New Bowie album
RRRRRReaugh!!! 
Aging and Treble and Income?
They were pretty good, weren't they. 
Aging and Treble and Income?
I don't care how good or bad the recording is. To me the fun of it all is to reproduce the recording as faithfully as possible. One of my favorite test cd's is the Monkees greatest hits. Very compressed so also very taxing on the gear. I wonder ho...

But that's just it, Mapman, it is your gear that is responsible for mimicking the original recorded event. How well it achieves it is tantamount to reaching the goal of a realistic facsimile. It's only after you've reached that goal that you can a...

Since when has HI-FI been an attempt to emulate P.A. or live unamplified sound? HI-FI is simply an attempt to fool you into thinking you're 'hearing' something live.

It really is about distortion. And that coming from the amp imo. Lively or not, it sounds good when it's clean. It's interesting how topics come full circle to affirm conclusions arrived at on other threads. However, mine are still debatable. 
450 Pound Monobloc Amplifier
You could probably dry your hair with the Boulder but you'd have to crank it up for a while first:)

Caveat to my last post; when a speaker begins to warp it! 
Etiquite Regarding Response Times to Offers
At least Hoffmanization hasn't crept in yet:) SHHHHH

Well, maybe surprised. I've never seen a response curve rise at the top end. But there's a point to be made of what spl a speaker actually begins to flatten out it's response to published spec. 
Aging and Treble and Income?
Sure, but I'm referring to that being produced by the amp. Or should I say, emphasized by it? 
Aging and Treble and Income?
Sorry, didn't mean to highjack the thread. It's just that as Mapman confirmed and David12 referenced, distortion can skew an otherwise well laid out/engineered listening space whether it's deliberate or not. I really don't think a quality speaker ...

This chart tells me I'm not hearing sibilance in the vocal range. I'm confused. Does TIM not cause sibilance at any frequency? I'm associating sibilance with clarity. Is that wrong? 
Got Ears?
With me the old days are still the same. It was'nt and isn't nearly as much about detail as it is about the quality of what is being presented. However, it seems the higher the quality/realism, the more detail there is as well. They seem to go han...

Just rebuild it with current and better parts. Rewire it while your at it.
