| SRA Silent Running Audio vs Critical Mass System Rhythmace, true, true...it all gets more "quiet" doesn't it and lets the music get through much less impeded by tiny artifacts, foreign to music per se. | |
| Cables that cost more than good loudspeakers Foster, sadly enough, those cables do make a difference and even more sadly enough of a difference best heard on speakers which easily might cost more than 15 times as much as those you speak of. But if you're clever and willing to learn from thes... | |
| Capturing the MUSIC; a furtive cause? What R We... Greg old friend, in picking up your thread after its hiatus of almost exactly three years, I'm beginning to wonder why it drew so little response in spite of the fact of its essential importance to us music lovers, celebrating our passion both in ... | |
| how long should you use tubes in an amp? Newbee is right as usual. Tube life quite generally depends on the quality of the tube and the design parameters of the component the tube is used in. The trick with a spare set of new tubes to test the ones you are using is foolproof and reliable... | |
| Fiber Optic vs Digital Coax 2pt. question As far as my listening experience is concerned- and that goes back far beyond the beginning of digital - you are perfectly right on both accounts. I threw the F/O cables away in the eighties of last century and any experiment with that breed under... | |
| Long runs - USB or RCA??? I agree with Gmood1, here size does not really matter....and Ultrafitimes, how did you come to your findings? Long ICs are certainly OK, but cost a lot more then even a good long USB cable. I tried both, but could not really hear much of a differe... | |
| Long runs - USB or RCA??? I've had excellent results with Monster Cable's USB cables, using a four meter run between my laptop and my USB dac on a very resolving high end system.Cheers, | |
| spikes , cones or platforms? Excellent idea, thanks Stewie! | |
| Difference between today and yesterday. MrT, forgive me, but we know that and you've repeatedly told the same thing ad ( my personal ) nauseam. The natural sciences, contrary to what many people think, do not reign supreme in all fields of human experience. Empiricism can be a valid sou... | |
| Difference between today and yesterday. MrTennis-We did exactly what you propose many years ago: We recorded a flautist, a lute player a soprano and even a string quartet in one of our friends music room, recorded it on tape with a big professional Revox in stereo of course and then pla... | |
| Difference between today and yesterday. Well Rodman, I did exactly as you suggest, I don't know how many times and any comparison done made me, often reluctantly, knowing of their drawbacks, go back to my good old Quads. This had nothing to do with nostalgia, rather with intimate acquai... | |
| Difference between today and yesterday. Well Rodman, I do and that is why I stuck with my Quad 57 and later the 63s for such a long time and when I was younger and wilder, to get a bit more SPL I stacked and even quadrupled the 63s and combined them with Maggie Bass panels. It was a wei... | |
| Difference between today and yesterday. LOL: Well spoken Eldartford!Especially those ss powered ones. Much better highs....... | |
| Why I sell I've personally only sold gear when:a. I needed moneyb. didn't like the sound of itc. liked the sound, but broke down too oftenLuckily I was never asked why I wanted to sell, neiter do I ask this question, should I buy. I would neither expect to g... | |
| Difference between today and yesterday. Mrtennis, we seem to share this preference for planar speakers, especially for stators and I would add the Quad 63 and the good old Beveridges to your list. I've owned most of the gear you've mentioned and to this day I (at least imagine to) hear ... |
