| if i could trade places...... Detlof, thanks, I'll check it out & start phantasizing. Hope the power supply is good out there -- or should I take an industrial grade battery with me.Cheers! | |
| Why Don't More People Love Audio? Kthomas, following on yr thread, audio is not (yet) a lifestyle option. HT sometimes is, and people get together to enjoy an evening before the screen. How many times do people invite others to an evening of music -- as an accepted, discussed and ... | |
| Absolutely Amazing Absolute Power Cords Now that the dust has settled, may I know why, whom & how I offended in my posts here (-2 ratings on my posts). I get a lot of important information on my hobby from a-goners. If I can do a better job in my communications, pls advise after you... | |
| So much Bach, where do I start? Frap, the Alain is GREAT! Txs for the right # --- but my dealer found the CD just the same.Thank you for the suggestion! | |
| To tone control or not to tone control Guys (gals), don't know if I offended someone(s), I have got -2-2 on all my posts on this thread. Whoever it is, help me do better rather than expect me to understand what i obviously do not. We're here to exchange info, experience around music an... | |
| Musicality" in a system? What IS that ? Off at a tangent, if I may. The benediction of the NET is we can get together virtually, and communicate. The curse is, we are (I am) still far away geographically. Too bad we can't get together and share the experiences related in our exchanges..... | |
| if i could trade places...... An audiophile writer, living on an island in the Mediterranean. Funny, Cornfedboy, I trained as a lawyer and took a post-grad course in Ethnopsychiatry (hi Detlof!)-- but never exercised either. When younger, I thought I could double up as a blues... | |
| Want help for my system Salut Diakanov! With all due respect for all the above, and if U like yr YBA 2 pre and yr. JM Lab Minis, partner with YBA 2HC rather than the Mimesis. This is MHO, having heard cross combination, pre & power, from the two brands. The other way... | |
| Battery Powered amps and preamps Paul, the only battery powered equipment I had was a DNM pre -- 15 years back. The power supply was a rechargable battery, officially always plugged into the socket (purists had advised otherwise). It was particularly silent by pre-amp standards o... | |
| To tone control or not to tone control Artemus, I would be interested in the results of the tone-control "tricks" suggested above -- if U have the time & feel like it, do give us feedback.Thanks! | |
| How much time do u spend listening. Love from a-far for the baby. Maybe a new audio/ or music-phile there? No money, there was a thread on rating a while back... I'm sure many a-goners are surprised at ratings they get. I know I am -- but then, I could be naive or get my wording wro... | |
| How much time do u spend listening. About two hrs a weekday, as much as possible on W/E. My system is on all the time (except when I'm away on a trip).I find that I *NEED* the music, as an essential ingredient of survival. Off to join No money in his music buying spree.Regards! | |
| HOW LONG DID YOU HAVE TO WAIT TO GET.... No money spoke for me too; I started 25 yrs ago with a little Philips integrated TT with separate speakers. For years I added to the music collection and, when I could afford it, I upgraded the equipment with used items. I reached my "best" system... | |
| Musicality" in a system? What IS that ? An illuminating rendition, indeed! I wonder if we could stretch Katharina's & frogman's proposition to say (borrowing Detlof's term) that musicality is the capability of evoking "gestalt" of a performance in which we did not and COULD not part... | |
| So much Bach, where do I start? Frank, thanks for the extra info. I already ordered the MC Alain version on Erato (the # came in handy!), and my friendly music dealer is looking for the Walcha.Best regards!Greg |
