| Wilson Audio Haters I also don’t like AMT tweeters - they compress way to easily.Bo1972, you seem to be fixated on 3D soundstage and their curious artifacts from the artificial stereo reproduction. I respect that many audiophiles are fixated on this but for me I am m... | |
| Wilson Audio Haters I am not at all a fan of Monitor Audio and especially the drivers they use. I have never liked metal or ceramic drivers period. I can hear the coloration these type of drivers add but I do respect that many people can not hear their ringing and in... | |
| Wilson Audio Haters Wilson deserve their excellent reputation a lot more than B&W. They tend to have a bit of a resonant bump in the bass (which people love) but apart from that I find it hard to fault them. Wilson tend to use traditional driver materials (pulp p... | |
| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? Geoff,The burden is on you to make a simple demonstration to show that vibration is a big issue. Cars and other mobile devices do not suffer electrical distortion due to vibration of electronics. You are talking about a fringe issue that is obviou... | |
| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? Well if you agree that tapping components is causing vibration in the components and if it makes absolutely no audible sound out the speakers at full volume then you have almost certainly proved that vibration is not a big deal.so it definitely pr... | |
| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? What a totally useless thread full of ad hominem attacks. If the OP actually cares anymore I will add that I concur with Mapman. Apart from turntables, tubes, and speakers, for the most part any mechanical vibration isolation is totally unnecessar... | |
| Filter tweak for digital backwash? @steakster Noise is a very interesting phenomenon. You can think of it like the canvas of a painting. Just like a different canvas texture or tint could change the visual perception of a painting so too can noise with music or sound. Vinyl may be ... | |
| Tom Petty Box Sets Thanks for info / a big TPHB fan here!!!! | |
| Heat/Efficency of Speakers @cleeds You are correct in your statements but you have twice misquoted me. You correct me but my statements more or less agree with yours just that I have stated things a little differently.if I say a speaker churns out between 99% and 90% as hea... | |
| Cd Ripping - is it better to use inbuilt CD drive of laptop or use an external Cd drive I use iTunes with error correction turned on both internal and external drives. I only had trouble with 1 or 2 out of a one hundred CD. | |
| ATC SCM 40 vs. ATC SCM 50 @digsmithd congrats on the 19's! Any pics? | |
| Synergistic Research Black fuese +1 maplegrovethere is no good technical explanation. If it works for you and you hear a difference after 150 hours then go for it and enjoy. | |
| Speakers for Bryston @wendymgraham Your setup sounds amazing - any pics?+1 on Bryston ++1 on PMC I am a fan of the PMC design - well built dome mids are sublime. Internally Damped driver cones (pulp/paper, doped fabric) are incredibly revealing and have a timbre that ... | |
| How do I power my 800D(3)s @bo1972 thanks for the link - very interesting - measurements look extremely good. I see that Monitor have a patent on a damping nylon ring that fits between the voice coil and driver. Similar purposes no doubt to accuton rubber dots on their driv... | |
| Heat/Efficency of Speakers @cleeds You might want to check your reading comprehension while I am checking my math! If 99% of energy is lost as heat as I stated then this makes a speaker very inefficient - a mere 1% being converted to acoustic energy - exactly what you conc... |
