| Anyone familiar with Mullard 12AX7 10M tube ? Well when these Mullards were made you didnt have components that really beat the tubes as some do now. All depends on the circuit I think. | |
| The $27,900 disappointment? Wilson Audio Watt Puppy 8 issues. I meant weird curve/low impedance speaker. Sorry! So you mention a demo which you didnt hear. I guess because Dave did this demo we should assume the sound was excellent. C'mon show us a bit of respect! Yes sarcasm from Mulv., but not very cleve... | |
| Question for Atma-sphere, will expensive power cables improve your amplifiers? I have MA-1s and noticed some improvement with aftermarket power cords. Very expensive and borrowed. Didnt like the high end Shunyata power conditioner on these amps so they go right into my wall. | |
| Anyone familiar with Mullard 12AX7 10M tube ? A number of tube manufacturers used special designations for what they claimed to be higher quality examples within a tube family. My guess, at most, is that they may have factory tested and given this badge of honor. There is no way the 10Ms, Gol... | |
| JBL 4349 at low listening levels. I find that horns are very good at low levels. I am not a fan of horns, but this is something that they do well. You can further improve low levels by using tube amps. | |
| Is there usually a dramatic difference between $5k and $10k cartridges ? Yes but you have to be careful. Many cartridge manufacturers have a bit of "house sound" so do your research. The comment about very cheap cables in recording studios is doubtful, but even if true is meaningless. It is about getting the most fro... | |
| The $27,900 disappointment? Wilson Audio Watt Puppy 8 issues. Great how did the demo sound? Absurd thought that because you can drive a $ 20K plus speaker with cheap electronics you would. As if this would be a reason to not make a speaker easy to drive. Many of you are showing a fundamental misunderstandi... | |
| The $27,900 disappointment? Wilson Audio Watt Puppy 8 issues. Well I think this is not surprising. Those who are attracted to this sound buy the speakers and those that arent dont. | |
| The $27,900 disappointment? Wilson Audio Watt Puppy 8 issues. I should add that Wilson has been very successful to date with some idiosyncratic performance issues so I cant blame the son for not changing much on the new designs. Thank goodness he changed the tweeter. | |
| The $27,900 disappointment? Wilson Audio Watt Puppy 8 issues. No one with expensive high quality speakers would drive these with cheap electronics. This isnt the issue. The issue is if Wilson can achieve the same quality of sound making the speakers higher impedance with a more refined curve. As it stands Wi... | |
| The Audio Science Review (ASR) approach to reviewing wines. Amir is absent from this thread because of the damage he did to his "brand" the last time he got involved. Textbychoice is correct with numbers 1,3 and 4 listed above. Didnt know about the engineer video. | |
| The $27,900 disappointment? Wilson Audio Watt Puppy 8 issues. An amps ability to drive lower impedance loads has no relation to the amps quality. | |
| The Audio Science Review (ASR) approach to reviewing wines. Our audio group routinely does simple double blind tests and I can tell you it is not a relaxing experience. I am convinced that people listen very differently under testing conditions than they do normally. But the real issue is why should you ... | |
| The Audio Science Review (ASR) approach to reviewing wines. The real question is why do the doubters care? Amir is not a scientist! Wouldnt make a bit of difference if he was. ASR takes an extreme view and attracts the disgruntled along the way. | |
| The Audio Science Review (ASR) approach to reviewing wines. The quality of the gear is not in question. |
