| Tell me if i got it wrong.. Forget it, gentlemen, I'm out. Every so often I become overly optimistic and put my finger in the water to see if anything meaningful will come up and bite. If you want to understand what I'm saying, then order the articles I wrote for Ultimate Au... | |
| Tell me if i got it wrong.. Oh, you're no limo-waiter, Onhwy61. Thank you for you questions; they raise some very important issues. Admittedly, this is a very difficult area with a learning curve of trying to understand what each other is saying. I will try to do my best to ... | |
| Tell me if i got it wrong.. Subaruguru, thank you for your response. Yes, you are wrong: my position on a cognitive attachment to accuracy did not imply, per se, or any other way, an acceptance of "overly-rolled" components. Most people who are attached to accuracy respond t... | |
| Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit Slawney, Slawney, my little grasshopper, you have strayed from the fold, failing to perceive "vision" in default to you reptilian brain stem that wants excitement. Hi Slawney, how you doin'? Seriously though, and without commenting on the price di... | |
| Tell me if i got it wrong.. Accuracy and musicality are not mutually exclusive experiences, but over-accuracy - assuming we define it as added detail to the source sound projection - can diminish "musicality".This happens because the objective mind, the listening mind, has a... | |
| Tenor Audio - Anyone hear them? The Tenor amps may be the next best amp in the world - and in that regard they will have long, historic company. But, I don't care what Jtinn "is" to his personal audio-buddies; if he, or any other dealer, puts a rave or dump on a product, then he... | |
| Tale of the preamps Please, everyone, Siddh listens to classical on an analog system and loves his JP80. Don't tell him to listen to SS amps or throw some "transparent" silver IC in the mix; he's past that.Siddh, you need to seriously ask yourself why you want to cha... | |
| Depth of sound stage--I need help Your intuition is correct - there is no substitute for properly executed SE's in an appropriate system in terms of spatiality. What people tend to forget, however, is that space is not perceived simply in terms of proportion (width and depth), but... | |

| cable as tone control Please, please, don't sink $1.5K, or even consider it, on this system. If you must, go get an older Cardas Golden Cross IC ($250/1M pr. used approx.)(not Golden Ref) | |
| Nordost vs NBS Thanks, slawney. How you doin? Well, I think slawney doesn't need my help; he describes it perfectly. I especially like the breakin part. NBS Statement, upon first listen without proper settling or breakin, places diffuse halos around images, part... | |
| Recommend good satellite speakers? Get yourself a pair of Spendor/Rogers LS3/5A spkrs here used for about $600-$750, steal some Osiris stands here for about $200, mate them with a Musical Fidelity A1 25W Class integrated (if you can find one), a decent CD player, grab a used pair o... | |
| EL34 Tubes for Conrad-Johnson MV-55 On the EL34: Mullards, but you'll pay bucks for them, especially if you need a matched set.On 6SN7's: get a matched pair of NOS Sylvania or Ken-Rad JAN VT231's, military equivalents of 6SN7, circa 1945, about $90-110 on ebay. Black glass versions ... | |
| Cables with the best highs Given solid state system, I would:1. Cardas Golden Ref IC's all around.2. Sterling is good spkr cable for bass(great application for subs actually), but you should go with Purist Proteus Rev B for cable on all the runs. Go with above recommendatio... | |
| Cables with the best highs Given the "speed" of your speakers, your response to the Kimber on the upper octaves is not surprising (lack of air in harmonic core of note, energy loaded at the attack transient, etc.). Money doesn't seem to be an issue here, so with that in min... |
