Schumann Resonator

Interesting, English is also my second language. I have absolutely no problem understanding the meaning and intention of what mahgister writes; something that I cannot say about the writings of many who post on this forum and for whom English is the first. Moreover, if one considers what he writes about music it is clear that he is an extremely astute and insightful listener and, more importantly, music lover; if passionately exuberant. The link between language and musical skills is well documented. Others may disagree, but for me those are reasons enough to not be too quick to dismiss what he has to say about most things music and audio.

I know perfectly well how to read  the English of very good writer, and consequently know that mine is very bad and approximative at best...

But i hope understandable...

I am very humbled and deeply pleased by your appreciation tough...

My deepest regards.....

However Mahgister is right in saying that you can make improvements and not hear anything because you have not lowered the noise floor enough.

Start with the room and speaker interactions such as speakers matching the room and position within the room. Controlling room response with treatments (or in my case just normal furnishings and Lyngdorf room perfect). Then get the power supply and earthing of the system right.

Once you have these then you can start to hear improvements from resonance and vibrations of your system. I suspect the s.gs start to become "audible" at this point too and this is also where good cabelling and fuses (not necessarily expensive) starts to make more audible differences.

I think this is pretty much in line with Mahgister’s embeddings experiences.

Thanks for your golden post...

I like to be understood....

The art of the audiophile is putting a system together that is cohesive and I for one would love to hear Mahgister’s system I’m sure it does sound very good.

Right....

i will add something rarely understood...

When we tune our SMALL room using our own ears, we tune it and we install materials, absorbent, reflective, diffusive, for our OWN specific ears to a specific speakers...The same is true when i add Helmholtz tubes and pipes grid...

It is not absolute perfect sound for ALL ears but for ours....

The structure and hearing capacity of all listeners are completely different in the fine tuning of acoustic...

Then no system is perfect save for his owner...The only exception is large room entirely created with the most refined acoustic science and at very high price with great results for sure....Mike Lavigne ideal room for example...His room is better than mine and no proof is necessary...But the fact that i can live happily with mine speak volume about acoustic powerful impact unbeknownst to most  who invest in gear upgrading because it is more EASY than install room controls...

Anyway the goal and truth did not change: controls of the working three dimensions of any system are more important than the system itself...

It is the reason why i smile to ANY superior system compared to mine.... The gulf between the 2 are no more an ocean.... 😊

When piano is in the room with a relatively natural timbre for your ears, is it wise to invest money you dont have for a "little" more? I can listen to a brass orchestra distinguishing clearly each timbre and they filled the room and are not between the 2 speakers at all...

I prefer then fine tuning my embeddings controls at peanuts costs...

My best to you....

I too can credit Mr Magister for turning me on to these guys. I bought 2 and must admit I didn’t expect much. Literature seems to emphasize the "calming" effect. I can attest to that. Improvements in SQ are very subtle and I would hate to predict anyone’s result. I can tell you that they definitely aid my sleep. 2 weeks now with one of them in my bedroom and I think it’ll stay.

I think you are short changing yourself.  Few can be very good writers, but the main point of writing is to communicate, in which you do exceptionally well.  Your English grammar is on par with the rest of us.  

I am deeply moved by your generous assessment but i cannot change  my knowledge....
