| The dangerous world of Reel-to-Reel Tape Some of the best sound I have heard came from a well restored Studer A820. There really is no other source besides tape that I have heard that can bring that level of realism. Problem is, and this is why I have not gone down the 'rabbit hole', the... | |
| Magico and Tube amp @knotscott +1. Any of the CAT amps will be good though the larger mono blocks are probably best. | |
| Magico and Tube amp Magico, which are known to be an amp buster speaker ( like so many these days! One has to ask, why are these designs so popular??) works very well with one tube amp that can handle their nasty impedance drop, and that is the CAT tube amps. These... | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report A couple of Vollenweider CD's. Maybe i have changed in my musical preferences, as I used to really like his stuff, but now I find it boring and repetitive. The recording quality is ok, but the music is just so very mundane. | |
| Do people tire of audio forums? What make me tire of forums is when a forum owner, or so called 'gort begins to believe that they need to intercede into everything and act in a superior manner. This happened on WBF and on Steve Hoffman. I cannot say I miss either of these forum... | |
| Budget Amp for Sonus Faber @asianatorizzle Your speakers are more than capable of delineating the differences between amps..and your other upstream gear. If you pair them with a marginal amp/preamp, or a marginal sounding integrated, they will sound like what your upstream... | |
| A blowing session???? @immatthewj Yes, technically the sax is in the woodwind family. Although this classification is simply because it uses a wood reed, but when was the last time anyone saw a wooden sax?? Almost all of the ones I know of are made of brass.Which is e... | |
| Budget Amp for Sonus Faber I am not sure I understand why anyone would spend the $$ for a speaker that is of the calibre of the SF G Traditions...and then want to hobble them with an amp and ancillary gear ( sitting on a table??) that simply does not do them any justice??? | |
| A blowing session???? @jafant Thanks for the suggestions. I have just about every OG Blue Note produced. So, i am familiar with these folks works. My OP was wondering more along the lines if the particular genre at the time...mostly Bop, was pretty much a ’blowing se... | |
| Suggestions for Giant Killer rca coax digital cable under $500 used Try a Audioquest Carbon. Fairly inexpensive and a great bang for the buck. Also, very well represented, so pretty easy to source. | |
| A blowing session???? @charles1dad I totally agree that each musician has their own interpretation and style. No question. Not really what I was getting at in my OP though. More along the lines of the overall impression that one gets with listening to the genre. So, i... | |
| Big speakers, are they really the best way to get great sound? 1st, no audio reproduction is perfect. I know my system is not perfect but my system is closest anyone can get in reproduction audio. @mihorn Your statement is a little presumptive, don’t you think? I heard your system at the last THE show; l... | |
| Big speakers, are they really the best way to get great sound? @mihorn You would not be hijacking my thread if your speakers are to be compared to much larger speakers. I do think videos on Youtube tells us next to nothing about the SQ of a system, although many folk seem to believe the opposite. | |
| Audio Research D-115 MkII OR pair of M-100s? OP, The question you ask is exactly what i looked into when I owned a D70Mk2. I was so impressed with this amp, that i was seriously interested in what the larger models would deliver. The M100's, and I think if in good shape ( which applies to ... | |
| Big speakers, are they really the best way to get great sound? I will compare to any audio system in the world. Please you show me any audio system’s live recording video sounds better than mine. Alex/Wavetouch audio Like phusis stated above, based on a video?? Even in a ’live room experience’, you cannot ... |
