| Transistor Preamp that sounds like a Tube Preamp? Answer ten years ago: No.Answer five years ago: No.Answer today: No. | |
| A 9 watts SET for the Maggies, Heavenly marriage Right now I'm driving Apogee Duettos, planars with a burnin' 2 ohm load, with a Sun Audio 2W SET - its heaven!! Bass that almost blows the walls off my 100' by 100' custom theater-sized room!Sorry, I just couldn't resist...:0) | |
| Shall I add a preamp to my setup? I know you don't want to hear this, but the harmonically "thin" thing is coming from the Thiels; crossover and tweeters; its a constant with Thiel. I know you are not going to move from them, but down the road, when you are still trying to balance... | |
| Raven v Walker. Colored v Accurate? Piedpiper, yes, intuition. But, it can be called more as one moves towards the "finish"...that doesn't mean, though, that Lao Tsu, or Jesus, wouldn't appreciate, or be fascinated by, or see value in, string theory.Looking at your post again, I thi... | |
| Raven v Walker. Colored v Accurate? I know, Phaser, out there, but, right, you did ask - although I like the Raven part of the thread just as much.Since I assume most people won't read this farther, someone up above said they have listened to a slew of phono cables. I know that ther... | |
| Raven v Walker. Colored v Accurate? Forgot, back on point: I enjoyed the Raven review too. Makes me want to get one. Not only because of my/our obsession (down obsession, down!), but because Valin, I think, in an attempt to describe what he experienced, was willing to broach the use... | |
| Raven v Walker. Colored v Accurate? Phaser's assumption: accuracy = reality.Remember, though, assumptions are the lens we all look through. If you assume before you start to look (or hear or taste, etc.)that "accuracy" will give you The Truth, then that is where you start from, and,... | |
| Graham Phantom vs Triplaner Thanks Atmasphere. Understood on the phono wire/arm compatibility. I see the Copperhead runs from pins to inputs too. One can talk all day about the sophistication of the Graham arm's integral connector, but I still stare at the thing.Someone abov... | |
| Graham Phantom vs Triplaner I guess I'll second the comment above, somewhere up there, about arm wire and IC's. If anyone has heard Bob G's take on silver (yes, a sweet guy...) then I venture that you knows a what I is a sayin'. (I have a 2.0 with Discovery copper wired insi... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Hi slowhandFeet? Shun Mook. Experiment w/ them, around, here and there. Don't ask me why.6 moons, sjaen (sp?) Good ears, a smattering too much Zen (capital "Z", is he listening?)Koetsu? Of course...Adcom to Supra. Good, hear that, but know that wh... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Hi slowhand. Lots of new people I don't recognize; the Supratek tide keeps rolling. Good for Mick. Carry on... | |
| Moscode 401HR's Sonic Character Good point, Newbee. Thanks. Is there a particular problem with them, outside of the usual considerations? Can't see that Kevin Deal would be interested in selling amps at that price point with interface/impedance problems (Sorry, Barrel, will get ... | |
| Moscode 401HR's Sonic Character Thank you, tvad, I understand (although I went to school in London and way back then found the folk plenty passionate...after knowing you for a while and a few pints :0)Thank you too, Warner.PrimaLuna and $2K saved and maybe ol Dad can't really te... | |
| Moscode 401HR's Sonic Character Tvad, point taken...although I don't think "quality" is that relativistic, it only appears as such if you've never seen "it." (BTW, I think you have...) Is it hard to describe? Sure, for everyone; that is the limitaion of language. But, less so fo... | |
| Moscode 401HR's Sonic Character Thanks. Ditto on the $teropile, although the list does have its uses.Yes, no SS-anything is an SE. I'm just asking about the overall musicality; as in, how involving. Dynamic contrasts are great, etc. but what about liquidity? Or, dimensionality? ... |
