| Tube amps and a Stradivarius Movie theaters use ss equipment because tubes would be a nightmare the tubes would always be sounding not like new and it would be nearly impossible to get the LF response needed to make spec. Sure there are tube amps that can put out a lot of pow... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused If you put a quarter in it the rack will wiggle. | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused I was the Sound Mixer on the show Roadies produced by Cameron Crow. The show was about a stadium rock band and the roadies that helped make the show. I didn't do the first two episodes but when I came in I found out they made deals with the live s... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused brianlucey You are confused, it doesn’t matter how many records you have worked on. My position is not that I have great speakers in my Atmos system it's that they are accurate and industry standard I don’t want them to sound amazing as you have s... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused Kota1 Ok I really don't want to be blunt but I will be. As you probably already know I think tube amps, and microphones, sound better more musical and all that just not in a accurate way but in an effect way because of the natural characteristics ... | |
| Tube amps and a Stradivarius invalid You are right, a designer must use feedback that is always a compromise but transistors are still more accurate (don’t sound better) than tubes if you look at them on a scope. Another fare worse aspect is how transistors distort when c... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused Oddioboy You seem very interesting, that was a more insightful post than you may realize. LA is about keeping your job and making your clients happy, eclectic mastering labs are great if you can hold up your end and put out great work. But master... | |
| Tube amps and a Stradivarius Triodes are more linear than transistors, which can also make them sound more realistic than solid state Do you have any articles to back this up, everyone would agree tube sound is more pleasent but any info looking at input and output through a... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused moonwatcher Well, I guess a good engineer could put drivers and an amp inside a concrete block that weighs about 300 pounds. Doubt it would sell very well. And Vibration dampening systems ARE important under turntables at the very least, regar... | |
| Tube amps and a Stradivarius Also if you think tube amps are more accurate you are simply fooling yourself. I use tube amps (hybrid) in my 2 Channel system but I know they are not more accurate they sound better and more musical than SS amps but the audiophile community needs... | |
| Tube amps and a Stradivarius Do you want the sound to be accurate or sound cool. There are objective engineering philosophies that clash between flat and good when it comes to sound. The best answer to me is to have the goal of putting the musician in your listening room play... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused brianlucey Thanks for the article I really enjoyed it. As I was reading your equipment list I thought wow how can you time align all those eclectic parts then you mentioned the Trinnov, very good choice. Interesting to hear you are combining tube ... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @brianlucey Oops I guess you didn't work with Pink Floyd I misread your post. Their team to me may be some of the greatest music mixers ever. You definitely need lots of speaker to mix Dolby Atmos you can do 5.1 but 7.1.4 is probably best. It ... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @brianlucey Super cool you worked with Pink Floyd, so much creative engineering on those albums. I really didn’t mean to brag about budget I just meant I didn’t worry about the money and I could have gotten more expensive monitors but my room is ... | |
| Tube amps and a Stradivarius The Neumann U 87 is still one of the greatest vocal microphones ever (tube). Records have a warm rich rumble that sounds great. Vocals don't have warm and rich rumble. Tubes are a physical effect mechanism that have nothing to do with accuracy. ... |
