| Does Time alignment and Phase coherency make for a better loudspeaker? I'm sure I'm biased because I have Thiel CS 3.5's, but, even though they are voiced differently, I find that Thiels and Vandersteens (and Maggies) just sound right compared to so many otherwise good speakers. I'm not sure, but I believe the phase ... | |
| Top 3 songs to evaluate a system Dimming of the Day, Richard and Linda ThompsonLooking for an Echo, The Persuasions400 years, Bob Marley and the WailersIf something sounds great on these 3, they'll sound great for everything. | |
| Hearing aids for audiophiles. Oticon, behind the ear. Best "upgrade" to my system and life. I don't understand why people try to fix their hearing by messing with their system, proper hearing aids are WAY better! | |
| Old Amps that can still Kick Butt I've had my ARC Classic 60 driving my Thiel CS 3.5's for over 30 years. Superb match and I've never been tempted to change. It's fed with an ARC SP 9 mk III. Never had upgrade-itis other than one change in cables. So happy my dealer helped with th... | |

| Uneven soundstage help, please. Get hearing aids if you need them!!! It's really much smarter than trying to tune your system to accommodate your specific hearing requirements. I don't understand why people are so reluctant to do the one thing that will solve the problem most el... | |
| I love sad music Almost anything by Richard Thompson, but check out Waltzing's for Dreamers, Aly Bain's fiddle will break your heart. | |
| Power strips- too many choices I'm very satisfied with a PS Audio power strip (Dectet?). Quiet, good surge protection and PS Audio will give you full price towards it if you upgrade in the future. Others are correct about surge protection. Most stuff gets fried by the surge whe... | |
| Easily the best and most significant sonic tweak one could ever make! Oticon user for several years. Definitely provides a huge improvement to music enjoyment and life in general. Don't put it off and the concerns about will a hearing aid not provide good sound quality are baseless, at least with my setup. You reall... | |
| Your favorite male soul voices Jerry Lawson, lead singer for the Persuasions! | |
| Wow an old album that rocked your world Starless and Bible Black by King Crimson. In an entirely different vein, Rock Steady with Flo and Eddie! Fabulous vocals and reggae. | |
| What unknown musical artist would you like to share with your fellow audiophiles? Richard Thompson- easily one of the best 5 guitarists alive and a great songwriter everybody good covers him!Jerry Lawson and the Persuasions- one of the great voices of our lifetime.Iris Dement- the real deal in country, think of Tammy or Loretta... | |
| I like my system flat, no tone controls, no eq..........what is your preference, and why. With an Audio Research SP9 Mk III and Classic 60 driving Thiel CS 3.5's, I have no tone controls available, but why would anyone want them???? I also find that all car stereos I've encountered sound best "flat".....Call me crazy, but that's how I ... |
