| Townshend Audio F1 Fractal Speaker Cables An electrostatic speaker produces NO back EMF! Another reason why they have a better perceived clarity compared to dynamic speakers! | |
| Townshend Audio F1 Fractal Speaker Cables There is a back wave/current - but it is NOT caused by impedance mismatch! A dynamic speaker is like a microphone in reverse. The voice coil moves in a magnet gap, producing voltage/current. This current (back EMF) then travels back down the speak... | |
| Townshend Audio F1 Fractal Speaker Cables "The mismatch in other cables results in ringing ... encounters a radically different impedance, this creates a back wave going back to the source." Wrong! | |
| Sound quality of Newer versus Older speakers The Quad 57 (designed in '55) is still the benchmark for "natural" sound! Every audiophile should own a pair or two. I have two pairs for stacking! | |
| Cardas Clear breakin. How many hours needed? No wonder why people think that audiophiles are insane! Copper sounds different than silver? LOL! | |
| Cardas Clear breakin. How many hours needed? mastering92 is the only sane poster on this thread! All the others are fair game for the men in white uniforms! I hear the sirens in the distance! | |
| If you have a Steelhead- The nice thing about tube gear is just by changing tubes one can realize a sonic improvement! This is not possible with SS gear. | |
| Any thoughts on using the supplied power cord for a PS Audio PWT vs. seeking an upgrade I did buy a $90 Pangea power cord to use on my BEL 1001 amp. It was lacking one. As the French chef said " No diffawrance!" So maybe I need a power cord designed by that genius Ted Denney of SR, eh? | |
| Any thoughts on using the supplied power cord for a PS Audio PWT vs. seeking an upgrade I called out Michael Fremer on YouTube for touting a $6000 AQ power cord in his column in Stereophile. Claimed to bring him closer to Audio Nirvana than ever before! When will this cr*p ever stop? | |
| Any thoughts on using the supplied power cord for a PS Audio PWT vs. seeking an upgrade The sound of an electronic component starts with the voltage and current from the power supply. NOT from the wire to the AC outlet! To believe otherwise is to think.that using a custom hose to fill your car's gas tank will improve its mileage and ... | |
| Speaker styles / sound A pair of Ohm Walsh coherent wave speakers will kill those Devore's and Monitor's! 3-D imaging from anywhere in the room! | |
| Power Cable for Line Magnetic LM518 IA -- 22 Watt SET The belief that power cords/outlets/dedicated ac lines offer "better" SQ is like using a custom hose to add gas to your car in the hope that its mileage and 0-to-60 time will improve! | |
| Best used TT for under $1k? I have a Pioneer PLX1000 with a Denon 103R mc cartridge. $699 and free shipping from various online sellers. Herb Reichert gave it a good review several years ago in Stereophile. | |
| Akai GX-225D I just checked eBay. 29 listings - all parts and a few service manuals! Enough parts to build your own GX-225D! Seriously, I'd pay about $300 for one in good working condition. | |
| Equalization for vinyl nirvana Analog or Digital? Doesn't matter! |
