| Let's forget about being politically correct Yes, wanting to see the sounds as things to watch. In turn, this orientation is reflective of a desire to objectify sound. However, since sound is not a thing, much less musicality (which is an event between mind and musical creation), treating it... | |
| Let's forget about being politically correct TOK, there is a continuum of this "lack" in the Nordost iterations from SPM onwards, and particularly with the IC's versus the spkr cables. Yes, it feels like "something" is being "filtered," as in removed, or ommitted. Valhalla is better with air... | |
| Let's forget about being politically correct Sean, yes, I use Nordost as an analogy and example often because people know it and it was one of the first IC's to create an interesting dilemna. I was a reviewer at the time so had all the Nordost I wanted (Reynolds at Nordost is a very nice guy... | |
| Let's forget about being politically correct TOK: yes, tubes can be a hassle, especially on amps. I had an early Jadis that required 8 matched outputs, 4 matched drivers and 2 matched inputs that drove me up the wall. Actually, I don't think I could live witha big multi-tube amp again. That ... | |
| Let's forget about being politically correct Shubert: I'm not sure if you heard, but today it was announced that, perhaps, a Russian mathematician had proved Poincare's Theorem. To do this he employed a mathematical device to "round" geometric space. In other words, in order to prove the pos... | |
| Let's forget about being politically correct Shubert, you are swinging to the other end, without need I don't think; I didn't say that science had no value, much less no meaning; in fact, I believe I said the opposite (please see above again).On the assumption that you are playing a devil's ... | |
| Let's forget about being politically correct Unsound, yes, actually we agree on this - I have always known this. But also, I always liked your scappy spirit. As I said, it was fun too.Many of our ideas, however - that we get from the societal matrix of assumptions, in our time it happens to ... | |
| Let's forget about being politically correct Thanks, Bob, that was nice of you to say.Yes, Sean, not far away at all. Wish I could take you up on that cocktail.Yes, phase corrrect, but what is drawn to paper - cognitive analyzation - can not encompass the experience of dimension. There is no... | |
| Let's forget about being politically correct Thank you for your response Sean. Yes, I know you are a music lover; this is not totally academic, but somewhat, in that greater sense. Interestingly, although you say that you had a hard time with my words, your recognition that tube components c... | |
| Music Reference RM200 or David Berning ZH270? Great score, slowhand! I would be very interested in you reactions to the Supra/Berning combo. Let us know, please. | |
| Let's forget about being politically correct My mistake, Albert: insert "TOK2000" for "twl". I thought that sounded awfully odd for twl, and besides when did he go all SS with his Loewthers?! Oh well, thanks for keeping up on things, though, Albert, back there and I didn't know it...Sean, I ... | |
| Let's forget about being politically correct Silence can be heard, intuitively, existentially - and that is what tube pre's excell at as opposed to SS pre's. Yes, get an old tube amp with old tubes, or not synergized, or put with a person who defines the existential nature of space (read: ai... | |
| Music Reference RM200 or David Berning ZH270? Slowhand, yea, wait for a good buyer - most berning owners are, but there are also some "proto-types" out there that guys seek to sell as better than the current version (and maybe but how do you know and resale is a killer...). People don't sell ... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Great Jazzdude! Yes, I would say that the Supra's err just a smidgen towards "clearness" as opposed to sterilty; because they are not hyper-detailed, are liquid and not upfront I don't think they could be characterized as analytic in any way. I lo... | |
| My Cary 2A3 dilemma 2 Bennett, you are giving up too quick. The cantons are horribly mismatched to the Cary. Besides, the cary deserves better speakers. Rather than dumping the Cary, consider taking the $ and getting some Coincident speakers.Regardless, good luck. |
