| Missing the Old Days the OP hit the nail with the title of this thread- that’s saying a mouthful....the latest saying on the street is "old school is the only school"...I’ll take it a step further. it’s not only about big powerful speakers that were affordable. the wh... | |
| Paypal issue beware. I've had an issue like this when college kid was ordering stuff using the school email/username and ISP, and paying for it with bad checks. it was an Ebay transaction. I didn't know it at first, had the antique radio packed up, emailed him to ve... | |
| Speakers "Disappearing" all excellent responses and information- YES- the real soundstage while recording or live is much larger than our living rooms, that's why moving speakers APART further, dramatically increases the effect. my speakers are 28' apart and if I could ... | |
| Inexpensive Tube Amps if they're made in China, I'd steer clear of them, cuz the transformers will probably give up in short order. my friend bought one of those and listened to it for a little while, then sold it. his was a push-pull design and it sounded ok but some... | |
| Speakers "Disappearing" I've found that any and all speakers will image, and create a soundstage, from the most expensive high end you can afford, to the cheapest junk taken out of an old 1950's radio. what will be lacking is the frequency range response, the better sp... | |
| Speakers "Disappearing" my speakers don't physically disappear, they are up too high on a shelf, and are too big and heavy. today's thieves prefer light, modern, high tech stuff to steal, preferably the otherwise worthless, useless stuff made in China. hahaha. having ... | |
| Speakers "Disappearing" If I am aware of music coming out of a box, I feel like I have a system that is a failure. Ironic that Michael Green posted. I purchased a pair of his rev60(?) speakers years ago. I thought it crazy in the manual he suggested bringing the speakers... | |
| Speakers "Disappearing" spread the speakers apart, you get a bigger soundstage between. I did that experiment outside with more power and big speakers, on a 1/2 acre lawn. the soundstage is precise and holographic between the speakers, and not as effective to the si... | |
| Speakers "Disappearing" I listened to speakers blasting 100 watts per channel, with a thin soundstage for 25 years. Then I stumbled onto a low cost single ended pentode stereo amp, vintage 1960’s, and viola- a soundstage appeared, with incredible detail and depth- using ... | |
| What drugs do you use to enhance your listening experience? dude, put down the hash pipe....and just listen to the music. you'll hear better and more of what's there without being stoned. drugs are for losers. even prescription drugs are bad, they are even worse than street drugs in some ways. so what... | |
| Enough SET Power for Rock and Roll ps- let me add, if you can see both your speakers in a picture of video view, they are too close together. the speakers have to be at least 20-25 feet apart to get the soundstage to emerge- the farther apart they are, the BIGGER THE SOUNDSTAGE. th... | |
| Enough SET Power for Rock and Roll this is an old thread but worth reviving- if you get an SET amp, and your speakers are truly that efficient, you won't need no damned 100 decibels to hear and enjoy the music. you'll find yourself turning it down to 50-60 decibels and about 2-3 w... |
