| Difference in B&W sound "01-23-15: Danmar123The base (GRANTED), isn't going to perform from a 6"driver x2 as it would from a 12"."I know why you may think that, but its really not true. When it comes to bass, all other things being equal, the only difference when it come... | |
| Audiophile Fakery "Red Rose with their products all outsourced and rebranded...The list goes on and on!"Just about every company does that now. Why single Red Rose out? Do they do something like the OP pointed out, such as installing tubes that aren't part of the c... | |
| Difference in B&W sound "01-22-15: Mkash3Since B&W has poor bass, is it a better idea to go with their bookshelf models and just add a subwoofer? Seems like you'd get their best virtues -- good mids and clean treble -- and just substitute their weakness with a dedica... | |
| Hum in one speaker? Pull the speaker cables out of the binding posts on the speakers and change places. The speaker cable that used to go to the right speaker now goes to the left. And the same thing for the other one. Don't touch the other end of the cables that con... | |

| Audiophile Fakery "01-22-15: SwampwalkerI don't recall the manufacturer but there have been some tube products on the market in the past where the tube had no apparent or audible function. As far as the "fake" engine noise, what happens when you turn the stereo off... | |
| Audiophile Fakery "I don't know if there are any high end audio equivalents of this practice, but could there be?"I don't know of any, but I know who the car companies can call. I've read many AG posts that praise Robert Grost from Unity/Cerious audio. I'm a fan my... | |
| In defense of ABX testing After my last post something tells me I won't get anywhere, but here go."if test are not done scientifically and are not based on "opinions" they really aren't real to me. How does one measure whether the equipment accurately demonstrated the soun... | |
| In defense of ABX testing "And the findings, results, of the listening test?Just curious what is behind your thinking of needing so many samples for your listening test?"The real issue here is that you don't care about any tests that were done. You've got your emotions tie... | |
| In defense of ABX testing "50 to 100 samples you say? Why not make it 100 to 200? Over how many years do you expect your ABX listening test experiment to take?Just curious have you ever A/B compared 2 or 3 cables to one another? More than 3 or 4 at a time? Could you hear a... | |
| Best tube amp for electrostatic speakers "01-22-15: MapmanZd,Well, there you go then. I don't doubt it can be done with the right amp and sound very good. I'll keep my eyes open for a chance to hear ML and tube amps myself."OK, but how? If the OP can't listen to live acoustical instrumen... | |
| Best tube amp for electrostatic speakers Broadstone,"To answer one question regarding the comparison of live versus recorded music, especially using the piano for reference, we have a piano and, yes, the same notes either recorded or live create the same discomfort. This fact, of course ... | |
| Best tube amp for electrostatic speakers "Relatively few ML owners use tube amps I would think. Tube amps have never been in the picture."Actually, that's not true. I've seen many ML systems that were powered by tubes. Here's a few examples. My VAC 30/30 had no problem driving my SL-3's.... |
