| Audiophile Truth 23 It's the same for car reviews. The reviewer practically falls over himself, doting on the car's attributes only to take exception to it a year later when comparing to the newer version, bringing up 'obvious' faults of the older one.One must take n... | |
| I am set on all but speakers, need advice on those Dare I suggest you try to find someone who can demo a pair of Tonian Labs TL-D1 speakers? They are musical first, and can be detailed or even analytical second, depending on your set up. They excel at chamber, piano, violin and small ensemble work... | |
| Help with new system I don't know if you're still looking for a decent DAC but you really should take a look at the Schiit Bifrost. I've had mine for only 2 days now and I'm really impressed. For the money, and with a 15 day trial/return policy (with 5% restocking fee... | |
| Do you believe in Magic? Eve should have taken another bite of the apple so everything hence would be certain. | |
| In defense of quantum products. Never watched an episode either. | |
| whats in a name? Nowadays the name of a product acts like a catch of sorts, unless one is of an older generation that has established itself. Case in point-I just bought a Schiit Bifrost DAC. It was the name that caught my attention but it is the sound that has me... | |
| Sometimes Less is More? My 'sunroom' is outside and around the corner from my front door. Its open all around and above as well. Nothing would work there since its technically outside. All kidding aside, my only room to listen in is my living room in my apartment which i... | |
| FM Radio is dead ....R.I.P A while back I was getting ready to pull the trigger on an older, highly rated tuner, a Philips AH673 or something of that caliber, and instead, got a Centrance DACmini and have been streaming ever since. It would be nice to use my old NAD 4300 (a... | |
| JBL Connoisseurs... I believe it was in an old issue of the HiFi Critic, a Disney sound engineer submitted plans for building his version of a speaker. It was quite large. He used only JBL drivers and horns and went on to say that they made some of the the best drive... | |
| Long IC pre to amp Zu Audio Mission ICs. I use a 15' pair from my Centrance DACmini to my stereo and there is no roll off of the highs, lows or anything else. They work great.I got them for about half price bidding over on ebay from Zu Audio. | |
| Thin Walled Speakers -Tonian, Musical Affairs, etc It could be our ideas of coloration differ. Hues can be used to aid in tone. Gradations can enhance. Just how much is needed, or wanted, is in the ear of the designer. My take on coloration is of a slight application. Taking into consideration tha... | |
| Playback Design with Hifi tuning fuse Seems a simple enough task for a manufacturer.A quick test would no doubt ascertain current performance but do they test for the heat generated over a life cycle or is it mathematically arrived at?It boggles my mind that a fast blow fuse goes in a... | |
| Thin Walled Speakers -Tonian, Musical Affairs, etc True that (god how I hate that expression).But if the cabinet's and driver's resonances are taken into consideration (designed in), in advance, and the drivers are adequately attached, the cabinet adequately braced, and in the case of the Tonians,... | |
| Thin Walled Speakers -Tonian, Musical Affairs, etc Anchan,None taken :). There was a time, albeit short, when I listened to some Queens of the Stone Age,Rob Zombie and Marilyn Manson to see how they fared and they acquitted themselves quite favorably. In fact, I was surprised at how good they soun... |
