| Do you believe in Magic? I had another difficult-to-explain experience. Whether it is Magic is an open question.My system is computer based. I recently replaced the hard disk drive in my computer with a solid state drive. Formerly, I used HDD's both for the OS and for mus... | |
| What is a high end stereo SUPPOSED to sound like? Thank you, Nonoise. I will print out your post and present it to my psychiatrist. Then she will finally have to rescind the restraining order.bc | |
| What is a high end stereo SUPPOSED to sound like? Ok, so I'm not crazy. Or at least my ears aren't crazy.Interesting comments. I particularly like Nonoise and Whart's observation that realistic decays are at least as important as realistic attacks. In fact, I would add that to the list of answers... | |
| Shielding components from EMI/RFI... Help please Yes, Onemug, I did notice a small improvement after they had about 100 hours on them. I am very impressed with the performance of the AC-9's. Remarkable for the price.The fact that I preferred the very affordable AC-9's to the very expensive Pytho... | |
| Shielding components from EMI/RFI... Help please Update for anyone still interested in my adventures in EMI/RFI reduction...Three more changes:--I replaced the unshielded power cords for the power conditioner, the preamp, and the amp with shielded power cords. An improvement, even though I went ... | |
| 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... |
