What sounds more musical than audionote equipment
Hi Whart,This may again sound arrogant, but it is the truth. What i have described is a simple phenomena but one that appears to be hard to acquire. I do believe that you have not grasped the basics of what my definition is describing. Yes emotion... 
What sounds more musical than audionote equipment
Whart, please read the introductory question where i believe i have tried to clarify what it is i mean by musicality. I guess unless you fully appreciate where i am coming from it may not still make sense to some people.It is not easy, neither is ...

Mahandave,you are spot on in my opinion with the comments you have made. 
What sounds more musical than audionote equipment
Jaybo, you are right up to a point. I will probably now come across as arrogant with this post but it is the only way to make my point. There is absolutely no doubt that very few components give the musicality i have described in my opening statem...

Hi evita thanks for your reply. No i did appreciate that you liked AN gear. 
What sounds more musical than audionote equipment
Hi evita. Please remember that high sensitivity speakers do not need more than a handful of valve watts to get very loud indeed. Also we are not trying to recreate the actual db of a live performance but a representation of its liveness within the...

Thanks Jaybo, yes you are to a certain extent right about the musicians, but when a quality group of players get together the quality of the musicianship is even more apparent on the right system.As for Jadis, yes they do the musicality thing as g... 
Any thoughts on Music Reference RM200

Are Horn Speakers good or bad or simply a complete joke?

Upgrading AudioNote DAC2 older version Help
All I can say is that all the dacs that are non oversampling are by far the most superior sounding and musical dacs- even in a £200 Far Eastern DIY JOB. So in my mind it is the dac rather than any other component that is foremmost in importance. P... 
Upgrading AudioNote DAC2 older version Help
make sure first and foremost it is the non oversampling dac chip that is used, if not get audionote to do that for you first. Secondly upgrade to balanced with output transformer. Only then should you really consider fine tuning. 
C J Premiere 11A versus Music Reference RM200
I have the rm200, driving speakers as low as 2 ohms is no problem at all, it has 100w/channel and a tremendous dynamic headroom. Very musical indeed but not quite as harmonically fleshed out as the conrad johnson.With a warm sounding preamplifier ... 
PX25 SET amps-Art Audio, Audion, Wavelength???
Be very careful, not all well reviewed amplifiers, no matter at what price are necessarily that good. A lot of the members of the hifi listening public and reviewers alike are sold mainly on the hifi nature of the sound, not its musicality. Musica... 
FAB audio 1 speakers, how good are they?
Gliderguider,thank you for your response, much appreciated and fascinating. I suppose i should not exclude from a review that musicality and the emotional impact of the music has not been taken into account simply becauase it has not been mentione... 
FAB audio 1 speakers, how good are they?
Gliderguider,thank you for your generous response. Yes we do have a similarity in our systems.Of particular interest I note from your threads your move from active to passive to active preamplifier exactly like me. Myself I moved from a Hovland Hp...
