| Opinions needed; which is a better choice and why? Interesting discussion folks... Thanks. I certainly do not think there is a "best" is any part of audio. Everything is a compromise of some sort. I have listened to some integrated stuff lately that has knocked me out. The last being an Audiomat A... | |
| What would you do about a sleazy buyer?? Geeze, I read your post and cringed. What does he/she being a "lawyer" have to do with it? Was he short or tall, or a Catholic or Jew, or white or black or a tube or SS guy? A jerk is a jerk. They come in all professions and flavors. Maybe I am se... | |
| 7500 for USED cables? Are they joking? Ya Detlof, but you have to understand that in those European Mts. it's harder for them lectrons to get around due to the Alp's magnetic influence. . I hear it's well worth it overthere, specially when them amps are trying to push all those strange... | |
| Audiogon Ethics Kjg: Well, I are an attorney and in my state fraud requires an intent to mislead. If you do know about a flaw you cannot be charged w/ intentionally misleadin someone about it. In some instances, if there were representations that all was well wit... | |
| Audiogon Ethics Ljgj is right about tubes but that is not limited to Audiogon. Lots of relabeling going on. Check carefully unless you buy from an established supplier. | |
| What is stopping the ultimate? Daniel: "I would say the audio press elite are the biggest anchor to advancement." Amen Brother. Hype and gloss and big buck wannabe materialism instead of audio. Especially, as you point out, in tubes. All of the basic circuit topologies are how ... | |
| What is "Clipping"? Clipping is a kind of distortion (maybe the most important kind) that is created when your amp does not have enough power to reproduce the wave form it is given. You have seen a typical sine wave that rolls along like a wave. If the amp does not h... | |
| "PUZZ JAZZLE" Marakenetz. Go to allmusic.com and search for the title under songs. There are quite a few listed under that title. Narrow it down and then go to Border's or somewhere you can listen to samples of the tune and confirm the artist. I remain, | |
| Need help from Guru's Walther, Please tell us a little more about when it sounds sterile and lifeless and when it sounds gorgeous and what exactly do you mean by those words. Any patterns with regard to HT vs. music use, type of music played, time of day, ect. Certainl... | |
| 7500 for USED cables? Are they joking? Thanks Mark for the post and everyone else for the civility on this topic.Lmb: "one of the assumptions is that the free electrons available for conducting electric signals tend to be polarized in a "broken in" cable." I am not certain what you mea... | |
| Do you approve of "How Stereophile Market itself"? Rayhall, your post is "A" rated. SP would do well to look back to when J. Gordon Holt brought purpose, a rather zany humor, and a lot less gloss (B&W covers) and stroking to the effort. Anybody catch this month's AudioXpress? Sincerely, I remain | |
| Do you approve of "How Stereophile Market itself"? 3chihuahuas (love your handle), Just what I would expect. You certainly show good taste in canceling your subscription to that pretentious rag. It's done more to replace audio innovation with marketing hype than any other source. Don't you worry a... | |
| One woofer or a pair? Another freckin frequency fact question?Marakanetz, how's the poetry coming? I can think of two simple reasons: 1) you can use them as matching end tables and 2) you like your system to sound like your kid's car stereo. Just joking bass fans. I ad... | |
| Bass Quality in the North Creek Rhythm/Revelator Karl: This is really tough because, in my opinion, all speakers color sound and is a sonic compromise of some sort. I like to make speakers and model mine on NC. No speaker has "realism" if you ask me. I've never mistaken a live piano or percussiv... | |
| 7500 for USED cables? Are they joking? One of my favorite folks in audio is Lynn Olson, I quote"The deepest challenge of designing high fidelity equipment is... reconciling the interior experience of listening with the technical world of measurements. If you can't reconcile the two, or... |
