I offered up my humble Nad-Tronics 3020 ( $218 usd in 1982 ).... sending it to @mrdecibel who has speakers that can kill ya with 20 watts.... |
“ any major dude with half a heart “.... |
@mitch2 I think you had the duration right assuming it’s broke in before... my ARC preamp was squirrelly up to 300 hours...
I had a sub rant going on shootouts... sorry
|
The tour idea sounds like a hoot but my opinion of short term “ shootouts “ is pretty low, especially since to few here understand or conduct level matching
i about fell off my chair with the Hart, S and Marx.... my first real suit circa 1984.... vintage:-) it wouldn’t fit now |
@bryhifi good , Merchant was beat into me by the old man with his Bozaks... fortunately for me, they started me out on trombone ( cause the kid down the street washed out and rental was easy.,, ugh )
how about You pick the tune ? I do like tower of power |
I have an NAD 3020 we can use as a trial mule, can that count as my dollar? With any luck Millercarbon will paint it inside and out with perfect path contact goop |
But seriously for the curious, please do Visit 2L and the free downloads section in many formats and study the different sonic attributes from someone I consider a true master. The sonic space is astounding:-)
did I mention it’s free ? |
@bryhifi ya man !!!!! Can you rip off Carnival of Venice ????
i am so in, where do I send my dollar?
I better check peak SPL on that puppy

With the exception of spouses, you do criticize what you love in order to make it better - the first rule of Kaizen : nothing is perfect
I guess I am a time and phase point source fanboy, including that oddity the ESL63, so there are at least four speaker designers I trust |
Stereo5 you really missed the point, it’s not that kind of test bench, but if you took three minutes to go listen at 2L recordings the Nordic sound you would catch the drift.... |
@mahgister you missed the Fletcher Munson point, right past those ears is a brain, which likes loud. No level matching, no real comparison |
I am a Fluke and B&K fanboy oh and the almighty Tektronix and Gen Rad
but first, perhaps test hearing and critical listening skills, a great free place to do that is at the 2L testbench
free George free |
So few understand level matching or have the needed tools to do so cuts the reviewer pile by 99%
In God we trust, all others bring a calibrated SPL meter - Groucho Watt |
Eric there are preamps with meters..., |
There is a member review area already, 2k threads |
