| ESS speakers "Translinear" Transstatic Very entertaining comments Albert. Were you still at ESS when they went to the Heil AMT technology? I know a lot of people love to knock those speakers. My father has a pair(in my home no less), and it has always intrigued me to take them apart, m... | |
| Buying "Sound Unheard" I have always been one of the more fervant people about not buying what you haven't heard. I believe it is good advice. I should follow it. You never know how a component will sound in your system. Even the best can sound bad in your system. It al... | |
| Top Ten Interconnects of all time... I agree with Leafs about the Coincident. I absolutely love mine. The best copper cable I have come across. Would like to compare it to the Kimber Select copper IC. This Kimber is also suprisingly affordable. Just because a cable doesn't cost $2000... | |
| Attention Scientists, Engineers and Na-s If proposals for us to make something of ourselves are being sought, I would humbly suggest an experiment. We could all share in the listening. Doing this via listening to a product in our system. A matris test could be developed. We could choose ... | |
| Opinions on Homegrown Audio Silver Lace? My feelings on the cable parallel Sdcampbell. As usual. Right out of the box, the cable scared me in terms of its heft, bass, and dynamics. Break-in only made the cable better. Sweet, warm, and yet also detailed. This is the best interconnect I ha... | |
| Best Tweeter for DIY project I would say your initial results are encouraging. Especially, in light of how different a driver this is. Integration is more difficult than with a simple cone(especially) or dome tweeter. An L pad is a good start. But, once you nail the correct r... | |
| Attention Scientists, Engineers and Na-s This is quickly becoming a very entertaining thread. Jadem6 unfortunately, I have become one of those computer field people. After years of "working" for a living(under the pitiful salaries paid to researchers), I decided that I too wanted to do l... | |
| Attention Scientists, Engineers and Na-s As a scientist/materials science engineer, I can tell you that closemindedness is no more endemic in audio than anywhere else. The man who taught me more about research than anyone else showed me that THE most important thing to learn was to never... | |
| Best Integrated Amp Bigcigarman, I wholeheartedly agree with you regarding the VTL. I listened to it, and was not impressed. As you said, it just wasn't that good. I fail to see where all the hoopla comes from for this amp. Chip Stern's review in Stereophile was an a... | |
| Music for "Tough Times" I don't know if this falls under the "hair of the dog" category, but Bob Dylan is who I always turn to when I reach this level of down. Fortunately, it hasn't been more than a few times. I find belting out the tunes to be incredibly cathartic. The... | |
| Speaker wire is it science or psychology The article Tireguy pointed out from HiFi News... is the article I was referring to. | |
| Treating speaker cones One thing to consider is that when a driver is treated, most people only treat the front. Unless the driver is removed from the speaker(how many people do that?), the surround and cone will still dry out. As you have butyl rubber surrounds, and I ... | |
| Jolida202a vs. Creek 4330 Thank you for the update Keithcady. Please let us know how you like the Jolida. Good Luck! | |
| Speaker wire is it science or psychology I think you neglected to read my post, if you think there has been no evidence to prove to you that different cables sound different. If you do not take my word for it, I will provide you with the "scientific proof" you so desire. I have an articl... | |
| Speaker wire is it science or psychology Cables are in series with any two components they connect. Any component in series with the music affects the music. Whether we choose to accept it or not. Cables vary in resistance, impedence, capacitance, inductance, etc. Would you say I was cra... |
