| Speakers The single most critical component With age comes age! Only this much is certain. | |
| Speakers The single most critical component Mozart,Let it go man! Yes there have been some significant improvements in full range drivers recently but the only real advantage is the lack of a crossover (which is significant). Must you continue to try to recruit for your "tribe"? | |
| Wilson Audio Specialties Chronosonic XVX loudspeaker!! only $300,000.oo I believe a case can be made that a speaker with this sort of impedance is a poorly designed speaker! No amp exists that will sound best with this type of load. Sort of like asking an amplifier to fix problems that exist in a design due to bad eng... | |
| Speakers The single most critical component Mozartfan,Your last sentence is ridiculous and simply one person's perspective. I think a very strong case can be made that FR speakers have more weaknesses than strengths. I know of few experienced enthusiasts that havent heard good FR designs an... | |
| The Intellectual People Podcast - Galen Gareis (Former Belden Wire Designer) Well when doug and dltech start sparring I dont know how much more fun this could be. An armchair dilettante or a self-styled audio journalist who writes for anyone who might possibly listen. The hubris on both sides is worth 10 times the price of... | |
| Speakers The single most critical component If I were to go the FR route, which I doubt I ever will, I would use OTL amps. | |
| Which Phono Preamp? The Herron is a great phono stage, however, we felt the Zesto Deluxe II was clearly better. The Zesto Deluxe II is more expensive. We havent had a chance to compare the Herron head to head with the entry level Zesto Andros II yet. Although the And... | |
| What do we hear when we change the direction of a wire? I dont understand the concern of those like dletch2 for the rest of us deluded souls. I also dont understand why these folks think that the biases they suffer are endemic to the human race and also the apparent need to put all of us hobbyists in ... | |
| What are Your Favorite Tweeters? Wonder who makes the plasma on the Lansche speakers I mentioned earlier? Right you are about plasmas! | |
| What are Your Favorite Tweeters? Perhaps the plasma (?) used in the Lansche speakers. I tend to like soft domes in a more conventional design. | |
| NPS-1260 Connection fluid A product sounds the same regardless of the markup. And if you havent tried it you are in no position to comment. | |
| Synergistic Research Galileo SX Power cord. (Opinions on sound quality appreciated). As with just about everything in the SR line, wait a short time until they come out with new (and improved) stuff and buy it used for pennies on the dollar. This is also a good time to catch dealers blowing out their new older stuff for a deep dis... | |
| I must be old I am now 95% vinyl and rarely have problems with surface noise. Of course I am fairly fastidious in cleaning. Digital only gets played now for background music. | |
| Have I got the wrong amp? or the wrong speakers? A friend had the same problem with floor standing Wharfdales using a newer mid-fi Onkyo receiver. Better electronics helped a bit but not much. | |
| Tube Amp Doctor tad black plate KT-88 I can only comment on how this type tested versus other current production KT-88s. Recently I purchased large quantities, at least for me, of new production power tubes from an estate in California. Amon the KT-88s were TADs, reissue Gold Lions an... |
