| Why Do Cables Matter? @gs5556 YES! @nonoise Sounds much like Kenjit doesn't this poster. @jasonbourne71 Your history does omit some important facts. Monster 300 (the original, not further Mark versions or Monster 400s) was simple in design and well executed. F... | |
| Why do speakers improve with more powerful amps? Among the finest sounding audio systems were those powered by medium powered Class A/B amps such as the classic McIntosh 225 and 240 (for mids alone-McIntosh MC30s). Generally speaking, low efficiency coupled with low impedance speakers require h... | |
| When are speakers considered Hi-Fi and not Mid-Fi??? I've been listening to mid-fi equipment and speakers for 5 decades now. It wasn't until I heard/experienced a few audio systems that blew me away. The first was 42 years ago at Michael Lane's home with 250,000 records. He custom built his equip... | |
| A SHOCKING DISCOVERY ABOUT DIGITAL AUDIO The responses are almost hysterically funny. Wow, a really funny forum here! Masterbaiter is Kenjit-I love it! | |
| Can a system sound too Holographic? @drbarney1 +1 absolutely! Three channel recording of orchestra provides the best orchestral sound reproduction. | |
| Can a system sound too Holographic? I wanted more holographic sound despite having two pairs of Shakti Hallographs. I purchased a GIK Q7D quadradic diffuser for the center mount between the speakers front wall and that made the soundstage pop from center as well as spread the sound... | |
| Swiss Digital Fuse Box - "What headroom sounds like" @wolf_garcia Just the $22 Acme treated fuse took an EAR 864 with NOS tubes from the trash heap/forward sound with no depth (combined with plugging into the Tipplite plug closet to the power cable) to beat out the EAR 912 with NOS tubes. The SR bl... | |
| How rare is an audiophile Someone mentioned that audiophiles should spend more time procreating. True, however, two of my three current best friends are single men in their 60s (hetero) who are audiophiles and listen to music daily and often. as much as time permits (not ... | |
| How rare is an audiophile @mahler123 Generally, you are correct. The president and founder (deceased) Dr. Braun (head of thoracic surgery Kaiser, cantor and a fine orchestral violist) of the Jewish Music Commission (new classical and Jewish ethnic oriented music grants an... | |
| How rare is an audiophile @mahler123 Well, I have 7 living audiophile friends. I asked 3 of them today if they ever discussed music or audiophilia with their physicians (and myself included that's 4). None of us discussed music or audiophilia with our physicians except ... | |
| Swiss Digital Fuse Box - "What headroom sounds like" Any SR and the Acme fuses were tremendously superior to a Bussman and Littlefuse glass or ceramic fuses in my EAR 864. I was not using it for a decade and was about to sell it because it was very forward sounding and lacking in any depth. All of t... | |
| Swiss Digital Fuse Box - "What headroom sounds like" @carlsbad2 I am responding to an earlier post of yours. I totally disagree based on my own equipment. The biggest change is in my DAC and Pre-amp between fuse manufacturers and type. Acme special-total failure/worse than the standard fuse in t... | |
| Swiss Digital Fuse Box - "What headroom sounds like" Last night, I found that the SR blue fuse in my EAR 864 pre-amp sounded more closed in that an SR purple fuse (both having 100s of hours on them) but the purple fuse, despite being more open, slowed the pace/dulled the rhythm-less interesting (yes... | |
| "But it sounds better at night...." I can affirm that it is not necessarily time of day but the weather and general neighborhood power use conditions that determine if the power will be less or more clean. Today’s power versus pre-internet and especially pre-HVAC was substantially c... | |
| Looking for high power warming sounding tube amps @orthomead Thanks for the tube life at 6 years. I listen a minimum of 2 hours nightly, more than 800 hours annually. I have 2 EAR 890 amps but they sound great with classical chamber/orchestral, vocal/opera/pop, jazz (traditional to post bop) a... |
