| Has Anyone Found Shunyata Cables Sounding Thin? Thanks Psag,My only point is that there's no avoiding the listening process when judging satisfaction with a component or complete system. | |
| Has Anyone Found Shunyata Cables Sounding Thin? Sabai,My apology for the Beethoven post, that was meant to go elsewhere, sorry.Charles, | |
| Pre + Amplifier Recommendation My experience is the polar opposite of what Mattmiller finds. It has been the low to moderate power tube amplifiers with high efficiency speakers that are noticeably more convincing and visceral in music communication and "feel". But we all can re... | |
| Has Anyone Found Shunyata Cables Sounding Thin? I've ordered the Beethoven septet and a Andras Schiff(Beethoven Piano Sonatas Volume 7) CDs. My classical music knowledge and collection is very small compared to jazz music. So far I am attracted more to cello than violin(I do enjoy this instrume... | |
| Has Anyone Found Shunyata Cables Sounding Thin? Sabai,Thanks for your reply, I understand, increasing the load driven (ohms) benefits the OTL amplifier. Charles, | |
| Has Anyone Found Shunyata Cables Sounding Thin? Hi Sabai,I had the same thought as Knghifi when reading your system description. The Atmasphere S 30 and Raidho struck me as a questionable pairing, although individually judged both are well regarded. It would seem that the S30 OTL amp could bene... | |
| Has Anyone Found Shunyata Cables Sounding Thin? A designer who'd stay away from something "regardless of how they may sound" is someone's whose products I'd likely stay away from. Sound quality becoming secondary to some other criteria when building audio components is misguided. Measurements c... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Mikirob,Your wife has good ears, does she share your musician background? The SET amplifiers sacrifice power relative to push pull alternatives. Their simpler design/circuits in return offer purer and more natural sound IMO. There's less complexit... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? I bet she sounds as good as shes looks. | |
| Do prefer a black or silver faceplate? Silver, I find black components dull and drab looking. Wood panels done tastefully is my first choice. Wood has a beauty and natural warmth that just isn't possible with metals. | |
| Has Anyone Found Shunyata Cables Sounding Thin? Hi Onhwh61,Come on now, if given a choice which would you choose? You seem to be going out of the way to downplay the necessity of ours ears. Anyway I was just trying to make what I believe is an obvious point. I don't mean to turn this into some ... | |
| Has Anyone Found Shunyata Cables Sounding Thin? Hi Onhwy61,The ears are an integral part of this process, not our nose, eyes or fingertips. As I did earlier reference the obvious brain processing of information as you point out. I guess what I don't understand is why some people try to deny or ... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Mikirob, It obvious to me you have very good ears and you trust them (you know what you like). You'll end up with speakers that suit your taste and system well.Charles, | |
| Has Anyone Found Shunyata Cables Sounding Thin? Psag, With all due respect your comment doesn't make sense(unless I misunderstand you).The entire point of having an audio system is to listen to music. We listen by using our ears(and brain processing). If we don't or won't rely on our ears what ... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Yes, I think Mikirob will definitely appreciate the CSL and Frankenstein when the time is right for him. Fortunately he isn't suffering with the Dynamo at the present. Hmiguel (owner and designer of Tripoint Audio) is very pleased with his recentl... |
