| Perfect Path Technologies: Omega E mat I haven’t tried them under my turntable or on my speakers. However, I did place one E-Mat on top of a pair of my monoblock amps and it did not sound good even after 3 days. It covered the electronic portion rather than the transformers and tube po... | |
| Is there actually a difference? No, no, no. Amps can be level matched and sound totally different. The amps have to match the requirements of the speaker. If the amps sound the same (possibly Harbeth), then the speaker is probably an easy load. My speakers sound vastly diffe... | |
| Is there actually a difference? As a former commercial property appraiser, I appraised 17 sound studios in Southern California. Many of the studios had high end playback gear. Same with my friend Robert Pincus, record producer, who visited various major label studios. They di... | |
| Listening Height Adjustment -- Is This Why Two People Don't Hear the Same? I agree that tall stats allow for a large range of listening height as I previously owned Acoustat 2&2s and Martin Logan Monolith IIIs. One loses some of the highs from my Legacy Focus when standing but the overall sound is less directional th... | |
| Listening Height Adjustment -- Is This Why Two People Don't Hear the Same? This is a major issue for me. I dislike speakers where the sound is not as pleasing to listeners who are not in the sweet spot. I've owned speakers which drop off sonically when standing (worst-Acoustat X, the coffin speaker). My current speake... | |
| Looking For 90% of the performane of the super expensive cables for much less money Yes, when I said 50% as good as the best I've heard, that's about twice as good or 100% better. As a teenager and in my 20's, I did not know how advanced my audio system could sound. Many people are just not aware of how great an audio system ca... | |
| Looking For 90% of the performane of the super expensive cables for much less money I strongly disagree concerning the few percentage points. My main system sounds 50% as good as a $1.4 million SOTA system. However, it is already as good as nearly all the systems I've heard in stores, friends homes and audio shows. Maybe 90% a... | |
| Looking For 90% of the performane of the super expensive cables for much less money boxer12 The SR Red has a warmer signature than the Black. It may even sound best with SS rather than tube equipment. They both sound good newly installed unlike the black fuse which is quite bad sounding in my two systems between the 10th and 7... | |
| Looking For 90% of the performane of the super expensive cables for much less money Elizabeth, I certainly agree the SR duplexes are just ordinary commercial grade stock that have had things done to them such as adding graphene or other substances to them and jolting them with 2 million volts. Those ordinary duplexes sound ordin... | |
| Looking For 90% of the performane of the super expensive cables for much less money "Faith based claims." You are a troll. We don’t use faith based claims, we use our hearing capacity which is more acute than measuring devices (they miss the differences when two identically measured amplifiers sound totally different and electric... | |
| Looking For 90% of the performane of the super expensive cables for much less money You tell him, Elizabeth! inna, try a Synergistic Research Black or Blue. The Red is very good at a discount price. There's a 30 day money back guarantee. The Black duplex sounded great within an hour of installation and got better over time. ... | |
| KEF Blade or Giya Kaya 90/G4? That’s where I read that the Giya G4 is just a smaller sounding version of the G1. Is the Kaya 90 better at lower cost? Do they have the same amp requirements? | |
| Perfect Path Technologies: Omega E mat @tochsii I have never stated or implied I heard a blacker background to music using tweaks. I am quite specific in the changes in the sound, such as greater transient speed and wider soundstage using Stillpoints, superior image focusing using Skak... | |
| KEF Blade or Giya Kaya 90/G4? Thanks for your experience. I really prefer speakers that don't crave amp power, that are relatively efficient even if they have lower impedance curves. That's why I don't care for B&W, Wilsons and Magicos among other reasons that they just ... | |
| Perfect Path Technologies: Omega E mat Someone's been telling falsehoods and got caught? Or defaming statements? Yes hifiman5, it's as if my custom movie settings have moved up to near vivid setting. I moved the brightness down 20%. My wife said to let it be slightly brighter than ... |
