| Audio Show.... I agreed with @roberttcan ,My experience on Montreal Audio Fest was similar to yours in Toronto. A big part of exhibitors or don’t care or simply don’t have any idea about how good audio should sound themselves.But if you go to audio store there i... | |
| Abbey Road 50th Anniversary Why do you use 2009 version for reference?All these late remastering made from digital using digital equipment.I compare some new remasters to 1984 British "Blue Box"."Blue Box" sounds 1000 times better.I heard latest audiophile remasterings of L... | |
| Hook-up Wire: Duelund DCA16GA vs Neotech STDCT-16 vs Cardas 15.5 AWG I don't have experience with multistrand Neotech wire. | |
| Flea Watt Amp: What Speakers Are. You Using With Yours? Recommendations I think that " fairly narrow radiation pattern over much of the spectrum" is a good thing.Actually, if speakers have a narrow radiation pattern you listen what is actually recorded.If speakers have a wide radiation pattern you hear more acoustic... | |
| Hook-up Wire: Duelund DCA16GA vs Neotech STDCT-16 vs Cardas 15.5 AWG Neotech Wire 22awg LEGENBURG Rectangular is not bad wire at all! It has very lush, musical sound with very good midrange. I just say, Duelunc Cu-Sn is much better. | |
| Flea Watt Amp: What Speakers Are. You Using With Yours? Recommendations IMHO High sensitivity speakers are win-win!Less compression, liver sound, better textura, work good with SET and SIT and other high quality low power amplifiers.The only two drawbacks are difficulty to get deep bass and bigger size.Low sensitive s... | |
| I gre out of Be Tweeters The resonances of driver cone/dome itself can produce coloration.You can't correct it with crossover. | |
| I gre out of Be Tweeters I hate all modern hard and light material tweeters including beryllium, diamond, Spendor LPZ, Tannoy super-tweeters ...All of them sound not natural, scratchy, itchy, intrusively, whistling, tiresome. | |
| Flea Watt Amp: What Speakers Are. You Using With Yours? Recommendations I have 7 Watt 300B amp.I use it with vintage Altec 604"E" speakers.More than enough power for most types of music in 300 sq. feet room.This speakers can be easy driven directly by 1 Watt Chord Mojo DAC:https://youtu.be/-NH60kJlO4ghttps://youtu.be/... | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers Hi @prof ,Thank you for great review of Spendor D7.It is similar to what I heard from Spendor D9.I used Spendor 2/3 during 4 years and liked them.14 years ago I moved to vintage Altec 604E and I still have been using these speakers.I completely... | |
| Preamp Output Capacitor: Mundorf Supreme vs. Supreme Silver Oil Why do you need all these Mundorfs after using Miflex KPCU?What was wrong with Miflex KPCU? Did you try Jupiter Copper? | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers I’m sorry. It is just my opinion. I don’t like sound of beryllium and new Spendor tweeters. I also don’t like B&W Diamond tweeters.For me, these kind of tweeters sound artificial.But I’m not a typical audiophile. I like more vintage sound with... | |
| Recommendations for Vintage Speakers Here is good interview of Andrew Jones about it. It is no absolute accuracy:https://youtu.be/4t-wdP4gISI | |
| Recommendations for Vintage Speakers What does it mean accuracy?Accuracy compared to what? To dummy today Hi-Fi standards with emphasizing high frequencies, compressed bass, synthetic tone that is called "accurate".Altec with proper crossover sound much closer to live concert that mo... | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers Hi @prof ,Now I remembered, it was in 2017 show not in 2018. Here is Harbeth - Rega room video from this show:https://youtu.be/5Ul6eDFhn3wI’m sorry I didn’t do record of D9 on my camera. I term of realism this speakers where my favorite on this sh... |
