Now Keith Emerson is gone...
Probably my greatest rock hero and one of the most accomplished rock keyboard players the world has seen.RIP dude.  
What is best turntable for listening to Rock from the sixties like Led Zeppelin?
This is one of the biggest myths in audio- that certain types of equipment might favor a certain kind of music. The fact is the equipment does not care and does not exercise any taste at all. A good turntable will treat all kinds of music the same.  
Changed amps - center image moved
It is also possible that the amp itself could have one channel wired out of phase with the other. With balanced equipment this is very easy to do by mistake!I would reverse the speaker connections on one channel only just to see what happens. Does... 
Good Amp Match for Tannoy Kingdom Roysls
We have several customers who are very happy with our M-60 amplifiers driving that speaker.IMO/IME, that speaker has shown that it really benefits from tubes and is also an easy load for tube amplifiers! 
Do ClassDAudio Amps Have Proper Decay Of Notes?
Every component & every connection is important in audio if you want realistic playback. Trivializing the power amp-speaker connection will lead to only trouble for you. Neglect it at your peril.....+1!Low level detail (which includes decay)... 
Class "A" phono cartridge discussion.
I find that the ability of the arm to get the cartridge to track correctly trumps what cartridge you have- so much so that a very inexpensive cartridge will sound very much like a really pricey one **if** the arm is really able to track both of th... 
Neutral electronics are a farce...
A total of (0%) manipulation takes place in the amplifying process. By default it produces sound [objects] that appear to be in mid-air and are located (placed) back into their relative locations using the embedded information captured in the orig... 
Hum from Empire 698
The motor grommets often cause hum- but usually when the needle is on the LP surface (we have new grommets BTW). So if you lift the arm from the arm rest and then lower it in such a way that it does not touch the platter or the arm rest, does it s... 
Neutral electronics are a farce...
No answer to my question yet, I duly note.The industry does not pay attention to absolute phase. As a result, 50% of all recordings might be incorrect phase. The problem you have thought is that about 99.3% of all recordings employ more than two m... 
Neutral electronics are a farce...
Could this be a major reason why many listeners prefer analog to digital?**Such a Red Herring! We don't even know that such is even true... sheesh. Anyway, we let George hear the CD (so this was not an analog/digital thing at all) but he couldn't ... 
Neutral electronics are a farce...
Geoff, you got it wrong:If you go back and look, you will see where; I wrote: At that point, upon not really hearing a difference, George said that you could not hear it on analog recordings.So, I’m going with ’That would be pretty silly’, yes. 
Tube Amps vs Sanders ESL Amp for Electrostatics
A lot depends on the ESL! Sound Labs and older Quads like the ESL57 and ESL63 are good matches with tubes.Martin-Logans are designed (meaning they have a lower impedance but otherwise have an impedance curve typical of ESLs) to work with solid sta... 
Neutral electronics are a farce...
I should also point out that George’s criterion for determining which is better N or R for a given recording is that it’s one that sounds more like "live" music must be N. Roger’s criterion is the same, I.e., "live" music, for what his amp soun... 
Neutral electronics are a farce...
Atmasphere do you know if the MLP label recordings were "inverted"?I've never heard anything about that.   My understanding is they have the "holographic imaging" the best ones do because they were miked very simply for that (2 or 3 mikes for... 
Neutral electronics are a farce...
That's just a flip of a switch with our MP-1 or MP-3. Actually the number of inverted recordings is more like 50%.
