Is it all in my head??
mrdecibel just can’t seem to help himself.—- “given this thread some time, and I assure you, others will follow, as he has plenty of company.”One could also talk about the characters who very predictably enter these threads to retread their usual ...

Mr. Gabriel Claimed: “As stated in #1 the local current and electromagnetic effects directly affect the sonic performance of the component.”Then you’d the no it would be a cinch for Gabriel to supply measured results showing the output of an audio... 
Why Power Cables Affect Sound
@bigkidzEvery audiophile who has experimented with better power cables has heard the performance advantage they offer. Not true at all.  Outside of certain audiophile site bubbles, plenty of audiophiles, audio enthusiasts etc don't hear any differ... 
Magicos are chesty
What took sciencecop so long to show up and browbeat anyone dissing Magico? 
Watts, and clarity.
Anyone else curious how clearthink talks in real life? 
Thiel owners please chime in.
You might want to take your thoughts to the very extensive Thiel owners thread.BTW, do you mean you switched to the 8 ohm out on your amp and you prefer the sound with the Thiels?  That seems very surprising to me. The Thiels impedence tends to tr... 
Magicos are chesty
erik,I’ve always appreciated your contributions as a DIY speaker builder, without anything to sell. I’m sure you would have a good ear for various speaker colorations. Though, I’m curious: how certain do you feel about attributing the chesty color... 
Magicos are chesty
erik,Though I believe I know the coloration you are talking about with "chesty," there’s also the case FOR voices sounding "chesty."That is: many systems produce a sort of hologram of a human voice that sounds like a voice without a body. It’s all...

Magicos are chesty
The McIntosh speakers I've listened to are to my ears perhaps the worst "high end" speakers I've encountered.   
Why Power Cables Affect Sound
I understood his last two sentences to mean that if one is skeptical, not to be antagonistic. Which I abided by.Now, if the OP meant that ANY suggestion of skepticism was by nature "antagonistic" then that I think is unwarranted. There’s no reason... 
Why Power Cables Affect Sound
boxer12,So you fall in to the "If I just repeat the same criticism without any more evidence, and without addressing the other person’s points, that will do."That doesn’t exactly elevate the conversation here. In fact it seems rather...antagonisti... 
Magicos are chesty
I heard just a tiny bit of this on the Magico A3.  I have a few tracks that bring it out - some Johnny Cash and even some Julie London tracks.It wasn't nearly as bad as a number of other speakers, but it was there.Personally, the best I've ever he...
