forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/tweeters-are-above-ear-level-what-now.732204/Do these guys not understand that things like "ear level" are not perfect measurements? That the people that design speakers understand they'll be going in a house, and that they need to work well under most conditions, and most conditions aren't optimal? Why would you purposely make yourself miserable? A podium for your chair? I can see why our host wants to do "consulting." These guys will spend any money and do anything to keep themselves from enjoying their music.

Bunch of fucking idiots. There is scope to sell special audiophile versions of these so called "elephant feet" to SHites for ridiculous prices. Did you see this retarded thread: When should I go to bed?Morons.

When should I go to bed? Next it will be, "Am I hungry?"
Those Elephant feet just need to have a Shakti Stone put inside them, and I think $500 per foot is more than reasonable. If we could just think of a way to put spikes on them, too.

I'm just waiting for the "Do I need the toilet?" thread or "is it ok to shit in my pants and still go into a record shop?"

But doesn't he know that any shortcomings he is hearing in regards to his tweeters can be solved? There are 1.5 meter interconnects made of special solid core innards and insulation that eliminates skin effect. THEN, you can sign up for a special break in service that makes the cable sound it's best right out of the box! All of this for the entry level price of $1200. If you want the Cryo treatment - add another $300.

1500 bucks for interconnects? Enjoy your crappy unresolving mid-fi, pal.

I was at a place that had a device that would age your interconnects and cables. Hook them up and let him run it on his machine for a week, and it equaled something like 40 years of "break in." I think it only cost $300 a cable for this service.

And...I have seen our SHiTE friends refer to interconnects in this price range as "entry level" or as Daddy Hoofy himself says, "For not a lot of money." Of course, hoofy usually follows that comment by admonishing his flock to mosey on over to Audiogon, where these magic cables can be had for lower than retail prices.

And that would certainly avoid the trials and tribulations our Shiteville forum buds describe when "breaking or running in cables:" Sound great out of the box Then...around 50 hours, bright and thin Then, your body goes numb and your anus seeps a sap-like substance 4 Horseman of the apocalypse pay a visit But then! At around 490 hours, the bass tightens up, the midrange is magic and my toes are a tappin! This cable sounds great!

I'm on a budget and can't afford those rubber feet protectors, or whatever they are called. $1500 is a bit steep for me. I wonder if I could jerryrig something from these? Only $2.99. They look less retarded too.

They look less retarded too. The only way those are going to help is if your tweeters fail the laser pen test by 1/4" or so. This guy's tweeters could be 1/2" or ore above his ears, which must be completely impossible to listen to. You may think 2.99 is all you can afford, but if you get your priorities right, you'll see that 1500 bucks is very reasonable when you're talking about getting rid of midrange suckout or IGD. When you finally hear music right, you'll wonder why you didn't kill yourself every day before you trained yourself to hear suckout, IGD and actually feel bass slam (which should start in the tail bone and move TO the scrotum, not the other way around).

So "midrange suckout" is something different from the "midrange suckfest" that characterizes a STeVE remasturbation? There have been some lonely nights where I put on a Steely Dan SACD, open a bottle of wine, and call a girl from backpage to give me a good midrange suckout. After we're done, I make sure to give her a lesson on the difference between a solid remaster and a shitty brickwalled disc. They seem confused at first, but eventually shrug and say "it's your time, however you wanna use it."
