| Anything as " fast" as SPECTRAL gear? I would have to agree. However no conditioning here except for dedicated lines. But not sure how noise floor plays into this. I have no poor examples to compare but the ones with the lowest noise floor have seemingly infinite depth. | |
| Agree or disagree with the following statement. I didn't mean to identify the imbeciles, just define them. But take your pick if that satisfies you. | |
| Anything as " fast" as SPECTRAL gear? I get that Ralph. But even the alchemists were careful not to make the same mistake after an explosion. I don't know why I thought it was basically cut and dried. I don't have two amps that sound the same, even among identical examples. I guess I ... | |
| Agree or disagree with the following statement. My hobby revived when I bought my first laptop. Up until then I had only the system I bought in '78. Everything I have acquired since was over the net, and I have lots. There is nothing I'm not happy with...amps, pre amps, cdps, speakers, etc.. Al... | |
| Agree or disagree with the following statement. Only an imbecile would buy based solely on specs. Anyone here done that? | |
| Anything as " fast" as SPECTRAL gear? I am absolutely amazed to find this out Al. So it's more or less a matter of alchemy? Like an unguarded secret by someone successful in coming up with the right recipe but in the end not being able to put their finger on just what makes or breaks ... | |
| Anything as " fast" as SPECTRAL gear? But there's another question that hasn't come up and that's 'how much of an influence does a pre amp have in perceived speed'? | |
| Anything as " fast" as SPECTRAL gear? I agree and the opposite is also true ime. Those Meridian 105s will fool you into perceiving a faster than normal pace. | |
| Anything as " fast" as SPECTRAL gear? Thank you Al. I thought there is always going to be a direct causal effect of actual amp speed and subjective/sonic speed. That's very interesting. I understand the obvious descriptors of a really good amp but there's another effect/indicator of s... | |
| Anything as " fast" as SPECTRAL gear? Al, as you and Ralph are obviously the two most technically knowledgeable, I think it most appropriate for the two of you to also define/describe amplifier 'speed' from a subjective/sonic perspective. As yet, no one has given a description of what... | |
| Anything as " fast" as SPECTRAL gear? Okay, well thank you for showing me the error of my ways. From now on I'll try and do my best to not actually respond to your rants. Have you forgotten that I'm never wrong? Perhaps if you go back and read a past post or two you'll come finally to... | |
| Anything as " fast" as SPECTRAL gear? Zd, I do own a few amps. You clearly favor tubes so I responded commensurate with your bent. Not everyone considers your subjective view as reality btw. I'm perfectly happy with your answer. I just think it's bullshit, that's all. I expected as mu... | |
| Anything as " fast" as SPECTRAL gear? Zd, I would think the opposite is the case in fact. Deliberately not designing true to life character seems to be the gimmick among tube amp designers especially. Just because of the well known quirky expectations of their market base. From what I... | |
| Anything as " fast" as SPECTRAL gear? Can you give an example of an amp that is outstanding in this regard? | |
| Anything as " fast" as SPECTRAL gear? I think it would be useful to get a subjective description of just what the attributes of a 'fast' amp are sonically. What does speed sound like in an amp in comparison to mediocrity? Anyone? |
