| Why aren't the older members still active ? Has it really been twelve years? Amazing. I joined in Feb of 2000, and have been making myself obnoxious, and gotten heat for my posts about the importance of "the live music standard" ever since. I bring this up not to be self-serving, but becaus... | |
| Upgrading Fuses "Why isn't this debate about science" - Metro4Simple, because it is not science that is at play. It is science in the service of music. Music is art. Art is human expression. If you think that the sophistication of electronic science matches the c... | |
| Magnepan 1.7 too bright, HELP Tmsorosk, have you ever heard Quads driven by good tube amps, or even ML-2's. Stax F-81's driven by OTL's, or Maggies driven by Jadis? All with good upstream gear, of course. Sterile? Bright? Are you serious? | |
| Are you an Audiophile? Mrtennis, ....ah, never mind. | |
| Are you an Audiophile? Orpheus10, while you are clearly a music lover, as your many posts about music prove, you also frequently post about such things as recording quality, soundstage, neutrality, tubes, and the merits of analog/ digital. Oh, and you own tube amps, and... | |
| The Audiophile's Wife You are lucky man. And thank you for sharing. I just read it to my wife and had her in stitches. Please tell your wife to keep it coming. | |
| All Amps Sound the Same.... I posted this in another thread, and thought it was relevant here.****I know this is a crazy question but is it possible that the length of dissimilar conductors with varying dielectrical properties can have varying effects,positive or negative,in... | |
| Why 24/7 warm-up period on amps? ***I know this is a crazy question but is it possible that the length of dissimilar conductors with varying dielectrical properties can have varying effects, positive or negative, in terms of introducing, eliminating, or altering interference?****... | |
| Why 24/7 warm-up period on amps? Almarg, you beat me to the punch. That is exactly right. I was going to point out that I have owned a couple of amps over the years (Moscode 600, B&K something or other) that after being on for more than 24 hours, exhibited negative effects. T... | |
| Why 24/7 warm-up period on amps? ****I think so many of these issues are a divide between folks who try it and find it works, and folks who just refuse to accept that it can work.**** - ElizabethA rough count reveals about 90,000 threads on this forum. I think an average of 30 po... | |
| All Amps Sound the Same.... Mrtennis, you are welcome. In answer to your question: Yes, I believe that all music evokes an emotional response; anything that can fairly be called music. It may not be a positive or pleasant response, but a response nonetheless. Earlier you wro... | |
| All Amps Sound the Same.... Dogmatic? Talk about the lightbulb calling the tweeter bright! ;-)All kidding aside Mrtennis, you might find this article interesting reading; particularly the fourth paragraph.http://www.lafolia.com/archive/mrichter/mrichter200004wtc.html | |
| All Amps Sound the Same.... ****music need not induce an emotional response to be enjoyable.****It is clear that when it comes to art, some of us live in different universes. Maybe that was a bit severe...different planets.Venus and Mars | |
| All Amps Sound the Same.... ****my point is that one should not trust the senses****Mrtennis, I truly admire the steadfastness of your very didactic approach to things audio (and, I suspect, other matters as well). But, I can't help but react to what is probably one of the m... | |
| Female Jazz Singers...new person/new releases... Like Nnenna Freelon, why Carmen Lundy remains under the radar for so many is beyond me. There are "jazz" singers, and then there are Jazz singers.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1OvmC39hYi4http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hOfJe6YhZUUAnd then there is... |
