| Musicality" in a system? What IS that ? I want to thank you all for your fascinating inputs and I wish you good and restful days, hopefully with a "musical" system. I originally thought, I would collect all your posts, take the central idea from each of them and in reporting about it, t... | |
| Musicality" in a system? What IS that ? Gregm, this is a great idea. I'll have a bit of time over Easter and will try to get a synopsis of the above opinions and post it here. Regards, | |
| Cable "burning": Real or VooDoo ??? Sound jugement Bruce, in my opinion. | |
| XLR vs. RCA Hello Frap, thank you for your kind words, as well as for you important input! If I am not mistaken, next to the Studer, you had the same problem with the early Spectral 200 class a, as well as some other high end amps, which offered XLR inputs fo... | |
| Musicality" in a system? What IS that ? Yes Gregm, I will do as you suggest. But I still need a little time. Just let me tell you now, that there is much food for thought for me in all of the above posts and that I am also deeply moved by them. Next to enjoying and sometimes enviously m... | |
| Musicality" in a system? What IS that ? Thankyou for your kind words, 3728slingshot, I heartily agree with you, that without an imprint, often refreshed, of the live event in our mind, heart and soul, we cannot really discern a system's "musicality" . However, also live musical events a... | |
| Musicality" in a system? What IS that ? Gregm, thanks for responding. I feel you make sense in wishing to exclude subjective and situational factors as regards this question. Although they do, I believe, play a role, we will not get anywhere if we just concentrate on those. So I think y... | |
| does linking two cables degrade sound? In my HO Plato is right. Avoid switching boxes! To try coupling the way you suggest, to my experience, may not even have a noticeable effect on the sound. You'll have to experiment and listen. Connectors should however be of MORE than decent quali... | |
| XLR vs. RCA sorry typo: better not fetter about the fit XLR plugs have. | |
| XLR vs. RCA TCiborow, the posts above are dead on. One thing strikes me though: Do you speak of running balanced or just using XLR connectors on your cables, which are used in a single ended fashon. If that would be the case, you would of course not have the ... | |
| Why Don't More People Love Audio? Wehamilton, I was (self)diagnosed, but that did not help either. My system is more or less right now, but my ears are failing. So there you are...but I am still at it of course, thinking of tweaking hearing aids and how to find the sweat spot in m... | |
| To Sub or not to Sub...? Aaron,c'mon, why did you let the cat out of the bag so soon. I was hoping for some more fun. Mind you, if you set phase, crossover point and slope right and place the subs where they upset the least nodes, you will find that you can hear every sin... | |
| Cable "burning": Real or VooDoo ??? Isn't this beginning to get really silly? RHUBARB to all. Lets do as Albert says, lets "shut up and dance", exchange and share with each other for the advancement of music in the home and its enjoyment. | |
| To Sub or not to Sub...? Aaron, don't do this to you. They are such a bitch to set up right, but if you like rumbling "tubes" on Mozart, so be it. You have my blessing. | |
