| what system musicians prefer? Do they care? Ok, as a professional musician, recording artist and college music professor (jazz saxophone and I’m also a symphony clarinetist) I’ll chime in. My system is always evolving but atm it consists of:Harbeth C7es3’s Croft Phono IntegratedLumin T2Tech... | |
| EXTRA! EXTRA!! Millercarbon Proven Wrong!!! Read all about it! EXTRA! EXTRA!! $10k power cord feeding a $2200 integrated, or am I wrong? What a ridiculous use of those funds. Enjoy! | |
| HELP!! Problem running REL sub with Croft Phono Integrated Thanks that worked and since I have the red speaker wires into the black terminals I put the sub on 180 and it seems good but I need to listen later. I just don’t understand why... | |
| Class D for a Tube Lover Also I would avoid the Rogue Sphinx in any version, my experience echoes the poster who experienced audible hiss - very mediocre sounding amp, the Clones Audio 25irh I had at the time blew it away. | |
| Class D for a Tube Lover I haven’t seen any recs for Primare integrateds- their latest proprietary class D integrateds sound great to me, much closer to at least a great class A/B integrated than any other class D I’ve heard. If you want rolled off/veiled just get one of ... | |
| 3D lifelike sound and impeccable measurements - mutually exclusive??? Never thought this thread would get so deep and philosophical- interesting stuff and I appreciate everyone’s contributions. | |
| 3D lifelike sound and impeccable measurements - mutually exclusive??? Koestnerive been very curious to hear the Benchmark amp and preamp as they seem to be the poster children for great measurements- I’ve read mixed things on the sound/presentation . Mostly very positive especially the preamp but some I guess percei... | |
| 3D lifelike sound and impeccable measurements - mutually exclusive??? Geof3 I’ll be really interested to hear your findings, are you going to post them? | |
| 3D lifelike sound and impeccable measurements - mutually exclusive??? Well I’ll give an example of gear that measures very well and sounds organic, musical and 3D to my ears on the DAC side. The chord DACs I’ve heard have a very analog lifelike quality to them (have heard the qutest and Dave) and measure extremely w... | |
| 3D lifelike sound and impeccable measurements - mutually exclusive??? Jjss49 yup I have checked his reviews out. Interesting but he’s so skewed to the measurements side you never know how it will actually sound. Ah yes Rereading your post I think you’re right that is not a bad way to go to use it as a cross list alo... | |
| 3D lifelike sound and impeccable measurements - mutually exclusive??? Charles1dadyes, i appreciate the sentiment and it’s pretty much what I’ve always followed is just my ears not worrying at all about measurements hence why i run Harbeths with a hybrid notorious for measuring poorly and sounding great. But you know... | |
| 3D lifelike sound and impeccable measurements - mutually exclusive??? I will say that I’ve only heard one setup so far that would probably satisfy both sides of this equation- it was a pair of higher end magicos with an all Moon front end. Pretty much had everything sonically. Other than that I’ve heard a lot of com... | |
| 3D lifelike sound and impeccable measurements - mutually exclusive??? Really only one or two people have answered my question and made suggestions of brands that they believe both measure very well AND offer an immersive musical experience in their opinion. That’s really all I’m looking for. How hard is that? | |
| 3D lifelike sound and impeccable measurements - mutually exclusive??? Millercarbonessentially you answered my question in your own way. Yes it’s a “can you have both” question - great measurements and organic involving sound or are they really mutually exclusive. By your answer you are saying that you believe they a... | |
| 3D lifelike sound and impeccable measurements - mutually exclusive??? I’m currently running an integrated (croft Phono Integrated with Harbeth) that’s firmly in the colorful and measurements be damned camp and combo sounds fantastic esp for the price but I’m interested in moving to the other camp If I can find an in... |
