| What are some good things to do when going to an audition Yes, bring your own CDs. If the dealer has a versatile set-up, request a room size that is closest to your own. Also, if you have space restrictions at home, request that the speakers be placed approximately the same distance from the wall. If yo... | |
| Will increasing speaker cable AWG make a difference in sound quality? As a long time user of (small gauge) Audience speaker cables, I am skeptical. I have tried highly regarded, larger gauge cables (e.g. PAD, Inakustik, etc.), and have always returned to Audience. I am not arguing that thinner gauge is better, but ... | |
| Building stands for Harbeth 40.2's Yogi or Whipsaw- should I use some form of protection on the top of the extended tenon ? I don't want to damage the bottom of the speaker. Maybe some form of protective coating or thin rubber top ? I used nothing, and there were no marks on th... | |
| Building stands for Harbeth 40.2's Does anyone have the dimension of the extended tenon on the TonTragers ? I’ll take a stab from memory alone: ~20mm high and 20mm wide | |
| Building stands for Harbeth 40.2's if insulting me does help, please have at it. If you take at as an insult that I am pointing out the absurdity of your claim, that’s on you. There are many characterizations of the TonTragers, including negative ones, that would not be hyperbo... | |
| Building stands for Harbeth 40.2's "the TonTraegers look hideous" ... Also, my opinion is not hyperbolic. 🤣🤣🤣 | |
| Building stands for Harbeth 40.2's @grislybutter Yes, of course it was implied that it was your opinion. The question that I was attempting to get at is what value you might possibly add to a conversion by calling a design that a high percentage of Harbeth owners happen to find a... | |
| Building stands for Harbeth 40.2's To each his own. But if they’re not to your liking, you felt compelled, at least in this instance, to assert that they’re "hideous"?! 😂 | |
| Building stands for Harbeth 40.2's @akg_ca Thank you. To be clear, I was happy with the TonTragers, and do believe that they are well-designed to compliment Harbeth speakers. My pedantry stems primarily from my experiences with isolation devices under speakers, which, when proper... | |
| Building stands for Harbeth 40.2's I used TonTrager with my 30.1, and they were excellent. They also looked very attractive (the photos posted is not a good one to judge by). But let's be clear about something: the speakers are not decoupled from the stands. | |
| AUDIO SCIENCE REVIEW and $50 to spend......... I find it remarkable that some posters are incapable of taking @prof seriously. His views are well-founded, typically well articulated, and as balanced as anyone's could be, especially on contentious topics. He also has relevant professional expe... | |

| Shunyata Alpha HC Ztron power cord (discontinued) vs Shunyata Venom V10 NR cord (current) I'll PM you. | |
| Shunyata Alpha HC Ztron power cord (discontinued) vs Shunyata Venom V10 NR cord (current) FWIW, Grant (of Shunyata) was very helpful to me when I was considering various used options. I ended up with a Black Mamba CX HC, which he recommended highly. That was a couple of years ago, and I had a more recent exchange with him in which he ... |
