aerius

Spent the last 5 hours chasing down a hum problem in my amp. Fixed it by putting shielded cables all over the place. Now it's quiet, and I can listen in peace.

The Tea Party, "Winter Solstice" - If the speaker or headphone has a midrange colouration, the acoustic guitars from this track will nail it Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, "Red Right Hand" - Bass groove, texture, and dynamics Sarah Slean, "Sweet Ones" - resolution test, along with midrange issues Tori Amos, "Mother" - Sibilance test, also resolution The Tea Party, "Sun Going Down" - Dynamics and freedom from congestion. Also soundstage depth. Blue Rodeo, "What is this love" - Cymbal decays, male & female vocals test Cowboy Junkies, "Trinity Sessions" album - resolution, low level details, soundstaging SRV & Albert King, "Pride & Joy" - Groove & soul test Cowboy Junkies, "He Will Call You Baby" - soul & emotion, does it make me feel? The Tea Party, "Psychopomp" - dense production test, sees if things turn to mush or stays clean

But the outriggers aren't black, whereas the stand on the Reference 3A is also black.

Just so that you know, the Reference 3A MM de Capo is totally black.

Wow, that's taking stupid to a new level. So with a 12AX7 on the input the stealth would have an output impedance of something like 40k or more, and with a 12AU7 it would be around 1/10th of that? I didn't think it was possible for a "designer" to be that incompetant.

Wow, you can use big words and sound all sophisticated, you must feel fucking special. It just makes you look like a fucking pretentious twat.

Thiel fanboy!!!!

1. 909 is a fucking semantics whore. 2. 909 needs to stop writing in fucking lawyer speak.

Wilson-Benesch Chimera, because someone needs to get one, and you can afford it.

I don't get it...there's no pink in the headphones...perhaps I'm being too literal...? anyways, nice job! I've always liked the looks & comfort of the stock W100 but I had issues with the sound, unfortunately.

Kinda like this...

It made some marginal improvements in imaging and midrange naturalness. Small enough that I probably wouldn't notice it if someone switched it back.

I was testing the how good the image stabilization feature is on my digital camera, that was a hand-held 1/2 second exposure in pretty bad light.

The 57 in ESL-57 refers to the year in which they were introduced...

Dude, the phrase "I buysed some new amps" and "I's been selling the drugs I has confiscated" are a clear tip-off that it's clearly not serious. That and saying it's a very serious thread. That was pure sarcasm. Maybe my deliberate spelling & grammar errors and all the rest weren't enough of a tip-off in print...

You should hear one of my local dealers rant about Nordost Vahalla, and what he did to the Nordost cable pusher who tried to get him to carry their cables.

Then he gets introduced to Quad ESL-57's...

I's been selling all the drugs I has confiscated from my work.

Forget what?

This one's pretty cool. Garrard 401 with a custom maple base and a cool funcky tonearm.

This is a serious thread to discuss ideas for my new speaker, I'm not going to go into any more off topic tangents on my love life.

I would, but I don't have an imaginary girlfriend.

So I buysed some new amps yesterday, and now I need some speakers to go with them. What do you guys suggest? This is a very serious thread.

Pretty much, you just kinda wake up one day and there it is.
