| Tubes Do It -- Transistors Don't. Unsound, this child wasn't foolish,only naiv, like a music lover amongst audiophiles and ASA, Buddha on the road to Damascus????--he must have been walking in his sleep---6chac, how are you going to have the trolls? Broiled or steamed? Cheers, | |
| An unscientific poll: How often are you happy? Greg, its "only" the 500, not the 800 alas, mais quand meme. Nice to have you here and on the other tube thread too! Cheers, | |
| Tubes Do It -- Transistors Don't. The fool in the last card of the Tarot, 6chac,is another image for this. Got nothing to do with God or mysticism, Zaike, it is just one who does not let science devour nature empireously always and all the time, to paraphrase Unsound...hence he's ... | |
| An unscientific poll: How often are you happy? Rcprince I would!! You will find an increase in dynamics as well as in soundstage and placement of instruments, which you have to experience to believe. Tube rolling of course is a pain on the pocketbook and yes it is the same series you have and ... | |
| An unscientific poll: How often are you happy? Rcprince, Zaikesman nice as always to be on a thread with you. Yes, all Jadis Preamps cheat beautifully in the midrange and what Rcprince found with the Lamm, I experienced with the Aesthetix IO, which is far more revealing, has better soundstage ... | |
| Tubes Do It -- Transistors Don't. Pity I cannot meet you all in person. We'd have great discussions over much beer until we were so out of our brains, that in listening to 6chac's beautyfull ML -20 from Mark the Man, we suddenly would find, that ASA has been right all along! Cheer... | |
| Tubes Do It -- Transistors Don't. Jetter, you can also pilosophise with beer, sometimes even better and deeper. There is no contradiction there. 6chac, congratulations on your system. Which CD's do you refer to, which can really do this? Very curious... Cheers, | |
| Tubes Do It -- Transistors Don't. Aaaaahhh, ASA, it also felt good to read your fine analysis. I love my Spectral system, especially when I am after the intricacies of a given composition, letting my mind follow the musical weavings the composer wrought, analysing and marvelling a... | |
| An unscientific poll: How often are you happy? Happy for the moment, defenitely, YES! Let's see how long it lasts! | |
| Tubes Do It -- Transistors Don't. Zaikesman, you pose a very good question, which I have often pondered for myself, however am quite unable to answer in any satisfactory fashion. I go to live music events quite often. Zurich is musically lively city. Perhaps it is the ambient nois... | |
| Tubes Do It -- Transistors Don't. Bob, I spoke of tubes distorting, not necessarily of a vinyl-tube playback event, but then, come to think of it, I DO think and experience almost daily, that with the right TT, arm and cartridge, and with an LP properly treated, you will more ofte... | |
| Good Article CD vs. SACD vs. DVD-A Here's what my ears tell me: SACD beats normal redbook CD easily in the midrange and in the lower registers, but there is seriously something wrong with the top end. I't somehow dead, lifeless and something, hard to define unpleasant, unnatural in... | |
| Box speakers that sound like Electrostats? Well, I haven't found any so far. The Acapella Exalibur comes close, but that is horn loaded and plasma driven. I completely agree with Duke. I would also jump at a "box" speaker, the microdynamics of which would equal an ESL, but have not been su... | |
| Tubes Do It -- Transistors Don't. Bob, if it were distortion, why do we think that it is sometimes so close to live music? It would seem then, would it not, that either live music is, or our ears are distorted and then if indeed it is distorted, as the measurement crowd loves to p... | |
| Does the quality of the spades matter Well, of course copper spades will have to be periodically cleaned and the connections retightened, that goes without saying and I doubt that a really gas tight junction can be made down to a molecular level and yes, metal migration is indeed a pr... |
