Diana Krall, Wallflower
Rpeluso,it's just a discussion & our opinions being voiced. Don't take it too seriously. Indeed I or any one of us can read too much into how DK acted or reacted but what one person sees, another sees it differently. The whole idea of the foru... 
Your last concert was to see who and when?
Fleetwood Mac in March & Diana Krall in April.Enjoyed the Fleetwood Mac concert more that i thought i would - saw them some 20 yrs ago in Florida & enjoyed it back then as well.DK - hmmmmm.......she could have done her concert better. I fe... 
Diana Krall, Wallflower
Saw her in concert very recently in April 2015. Overall I *think* I liked the concert but there were many times that I wondered what i was doing in being present in the audience...On all her album covers she looks cold even tho she's blonde & ... 
Goertz still the choice with Vandersteen?
Ctsooner, thanks for your feedback & I'm glad that I could help. 
Goertz still the choice with Vandersteen?
In speaking with an audio engineer/designer, he said that he's had many of the top named cables on his bench and many couldn't even pass a square wave. They clipped them and it didn't matter what materials were used, they just weren't designed pro... 
Is Louder always Better?
good post, Almarg. We are in agreement & I also indicated in my post that each music has a volume setting that makes it sound correct. Pretty similar to what you wrote.I had to read the OP's post several times to try to understand his usage of... 
THIEL Audio their demise...
Dtc, thanks for the 101 on Thiel speakers. I did learn something new today - that Kathy was an original founding partner. 
THIEL Audio their demise...
Yes, I had a similar experience. Soon after Jim's unfortunate demise I emailed the lady who was his right hand at that time & was apparently running the company then & asked her whether she would maintain the time-coherent design philosoph... 
Is Louder always Better?
Rhyno, I agree with some of your points & disagree with others...the thing about home audio (digital particularly) is that as external noise is reduced, you are left w/ a purer signal....after having read your entire OP where you "decoded" the...

"Warm Sounding" Solid State Amplifiers
Thanks for the correction Unsound. I didn't forget Forte when I wrote that post. My time-frame must have started when Pass & Threshold + Forte coexisted for some time & in my mind Pass Labs was the upmarket brand with Threshold & Forte... 
"Warm Sounding" Solid State Amplifiers
Pontiflex,if you like the Pass amps that much, it just might be worth your time to look into getting a Threshold amp. These were essentially Pass amps but marketed & sold by Threshold which was a down-market brand compared to a Pass. My brothe... 
"Warm Sounding" Solid State Amplifiers
What I hear with live music is sound that is really relaxed. It may get loud, but even when it does, there is no "cringe" factor. I think most audiophiles would be put off with this kind of "relaxation" in their home systems. not me anymore!! I've... 
"Warm Sounding" Solid State Amplifiers
i see! it was actually aimed at you inadvertently.... ;-) LOL! 
"Warm Sounding" Solid State Amplifiers
Pontiflex, Thanks for the feedback. Great that you made the effort to listen to some Pass amps. Yes, they are MOSFET output stage amps (as opposed to bipolar) & I believe that also has something to do with the sonics that you heard given that ...
