| Fidelity vs. Musicality...........Is there a tug of War? Musicality is a fine alternative but then you shouldn't use terms like high fidelity. Fidelity implies truth in reproduction and then good recordings will be musical and bad recordings will sound lousy. | |
| Looking for Speaker Input Let me throw an alternative into the discussion. I was shocked but I found really good anti vibration feet an anything can make a huge difference. They worked under every piece of electronics I put them especially under my CD drive(it was a brand ... | |
| Is bass the most important frequency band? I love bass but I can't stand bloated mid bass. It makes sound unlistenable for me. I'd rather miss the bass. But what I value most in sound is clean attack and even more clean decay at all frequencies. Plus I need dynamic linearity, accurate leve... | |
| 100W+ solid-state amps known for beautiful mids I smiled at the recommendation of the Yamaha VFET amp since a VFET is a solid state triode device.On another thought I'd worry about an amp that is always sweet since that implies it's colored significantly. The amount of sweetness should vary wit... | |
| Cables that measure the same but (seem?) to sound different If you believe in science(and I do) then if two items measure the same, they are the same. But that assumes you have measured everything that matters. And you don't know if some factor is missing from your measurements until you discover all the m... | |
| A 60 year old turntable design is still going strong! Edgar Villchur developed acoustic suspension which allowed smaller speakers to produce bass and had a significant affect on stereo as the smaller speakers made stereo practical. And until the 70s it ruled audio speaker sales. Acoustic Research own... | |
| Does port location make a significant difference with regard to speaker placement? It's best to keep a rear port away from a rear reflector. Too close can affect the port output which is why a front port is friendlier for a ported speaker close to a wall. Otherwise since port bass is 100% omni it shouldn't matter much. | |
| How long does Class A have? Class A is a niche market. It's bought like jewelry because people want it. It will probably last forever.I noticed the lead question mentioned a single ended class A amp. ALL single ended amps are classe A. They have to be, the circuit is inhere... | |
| TEKTON IMPACT MONITORS When you change drivers even tweeters from the same supplier you have to redesign the crossover. It's not just a drop in(or multiplr drop ins in this case). | |
| Class A Power in A/B amplifiers? There is no standard. The amount of class A can vary from less than a watt to a couple of watts and sometimes more.Note that the class A rating is usually for a solid state amp at 8 ohms. It's less as the impedance drops.Also note that most class ... | |
| The first system you had that was "high end/audiophile", by you standards My first system was a College graduation present from my parents in the mid 60s. It wasn't state of the art even then but it was at least A-/A.Dynaco PAS 2 preampDynaco Stereo 70 ampAcoustic Research AR2a speakersAcoustic Research XA turntableADC ... | |
| Welcome Back! Most dome drivers have a problem in that they wobble vertically due to usually only having one support, the spider. And I suspect the bigger the dome the more the problem which is probably why there are so few mid range domes. Both ATC and PMC min... | |
| Problem Solvers Needed-Got my New XOs installed and am worried.... Assuming the new crossover is broken in, modern capacitors and resistors of the exact same values will change the sound, sometimes significantly. It's possible you're used to your original sound and the new parts aren't to your taste. This may be ... | |
| Sonus Faber vs Wilson I like Wilsons a lot but 2 things mentioned in a few answers.1. Wilsons are not an easy load. The newer ones are better but they still drop to 2 ohms or lower at spots and are very reactive. But good amps designed for these characteristics will wo... | |
| LTA Ultralinear vs SET amps I had a friend who wrote an article called 'Color Me Perfect' meaning every amp has faults and you pick the one that has the combination of pluses and minuses that please you the most. That means that the most important factor in choosing audio ge... |
