| Preamps with balanced ins/outs and remote Look at PASS LABS XP-10, too. It has a remote and balanced and unbalanced outputs, both. | |
| How big is your matrix - how we bias or enjoyment. Ebm, I forgot, you're right...you can always just guess! | |
| Speaker Spikes - do the shake test If you think about what is going on, the effects of a neutral cabinet motion are critical to getting the best from your speakers.For example, look at a high-end scan speak tweeter, the one's I call the cone-heads. That big spike in the middle of t... | |
| DynAudio C4 _ Explodes my sonic perspective I love the C4's, but they do have limitations. I added subs, as I like a more powerful effortless low bass than they C4s do by themselves. True, everyone comments on the great bass they have. Yes, the key is what they "have". I miss that bottom oc... | |
| Speaker Spikes - do the shake test OK,I think we have TWO evolutionary paths, speakers placed on "soft" floors, and those placed on "hard" floors. A soft floor being a typical floor is a house supported with joists. A hard floor being (in my case) ten inches of concrete.I would cer... | |
| WOW, they are important, but in what order? No, all these cords can be confusing. No problem. Still, there are likely systems that do not have issues with AC line noise and won't benefit from power cords. I'd LOVE to "hear" someone's system that does benefit from a power cord change. Just h... | |
| How big is your matrix - how we bias or enjoyment. Mrtennis,Good question. Bias is the conclusion that information that you have gathered is still "true", and "fair" or the most accurate representation of a physical outcome.When we stop collecting additional data to support a "bias" we now have a ... | |
| How big is your matrix - how we bias or enjoyment. Frogman,??? Not so sure where you got all that. But if you like to form conclusions (...you have a problem with the notion that I feel confident about this specific aspect of audiophilia...) to make a point to someone...go ahead. I wasn't even tal... | |
| WOW, they are important, but in what order? Ketchup,They gave mustard, too. The XLR tyr2 is an interconnect cable, not a power cord. That's why I mentioned that it is an "XLR" balanced interconnect. | |
| Sealed, Ported, or Passive Radiators? No, the new 2.7 use passive radiators very nicely.Andrew, have you tried stacking subs? Sometimes this "blends" four subs into a room well. Also, some stack subs with a footer under them to get them away from the floor some (two subs have ample ex... | |
| WOW, they are important, but in what order? Still, I "read" the comments, but no compute in my system. Not so interconnects and speaker cables. Big changes there. And yes, I just dropped a big coin on NORDOST tyr2 XLR's pre to power amp (everything sees the benefit). Tonearm cords to head a... | |
| How big is your matrix - how we bias or enjoyment. Frogman,What my comments mean, is that when people use their "background" to justify your rightness is insecurity in itself. WHY pray tell is it necessary to paint your personal picture if you are confident in your perception(s)? It isn't. The onl... | |
| WOW, they are important, but in what order? JafantWell, I "hear" that response but it does not compute in my system. Interconnect and speaker cable sure do, though, as I hear those changes. Not so power cords.Here is my take on why. The manufacturer of components KNOWS what criminal intent ... | |
| How big is your matrix - how we bias or enjoyment. ...I spend several hours each day around the sound of acoustic instruments. I KNOW what they are supposed to sound like; I KNOW which cable, in my system, gets me closest to that sound. That knowledge is not simply preference or "like"; it is know... | |
| Speaker Spikes - do the shake test Cabinet resonances are logarithmic with volume. To say they make a difference down low is pointing out the diminishing effect of the cabinet. No one is challenging your superb hearing, but most will hear the difference only when their is enough en... |
