| Thiel Owners Tom, thanks. Some form of mechanical break in sounds plausible to me for speakers. | |
| Cable Burn In clearthink,Then why don’t you buy some actual audio cable and conduct some experiments for yourself you seem to be a vocal advocate and promoter of what you seem to think is the "scientific" method you could acquire your own set of verifiable data... | |
| Cable Burn In hifiman5,OP - shadorne and the other measurers insist that if you can't measure it you won't hear it...you might convince yourself you did, but what the hell do your ears know? I mean really who are your ears to tell your brain what sounds are... | |
| Cable Burn In n80,You can see some examples of what I was talking about in this thread.For instance the link to claims by cable purveyors regarding break in.First of all, going to the people who seem to be making dubious or controversial claims for products the... | |
| Cable Burn In n80There is a lot of dubious "wisdom" in the audiophile world.You’ll hear people claiming "break in" is required for literally everything to sound right...even an equipment rack, or a set of isolation feet for your component. It’s a sort of self-p... | |
| Thiel Owners brayeagle,Same here. That's why I own more than one speaker. (Too many, probably, and I'm looking to add another, but can't help myself...) | |
| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? calvinj,So, really, you just find the actual debate to be outside your interest. In other words, you are fundamentally incurious about the very subject you started a thread on. That is just really odd. (Of course it can also be explained by you... | |
| Thiel Owners brayeagle,I play practically every type of music on my system, jazz, rock, fusion, electronica, soundtracks, classical, country, folk, world music, choral, you name it.Sometimes I ride the volume for the comfort of my ears (I do have to watch clas... | |
| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? @calvinjElizabeth I understand all I see is. Lot of blah blah blah I hope you won't mind answering these questions: What exactly where you expecting when you started this thread, if it's different than how the discussion turned out?What would coun... | |
| Thiel Owners ronkent,Nice analogy. I agree the 3.7s do majesty. I always felt they never had me wanting for a larger speaker/bigger sound because they sounded so big!I’ve been happily surprised at how large the 2.7s can sound as well. Never as large as the 3.7... | |
| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? ^^^ Which invokes the old saw:"If you can’t argue the facts, attack the messenger!" | |
| LOUNDSPEAKER FOR $10,000.00 PER PAIR audiotroy,I believe you’ve made those statements about omnis before, and my reply this time will be similar.As for "love/hate" thing, I’ve rarely (actually never) encountered someone who hated my omnis, and rarely seen anyone state a hate for omni... | |
| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? elizabeth,This may come as a shock, but what is "drivel" to you is not drivel to other people. Other people are not you, they have other interests and experience you may not have. You might want to consider that when asking to have "binned" a thre... | |
| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? cleeds,Quite so. The ear is rather insensitive to absolute level. But the ear/brain system is much more adept at detecting relative differences in level. That’s why the value of quick-switching is not nearly as great as prof’s argument suggests.Cl... | |
| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? taras22,So how is it that we can recognize voices that we haven’t heard for a while, say even decades....and even on lowest common denominator transducers like telephones, and in noisy environments where voice articulation is several notches be... |
