| Saxaphone vs. Trumpet...Which do you prefer? Hi Frogman, If anyone could answer this question it would be you. Is the baritone saxophone more difficult to play/master due to its size and bulk compared to the smaller saxophones or is this just urban lore?Charles | |
| Saxaphone vs. Trumpet...Which do you prefer? Parker65310,I have no doubt that Roxy54 is keenly aware of and recognizes the musician’s expression is of paramount importance and the highest priority (along with talent). Roxy is a music lover and the question posed is a fun and interesting way ... | |
| Saxaphone vs. Trumpet...Which do you prefer? Hi Roxy54,You posted a very fun question for a committed jazz fan such as myself. As has been stated above both are tremendous in the hands of a talented musician. In the spirit of this thread where a preference is requested I’ll go with the magni... | |
| Affordable SET's with 211 or 300B tubes, (2000 dolllars maximum) I don't agree that all Chinese made amplifiers are negatively viewed on this site. Those that don't preform well or have reliability issues have been rightly called out. On the other hand those such as for example Line Magnetic have received con... | |
| Affordable SET's with 211 or 300B tubes, (2000 dolllars maximum) I agree with testpilot. SETs are simple straight forward designs but to be successful require high quality parts especially the output transformer. High quality transformers are not inexpensive. This point is amplified in regard to the 211/845 po... | |
| Imported audio are you getting the same level of performance vs domestic priced equip? Millercarbon +1, your satire is on point.Charles | |
| Audio Note Kit 1 Upgrade Or New Dac Hi akwilson, You're happy with your current sound quality but what do you prefer most, the AN kit or the Chord presentation? My gut feeling would be to move toward the AN with higher quality output transformers.Good Luck,Charles | |
| Tekton Perfect SET I agree with the suggestion to try both amplifiers with the Perfect SET speakers and compare results. My gut feeling is that overall the tubed Dennis Had amplifier will be sonically superior and more engaging/involving with this speaker.Charles | |
| Tekton Perfect SET I’d heed the advice from Eric. He must believe that a 12" woofer is totally sufficient for the cubic space you have with proper speaker placement. I believe this speaker with the Dennis Had amplifier has much potential for success.Charles | |
| Which 300b amplifier for Devore O/96 Esstrand,I look forward to reading your listening impressions of this list of very fine amplifiers.Any one of these amplifiers is capable of excellent sound quality/performance if paired with an appropriate speaker. I’m sure you’re enjoying this ... | |
| Crossover Capacitors for Accuton Tweeters - Solen -> ClarityCap -> Jupiter -> Duelund Bill (brownsfan)I agree with you. This IMO was a language/communication issue. I realized this after reading Raul's 2nd clarifying post on this thread.Charles | |
| Crossover Capacitors for Accuton Tweeters - Solen -> ClarityCap -> Jupiter -> Duelund Hi Bill, I like your "rants" they’re grounded in logic and stimulate thought. Given the gist of Raul’s 2nd post I believe he’d agree with you. No room, system or component is without fault and we as listeners choose and live with our accepted/inev... | |
| Crossover Capacitors for Accuton Tweeters - Solen -> ClarityCap -> Jupiter -> Duelund Hello Raul, I appreciate your last post and the clarification of your stance. I do not disagree with anything that you have just written. My only point was This topic/area is by default purely subjective. Each one of us will pursue what we think s... | |
| Crossover Capacitors for Accuton Tweeters - Solen -> ClarityCap -> Jupiter -> Duelund Erik, I agree with your statement about "added sparkle" not heard in the presence of live instruments. I became aware of this effect from personal experience many years ago and realized that so called hyper detail is simply added upper frequency t... | |
| Crossover Capacitors for Accuton Tweeters - Solen -> ClarityCap -> Jupiter -> Duelund Bill (brownsfan),I had the pleasure of using a professionally built Nelson Pass D.I.Y. designed S.I,T 2 push pull version that is 40 watts per channel for about 3 weeks (thanks to a generous Audiogon member loan). I can tell you it was a ’VERY’ go... |
