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...

  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...

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

@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 ...

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. ...

  kota1 I've worked with wireless mics in film for many years, the cost of a single transmitter and receiver is about $4000 for the best units (Zaxcom). Knowing this price range means that there is no way KEF can put a state of the art wireless ...

  tkhill I’m not sure if you were talking about me but I’ll answer. The reason I started this post was because it seems like many of the people on Audiogon are searching for magical sessions with music. As technology gets better the closer we’ll ...

kota1 I have a fireplace where the cc tweeter should be and because that stupid stand was almost $1000 I had to use it. I did aim the tweeter to hit me at my listening position, I was very careful with the measurements very good note. If you do a...
