I have one word for you: analog. My turntable was out of the loop for a while, but I just put it back in, and it's amazing how quickly you can forget about what great sound analog rigs make, doesn't have to be fancy (mine: NAD 533 + AT cartridge and counterpoint tube amp/pre). Hello, bass, hello, presence, goodbye digits. Actually the most remarkable difference was in the bass. Just feels like the bass isn't coming from the speakers, but from the depths and the heavens. That's my 2 cents. Definitely wait until the Hales and the cables are broken in.
Sensitive ears to speakers. Help!!!
I have been going crazy trying to get a great sounding system. The problem that I have is that very detailed speakers make my ears go crazy. The more detail I get the happier I am turning the equipment off. Some people tell me that I am sensitive to metal dome tweeters. That I should go with other types of tweeters. Does anybody else experience this same feeling???
