| What is meant exactly by the description 'more musical'? @asvjerry , cueing up would be impossible! I can only imagine how many LPs and cartridges would get destroyed! Good thing I never made it back to vinyl after the digital revolution ended. I can see issues with that as well . . . I think if th... | |
| What is meant exactly by the description 'more musical'? @atmasphere , in light of the SET & metal discussion that was going on, this is an interesting thread: https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/young-audiophile-metal-head-looking-to-level-up-speaker-choice#2643720 I also was wondering if in y... | |
| Young audiophile metal head looking to level up speaker choice @newfzx7 , this is an interesting thread I stumbled upon. In light of our previous conversation, I meant to ask you how efficient your speakers have to be to get what you want out of metal with 4 wpc of SET? | |
| High End System Building. How important is the matching, cabling and room? Thoughts ? Gotcha. | |
| Is toeing speakers a bad idea? I remember once upon a time using a Sheffield Labs disc that had an in-phase/out-of-phase track and Doug or Rodger (I cannot remember which) said, when out of phase, to position the speakers enhance the out of focus as much as possible (when out o... | |
| High End System Building. How important is the matching, cabling and room? Thoughts ? I get great transparency, detail, soundstage with a small hint of warmth and musicality. @calvinj , with absolutely no intention of taking this down a rabbit hole, how do you define a "small hint of musicality"? | |
| What is meant exactly by the description 'more musical'? As i see it now after my experiments and this correspond to what you said when you said that you want to see the musicians more than hear them, iis now so well reproduced and translated by your system/room that now you "SEE" the instruments an... | |
| What is meant exactly by the description 'more musical'? @asvjerry , I will admit that There is at least one I can think of specifically who describes a great room and speakers that cost more than my entire system front to back. was poorly constructed and could have easily been construed to mean oth... | |
| What is meant exactly by the description 'more musical'? but in all good recordings you keep the eyes open , not close, because you are irresistibly convinced that you are there in the church where the organ played or you are persuaded that the organ is there in your room and your room begun to be a ch... | |
| High End System Building. How important is the matching, cabling and room? Thoughts ? I am also going to say that in my small untreated flawed room with the speakers and front end that I now have on board, what I now hear that makes the biggest difference in SQ is due to the quality of the source material. Another thing of huge... | |
| What is meant exactly by the description 'more musical'? . "....at least one...." I can think of many....and the last sentence is likely shared by more than one that may consider that comment.... Well, yeah, @asvjerry , but what I actually typed at the time was: There is at least one I can think o... | |
| What is meant exactly by the description 'more musical'? That’s cool. And somewhere near the end of all this you did offer up "improved transients and imaging and timbre" (which I assumed referred to a more accurate reproduction of timbre) and I said that this was concrete and that I could go along with... | |
| Blowing Fuses. Dennis Had Inspire 300B SET Thanks for the followup. I remember that @dekay did mention a cap linked to the rectifier, and I did allude to my amp blowing the 2A SB fuses frequently when I had it connected to the extra cap power bank. I skimmed back through the thread becau... | |
| What is meant exactly by the description 'more musical'? You explicitly said that i babble and that i am a quack... There is not much difference.. I forgot mindless paranoiac... Insults are insults nevermind the word choice.. Once again I will not accuse you lying (as you did to me) but I never refe... | |
| What is meant exactly by the description 'more musical'? A said famously Anatole France , "Being called an idiot by an imbecile is a pleasure"... Oh, and I am not going to accuse you of lying, but I never referred to you in this thread as an "idiot." The term "idiot" has not been used as a clinical ... |
