| Does Time alignment and Phase coherency make for a better loudspeaker? Little snarky there holmz...I was referring to the sound of multiple musicians playing the same music with space between them. I attend concerts I don’t mix, and ones I do mix I listen to unamplified sound from various areas during sound check inc... | |
| Suggestions for high efficiency speakers? In my post that I know everyone read carefully (except myself) I meant to say I tried Heresy IVs and preferred the IIIs. The record is now corrected. | |
| Does Time alignment and Phase coherency make for a better loudspeaker? Also, "still SOUND like magic." Jeeze.... | |
| Does Time alignment and Phase coherency make for a better loudspeaker? That's "over" not "overe." | |
| Does Time alignment and Phase coherency make for a better loudspeaker? I phase and time align every concert venue I mix (hundreds overe decades) , and my home rig also. I never said phase and time don't matter, I simply was pointing out that live music with no sound reinforcement is never specifically adjusted for ti... | |
| Suggestions for high efficiency speakers? I've owned a pair of Klipsch Heresy IIIs for a while and tried replacing them (out of curiosity) with Heresy...didn't like the sound of the new poly horn so they were outta here (the IIIs have a completely different mid horn throat design using ti... | |
| The New Synergistic Research Purple Fuses People generally don't "hear" fuses because there is simply nothing to hear. Fuses can't and won't change the sound of any component, which explains why the vast majority of audio geeks and component manufacturers don't care about them. "Facial e... | |
| Does Time alignment and Phase coherency make for a better loudspeaker? Ever hear a group of unamplified musicians playing spread apart on a stage...anywhere? No phase or time allignment occurs. Hmmm... | |
| Great song to test bass I looked up something Fremer said showed off bass...it was utterly unlistenable synth crap. I prefer well recorded acoustic bass and drums or if actually testing (phase of subs or new speakers) I like my trusty Stereophile test CD. | |
| Wilson not delivering speakers as scheduled Yeah man...makes you want to throw your drink across the lawn, ya know? | |
| Science that explains why we hear differences in cables? I just replaced a set of speaker cables by the same company with a significant upgrade over what I'm trading in...although there's a 60 day return policy, they claim they sound best after around 500 hours of use so I'll report back in mid January.... | |
| Preamp Opinion Schiit Freya +...incomparable features, 4 tubes that can be bypassed if you feel the need (solving the "should I get tubes?" question), plenty of balanced and single ended ins and outs, amazingly quiet operation...great sound, relatively inexpensi... | |
| The "British Invasion". A question for you old farts out there. The Monkees were a manufactured band cast for a TV show, and the music was written mostly by Boyce and Hart and others and performed by serious studio musicians. Some nice stuff, but although very popular it was barely them although they could pla... | |
| Have you moved away from full range to standmount speakers + subs? "Full Range" speakers are generally small speakers in the same box with larger speakers...sometimes with separately powered woofers. That's it. | |
| Tube vs solid state (with all apologies) For me the fact that SS amp manufacturers often quote a "tube like" quality says it all. My listening rig (amp and preamp anyway) and my guitar amps are all tube. Great sounding SS amps are abundant of course and I use mega powerful SS stuff for l... |
