| Preamp question - Cary Clone Well the Cary, as is the case with many designs, is a clone of sorts of earlier designs. | |
| Considering a New Tube Pre-amp I owned the MP-3 for a time and was very pleased. I replaced it with a $ 12K line stage and then I also have a $ 18K phono stage which outperformed the MP-3 collectively. If you consider the quality of the phono stage the preamp is unbeatable in m... | |
| Phono Stage - The great analog tragedy They can exist in the same chassis, but the advantage of these being separate should be obvious. | |
| Darko Audio: Let's End the Cost Videos Well for me it is just the opposite. I have always maintained that you ability to listen is heavily influenced by the very best systems you have heard. The more exceptional systems, the higher your level of awareness. Yes you are correct about the... | |
| Darko Audio: Let's End the Cost Videos Free Canadian Air? Actually in this hobby, a younger age is not a plus. For those of you that have been paying attention for 2 to 3 decades, how much better is your ability to listen than it was when you first started? | |
| What type of speaker would sound better? Depends on how the extra cost is applied to the cabinets. If you are just making a thin walled ply or otherwise look pretty with a very nice veneer and finish then you are correct. If the money is put into making the cabinets inert, eliminating pa... | |
| Darko Audio: Let's End the Cost Videos Both of these guys are new to me. I watched a few videos from each and you can keep them both. Funny how some of these Youtube experts make me yearn for the top tier reviewers who I dont think have much to add either. I strongly suggest no of you ... | |
| Sellers Beware I have great luck with the USPS, but I rarely use them for larger items. By far and without fail, UPS has been the worst carrier I have used. It is getting to the point where I wont ship except on a pallet. | |
| Acoustics experts - a little help please The type of speakers, or the type of drivers in your speakers, has a great deal to do with ceiling treatment. | |
| Differences Between Folded Horn Speakers and Transmission Line Speakers TLs tend to sound better than ports, but the bass is still not on par with the best sealed enclosures IMO. What we are discussing is tighter bass, not so much lower bass. Ports and some TLs have the tendency to sound as if they have lower bass, bu... | |
| Informed/Insightful information requested on Tannoy GRF loudspeakers I wouldn buy any speaker without listening. I would not buy Tannoys without listening to them several times. I have never lived with a Tannoy, but every time I have heard the larger models at shows I havent been even remotely impressed. I simply d... | |
| KT88 Tubes Good advice from viridian. Always replace the entire set of power tubes unless you had an early failure in the set. If this amp is in original form internally you will need to replace caps at the minimum. | |
| What type of speaker would sound better? High end 2 way. | |
| How good is the crossover in your loudspeakers? Crossovers are intrinsically problematic. Do you choose the drivers before or after designing the crossover? Many choose drivers first I think which is very limiting. | |
| Article: "Do Blind Listening Tests Work? My Sessions with the Colorado Audio Society" I dont think it is possible to construct a double blind test that will yield accurate and germane data. In fact any effectiveness of such a test goes out the window once the participants know they are being tested. The most effective experiences I... |
