DB/2.83V/m, 6 Ohms nominal/5 Ohms minimum, 40-250 Watts/channel recommended. Stereophiles measuremen... | |
| "And now for something completely different": Check out the imaging! | |
| Best Live Album Ever... I don't know about "Best", but even if some were strung out, I really liked: The Concert for Bangladesh. | |
| Specs on PSE Studio Mark IV Sorry, the above link was posted differently than when it appeared when previewed. The link is for a PSE Studio SL Preamplifier. The auction ends 04/04/2012. It might be worth a look. | |
| Specs on PSE Studio Mark IV http://app.audiogon.com/listings/pse-studio-sl-preamplifierI have no relationship to seller. | |
| How much can be measured -- and how much cannot? TBG, you've already posted that you've found some speaker measurements helpful. I can't help but wonder if upon further examination, you might find some correlation between some other measurements and some sound characteristics. I like your propos... | |
| Subwoofer with Thiel 2.4s? I'm in agreement with Newbee, I prefer subs in pairs rather than in mono. | |
| Retail? As I said earlier, often times the seller is not the original purchaser. The second hand price will vary over time or circumstances. The newest reseller might only be left with limited resources regarding discovery of the original MSRP of that par... | |
| How much can be measured -- and how much cannot? An understanding of measurements does more than just disqualify mismatched components. Some measurements will indicate specifically how those mismatched components will sound to some degree due to the them being mismatched, it's not just a matter ... | |
| How much can be measured -- and how much cannot? Newbee, I couldn't agree more. | |
| How much can be measured -- and how much cannot? Tbg, how about an amplifier's dBW into impedance? Or the predictable roll off at frequency extremes when there's issues of impedance mismatch or capacitance issues? Antenna and tuner specs can often tell some how well they can receive certain stat... | |
| How much can be measured -- and how much cannot? Tbg, I respectfully disagree. Things like frequency response and dBW just a couple of examples of measurements that can be important in regards to what we might expect to hear. | |
| Retail? I really don't care whether the seller lists an MSRP that was the actual cost of the actual item being sold, or the highest MSRP that an IDENTICAL item being sold ever had, even if that item was regularly discounted. On some level using the MSRP r... | |
| How much can be measured -- and how much cannot? I'll admit the obvious: we can't know all that we don't know. In as much as we might not be able to know in entirety what a system will sound like from specs alone, we can still get an understanding of many of the sound attributes a system will ha... |
