| What is a high end stereo SUPPOSED to sound like? Here's another thing I've noticed that bears on the OP's question... When things take a leap forward in SQ in my system or one that I'm very familiar with, one of the things I often hear is a subjective "slowing" of the music.I don't mean the kind... | |
| Fuses that matter. 07-23-12: Almarg...as I suggested earlier, how do we know that comparable differences would not occur if an extensive and thorough comparison were performed among several different inexpensive garden-variety fuses? Especially given that the techni... | |
| What is a high end stereo SUPPOSED to sound like? Bryon and Almarg, are you suggesting lack of neutrality includes any and all perceivable kinds of distortion? If you are, then can we not use "the alternate", aka, accuracy?The word 'neutrality' means different things to different people. I use th... | |
| Morrow Audio Cables Feedback I also own the MA3's. I agree with Philjolet's characterization of them, although keep in mind that the effects of cables are largely system dependent. Having said that, I'm very happy with them. I've owned several interconnects from big name manu... | |
| What is a high end stereo SUPPOSED to sound like? Hi Learsfool - I value your opinion, and I always look forward to reading your posts. We've discussed the concept of 'neutrality' many times on many threads, and we can never seem to agree on what it means or whether it's a real characteristic or ... | |
| What is a high end stereo SUPPOSED to sound like? I agree, an interesting article. I enjoyed the criteria for diagnosing audio nervosa, but I was even more interested in their proposed "Comparison by Contrast" method of evaluating audio equipment......play a larger number of recordings of vastly ... | |
| Is my Pass amp overheating? 07-07-12: BtselectI think you are making a mountain out of a mole hill, I would just get a fan or two, place one under the amp and or one on top of the amp sucking out. I recommend using the Noctua NF-P14FLX fan.I happen to own two 120mm Noctua fa... | |
| Opinions on Magnepans sales/marketing approach to 07-08-12: Honeybee2012I hate to say it, but all the things we love, bookstores, newspapers, HiFi shops will be few and far between.Sadly true.The lending program is a great idea. Hope it catches on.Honeybee, a fellow dreamer! :-)bc | |
| Opinions on Magnepans sales/marketing approach to All fair points, Nonoise. Still, a boy can dream. It would be a great enhancement to our hobby, IMO.A scenario where other owners open their homes to fellow audiophiles is also a nice idea, though that requires a culture of trust, which doesn't ex... | |
| Opinions on Magnepans sales/marketing approach to This is probably a naive question, but I'll ask it anyway: Why don't middle-sized manufacturers like Magnepan built 5 or so pairs of "demo-only speakers" that they will ship to potential customers to audition in their home for a fee? Here are some... | |
| Is my Pass amp overheating? ...you have the issue of both channels being equally biased. Herein lives everything you're going to love or hate about a particular amp. Without it you have no channel balance, stereo image, frequency extension, or the ability to determine low le... | |
| What is a high end stereo SUPPOSED to sound like? 07-07-12: LearsfoolHi guys - I wanted to chime in on the conversation about recording spaces for a moment that Bryon and Mapman are having. I don't think that anyone has made the point here that one would almost never want their music to sound lik... | |
| why do we argue? 07-05-12: AlmargEarly on in this thread (in my post of 6-11-12) I referred to how easy it is for extraneous variables to produce misleading results when it comes to assessing audio products and tweaks, especially when lengthy breakin periods are r... | |
| Is my Pass amp overheating? I talked with Kent at Pass Labs about the amp's autobias. He was the one who confirmed that removing the lid increases the amp's bias because it lowers the internal temperature in the chassis. That triggers the amp to turn up the bias until it rea... | |
| What is a high end stereo SUPPOSED to sound like? 07-05-12: CdcIMHO, the Holy Grail would be 100% CORRECT room interaction. So would an anechoic chamber which has NO room effects be the best room interaction?IMO, the answer is no. The total lack of ambient cues in an anechoic chamber results in p... |
