Headphones vs speakers…. Something seems not quite right here. When I refer to a forward soundstage I mean you don’t even need to get out a measuring tape to know that the vocalist is betweend 10 and 12 feet directly in front of you singing 2 feet above your ears. Snare d... | |
Headphones vs speakers…. Mahgister Again we were discussing frequency response only. The value I place on my own large and ’open’ (please don’t ask me to define this word) audio presentation with a forward soundstage so realistic that you often cannot close your eyes and... | |
Headphones vs speakers…. While I do hope that "the case" is now closed, I want to add that I moved on to building my own electrostatic speakers by purchasing a kit from ER Audio (western Australia). My reasoning for doing so is that even though there was a tremendous amou... | |
Headphones vs speakers…. Now this is good stuff Mahgister. Much appreciated that you were willing to stick with it and get down to the dirty details. Yes, I’d also like to call the case closed, but I’d like to close it from my end as well... First, there was no reason th... | |
Headphones vs speakers…. @mahgister And please stop making this about you. I don't and never did want to have a discussion about you! People who read your statement in question may very well be new to the subject and trying to build their own systems, experiences and kn... | |
Headphones vs speakers…. @mahgister And there you go again leveling personal attacks while avoiding the question. Are you trying to get me to do the same? I didn’t and I won’t, especially since you appear to have no interest in ever answering the question . I made my p... | |
Headphones vs speakers…. @mahgister and yet ... you can certainly be critical of ME if you want but this isn’t about me. And it doesn’t help your point by accusing me of doing or being something whatever that might be. This isn’t about you either. Is it? I meant for my ... | |
Headphones vs speakers…. @mahgister wrote ... "I prefer headphone now because , it would have cost me a fortune to buy speakers on the same league of frequencies response..." What is "a fortune"? Based on my knowledge of the average agoner's budget, what they've spent a... | |
Headphones vs speakers…. Sure I'm coming to this a few months late, but it's a relevant post and will remain relevant for some time. That, and of course this thread has been left open for comments. @russ69 wrote above ... "It takes a really good system to beat a decent... | |
What preamp are you using with Primaluna Dialogue Premium HP amp? George. You are looking at the wrong review. Your charts are for Stereophile PL Prologue measurements. The OP was clear that this post is about the Dialogue Premium HP.Here's the prologue measurements ... https://www.stereophile.com/content/pr... | |
What preamp are you using with Primaluna Dialogue Premium HP amp? georgehifi. you refer to the Kantor load as not "too severe" but it *is* quite severe running off the PL's 16 ohm tap (you failed to mention that the measurement was done off this tap). A quick look at the load's dip at 4500hz should convince ever... | |
Quad vs. Martin Logan? I love resurrecting old threads that are worthy of resurrecting. Now it's a 2.3 year old thread. And yeah, I'm resurrecting it by posting (thanks Jim;-)I'm absolutely loving my Quad ESL-2805s and it happened only after a *lot* of a'goners told me ... | |
Best interconnects used for around $500 +? As someone who goes into almost every cable A/B test skeptical that I will hear any differences, I usually end up convinced that I hear some differences only to be left wondering if it matters. Recently I borrowed the Audience au24se XLRs and co... | |
Power output of tube amps compared to solid states I'm wondering why this thread ever stopped. It's one of the most interesting AND informative threads I've read here. Why not keep it going? Certainly the posts have only touched on the subject. | |
Clear Day Interconnects heh. just thought i'd smirk in geoff's direction, whichever that may be. somehow his last comment got lost in the shuffle. |
