| Amir and Blind Testing Here’s a perfect example. Teo Audio is truly innovating in the world of audio reproduction. But does your cable show measurable results of what it does? It would be fantastic if it did, but my guess is that the human ear is needed to detect the b... | |
| Amir and Blind Testing I beg to differ that the “amateur with an analyzer” site is doing a service, because he makes errors that manufacturers point out. There are actual, ethical, knowledgeable people doing tech testing that serves the community. Take this guy fo... | |
| Effects of DC charging cable’s insulation a la Audioquest? @rodman99999 Thanks for the response. | |
| recommended oil for well tempered spindle cup Don’t have much to add except that the WTT classic was my first high end turntable in the late 80’s when I discovered vinyl sounded better than digital of that era. I did several tweeks including black platter, arm damping wrap, and even wiring t... | |
| KEF Blade or Blade 2 Wow had no idea magnolia had Blades. I found one no too far away and will try to get a listen to the Latest Blades. | |
| KEF Blade or Blade 2 If you like concentric driver designs, you should consider hearing others as well. I was super excited about the blade based on its design, which seems ideal but was disappointed hearing it at two different shows and also hearing blade 2. TAD (my... | |
| Power Cable Break In - Such a Change! Off topic, but Ozzy can you tell us your history with power conditioners and how you ended up with the Niagara 7000? Personally I had the powerplant 500 (i think it was called back then). After a few years I got a passive device, Acoustic Revive... | |
| Best Isolation Device for Speakers? Not sure how a thread from 18 years ago got revived. The OP (hope he is still with us) mentioned sistrum stands, which actually couple, not decouple. I had some as 20” speaker stands and now use them to get my subs off the floor, to great effec... | |
| What about the floor? Don’t laugh, but I have hard wood floors and never wanted them covered. Some time back I got into golf and bought a 5’x15’ indoor putting green to be able to practice. The only place it could go was right in front of the speakers in my living roo... | |
| God doesn't need to know what time it is. I thought this was going to be a thread about the use or non use of master clocks for dacs, etc. I don’t even wear a watch. A friend gave me some very good copies of expensive watches. She thought it might be a nice accessory, as I was on the... | |
| Subwoofer Choice Question SVS, Majico, JL Audio, REL I’m a big fan of Velodyne. They sold the subwoofer line and it’s now being manufactured and supported again. I’m using 2 of the 10” DDplus in a very large space and up on stands (which means it doesn’t get the boundary gain being on the floor, b... | |
| Power Cable Break In - Such a Change! Every post of yours costs me money! Also running the Niagara 7000, but my next expense is getting a dedicated ac line to it. I tried the very cheapest AUdiquest power cord (from Best Buy) feeding a Furman unit on a small system and was very ... | |
| Slightly OT: The Tragedy of Macbeth I didn’t have any issues hearing the dialog. Perhaps due to my center channel being concentric? (Elac Adante) I believe the actors were speaking in iambic pentameter. What was interesting was the choice of aspect ratio. We didn’t finish the movie... | |
| Interesting comment on Bose Speakers..... The premium Bose system in my 2010 911 is really mediocre sounding. The only people that think it sounds good don’t know anything about audio. Modern Bose is a joke in audiophile community and no kind of praise can ever change that. There’s also n... | |
| Changed subs from speaker level to XLR after many years. Wow! Interesting about Rhythmik’s suggestions. One of the things I noticed yesterday was that turning on the subs (via XLR) caused even higher guitar notes to sound fuller and more in the room. Listening to the quieter tracks of David Crosby’s if onl... |
