In fact you need a surprisingly big amount of absorbing surfaces as well as really huge (huge!) absorbing materials in certain areas (like corners). So there usually is nothing you can do just with...

The pictures put a smile on my face, because they remind me of "Midsomer Murders", a British TV series that is quite popular here in Germany. The cases usually take place in gardens like these,...

You drop the product and bring it back to the market with only a few cosmetic (cheap) changes but you double the selling-price.

Following the logic the consumer thinks it MUST be far more refined,...

Alan, you were quite right with your observations.

But the doubts {about upgrading} come easily. You do not need {to be provided with} a physical explanation either.

Just someone who praises a...

By this thread the HUG further relieved me from concerns about the usual audiophile-issues.

Never would have thought I might become so relaxed and confident with my stereo. I now see: it just...

I would argue that there is a big price gap between the models at the upper end. But is there really a big gap in terms of performance?

So maybe the performance of the SHL5 is that good that if...

I once contacted Planet Of Sound but it seems they stopped sending them to far off countries. That´s why I am still looking for a nice stand for my SHL5´s.
Come time, comes an answer. No need to...

This looks absolutely stunning. I love the looks of your interiour. You abvisouly are a design lover. Besides that: where did you get those Foundation stands? Seems you do not get them here in...

Here it says that channels 1 & 2 of the above mentioned TILT have XLR in- and outputs. As I understand that would make it possible to use that...

This seems to be exactly what we are talking about. It is studio gear and as I have no knowledge about that stuff I do not know if you can put it inbetween a pre...

@stevie:
I am pretty sure it´s because "the pure signal-path" is a mantra among audiophiles. Whether this has been started by the audiophiles themselves or it began as cost-cutting is probably...

Other idea about the cable material: What happens in speaker-cables is just the same as in every electric cable. If the material made a difference then there would be different sorts of electricity...

As we see this will be an ongoing war. However: before the HUG or Mr. Shaw completely loose believe in mankind let me tell you. All your work is not completely lost: My own doubts about cables and...

As far as I know the sales of German Hifi-magazines have dropped massively as well.

Funny enough: In the magazine "Hifi Stereophonie" which was popular in the 70s (and sold 140,000 a month afaik)...

Well, I lost my belief in cable-sound already years ago. (in my case a Quad ESL-restorer nearby convinced me)

So whenever I need some cables I told this seller what length I needed and that I...

@zim:
Well: you have some SHL5 stands to sell?? Which ones?

@zengzg:
You are free to make your own decision about the subject.

You can either believe some laymen that make a near-religious cult over an old speaker like the LS3/5a (I have one myself, good...

That will be a very hard test for the man asking the question in the first place:

Wanting advice about an exotic multi-thousand dollar device and getting the aswer that it does NOT work. Instead a...

As you consider using a very low powered amp for a Harbeth I suggest you read this:

I do understand that differently. It is NOT meant as an argument FOR the use of a low powered amp.

But it explains why people can possibly still enjoy using low powered amps although they...

Just a small post about the initial theme (the professional speaker connection):

I see no problem here that would justify the use of anything different than a normal speaker-port.

Are you...

@singslingr:
I think the Class A amp can be seen as an example here for a thing from the past that to audiophiles has a special appeal. The same with tubes, or as the opposite side: digital amps.

By M-Dac you mean the device from Audiolab? Do you use the digital volume of it? I am thinking about that machine but this still makes me stop buying it cause it is said that such a digital...
