| When I listen to my system....... @ toddalin Your comments are missing the point. Once music is recorded/reproduced you leave the world of music and enter the world of music reproduction, which is why we gather in this forum to discuss gear, not performers/performances (unless ... | |
| When I listen to my system....... @ jastralfu My statement clarifies that recordings are sonic derivatives of music, and NOT music. The key is that recordings are influenced by the recording/playback process. Real (i.e. live) music does not suffer from these issues. Consequent... | |
| NOS Tube Recommendation for Quicksilver Phono Pre Amp When I needed to replace the tubes in my Phono Preamp, I called the manufacturer, Zesto. Fortunately, they are a small to mid-sized manufacture and the owner/designer/salesman, George, is a wonderful guy who loves to speak with audiophiles. He... | |
| When I listen to my system....... @ mfili35 Mr. Parson was correct, and perhaps not for the reason some folks think. You stated: "Alan Parsons puts a lot of time into their mixes and mastering once said people don't buy equipment to listen to our music they buy our music to list... | |
| When I listen to my system....... @ mrdecibel, you stated "How is it that anyone can put tone, sound staging, or anything else with the "sound" before the performance." I understand your position, but I think your premise is flawed. The issue is not performance/composition VERS... | |

| Unplated copper spades/banana I use COPPER spades and use DeoxIt (2 formulas are available, one for copper, and one for gold) and Stabilant 22 clean/condition them once or twice each year. No big deal... On the positive side, taking the time to clean the connections gets ... | |
| Recommendation for tube preamp Another vote for ARC. Listen to one first to be certain it has the basic sound profile that you are seeking. Next, consider how it will change/update the sound of your current system. Also, buy the best (most recent model?) you can you can affor... | |
| Power amplifier longevity… thoughts? +1 onhwy61 Who stated - "Of the amps you listed the Ayre would generally be considered a higher quality amp than the others." If you go for an Ayre, they are still in business. I recently had Ayre replace/upgrade the capacitors in my Amp, and t... | |
