Here's more "info" from the same forum as the above quote. This is from the infamous Geoff Kait, of Machina Dynamica fame (pebbles). Peter Belt has a Wikipedia page. "It could very well be something as 'ordinary' as your audiophile visitor brings his watch and or cellphone with him into the...

Lowther Hegeman. Because this is Lowther I assume there is one single full-range driver doing all the work here. ;)

From Consonance (Opera Audio), fairly well known Chinese company, also market turntables, tonearms and electronics. I'd like to hear some JBL Everest/K2 speakers and their equivalents, like this, someday.

Amir responded in this thread. The thread was closed by their moderators today. :facepalm:

Here is Peter Qvortrup's, Audio Note owner, stance on measurements. Posted yesterday on another forum. Peter Qvortrup, Yesterday at 8:02 AM I am confused as to how he thinks the Upton Sinclair quote helps his stance?

I dunno, they look kinda deep in this photo from Stereophile. About twice as deep as Revel F208s, which would be ~ direct competition in driver array and price. (F208s now discontinued, however. We await the Performa 4 generation...) These do look interesting. Can't wait for Erin's measurements...

Kimber Cable had a static display room at a Los Angeles area audio show I attended >15 years ago. It was a large, lower floor conference room, not a small hotel room. Walls and tables were covered in elaborate displays to showcase their multitude of choices in every possible cable category. I...

The cycling industry is also rife with subjective BS. Nobody wins the Tour de France because their bicycle is 'better' than all others, despite the claims of marketing departments. Just like properly designed audio amplifiers, bicycles built to a purpose are more alike than different. An...

This 'deal' is available on another forum. Used at one-third MSRP. They'll ship at their expense. Since they're used they are probably already 'burned-in.' For $35K you get cables that look like the nylon webbing used on old-school folding lawn chairs. "Nordost Odin 1 Speaker Cables...

RIP Dickey. His 2001 album Let's Get Together is one of my under-appreciated favorites. This appropriately-titled tune shows why:

A question for the experts. Is silver wire/cabling used in any industrial/professional applications besides home audio? I was thinking, for instance, in applications where weight/mass or volume are important. Does silver make a lighter or thinner cable for the same conductivity? For example...
