| Should the best systems sound almost identical? You would never get any agreement on what "best" is. There are`nt any all knowing sound gurus who could judge and determine whtat`s right for evevryone.The beauty of this hobby is is the subjectivity and thus it comes down to each person`s ears an... | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? Tbg,I understand your point and don`t for a moment doubt that in your current system the analog bests the digital. But on the other hand I`ve read numerous posts where someone states their digital front end (APL NWO 4.0M owners for just one exampl... | |
| A bit overwhelmed, need preamp advice David,In your price range I`ve read many rave comments on the Doge8 tube preamp. | |
| Zu Omen Defs and Ice Amps? jplaurel,Yes, another of many examples that illustrate the mandatory proper matching of amplifier and speaker. A well made SET amp can sound disarmingly natural and "real" sounding with the correct speaker. With an inappropriate speaker these amps... | |
| Is preamp remote volume a deal breaker for you? A remote control is a nice convenience no doubt.The maker of my linestage believes that to reach the very highest level of sound quality you should avoid them(I don`t really know). To his credit this unit`s sound is stunning and oh so pure. I`m ge... | |
| Amy Winehouse.RIP Orpheus,My freind sorry to say, your`re way off on this one.Trebejo,Amy is responsible for her tragic life and sad outcome. Blaming society,drug companies and the medical profession won`t change the facts.Millions of people have far less resources... | |
| Amy Winehouse.RIP Reckless lifestyle and terrible choices led to this predictable outcome, it is genuinely sad, do people ever learn? | |
| Power Cord for Power Conditioner Rwwear,I except the fact that you don`t hear differences among power cords regardless of their cost or construction, fair enough. But your attempts to tell others what they`ve heard based on their varied and personal experiences is absurd.You have... | |
| W4S DAC2 vs Benchmark DAC1 my observation Oops, meant buy not "by". Wish this site allowed for editing. | |
| W4S DAC2 vs Benchmark DAC1 my observation "I can`t handle the truth"Cymbop I don`t by that, your ears told you the truth.I don`t except this notion that lean, crisp,bright sound with tight and very dampened bass is accurate. Unamplified music does`nt sound that way( but I understand peopl... | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? Objex,Excellent observation. Currently both mediums when implemented to a high standard can sound superb. Both also have the capacity to sound less than grand. I`ve come to the conclusion one is`nt instrinsically superior to the other. I recognize... | |
| Am I in the minority? Computer front ends can be very nice when setup properly, however a high quaility CD Red book system can sound fabulous. There`s nothing "so yesterday" when it comes to good sound, simply choice. | |
| Is the most efficient speaker the best speaker? David12,Very well expressed post, I imagine your system sounds very natural and emotionally involving. Enjoy! | |
| Pass Labs amps and Avantgarde speakers Mohano,Your choice does`nt surprise me, a well bullt-high quality 300b SET with those speakers should sound wonderful! Congratulations. | |
| Shindo pre + buget amp or Leben amp + budget pre Given your two stated choices(both good) I`d go with the Shindo. There`s more ultimate potential to build from IMO. |
