Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD
I prefer the Nakamichi 7A to the Dragon as do some other owners.  It is mechancially more stable with no auto reverse and has manual azimuth adjustment.  I've used mine for 30 years.  Otherwise, sonically, I prefer the Tandberg cassette decks.  Ex... 
The Future of Audio Amplification
My best friend uses a Channel Islands Class D amp and he is comfortable using it.  He would like to substitute one of my Class A/B voltage regulated amps which can control the bass of his demanding speakers instead but can't afford the change.  He... 
How important is it for you to attain a holographic image?
geoffkait - I’ve purchased about 18 Mercury Living Presence pop LPs from Stan Ricker in the 1990s, the engineer of them and of Mobile Fidelity LPs. He told me that many of them had parts of the recording out of phase while other parts were in phas...

Is the Opus 3 and Proprius label CDs also in reverse polarity?   I've got about a dozen of the LPs between them and their polarity sounds correct.  Please let me know if I'm wrong.  ThanksP.S. the early stereo recordings were generally recorded wi... 
The Future of Audio Amplification
I’m using all tube preamp and amp gear, Class A/B. However, at several audio shows, I heard relatively decent Class D amps. One that stood out was from PranaFidelity. http://pranafidelity.com/index.php/reviews/ Using my CDs in an EAR player and hi...

I'm with you cd318 as I proposed the same concept for enjoying recorded music.  geoffkait  I wasn't referring to a person other than myself.  I can sit  about1 foot to my left of center and to my right of center and have a centered sound.  I am 5'...

I have a 1.5 person wide sweet spot and a wide, 5 total seat good listening area between the speakers which are set apart 9 feet center to center, angled about 5 to 7 degrees inward and 13 feet in front of the seating.  They cross far to the rear ...

I experience holographic sound from many mono recordings.  One does not require stereo, 2 channel sound to achieve 3D sound.   My best mono recordings have great depth and open soundstage, including wall to wall sounds as the recording permits.  W...

Lukaske - Have you listened to acoustic orchestral music, some big band jazz, piano, even electronica like Yello on your Ilumnia Magisters? They have an unconventional design which is at least quasi-omnidirectional and possibly very holographic. H...

Furthermore, the acoustic treatments of the listening room are of paramount importance.  Diffusion of mids and highs are useful for the interiors (and absorption of the bass in the walls).  I use a mixture of SR HFTs and two pairs of Shakti Hallog... 
How important is it for you to attain a holographic image?
I've heard many audio systems which had tons of air, ambiance and 3D holographic sound.  The best were monitor size speakers and one or two way implementation.  There was one in an Einstein equiped room that had the recording sound like it had 50'... 
How important is it for you to attain a holographic image?
I completely disagree that the holographic image is the most important factor in arriving at the high end in audio.   The most important  factors are the rhythm, tone/harmonics and dynamics in achieving an enjoyable representation of music.   I've... 
Perfect Path Technologies: Omega E mat
I will be moving into a new home in March/April and cannot install solar on my concrete tile roof (too delicate) plus the HOA doesn’t permit any solar panel exposure. So, if the Gate works as proposed, I could install it instead of solar and hopef... 
Magicos are chesty
E-S  I 100% agree with you about the S1   Hearing it twice at shows confirmed how mediocre they are.  They made the large orchestral Pictures at an Exhibition sound like postage stamps at an exhibition  Using behemoth amplification (1000 watts int...
