| How big of a difference do amps make? Hi Ngjockey,No peer pressure here,just people expressing personal experiences. Liz`s statement about 'tube coloration' is fine, just recognize that solid state has its own colorations also.In fact name any audio component thay lacks coloration, th... | |
| Starting from Scratch -Please Help Pick 1 out of 3 The goodarcher,What type of sound/music reproduction do you really want?The Pass Maggie combo is quite different from VAC with Devore. I doubt you`d like such different systems equally.All VAC with full range Devore is getting many votes for a rea... | |
| Donald Byrd Hi Orpheus10,Just so there`s no misunderstanding I`m at all not interested in ranking "who`s better". I was simply referring to who I like/prefer which is different. For example I prefer DHT SET amps but would`nt proclaim they`re the best amps per... | |
| Time of listening session? Tubegroover,You ever get the feeling micah was glad to have lucasboy around?Regards, | |
| How big of a difference do amps make? Hi Fla,Like Gsm I`ve heard both in my amp. The Sophia RP is excellent and top tier,the Takatsuki is a step beyond that level.It`s outstanding.Regards, | |
| Time of listening session? I would`nt mess with with Lucas McCain.Both he and Matt Dillon had the high body counts. But look, those bad guys got what they deserved LOL.Regards, | |
| How big of a difference do amps make? Ngjockey, When you purchase your audio components do you choose by how they sound or how you 'think' they sound?Who are the Kool Aid drinkers? why is liz`s viewpoint any better or worse just because she prefers SS amps,it`s simply an individual ch... | |
| How big of a difference do amps make? Hi Liz,Maybe you had a bad encounter with a tube power amp I don`t know. I can tell in 20 plus years of using various tube amps they are simple and trouble free.We all accept that the best amp choice depends on your speakers.Liz, in my experience ... | |
| Donald Byrd I like Byrd`s playing a lot, but from his generation I like Freddie Hubbard and Lee Morgan more. I find their improvising more interesting and creative.Hey, they all can play.Pepper Adams is a first rate player, one of my favorites.Jazz Giants, Ch... | |
| Time of listening session? Rok2id,I`m hooked on the early Gunsmoke series,late 1950s-mid 1960s(black and white era). The characters,writing and story lines are top notch,good call.Old stuff but compelling.Regards, | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Oeaohoo,Interesting observations, but different conclusion from volleyguy. In volleyguy`s experience it seems he heard'more' body,tone and subtle detail and improved resolution. Superior resonance supression in a capacitor is a good thing that sho... | |
| Fremer lays an Ostrich egg... Frenchfries,When you post on an open forum you must know you`ll be subject to all manner of responses. Some replies have been sympathetic toward you and others not.Were you expecting more solidarity and understanding? No one here seems to be worsh... | |
| Fremer lays an Ostrich egg... "Worse are reviewers who don`t compare products"Amen. | |
| CAT SL1 vs Modwright LS 36.5 Bombaywalla,I certainly appreciate your input.We all can agree that subjectivity rules when discussing audio components and what we hear individually.Your impression of the CAT compared to the VAC is the polar opposite to my experience, but that`s... | |
| Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3? Morganc,Thanks for your reply.The Coincident model I have is really fine. Simple 1st order crossover and only 1 capacitor per speaker(no resistors at all). The Zu DEF,Horning and Ocellia(PHY drivers) are efficient-easy load speakers that seem spec... |
