| speakers for classical music 06-09-08: Atmasphere said:"...I find that if you need a transistor amplifier to get the sufficient power to drive a speaker to lifelike levels, it will never sound like real music; at best only like a good stereo (Ho hum). So its tubes all the way... | |
| In your opinion, what is Hi, Medium and Low end? 06-09-08: Gogirl asked:"...My question is does a music lover also need a trained ear to hear differences or when it comes to high end is it obvious? "If you really don't sit down and listen to your dad's system a lot, then it's not surprising that... | |
| What Solid State PreAmp? Missioncoonery, yes I agree, but think about tube rolling a little bit. I've got a little single-ended, Class A headphone amp by Woo Audio. It's wonderful, BUT I can change it dramatically by simply changing the recifier tube, replacing my $10 Rus... | |
| speakers for classical music 06-09-08: Chadeffect said:"Box speakers are always going to give you problems though, and IMHO a bad place to start if listening to classical music only."Lot's of us disagree with your opinion here. Later you mention B&W 801 and 802s somewhat ... | |
| Review: Playback Designs MPS-5 CD Player Ok, so no Korg DSD to MPS DSD, at least for now.For long-term archiving I plan to convert the Korg files to 24/196 and put them out on a server. I'm hoping to ultimately have a remote server linked to a TB harddrive, with files in 16/44.1 to 24/19... | |
| Change to Horns or stay Dynamic Thanks Manga. So, is the Summa a modified Ai???Ai is from Asia and Summa is in the US, I think. That guy really needs to bring his site into focus. Like so many brilliant people he has trouble presenting what he's all about.Will he be at RMAF this... | |
| speakers for classical music Integrating the subs is a big problem, IME; however, I concede that someone might be able to make it work.Dave | |
| Review: Playback Designs MPS-5 CD Player Querceto Classico Reserva 2003The best Chianti I've ever had and it's only about $25 per bottle. There MAY be a bottle or two left in October...Dave | |
| Change to Horns or stay Dynamic All I can find about Geddes' Summa is talk and theory, but no real reviews. Their web site absolutely sucks. Anyone got a picture of one of these???Dave | |
| Review: Playback Designs MPS-5 CD Player Guido, if you want to wait that long, then you'll be able to listen to mine at RMAF. We could probably run it through a Capri/312/Mahler combination with Soundings' help so that you can hear it in a somewhat more familiar setting. It'll probably n... | |
| Balanced Integrated Amp Connection It's Jonathan T (Tinn). You might get him today. Tell him Dave Stephens sent you. ;-)Dave | |
| speakers for classical music Thanks for commenting about the Quads' limitations from an owners perspective. If you listen to chamber music and stay away from percussion, 20th century music, Mahler, Holtz, Stravinski, etc., then you'll be ok, and enthralled with the incredible... | |
| Balanced Integrated Amp Connection No, $10,000 for now. I wouldn't be surprised if they'd loan one to another reviewer, as they did Robinson.Dave | |
| Balanced Integrated Amp Connection Chambers AudioThese are early-production from a couple of guys that left EMM. One of the principals of Chambers is also a principal in Playback Designs. The $5,000 introductory discount was a powerful incentive to stick my neck out, along with Mik... |
