| Okay, the gloves are off. Let the fur fly I also share Albert's point of view, in having heard many multi cone driver systems, which I enjoyed immensely. But it was for pure musical reasons that basically I've always reverted back to single driver systems for listening at home and then ra... | |
| MIT cables for Spectral amps ? Brulee and Bob Bundus are right . You will bring out the most of your Spectral gear in speed, transparency, pristine highs und tight bottom ends (sigh) with the MIT stuff, which otherwise has to be used with caution. Not so, I find, with the DMA 2... | |
| what does "Air or a Halo around instruments" mean? Well, I suppose it is a function of hearing acuity, perhaps also a question of having absolute pitch or not. I don't know. I listened to a lonely flute player in a Zurich park yesterday and the way his tones formed and carried had plenty of air. A... | |
| Are You Happy? Sean is right, I think. Though I also find about 80% of my CD collection "unlistenable", "dry", "lifeless" or "dead", especially big orchestral music, upsampling has helped considerably and has brought some of that elusive quality called musicalit... | |
| Low Frequency Rumble Question Both Joe and Rcprince are right on the dot! You can even discern very nicely which way "the tube" is going!Cheers, | |
| Is it OK to leave a tube preamp on all the time? I must say, that I find M's waiting stand a bit exaggerated, but find RC's and Sean's advice sound. RCprince, you lucky So and So, where did you manage do lay hands on ECC803 teles???!!! Cheers, | |
| Spectral DMA 200....Who Knows this amp? Colm, I find Shubermaniac's description pretty acurate and he's right, you don't necessarily need the entire Spectral setup. Accuracy, as S. says, is the word here.The original list in the US was about $6500 and I've seen them offered here at A. f... | |
| Spectral DMA 200....Who Knows this amp? Colm, the DMA 200 was by no means an export model, but was manufactured in Sunnyvale in the late 80ties, also for the US marketof course. If I'm correct, it was the first truly wide bandwidth amp on the market. I still have two of them (those ARE ... | |
| what does "Air or a Halo around instruments" mean? Tubegroover, I quite agree with your point, but found it difficult to differentiate the halo-effect from what is described as natural decay, since the halo will decay together with the tone per se. In a live offering, easily to hear with chamber m... | |
| what does "Air or a Halo around instruments" mean? Abstract7 is right to my mind. If you listen for example to a solo violin or a solo piano very carefully, you will notice, how the tone appears and spreads in the soundspace with its overtones forming a cluster around its tonal core, if you like. ... | |
| Best way to enlarge spindle hole in vinyl records Again: for heaven's sake be careful, if you MUST play the enlarging game, which inspite of what has been said above, I would refrain from. If you get the hole too large and you do not have a nice fiting contact between spindle and the LP you will ... | |
| Best way to enlarge spindle hole in vinyl records Blackie is right. The tighter the fit, the better it is.(Honi soit qui mal y pense) | |

| Mark Levinson Owners - Camac Connector Info Jon p the purpose of connecters is, well, to connect. (-;Seriously now, single ended ML gear does not use ordinary rca plugs and receptacles, but Camac or Fischer connectors, which are widely used in medical and hospital appliences. | |
| Live or Recorded; A Faustian response I don't believe in music. As far as my experience goes, you might call music a catalyst, which sometimes gives a clearer view into the " Lichtung des Seins", to quote H., a view into where I am at the moment. It is indeed an open question whether ... |
