| Which sounds better 2 way or 3 way speaker design @toddalin , I always am interested in your perspective. After reading your above post, how would you answer the OP's question? Also, if one was going to go with a two way speaker, is there a sonic advantage in a two way that is built into its... | |
| The # 1 Christmas Album Alice Cooper and his band had a great but little known live bootleg Xmas album; it featured such all time favorites as Santa Claus Is Going To Hell and Rudolph The Dead Reindeer. Neal Smith turned Little Drummer Boy into an impromptu all out jam s... | |
| What contributes most to a change in how an amplifier sounds? Pretty sure I nailed it on the first post. What!? Not the loudness button?? | |
| What's the best 6NS7 tube you have tried in your Atma-Sphere MP-3 preamp? @tyray , my bad--I referred to those Sylvanias as '55 Bad Boys. I just found the email regarding that batch of 6SN7s that the previous owner sent me, and they are ’52 Bad Boys. | |
| What contributes most to a change in how an amplifier sounds? @davetheoilguy , the heart perfuses all of the organs, including itself and the liver; the liver will die if it is not perfused for a long enough period of time (cardiac muscle will die a lot quicker from absence of perfusion). When heart rhythm ... | |
| What's the best 6NS7 tube you have tried in your Atma-Sphere MP-3 preamp? No sweat, @marco1 , I didn't take anything negative from it, I was just replying in a neutral tone. But thanks for following up. | |
| What contributes most to a change in how an amplifier sounds? Reminds me a bit of the old story where organs of the body are having a fight over who was most important. Can’t remember what the plot twist was — something like the little toe saving the day. But the moral was the organs make up a team, all o... | |
| What's the best 6NS7 tube you have tried in your Atma-Sphere MP-3 preamp? @marco1 , I didn't say that there was anything wrong with it, just that it is not what I listen to. now. | |
| What contributes most to a change in how an amplifier sounds? @bigkidz , I remember a conversation I had with John Barnes (may he rest in peace) of Audio Unlimited quite a while back. He was talking about a couple of tube amps and I forget how he exactly worded it, but it was to the effect of when when comp... | |
| Do CD Transports benefit much from upgraded power cords? @lalitk , thanks for the vote of confidence, but actually I wish my hearing was acute to the point where I could immediately identify what gains or losses a piece of gear or a cable offered. It would make the "quest" easier for me. As it is, I d... | |

| Luxman JPA15000 power cord? @audphile1 , how about for digital gear? | |
| What's the best 6NS7 tube you have tried in your Atma-Sphere MP-3 preamp? I ran RCA black plates in my MP3 for a while (until they went noisy) and liked them very much. Nice lively 60’s rock and roll sound, if that’s what you’re into. 60's rock & roll isn't my thing, but I really did like those tubes in the front... | |
| Luxman JPA15000 power cord? @audphile1 , I assume that you liked the Audience Forte f3 better than the Preffair (sp?) PCs from Amazon that we were discussing a while back ago. | |
| Do CD Transports benefit much from upgraded power cords? I enjoy clean, clear vocals, tight full bass, soundstage, the sound of the venue, etc., but simply cannot hear 1/10th of what many here do. I can relate to that, @chocaholic . . . enjoying good sound but not having the acute hearing that other... |
