Puma is actually a scientist. And quite a good one at that. I think you are under-estimating him.
Chris and I are friends but so are George Cardas and I. And since I own both I just go with what works best.
I have been friends with George for many years and a really good friend of mine has a senior role at Audioquest. I have always let these friends...
That's not Rick Rubin! It's Gandalf! :D
Also look for used Cardas Neutral and Golden Reference cables. They work well with Maggies. The Clear line is said to be even better but well...
:) George is the man. I use his planar speaker placement formula for my maggies and it works great. He has some IEMs in beta testing now....
Does he know Steve Guttenberg or George Cardas? :winkgrin: Namedropper. :laugh:
I defer to George Cardas who believes both make a difference.
George Cardas has some great speaker placement formulas on his website, one for box speakers and one for planars. I set up my Maggies exactly to...
I was able to get sound on 3.6s at my local dealer using my VT-100 and an LS-25. But you are right that more power would be ideal. I think 100...
Mike, you just need to know where to look. George Cardas posts scientific diagrams and Bill Low at Audioquest has written some good background.
:rolleyes: Yeah George Cardas is such a faker. You would not believe what it takes to get those instruments trained to create fake illusion of...
There's tons of technical evidence on George Cardas site. This is not even a disputed issue anymore. www.cardas.com
My friend George Cardas would agree with you. That's why his cables measure well in IC&R. I have found that cables that do well in these areas...
:D I did that at a New Year's party last night...I have been designing some neighbors systems just for fun and this guy will probably get me...
I couple of friends have asked me about speaker placement which I find is highly critical to getting the most out of your system. I've been using...
I speak every so often with George Cardas. His view is that essentially the audio phenomen I described above have to do in pure performance basis...
Brilliant Tony. One of your best posts in a sea of excellent posts. George Cardas believes this is tied to inductance, capacitance, and...
One person I trust in cables is George Cardas whom I have worked with in the studio. He believes in directionality. Ray Kimber is another friend...
There are some snake oil salesmen in the cable business but two good guys I respect and know are George Cardas and Bill Low of Audioquest. Here...
I'm all for low capacitance but in talking with George Cardas there seems to be a need for heavier guage wire for best possible bass reproduction....
I would recommend the following: 1. Look at George Cardas comments at www.cardas.com 2. Pick up Bob Harley's Guide to High End Audio book...
I highly recommend anything by Bob Harley, he is a great audio writer, a nice guy, and someone who cares about audiophiles at all income levels....
I have enjoyed this discussion...a few points may be in order I think Dave talked about this being a prime area of the hobby for fleecing. I...
