| Does 'Accuracy' Matter or exist ? Unsound and Shadorne, Could you two give us examples of the accurate components you`re referring to,much appreciated.Thanks, | |
| Does 'Accuracy' Matter or exist ? Unsound,No one here is disregarding accuracy, but merely pointing out the obvious truth that no standard has been(can be?) establish. People often site warm/musical,rich etc. as looking thru "rose colored lens" while ignoring the other spectrum of... | |
| Is this the END of DAYS for the high end CD player I don`t believe CDs are going anywhere for a VERY long time. An abundance of available CD disc that`s affordable(Amazon). Red book playback is amazingly good in a high quality setup IMO. | |
| Does 'Accuracy' Matter or exist ? 2nd amen, tubegroover, it just can`t be said any better. | |
| Does 'Accuracy' Matter or exist ? Jax2,Thanks for the compliment.Your example of SET amps is right. After owning various SS and PP Tube amps, I settled down with an SET amplifier simply because it sounds closer to the live jazz acoustic music I adore. I don`t doubt that it would m... | |
| Do all CD players benefit from burn in? Considering all the wire,capacitors,resistors, transitors,tubes,transformers(more wire yet again!)etc. It`s only logical that all of these components need time to form and become seasoned. At lease in my experiences every component has improved wi... | |
| Does 'Accuracy' Matter or exist ? Shadorne,There`s no absolute standard to judge accuracy in home audio systems/components for the very reasons mentioned in 57s4me`s fine post. Far too many variables and manipulations are involved in the sound reproduction chain to declare anythin... | |
| Ocellia speakers and power Paul,Have you specifically heard the Tonian Lab Classic 12.1(PHY-HP 12 driver)? This is the model that intrigues me. It would seem ideal for 8 watt 300b SET amps. | |
| Ocellia speakers and power Glide3, what type of crossover(1st order?) does your tonian use and what frequency does the ribbon take over? These speakers can only be auditioned in CA. it seems. | |
| Your best ''outstanding'' products in last 5 yrs? The Coincident Statement linestage and Frankenstein MarkII 300b monoblocks.These two components are brilliant reproducers of natural sound and music`s beauty. They are absolute values given their performance/price ratio. | |
| Ocellia speakers and power Mechans,I understand your waxing poetic, the PHY-HP 12 inch driver really seems like a quite special unit. I hope to hear some version of it (Tonian Lab perhaps) at the RMAF this year. I also read that 6 Moons PHY article, fascinating story. It wa... | |
| Digital Cable Question Craig,In theory they shound be different but the reality maybe some thing else. Some brands, ASI Liveline and Kondo-Japan for example use the same analog cable for digital with great results. I happened to use the Liveline and it`s just a remarkab... | |
| Shindo Cortese - First Impressions Alberto,You come across as someone who is mature,happy and self assured. Your reponse to David displays patience and wisdom.The whole point of this pastime/hobby is to enjoy the gift of music and indulge as much as one reasonably can. The Shindo C... | |
| Any expereince with Coincident Frankenstein II Amp Hello Paul,To my understanding the Wyetech Topaz(211 tube) is considered one of the true great SET amplifiers. I`ve never heard it but have no reason to question it`s highly regarded status. The Frankenstein I know well(owned almost 2 years) and i... | |
| Some impression on Zu Omen Definition Gte357s,Are the Zu speakers broken in?Either you just need to experiment and fine tune speaker setup or you may simply prefer the sound of your B&W with your present components.3 way speakers can be very coherent with proper implementation.My ... |
