| Preamps can color sound considerably. Surprising? Maybe heart=center of the system Liver= contributing but not the center I still don't think this works as an appropriate analogy, as the passive preamp is still performing the same function as the active. | |
| Best 12AU7 Type Tubes for a Preamp Happy listening! | |
| Preamps can color sound considerably. Surprising? I assumed they was referring to the removal of waste and toxins? Hmmmm . . . interesting . . . but is that the function of a preamp? | |
| Preamps can color sound considerably. Surprising? No, I don't think that audio components to organs is a fair comparison, but if it was, I don't think you could compare one type of preamp to a certain organ and then compare another type of preamp to a different organ. | |
| Does your "esoteric" taste in audio also exist in other "things" you own/consume? . . . Carmelita, hold me tighter, I think I'm slipping down . . . | |
| Preamps can color sound considerably. Surprising? A good active becomes the beating heart of a system. A passive, the liver? Not to be argumentative, but I don't think that this analogy works. | |
| Preamps can color sound considerably. Surprising? This way at least you don't have to worry about bye really expensive interconnects to further color up the sound. @jumia , are you saying that cheap interconnects do not color the sound? | |
| Does your "esoteric" taste in audio also exist in other "things" you own/consume? On an esoteric level, you are way ahead of me. However, I believe I am getting more bang for the buck. | |

| Listening chair height? @onhwy61 , thank you!! "Vertically, there is very little change in the speaker's sound as long as the listener is on or below the tweeter axis. Move above the tweeter axis, however, and a deep suckout appears at the crossover frequency (fig.6).... | |
| Listening chair height? @erik_squires , thanks for the suggestions. The speakers are currently on 24" Target stands (now wishing that many years ago I would have bought higher stands), and I'd rather not shim the stads themselves, but I could easily shim between the fr... | |
| Why do so many members seem afraid of making an audio decision? Take a 95 year old person to a diner and watch them peruse the 300-item menu. Then you will have the answer. @chayro I haven't made it to 95, and I am thinking that I won't, but for those that have, I would think that being as how every meal... | |
