| biwire trick I would argue that this "trick" is definitely the wrong way to bi-wire speakersWrong? Different. | |
| biwire trick Yes, the MD description I used/quoted is not the same as what I'm describing (single cable + jumper arrangement), but it led me to think of what I've described here. I stand by my first statement -- I hear more air, more dimensionality, larger sta... | |
| biwire trick I love all you pessimistic audiophiles out there. For us, it's "prove it." The reason I tried it is as follows from the aforementioned description of the Nordost jumpers on MD:"Diagonal Bi-WireFor those looking for maximum performance from their b... | |
| Grilles or No Grilles Ah yes, one of my favorite standards from the 40's."Grille Of My Dreams".Audiofeil (Threads | Answers | This Thread)Damn, you're old. | |
| New Zu Mission cable Do any of you know why they discontinued all their old lines of cable? | |
| New Zu Mission cable Artmaltman, you've asked for comparisons a couple times now. At 65% off and a 60 day guarantee, why don't you just buy some? | |
| Cable Elevators killed my bass Not sure why my last response didn't post -- I heard small differences with the ESD's: more air, clarity and separation. For $40 shipped for b-stock and a 30 day money back, it's a no-brainer. | |
| Grilles or No Grilles Dealing with this issue now -- as I've come to accept that my speakers sound better with grills off, but look much better with them on. Argh... I just submitted a thread proposal on professional speaker re-grilling, as I would like to re-grill the... | |
| New Zu Mission cable So now you've got your choice of prices: 50% off new Event, 65% off new Mission, or 75% B-stock on either. JOhnnyb53 has a point, but this bizarre fluctuation in prices and sales over the last few months is confusing to say the least. I can see Je... | |
| New Zu Mission cable I don't get that. Why after launching a new brand a few months ago with great fanfare do they now have B-stock at 75% off? Also the Event line, which seems to have been launched guerilla-style and is better than Mission, also has B-stock at 75% of... | |
| suggestions on affordable equipment stands. @Jdoris - 4 legs would be more stable than 3, but I haven't had a problem with stability. I suspect going with 3 rods over 4 is the same '3 points make a plane' principle as using 3 footers under a component instead of 4; the least contact while s... | |
| suggestions on affordable equipment stands. Note that if you go a rod and shelf design, the three rod version linked above limits the depth of components, which might be an issue with some gear, like big power amps.This would be true if one of the rods was in back, which it isn't. All rods ... | |
| suggestions on affordable equipment stands. DiY baby! Costs less and you get that special pride when you're done... click here. This is a great rack, I made mine with Ash that still had the curves of the wood on the edges. Cost me around $200 in materials and a couple weekends of drilling a... | |
| Nordost Red Down or Zu Wax @Chrisr - Julian was the entry level product when it was sold. To compare Julian to "Nordost" is a little unfair. But even so, when you cut apart the cable and you saw nothing but wires, man, what a letdown! No doubt Nordost is nothing but truth i... | |
| Are audiophile speakers turn on for single women? i wonder if Manley gear impresses the girls?Mapman I wondered the same thing, but she just laughed at my 'Manley Shrimp'. |
