| Audiophile Speakers for Rock, HipHop and Techno @gavman Alternatively how about 'Sensory' by Symbiosis? On the original vinyl, the speed was specified at 33 1/3 which was incorrect. But that is how I always played it... | |
| Your sub experience: Easy or hard? nice article and very correct. A sub not only has to match the mains in frequency response but also in time. This is the problem with DBA's. They do a great job of evening out the bass response throughout the room. But, they are not necessarily a... | |
| Balanced versus single ended But this is a condition that is vertically nonexistent in high end audio. The reality is that the quality of the interconnect usually trumps single ended versus balanced for the vast majority of actual systems. I have never heard a system whe... | |
| amp for ZU Audio Druid V speakers IME the speaker needs a bit of power; 60 Watts/channel is nice. But its very good for tube amps so you have a lot of options. | |
| Audiophile Speakers for Rock, HipHop and Techno It most certainly isn't a myth that many speakers, most even, don't provide sufficiently extended bass to do justice to electronica. That is true and those same speakers don't do justice to classical music either! Classical music can have some ... | |
| Audiophile Speakers for Rock, HipHop and Techno it is about which speakers (not design processes, not designs, but finished speakers) may make certain genres sound better or worse to listeners using them Such a speaker might make a certain recording sound better but its impossible for it to ... | |
| Does remote control degrade the sound of tube preamps? Does this mean that MP3 does not have motorized volume control? @chungjh It has a motorized control too. | |
| Your sub experience: Easy or hard? @kevn The DBA setup is more accurate. The single sub suffers a bit around the edges of the room where it gets too much reinforcement. Forward or downfiring has no effect (in practice) simply because in most rooms the bass is entirely reverberant b... | |
| Audiophile Speakers for Rock, HipHop and Techno imo to call it a myth is a little strong ... lots of people with nice hifi’s don’t sit there for hours listening intently, some want the excitement of live music, listen for a while, get their thrill, turn it off we need to be careful not to imp... | |
| Does remote control degrade the sound of tube preamps? Do you think the sound quality is degraded with a remote? I am talking about an audible effect. @chungjh @larryi got it right. It was for this very reason that we motorized our existing manual volume control in our MP-1. | |
| XLR Female to RCA Plug Adapter Running a truly balanced output is only beneficial if the receiving component has a truly balanced input circuit. @soix ^^ This. Don't bother with the XLR output since your preamp can't take advantage of it. The RCA connection will work just f... | |
| Cartridge Loading.....Part II That is not the case in this instance. This gives me confidence in my belief that the load on the cartridge is responsible for the sonic changes that I reported above. I don't doubt that it could be affected. Loading the cartridge causes th... | |
| Audiophile Speakers for Rock, HipHop and Techno some speakers do better with some musical genres than others because their strengths and weaknesses are more befitting and tolerated with certain kinds of music example: klipsches tektons zus - these are ’lively’ brash sounding speakers, excel ... | |
| Balanced versus single ended Interesting. Are you saying that both amplifiers and cables that are billed as balanced might not be to standard? Absolutely yes for real. I've been harping on this fact for years. I've not sorted out if high end audio manufacturers choose to ... | |
| How far is your SUT from your Phono Pre/Preamp? @dhcod I have real trouble believing that the Jensens are actually worse than your outboard SUT. But in order for them to work right, the Jensens must be loaded correctly at their output. I expect Lamm has a provision for that. The loading changes... |
