Wavefronts
Reflection Coherence Arrays
Reflections from the speaker return to the listener slightly delayed and out of sync. This collapses spatial information and masks detail with distortion.
Arrays act as an acoustic lens to restore timing coherence.
Instead of eliminating or scattering reflections, they treat reflected sound as useful material to be composed.
The effect is dramatically three-dimensional because the presentation becomes intelligible.
Images stabilize.
Depth expands naturally.
Micro detail becomes audible.
Instruments occupy believable space.
The speakers begin to disappear.
The sound is dramatically less obstructed and dramatically more coherent.
Timesink
Composed Energy Interface
The vinyl interface is one of the most crucial elements of playback but almost always an afterthought. A bad turntable mat is one of the surest ways to introduce interference and smear.
As the stylus tracks the groove, energy travels through the record into the platter, and is then reflected back to the stylus in a time-delayed form.
The Timesink interface is designed around a precise balance between absorption and reflection.
The mass of the steel absorbs and stabilizes energy, establishing an inertial foundation beneath the record.
The carbon fiber provides a controlled reflective element, preserving the energy, liveliness, and low-level nuance.
Too little absorption creates interference and shifts tonality, while too much kills the life of the presentation.
With the right interface, the sound doesn't become brighter or more analytical, it becomes more resolved and stable, while retaining nuance, and density.
