| Does Time alignment and Phase coherency make for a better loudspeaker? @audition__audio , That different time correct loudspeakers have different tonal balances suggest that your complaint might be the result of something other than time correctness. Other than the Thiel CS 5 and 5i, I don’t think the other Thiel mo... | |
| The volume of my speakers going down by itself and going back again in a minute or two Your new to you 20 year old pre and power amp might need a tech check. | |
| Adding a “safe haven” forum for discussion of tweaks? "I think we can all agree..." and if you don't we'll label you a heretic, and burn you at the stake. I think the proposal to convert this from a forum to exchange information into one that restricts to protect affirmation, is a very sad one indeed... | |
| Does Time alignment and Phase coherency make for a better loudspeaker? The human ear brain processing can differentiate between the initial primary sound and the reflected sounds so long as there is enough time between those sounds. Something that microphones are challenged to do. Which is not to say that microphones... | |
| Does Time alignment and Phase coherency make for a better loudspeaker? ^The subject of DSP is perhaps for another thread. But, as pertains to the subject at hand; DSP can be make available time and phase coherence to those that wouldn't otherwise have the considerable chop's necessary to accomplish it, and make it mu... | |
| Does Time alignment and Phase coherency make for a better loudspeaker? ^It might be imprudent to overgeneralize conclusions from this research. A loudspeaker that is phase coherent might not be time coherent, though a loudspeaker that is time coherent will be phase coherent. That there was some evidence reported (tho... | |
| Thiel Owners @thieliste, Jim Thiel used Goertz Alpha-Core when developing the CS 3.7's Thiel Audio used to also reccomend; Straightwire (Maestros) OCOS Kimber As there is some design overlap, also consider: Wireworld | |
| Thiel Owners @tomthiel, Do you have 3.5 replacement drivers? That would be excellent news! One of the pairs just previously posted for sale, had after market mid-ranges FYI: PM sent | |
| Thiel Owners ^Besides locale, finding ones with genuine OEM drivers is paramount. | |

| A move has me thinking of a CD changer....? Streaming services have differing quality. The better services are certainly better than radio when comes to “…dynamic range and frequency bandwidth.”, comparable to CD quality. Streamers can offer a digital broadcast of radio stations from aroun... | |

| Best DAC+Volume Control under $1000 (used) Ideally, you would use a hi-bit (such as a 32 bit) DAC with built in digital volume control, with an output voltage that is similar to the input voltage of your power amps sensitivity for full output. The digital volume controls on these newer hig... |
