| Why does most new music suck? Popular music keeps getting worse and worse, IMO. And for the record, I'm not one of those who prefers the popular music of his own generation (the 80's). I prefer the popular music of generations before mine. Virtually any of them.Some hypotheses... | |
| Neutral or warm? Which do you prefer? Hi Liquid-smooth -- I've been interested in the question of "neutrality" vs. "warmth" for several years. Two threads that may interest you are How do you judge your system's neutrality? and What is "warmth" and how do you get it?. Judging from the... | |
| Help with a system for a guy into electronic music I think Duke makes an excellent point about the value of high efficiency speakers for creating dynamic contrast. It is a point I overlooked in my previous posts.IME, high efficiency speakers often have the same kind of headroom that I associate wi... | |
| Help with a system for a guy into electronic music Colonel - I am by no means an expert on active speakers, but 4 that come to mind are...-- Dynaudio, like these.-- Focal, like these.-- ATC, like these.-- PMC, like these.It will be quite a challenge to audition all of those, but if you could liste... | |
| Help with a system for a guy into electronic music I previously owned Dynaudio Focus 140's and a JL Audio F113. I think both of these are a good choice for electronic music. The Dynaudio 140's were surprisingly capable in the bass, and could play loud while remaining composed. The JL F113 is a gre... | |
| Coconut Audio $1.5 million power cord My favorite tweak are the seashells, which you can see here. Here is the description...SeaShell BlackRain gives a blacker background with higher resolution that is sparkly and fresh. It sounds like the rain at night. It can be used on top of the c... | |
| high power tube amps vs ss I recently switched from two SS amps (Pass XA30.5 and Parasound A23) to two tube amps (Prima Luna Dialogue 4 and Prima Luna Dialogue 7). FWIW, I am very happy with the new tube amps. To my ears, the tube amps are less neutral than the SS amps. But... | |
| Interconnects Roller Coaster Ride Has anyone experienced this continued roller coster ride in good-to-poor sound from the Morrows?FWIW, I have used both MA-1's and MA-3's from Morrow and I have not noticed the effect you are describing. Anything is possible, but I think variations... | |
| Cables more hype than value? I agree.Bryon | |
| Cables more hype than value? Some people never fail to miss the point. The point is not that value and expense NEVER correlate. The point is that value and expense do not ALWAYS correlate.Bryon | |
| Cables more hype than value? 03-26-13: AlmargDoes a $5,000 watch tell time any better than a $30 watch?I am somewhat reluctant to admit that I once owned a $5000 watch from a very well regarded manufacturer. It was an automatic watch, which is to say, its mainspring was wound... | |
| 3 channel sound In my current system, I listen to Trifield through my Meridian G68. I have three identical speakers and three channels of (nearly) identical amplification.I can tell you from experience that Trifield presents quite a few challenges to set up, as t... | |
| morrow audio Rpeluso -- I don't doubt that you are hearing what you are hearing. I'm just wondering whether there are other factors that are causing or contributing to the inconsistent sound. I don't have a good alternative hypothesis for you, perhaps Al will ... | |
| morrow audio I use both interconnects and speaker cables from Morrow. FWIW, I have not noticed the effect you are describing. Perhaps there are other variables contributing to the inconsistent sound you are hearing.Bryon | |
| Triode mode vs pento mode I am new to tubes, but my experience so far with my Prima Luna amps (a Dialogue 4 and a Dialogue 7) is similar to Dover's. In triode, in my system, the PL's seem to lose resolution and dynamics. And the bass becomes less defined, even with my spea... |
