| Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. I forgot the great Leak and Quad amps, low powered but wonderful. | |
| Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD geoffkait No, no, no. Some high end audiophile systems bring out the finest qualities of sound from all sources, including the worst sources. Sure, I’ve trashed many recordings LP, 78 and CD based on really poor sound quality. Now, my system is so... | |
| Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. I 100% agree that there are many more excellent sounding lower power amps than higher power amps. Most appear to be between 20 and 40 watts. I have a voltage regulated (non-ultralinear) 35 watt Dynaco 70 that is superb sounding. I have also hav... | |
| Perfect Path Technologies: Omega E mat P.S. Robert doesn't read Audiogon forums, so he doesn't know what Frank does to alter his system sound. | |
| Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD As to LP shelf space, approximately 80 LPs fit into one foot of shelf space. Hence, 8000 LPs should fit into 100 lineal feet of shelf space. I should know. I currently have 25,000 LPs in my listening/storage room and 5,000 LPs in my storage she... | |
| Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD As to performances, there are LPs and CDs which do not duplicate them or have equally good mastering/sound. My Marston CDs of vocalists and pianists are not available on LP and often extremely rare originals (78s, Pathes, Edisons, etc). They so... | |
| Perfect Path Technologies: Omega E mat I know for a fact that Hallographs are not cheap to manufacture. The wood costs about $175 to $200, as stated nice pieces of ebony aren’t cheap. They are not made in huge quantities so machining them costs another few $100s. Probably a 3X to 4X ma... | |
| Why Power Cables Affect Sound @ elizabeth As to the kitchen magnets, I tried six of them and they are worthless as to affecting my audio and video systems. On the contrary, the E-Mats, full size, one dozen, greatly improve my sonics. Just one on the main power box signific... | |
| Perfect Path Technologies: Omega E mat @elizabeth Those sticks you call them, Hallographs, are made of three woods including ebony, quite expensive. Try buying some premium quality and then machining them. I've used Shakti Hallographs since they were invented and so do my friends who... | |
| Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD Live music can sound terrible as it usually does when it is played loud in small acoustic spaces, too amplified or in too live or dead rooms. The acoustics where music is played is extremely important to the quality of the sound. Recordings are ... | |
| How important is it for you to attain a holographic image? I would give up imaging first of the three. Or make it fourth after dynamics, or fifth after harmonic/tonality, or sixth after rhythm/pacing. Imaging is good to have but not essential. I have good imaging because I have more expensive than $4K ... | |
| Catastrophic Accident! What To Do!? I have an HO5+ property insurance policy with a $2,500 deductible. I also have insured all my equipment (including non-destructable items such as power outlets and Stillpoints) under scheduled property, with no deductible for $137,000 (both audio... | |
| Why Power Cables Affect Sound Roger of Ramtubes has the opposite view of Atmasphere and myself. He says that any PC cable that sells for over $100 is a waste of money. He thinks that there are advantages to better quality PCs but not after $100 price. I've tried maybe 20 PC... | |
| How important is it for you to attain a holographic image? Yes, and my large O getter and D getter Amperex 6DJ8s from the 50s were labeled Hewlitt Packard. I bought them for $80/pair nearly NOS (measured new). They are great tubes for the EAR Acute CD player. Others prefer NOS old Siemens or pinch wais... | |
| Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD @ rauliruegas I agree with you concerning nearfield listening with its less than optimal sound for music listening comfort. Back in the 70s, I reviewed concerts at UCLA Royce Hall and traded my front row tickets for 10th row. The first couple ... |
