| Tube in Preamp or Power amp? Wenn you want speed, drive, dynamics ,wide and deep stage and also a musical sound I would go for SS poweramp and tube preamp. I listened to many tube amps in my life. Wenn you owned and listen to brands like Pass Labs you understand the drive and... | |
| Best Amp for Timbre, Depth and Spatial Resolution? It is not about age. I started when I was 6. I got a stereo tape recorder of Philips with tubes. In the beginning wenn I started in audio in 98 I was busy with it for 80 hours a week. It was that addictive for me. Audio is about understanding musi... | |

| Best Amp for Timbre, Depth and Spatial Resolution? When are we talking about quality in audio? When is it good and when is it bad? Yess taste Always will be a very important part. For me music and also audio is emotion. I want to be touched. I want to feel the emotion in the music. A technical wel... | |
| Cables more hype than value? The % real good stuff in audio is extreme small. In over 15 years I do this work and visited many shows, dustributers, shops clients and even manufacturers I am still stuned about how much shit there is on the market. I first could not sell it to ... | |
| Best Amp for Timbre, Depth and Spatial Resolution? I did not bash Wilson Audio. I wrote that there speakers need a lot of attention before you get a decent level for the money you paid. That is not the same as bashing a product. I even wrote that I love the looks and how it is build. But you need ... | |
| Upgrade from AQ King Cobra to Columbia DBS Always nice to know that there are people happy with my thoughts. Some people don't like me because they think that I bash there beloved audio stuff. Being critical is something else than bashing. I am also critical to the stuff I own myself. | |
| Best Amp for Timbre, Depth and Spatial Resolution? Maybe houses are bigger in the US? When I see the pictures of Wilson Audio speakers here at Audiogon I see bigger rooms. Often special audio rooms and room acoustic treatment. What I said earlier; speakers which need a lot of attention. I never wa... | |
| Best Amp for Timbre, Depth and Spatial Resolution? We also asked to naim people why people should pay so muc money for 2 dimensional sound. They had no answer for it. For me it is a normal question. We Always go to shows with a few people. We have our own music with us. We go to the dealer day. Of... | |
| Cables more hype than value? I tested many canbles in 15 years of time. In my opinion there are a lot cables which are average or even poor. So yes you can say that most cables are more hype than there value worth. But about audio in general the same thing. | |
| Best Amp for Timbre, Depth and Spatial Resolution? Musical Fidelity there amps are musical and very well controled. The sound has become warmer the last years. There is some depth, but not in the league of Pass Labs. In the past I gave shows for the distributer of MF. Compared to Naim the focus of... | |
| Best Amp for Timbre, Depth and Spatial Resolution? All the demo's in the past with the 802N and the 800 Signature with Mark levinson were often dissapoiting. The best options I think are:Musical Fidelity, Pass labs X0.5 series and Krell | |
| Best Amp for Timbre, Depth and Spatial Resolution? Last year I talked with Pass Labs about the idea of creating a new roomacoustic system in there pre-amps. Because the highend brands still do not make a good room acoustic system. Mctosh is using the old dated version of Tact. This is not usable f... | |
| Best Amp for Timbre, Depth and Spatial Resolution? I sold Tact in the past, also there room acoustic system. We were not a fan of it. The sound is far from natural. And it sounds even clinical. The demos they give are most of the time dissapoiting these days. I recently sold the Millenium Tact of ... | |
| Best Amp for Timbre, Depth and Spatial Resolution? I am glad we have a discussion about audio again :) |
