| Natural sound (REL Subwoofers) The input impedence of the speaker-level inputs to the REL is way way above the speaker's impedence, and so high that current delivery is just not an issue, and extraordinarily easy for your amp to deal with. Therefore the cable requirements are q... | |
| electrostatic with detail? I don't disagree with much that has been said, and particularly agree with Johnsonwu. In particular, MLs are very fussy as regards setup. Poorly setup they usually sound indistinct from the mids on up. They MUST be firmly spiked to the floor. You ... | |
| Can I convert my 4ohm speaker to 8ohms? Keis is right - universal truths are rare in this field. Try them together and see what it sounds like. I run my 4 ohm speakers from the 8 ohm tap of my tube amps and the result is better than any other amp I have tried. And what is really importa... | |
| meridian power cord upgrade I have a friend that owns a local wire plant. As a result I can get just about any cable configuration made up for me (as long as I don't do it too often). But I enlisted him in an experiment to find an ideal power cable. We tried a lot of things ... | |
| The fallacy of ac treatment I think I see your point Gmkowal, that theory can help us in focussing on a remedy for the most appropriate source of a problem. But I have not come across any universal theory that works repeatedly in distinguishing between the many options we au... | |
| The fallacy of ac treatment Gmkowal - let us hope audio is an emotional issue for all of us. You may be right that we should not fix AC noise problems with better power cords, but only buy equipment that deals with these problems (more effectively) internally. But if having ... | |
| Burn-in time Vs. Getting used to a sound Brutus, I just saw your post saying you tried a few specialist power cords and heard no difference - so I take back my earlier statement. I am still interested in your system contect, however. | |
| meridian power cord upgrade Brutus, could you please describe your system, setup and reference music? | |
| Burn-in time Vs. Getting used to a sound Every time I have bought a new component there have been significant changes in the sound over a period of weeks, and the sequence of how the sound changes is usually the same. I find this to be completely unexplained by Brutus' view that there is... | |
| meridian power cord upgrade Lak - I too hear important differences with power cords, but accept that others might not - I am open to the possibility that Brutus may be speaking from experience, in which case I would be further interested in his or her system context. But you... | |
| meridian power cord upgrade Brutus - do you have that opinion because you have tried it and didn't hear any difference? | |
| granite base for speakers I have tried both granite and concrete under speakers and did not like them - I surmise they stored energy and fed back into the speakers - I could hear the effect of the ping that both these materials have. I wonder whether you might get a better... | |
| 1 million dollar speaker made by Kharma Albertasteve - I bet this joke is a real old one since I imagine they take a while to get from the US to NZ, but here goes. Bill dies, and for his sins gets to go to hell - but wait its full. But because Bill is so deserving, the devil decides to ... | |
| Best Gunshots Sorry, I was being a bitch, and obviously too subtle with it. | |
| 1 million dollar speaker made by Kharma Nice to have a grown-up present for a change - but first, this is about opinions - preferably about audio, not fellow posters (but I will have my turn as you will see). I, for one, cannot take a million dollar pair of speakers seriously. If you ca... |
