| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused brianlucey oops I spelled al Schmitts name wrong and Capitol Records wrong, sorry. Al Schmitt was very kind and he was incredibly humble and unassuming. He wanted to show me all around Capitol and the reverb rooms but I was a little star struck to... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused brianlucey Maybe no one is on your sound journey, maybe you use the greatest equipment in the world and we are all simply lucky to hear your musings on equipment. If you were half half the engineer you think you are you would understand that if a ... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused secretguy you say silly premise, I'm assuming that you're talking about my statement that audiophiles are confused. If you have read a few other posts don't you agree there is a lot of disagreement. Designing speakers with amps and driver frequenc... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused thespeakerdude Hear hear! I can make objective remarks about the best practice for a speaker and an amp to sound best with regard to best practices is for them to be designed to work together in the same cabinet or apart. If someone doesn’t believ... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused mijostyn I'm surprised you said a good sound system can sound like a real musician in the room. Have you ever done that? Even in the best recording studios in the world the sound in the control room doesn't sound like the sound in the studio. I pl... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused fisher_400 The principle is the amplifier and speaker should match in a very intimate way. If the amplifier designer has no idea what speaker is eventually going to be used for the music I would say that designer is throwing darts. I don't think t... | |
| Tube amps and a Stradivarius invalid Just asking an honest question, I assume you have tube amps, as I do as well. What sort of system do you use to change all the tubes just change them all each year or 6 months, they start sounding bad very slowly and It's hard to realize t... | |
| 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 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... |
