| The first "audiophile"? Beautiful Slawney and epistemologically , well... sound!(-; | |
| What do you choose first SOUND or MUSIC? No Kelly, to me Marakanetz makes very good sense. As you know, one can voice ones system very differently, by playing around with the VTA. The higher the angle, the more snappier the stuff gets, until the point is reached, where it gets bleached a... | |
| What is your opinion regarding electrostatics? Sean, congrats for finding those RTRs. Those panels are excellent and I think, they should "work well enough", as you put it. In their heydays they easily held their own against those famed Decca ribbons, were certainly better than the Sequerra ri... | |
| What do you choose first SOUND or MUSIC? Many so called audiophile recordings are musically a pain in the a..hem... ears. Well recorded, but no musical content of lasting value IMO. All more noteable, the exceptions to this rule, of course ! An audiophile, who is a music lover, will by n... | |
| What is your opinion regarding electrostatics? Hi Fcrowder, your findings go parallel with my experimenting and I also found, that the Quads should be moved well into the room for a good compromise between holographic imaging and ambience retrieval. I have record shelves with LPs on my back wa... | |
| hifi audio store to visit in frankfurt, germany By the way, should you wish to purchase anything, do bargain by any means. No one pays the "normal" price here in Europe anymore, unless its a case of something rare, new or much sought after. Often you can get a discount of up to 20%. See to it a... | |
| What's the Least You Could Live With? Me, I could never do it for less again, I've been much too spoilt. So I'd try to keep a decent suit, shirt, tie and a pair of Italian shoes, next to my jeans-stuff, save on food, stop drinking wine and take in as much live music as I possibly coul... | |
| What is your opinion regarding electrostatics? Now Frap, that is truly fascinating! I did not know about Aikman nor do I read the the mag you mention. Thanks for putting me one to this. Just goes to show, if you experiment with an "open mind".......just another word for "fools paradise" (-; ..... | |
| How often do you listen to live music? Well not so silent on second thoughts, as to voice complete agreement with Frogman's words, that audiophiles who orient themselves entirely on the sound of systems, can have ears equally well trained and honed as avid concertgoers. But all the sam... | |
| What is your opinion regarding electrostatics? Audiokinesis, in your post of 09.05 you possibly gave me an explanation, why when listening to the Exalibur horn speakers I found them a tad too "polite", i.e. artificial, compared to my rig at home, which in its fairly uniform soundfield seemed t... | |
| Who R U? No you're far from dumb, Thedautsch! Your Kimber Select will be well broken in, once you restart building a system. May that be soon and the best of luck to you. | |
| How often do you listen to live music? I sit in awed silence!Cheers! | |
| What is your opinion regarding electrostatics? Yes Greg, how does the saying go? "Great ears hear alike " or something like that, no? (-;Cheers! | |
| How often do you listen to live music? Same here J-D....and thanks Jeff, seems to be the same all over. I got goosepimples however as I read your thoughts about "honest" Jazz- and Bluesmusicians and what bliss, hearing THE Prince jamming. WOW. And as the adrenaline flowed, I thought ag... | |
| Power Conditioner Decision Supakit, it might interest you, that I've done what Sean has suggested with good results in using the Quiet Lines at exactly those critical points he has mentioned.(They also work at 230VAC/50hz, thus can be used in Europe as well) Try them, why s... |
