| Dc voltage sent to my speakers @mulveling , forgive me for my limited ability to understand electrical theory, but based on what you typed, assuming the applicable cap failed inside a tubed preamp, the output transformers of the tubed amp (assuming a tube amp was behind the pr... | |
| What is meant exactly by the description 'more musical'? The term "musical" cannot be defined as an opinion... So tell me which/who is more musical: Megadeath, AC/DC, Waylon Jennings, Pink Floyd, Cowboy Junkies, Maria Muldaur, Led Zeppelin, Suzanne Vega, Knickelback, Warren Zevon, Fritz Reiner and t... | |
| High End System Building. How important is the matching, cabling and room? Thoughts ? So you do know what they say about opinions? | |
| What is meant exactly by the description 'more musical'? My summary of this thread is that the term ’musical’ is not a good term to describe sound or equipment characteristics. It appears to have multiple different means to different people. Absolutely. Like quite a few of the adjectives and adver... | |
| High End System Building. How important is the matching, cabling and room? Thoughts ? I only quoted you. Why are you throwing a hissy fit? But do you know what they say about opinions? | |
| High End System Building. How important is the matching, cabling and room? Thoughts ? My opinion too .... Thanks .... Well, you know what they say about opinions. . . . | |
| High End System Building. How important is the matching, cabling and room? Thoughts ? @immatthewj i 100% agree with you my system is 25% speakers. 75% electronics! My system is that way and I’m extremely happy @calvinj , and I am afraid my electroics $ to speaker $ ratio is even more skewed than that. That is partially because m... | |
| What to do with a large collection I’ve bought a lot of CDs that do and did absolutely nothing for me (I used to experiment back in the old days) but I needed to buy them in order to find the jewels that gave me hours upon hours (for years) of enjoyment. Iris Dement, Allison Krause... | |
| High End System Building. How important is the matching, cabling and room? Thoughts ? I'm using $800 JBL Mini towers with a $20K Aavik u-150 integ......best sound I've had...all about SYNERGY ! @mbmi , I also believe that the electronics in front of the speakers makes a difference. By almost every post I have read, over the ye... | |
| High End System Building. How important is the matching, cabling and room? Thoughts ? Again, @mahgister , I did not attribute all or any of those schools of thought to anyone in particular, least of all to you. However, I am saying that here on this site and also on Audio Asylum I have read posts that endorse all of those schools... | |
| High End System Building. How important is the matching, cabling and room? Thoughts ? @mahgister , I am not arguing with what you have typed above. I may well be the only one on this thread (and one of the only few on this site) who freely admits he is not knowlegeable. And I also believe that if I had my system in a properly tr... | |
| High End System Building. How important is the matching, cabling and room? Thoughts ? @mahgister , almost everyone who posts here claims to be knowlegeable; however, quite often their opinions appear to me to be 180 degrees out from each other. Therefore, I will continue to refer to different schools of thought. | |
| High End System Building. How important is the matching, cabling and room? Thoughts ? @mahgister , I wasn't directing that post at you. As a matter of fact, I rarely completely read most of your posts. However, I don't think that anyone can read through the responses to (for example) this thread, and deny that the "school of tho... | |
| Indispensable Tool! I am willing to give the Ayre disc a try. I'll look into buying one. | |
| High End System Building. How important is the matching, cabling and room? Thoughts ? The room has a significant effect on sound. This has been known a long long time, nothing new here. I am sure that is true, but so does the equipment. I went from a somewhat "cluttered" living room with unequal side walls (meaning no sidewall... |
