| Why do Audiophiles feel the need... Ajackson1,So tell me how you really feel about the copper, and how was the purity, was it 9 nines copper purity. Since we discussed copper vs. silver cables, ad nauseam, then we should get some great impresssions, but I personally think that silve... | |
| Why do Audiophiles feel the need... But when someone has components in a system and they do change out something in the chain, that is still a valid opinion IMO. The reason being is that if I have a benchmark of what my system sounds like with specific components, regardless of what... | |
| B&W 802N Your own opinion and listetning experience is all that matters. From my experience, I can tell you that I drive a set of N800's with tube mono amps rated at 140 per channel, but with an external power supply with plent of reserves when you need it... | |
| As system improves, do bad recordings sound worse? I believe as you improve your system, the ability to play back music with higher resolution improves, but a bad recording will still be a bad recording played back on a higher resolution system. There is no fixing a bad recording and using whateve... | |
| What is the Phono stage you have finished with? The Aesthetix IO Signature with one power supply. I have listened to Pass XOno, ASR Exclusive, Einstein and BAT products. These are all great products but I decided to keep the IO. Tube rush, I had minimal at first, can be addressed with tube matc... | |
| B&W N800, 800D, 802D for my room 16x17x8 I have N800's and 802's, and they never sound and I quote "Flabby/slow/bloated maybe but never tight". I guess that individuals experience is way different than mine and perhaps did not have a good room or setup. I have driven these with Mark Levi... | |
| SME V arm and what cartridge? The Benz LP or Benz LPS sounds like it will fit your description. I use the older Benz LP with an SME V and it presents itself as a neutral pick-up device, neither detracting nor adding to the music. I hear music and nothing exagerated in the freq... | |
| TW-Acustic Arm Der Tonarm, Thank you for clarifying yourself. I know that because you are in marketing that many issues regarding how people perceive a product to those who are early adopters add relevance to purchasing decisions. I am a business major myself an... | |
| TW-Acustic Arm Dertonarm, I did not see any marketing inference for the new TW tonearm. I for one do post on German audio web sites and engage others with audio discussions as you do here in the American forums. I can where Gerrym5 was going with his post and do... | |
| TW-Acustic Arm Sorry, aber neine, ich habe nie gehort mit der tonarm. Ich habe die TW Akustik laufwerk im eine audio-show im Dusseldorf gehort, aber damals war die TW geraten meisten nur im Deutschland. Was ich gehort damals war schones Musik und alles was gehor... | |
| It is 5 AM, Do you Know where Mikey Fremer is? That is way too much of a burden for anyone to endure, just mail me one of the boxes and I will gladly listen to them and share with you the music experience via the forum. Ciao,Audioquest4life | |
| It is 5 AM, Do you Know where Mikey Fremer is? To continue on with the donated part; a co-worker of my wife said she had 3 boxes of records and would offer them to me, a mixed bag of rock, country and jazz she said. I can't wait to see them. I guess when you are associated with music and espec... | |
| It is 5 AM, Do you Know where Mikey Fremer is? I truly believe that anyone who exhibits the traits in searching and caring for records are people who truly care for music. Michael Fremer is simply the most vocal of those that do that, myself included. I have about 4700 with about 1000 needing ... | |
| Retubing my McIntosh MC2102 Jgiacalo,"I find the Genalex Gold Lion KT88s vastly superior to both Winged Cs and the stock Mc tubes".What equipment were you using when you made the comparison? My experience is different than yours. I believe it is in the application of the tub... | |
| EL34 SED, Black Sable or Genelex Gold Lion? I know this is a post about specific brands but I do not want to start another thread so close in nature to this one, can anyone offer their experiences with the EH EL34's or TAD EL34's compared to these tubes. I am getting to roll some tubes in m... |
