| Some famous reviewers have atrocious listening rooms! The way I see it is these reviewers with a large audience, many of whom will use the reviews to make a purchasing decision (hopefully along with more research) owe it to their readers to show them what their work space actually looks like. Grante... | |
| Your thoughts on selling I’ve yet to cull my collection. Not sure of the numbers, but I’ve got 24 IKEA Lack slots filled with audiophile, imports and WLPs, 30 IKEA Lack of domestic vinyl and 20 1x1.5 feet small boxes filled with vinyl. How many thousands that ends up be... | |
| Monstrous power cables The model is 1000 from Sunny Cable Technologies and retails for $2700. I was going to tear it down to see what was underneath but I think I’ll stop and retake the damn thing. Crazy price! | |
| The Best Speakers in the World! The 601 Series II are not like the 901s. Rather than nine drivers, the 601S2 has two 8" woofers (one on the front of the enclosure and one atop angled forward) along with four tweeters surrounding the upper 8" driver pointed in various directions... | |
| The Best Speakers in the World! Thanks, all. I’m going to take the woofers out to see how they’re wired. I’ve only seen the MBL stuff in magazines. If I recall the pricing, they are far too expensive for my budget. Bet they sound pretty amazing! | |
| Monstrous power cables I attempted to put some photos in virtual system. BTW, it is Teflon tape. The bulk is what I don’t like. It’s out of the lineup and has been replaced by a generic cable costing much, much less. | |
| Monstrous power cables OMG! So I finally decided to take the tape off of the monstrous cable to see if I could find the maker. In so doing, I discovered that this cable, which is about the thickness of the center of a toilet paper roll, is wrapped in the following: ... | |
| Where do you buy your vinyl? When you talk about “great” vs “ok” recordings, are you referring to the same title released at different times by different labels? For instance, the original release vs one’s done later by Classic Records, etc? Or are you talking the same musi... | |
| Old CDs and records OP, I think your newfound pleasure in vinyl will quickly disappear and you’ll be contemplating getting rid of your physical media again, along with the newly purchased table. Streaming is just so darn convenient! | |
| Vandersteen Forum My first Vandys were the 2CE Sigs. I don’t know how old they were but I found the sound absolutely gorgeous. They were the “comfort food” of the speaker world to me. I totally get when the manufacture’s sound isn’t to one’s liking, but the way ... | |
| How important is spending time with your gear? I'd love it if I could rid the room of everything except the speakers (and room treatment, of course). | |
| Monstrous power cables Thanks for all your suggestions. I do appreciate them all. Normally (like 95% of the time), when I compare a new component I’ll put it into my system for an extended period of time. The only times it’ll come out quickly is if it bothers me and ... | |
| Monstrous power cables Question: How many of you have done a blind test to remove confirmation bias in reference to power cables? The reason I ask is I was comparing DAC/streamers the other day. In the past, I’d listen to one then swap out to listen to the other. Do... | |
| Speaker/equipment placement I’ve seen many photos of reviewers’ rooms over the years that make me question how accurate their reviews are. | |
| Thiel 2.3 Thanks. I’ll check out the thread. |
