| I hope break in is true Scottht: I would beg to differ pertaining to your claims that these discs do nothing to the electronics. I've used the Ayre disc to "break in" CD / DVD players with no sound being reproduced through the rest of the system. The improvements in the ... | |
| DIY Interconnects review TA-DAAAAAAAH !!!! Persistence prevails!!!Hopefully, this thread will encourage others to experiment and share their results. Kudo's once again to JD and all of the effort he put into not only undertaking this project, but also the persistence in p... | |
| I hope break in is true Muralman: I hear ya and was waiting for someone to say something like that : )Honestly though, my Dad has never regretted the work that we did to his system, especially the speakers. He must not be that impressed with them as much as he was before... | |
| Soundlab M1 and Alpha-Core cables Sorry, i misunderstood the motives / point of your question RW. If you don't think that "skin effect" comes into play, try finding some cabling that is identical other than the conductor type i.e. solid vs stranded with the same gauge and geometry... | |
| Music out there with good bass If you like "metal" and seek "pounding double bass" kick drums, check out Master's "Faith is in Season". If you want to see just how much bottom end extension and output your speakers really have, check out Ayre Acoustics "irrational but efficacio... | |
| I hope break in is true Do yourselves a favour and pick up the Ayre Acoustics break in disc entitled "irrational but efficacious". Slip it into your player and hit "repeat" for as long as you can. Set your volume control as high as it can go without doing damage to the s... | |
| Soundlab M1 and Alpha-Core cables Rlwainwright: We've been down that road before several times here. Depending on the test methodology, results vary quite a bit in terms of "skin effect" / inductive reactance. When factored into actual use tests i.e. by combining the electrical ch... | |
| Ohm Speakers, thoughts? I have no doubt that the Walsh driver stomps all over Maggies, which are the best selling "audiophile approved" speaker in the world. As such, i'll use them as a point of reference. By re-designing the Walsh motor structure and suspension, thereby... | |
| Ohm Speakers, thoughts? Frap: I would tend to agree, but maybe from a different perspective. The Walsh makes music with both depth and ambience whereas other speakers may produce FAR greater "hi-fi resolution". As far as being immersed in sound, as one is at a concert or... | |
| Ohm Speakers, thoughts? Trelja: Now you know why i said what i did in a ( WAY ) earlier thread on Agon. That is, even though they most certainly have their flaws, i don't plan on giving up my F's anytime soon. I'm quite certain that mine don't perform to the level of Bil... | |
| Soundlab M1 and Alpha-Core cables Clio09: I have NO idea what Alpha-Core or their dealers are charging for their products nowadays. I haven't purchased any cabling in quite some time. Other than that, i don't know who "Dave" is, but if he's chosen to carry Goertz speaker cabling a... | |
| Soundlab M1 and Alpha-Core cables Unsound: If you look at how Alpha does their "purling", the conductors are "stacked together" and THEN twisted. As such, their impedance remains consistent and they are not configured as a standard "twisted pair" configuration. Maybe i misinterpre... | |
| Soundlab M1 and Alpha-Core cables Unsound: The Reference speaker cable is stacked ala Goertz and the Signature is placed side by side ala Nordost. I guess that David is trying to play both sides of the street simultaneously. The end result is that these two cables would measure an... | |
| Soundlab M1 and Alpha-Core cables Skin effect / impedance related high frequency losses definitely come into play in the audio region. This is well documented and has been known since the 70's. You can find independent measurements and test results all over the place if you look a... | |
| Soundlab M1 and Alpha-Core cables Duke: I'm surprised at your recommendation of AP speaker cables. We typically share similar results / observations ( as we both like Magnan's products ), but we are 180* out of step on this one. On top of that, low skin effect on any stranded cabl... |
