| Pre-amps with seperate power supplies ..... 8000.00 USD for a component is no indication it uses the best parts available(it may or may not). The point to keep in mind is the option to upgrade is strictly an individual one.If you don`t believe in this concept then you don`t change parts,it ... | |
| Digital vs Interconnect Cables - Difference? RO817,I'll give two examples of companies that use the identical cable for digital and analog use. ASI Liveline and it was very good in my system (one of the best soundihg I've heard).I'm currently using the High Fidelity CT-1Ultimate digital cabl... | |
| Pre-amps with seperate power supplies ..... "I think they know what they're doing"They know exactly what they're doing and part of this decision making includes economic considerations (with some companies it isn't the engineer's call to make). Even expensive components can be built with ve... | |
| high power tube amps vs ss Petepappp,Audio and musical enjoyment is overwhelmingly subjective, people listen and either accept or reject.We just like what we like.This is why choices abound in all component catagories,something for everyone.Regards, | |
| high power tube amps vs ss Al,Our "average" listening levels are in the same range(I say mine is roughly mid 70s-low 80s db).Al does your amp allow NFB settings other than zero feedback to match different speakers? Although I`ve heard this amp numerous times I don`t know it... | |
| Pre-amps with seperate power supplies ..... It`s true different and better aren`t the same.Can many audio components be improved upon? Yes! Grannyring is right in that lots of part choices are compromises by the builder to control cost and stay within a certain price target.Certain higher q... | |
| high power tube amps vs ss Hi Tubegroover,Yes you certainly understand the point I was trying to express.Components that emphasize the attack, "lighting fast trsnsients" but fail to maitain note substain and decay sound artificial. This type of presentation is incomplete an... | |
| high power tube amps vs ss Al,On relatively rare occasions when I crank up the volume it did remain controlled, clear and unstrained in character(95-103 peaks) but I just want to maintain good hearing as long as I can . I'm not getting any younger that's for sure, but my he... | |
| high power tube amps vs ss Al,Wow, you really listen at very high SPLs.A few days ago a friend and I visited a local jazz club and his phone has an application for SPL measurements. Average volume was roughly 87-92 with drum kit peaks 100-105 (we were very close to the stag... | |
| high power tube amps vs ss I understand that speed and other sonic parameters are subjective and individually just personal perceptions. I've found good tube power amplifiers to present a wonderful realistic sense of timimg, pace and musical flow.The presentation is very fl... | |
| Help with a system for a guy into electronic music Duke,Thanks for taking the time to post here.Your contribution is both educational and accurate regarding the advantages of higher efficiency speakers if better dynamic contrast and realism is the goal.My personal experiences support all that you ... | |
| Favorite 300B: Sophia vs KR Hi Max,I posted my tube comparison on my system page tonight.Charles, | |
| I HATE the song Salt Peanuts "Salt Peanuts" is a Bebop classic and I love it. Just proves once again taste will differ and that`s okay. | |
| Current amp vs Voltage amp Deadlvj,I agree and wish other builders/designers would express their beliefs and ideas.This can lead to very informative discussions and of course different views and conclusions. There's no rule that demands we all have to agree on everything. V... | |
| Current amp vs Voltage amp Deadlyvi,My post was a general observation based on my own listening opportunities. I thought my last sentence made it clear where I'm coming from.What I prefer has nothing to do with your own specific listening experiences and conclusions. Some h... |
