| Which is your fav Beethoven String Qt version? Amadeus,I've heard the Aban Berg live several times through the years and have their Lps and CDs. Neither live nor in my system they sound the way you describe. I must be system dependent. I like them for their prefectionist ensemble playing. I ad... | |
| Where are you today? Mechanical, gramophone cranked up with handle running more or less at 78 rpm, much later tubes, then SS, then tubes plus SS for the bottom end, then tubes, tubes, tubes, also for the bottom end for much better blending in with the rest, finally OT... | |
| What is the ideal High Freq extension? Nil, I borrowed a hand held spectral analyser with a microphone built in its "nose" cum pink noise generator in a wall wart type of thing. Can't remember the name of it, but it was US-made, if I recall right, had a lot of LEDs in its display. A ni... | |
| What is the ideal High Freq extension? I agree completely with Mrtennis here and in experimenting through the years, especially with Quads, but also with other ELS, the only really satisfactory (to my ears of course) top end was found with the tweeter panels of the long defunct Servo S... | |
| How does one get off the merry-go-round? Dear Greg,Proposition wholeheartedly accepted. I've lived in both states and know the truth which lies in your statement. | |
| How does one get off the merry-go-round? Well spoken Chashmal!Wonderful!Cheers, | |
| Power Trip Airshop,keep on writing long posts when ever you feel like doing so! Your command of language is excellent and your post was a joy to read with all its inherent drama, quite apart from the fact that it certainly made sense. Just in M(not)HO...(; | |
| Tubes? I'd stick to Albert's advice. It is sound, I think. Give us a list of what you have, wait for responses and go on from there. | |
| earth ground disconnected or not ? Grisslehamn, You know I never thought about that, besides I wouldn't do that. If too low, the fuses blow, if too high, the units blows. What I have done, is to substitute the stock fuses for those expensive German "gold"-fuses and, sadly, perhaps ... | |
| First used turntable +- $20,000. Any suggestions? Piedpiper,the phrase is actually "the devil is in the details", meaning an effort can go terribly wrong if one of its details is not right. Vide: A rig will only sound as good as its weakest part. That's were the adversary sits.By the way, another... | |
| First used turntable +- $20,000. Any suggestions? Raul,Music per se is not "analytical". It has bloom, a natural aura of sound emanating from the instrument, the sound of which you can hear clearly with and around the original tone being played. The sound of live music is very complex, add do tha... | |
| Bybee Speaker Bullets? Thanks Larry,Obviously we share similar aural pleasures, thanks also for giving me the impetus to think over where I stand between the so called dichotomy of the "rational" and the "irrational" and of course also thanks for having had the patience... | |
| earth ground disconnected or not ? There is no cut and dried answer to this, besides it can be dangerous. So you must know what you are doing. All cases can be different for best sound. Generally it is wise to have your preamp grounded and let ground run to the rest of your gear th... | |
| Bybee Speaker Bullets? Larry, I agree with you all the way you know and I am just as wary of being sold snake oil like any other sensible person, which I hope that I am. In fact I am the first to doubt my own hearing, because in younger years I was with a group of colle... | |
| Bybee Speaker Bullets? Here are a couple of reviews and thoughts about what and why the Bybees do what they do. I don't know if these guys were influenced or bought in some way, however what they described I thought I heard well before I read their thoughts and I wasn't... |
