| Example of a piece o’ crap, useless review @soix "marketing tool invented by Ivor Tiefenbrun" That explains it. Thank you! | |
| Example of a piece o’ crap, useless review @dogberry "Every specialist interest has its jargon" Very true. The audiophile descriptions of many things sound a bit creepy to me. Not sure how a speaker can sound syrupy but I did see that as a description... I don't get too involved with... | |
| Example of a piece o’ crap, useless review The reviewer wrote " it’s strength is Pace, Rhythm, and Timing." How can a machine that is supposed to spin the recording at a constant, specific speed provide that? Is that not the responsibility of the musicians? Pace: This refers to the temp... | |
| Recalibration 68pete Thanks for your response. I'm trying to understand what is done to the cables to "recalibrate" them. I haven't seen calibration mentioned by other cable manufacturers, perhaps I just missed it. Have a great day! | |

| Is it important to long demo or own HIGH END gear to have a fair accurate view about it? The only time I have heard High end gear was a visit to AXPONA. In a very large room on the ground floor. Setup of MBL speakers and associated components including mono block amplifiers the size of a small deep freezers. Can't remember all of the ... | |
| Any other Pipe And Slippers Audiophiles out there? A pipe, smoking jacket and slippers... I used to smoke a pipe. Gave it up when I was 7. Never had the jacket but I do have slippers. Used to drink Scotch but received a very "peaty" tasting bottle as a gift that put me off scotch permanently. M... | |
| As An Experiment I Stuck A Few Things Under My Pre-Amp And Am Now On A Quest @ghdprentice You do have some beautiful speakers! I wouldn't do anything that might possibly do any damage. Nice room you have too! | |
| As An Experiment I Stuck A Few Things Under My Pre-Amp And Am Now On A Quest @ghdprentice " Although I will not be taping anything to my speakers." I should have clarified that by writing that my Focal speakers have a glass top so no worries about the finish although I'm careful not to scratch it. | |
| As An Experiment I Stuck A Few Things Under My Pre-Amp And Am Now On A Quest I use a laser pointer to check for vibration and aiming my speakers. Tape a pointer on a component and aim across room to see if indeed there is any vibration present. The further you aim the beam the more it magnifies any vibration. With speakers... | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system I have been enjoying my SAE 2700B EQ for years. Why not use EQ? | |
| Audio stand needed....Moving main components from mechanical room to listening room The OP might want to consider having a local cabinet maker build what he would need. I had a local guy that builds and installs high end cabinets do a pair for me. One, a riser, to go on top of my Salamander synergy cabinet. The other for my guita... | |
| Garage into listening room? @mahler123 Thanks for your message. No need to apologize. A lot of crazy things going on out there for sure. Would be nice to meet with you. Will message you when we are planning our next trip. I don't usually need to bundle up much. It's only... | |
| Garage into listening room? @mahler123 Seems we share the same weather patterns. I'm in Michigan so we just wait for the weather to head east across the lake. The garage is a few feet from the house. A patio connects the house and garage together. Easy to keep the snow cle... | |
| Garage into listening room? I refurbished a small garage that was on our property. Seemed like a good size. 14X19X8 inside. Heated, airconditioned great year round. Constant temps and humidity keeps things comfy. Cheap to heat and cool too. No issues with waf. No issues wit... |
