| Atma-Sphere MA-1 Mk.3.1 Vs. Atma-Sph. MA-2 Mk.3.1 Donfibre, I`ve followed this post with interest as it addresses the common dilemma of how much power for a given speaker. I believe that Ecclectique has displayed generosity and much wisdom towards you. Given your speaker`s load characteristics hi... | |
| Are my ears just fooling me? Macd,I tend to agree with the posters who are suggesting tubes with either horns or hi effiency speakers with larger drivers. I know exactly what you mean by"that tone" and full 3D body and presence. I listen to live jazz in small venues fairly of... | |
| Real Music vs Audiophile Mumbo Jumbo Elizabeth and Hotmailjbc nailed it! I would`nt want any sound that remotely comes close to what the OP describes. Very loud amplified music via a PA system, ugh. I do believe that unamplified music in a good venue can be used as a template to voic... | |
| Blue Moon Award for Burson Audio's new DAC/Preamp Yes, I recall that speculation regarding the AK 4397 but S. Ebaen ultimately choose the Yamamoto to replace his then current APL HiFi as his new reference DAC. It seems Yamamoto`s passive/very simple I/V conversion approach is sonically effective.... | |
| Blue Moon Award for Burson Audio's new DAC/Preamp Well a favorable comparison to the Yamamoto YDA-01 DAC in terms of organic character, exceptionally good tone saturation and natural presentation is very high praise. I own the YDA-01 DAC and it`s truely fantastic. | |
| Mr. Moody Airegin,Very well said, James Moody was a wonderful jazz musician and I will miss him. He left us great music and for that I`m grateful. | |
| balanced vs. unbalanced sound quality Tmsorcsk, Yours is a generalization with many exceptions. I`ve heard many comparisons where single end was either as good or in some cases clearly better. As stated above system dependent always. | |
| Yamamoto A-08S and Audio Note ANe Audiofeil,Your comment regarding the correlation between price and performance in high end audio rings so true. To a certain(but limited) degree you do get what you pay for, however they`re many exceptions to this rule. It takes patience, good adv... | |
| Adding tubes to SS system-Tube Preamp Amp or Int? Mechans,Very well said. | |
| balanced vs. unbalanced sound quality This debate comes along often. It really depends on the components involved as there are numerous varibles. For short cable runs there`s no clear winner(very long runs favor balance cables).Some of the very best cost no object components are singl... | |
| Adding tubes to SS system-Tube Preamp Amp or Int? The question asked by the OP was which method would provide more of the tube sound/experience. In my experience the tube power amp will have the greater impact of imparting tube character given the critical mating with the choosen speakers. I`ve f... | |
| Yamamoto A-08S and Audio Note ANe meant to write willingly rather than willing | |
| Yamamoto A-08S and Audio Note ANe That post by Glory is stunning in the level of ignorance he so willing displays. The Yamamoto amplifiers are superbly built and sound great with the appropriate speaker. | |
| Favorite 300B: Sophia vs KR sakahara,The statement from the tube amp designer sure makes him seem misinformed and ignorant, Such strong opinions on tubes he has`nt heard and sweeping stereotypes regarding chinese products, so everything produced in china is bad? I hope his a... | |
| Tidal Speakers owners Tbg,Ihearyou, I don`t doubt Geopolitis`s sincerity for a moment, it`s just that many roads lead to Rome. |
