| One Amp To ‘Rule’ Them All.... @cleeds yes I know we have some very exacting measures when it comes to the functional testing of gear. But do we know what causes our perceptions of certain gear? Have we defined enough our language about those perceptions? What you call ‘tonalit... | |
| One Amp To ‘Rule’ Them All.... And just because this industry has been ‘the wild west’ for so long doesn’t mean it has to continue this way.Honest so much of it is agreed to voodoo and kept that way so very well off people can keep enjoying spending more and more money.Let’s st... | |
| One Amp To ‘Rule’ Them All.... @2psyop Why is this a silly question? We have defined many standard measures in the world. Why is it silly to want to further define our ability to communicate about the qualities of audio reproduction?If we can begin to agree on (not love, like, ... | |
| One Amp To ‘Rule’ Them All.... I just think we’ve got to be able to come up with some common ground and some reference standards....We need ‘yard sticks’ for all the subjective experiences we are always batting about.To make sure we are all talking about the same things and in ... | |
| One Amp To ‘Rule’ Them All.... Please reread my original post when time permits. I am not looking for ‘the best’, I am looking for all of your opinions on ‘standards’, amplifiers that can be used as a basis for standards and/or as common points of reference. | |

| HELP!!! I need a “GOOD-CHEAP” preamp solution??? Sonic Frontiers Line 1 or Line 2. Once you have one you’ll never need anything else. | |
| A DAC that can make digital sound analog? Is it me or does digital often feel like too much information? Maybe too much of what isn’t essential...? Dunno. There is almost a ‘shout’ or ‘all on’ quality to it. I often explain it as the sensation of there being no room for the listener in mu... | |
| A DAC that can make digital sound analog? I listened to a 3 3/4 version of Jethro Tulls Aqualung a few nights ago. I didn’t have high expectations cus of the ips and the fact that that album does not sound good on CD. The tape was a joy to listen to. So integrated, pleasant, cohesive. Won... | |
| A DAC that can make digital sound analog? I’d love to hear that Hendrix reel!!! | |
| Roger Paul has passed away I was in contact with Mr. Paul a month before he passed. We had shared some phone calls and texts. He seemed like a very nice man.I still haven’t heard any of his works. If anyone is in the greater Los Angeles area and has some of his gear I’d lov... | |
| How important is it for you to attain a holographic image? “Harmonic envelope” is a very good explanation of sound....almost holographic. | |
| Sonic Frontiers Line 2SE vs. SFL2 He insisted on one make of tube as being the best...I can look and let you know after this weekend. I still have a strange center channel balance issue in my system that wasnt there until i started using the SF-L2. Its track dependent. The strange... | |
