| Reel to reel deck directly to power amp ? Ralph, unless I got confused - one cable goes from preamp's tape-out to transformer and another from transformer to deck, as opposed to from separate phono directly to deck.I think, my Nak's input impedance is around 50 kohm and my Acoustech's out... | |
| ‘modern’, ‘mainstream’ speakers—too many models converging towards too similar a sound It's not dissimilar to the trend with people, especially younger people. Even if not exactly clones often not too far from them. Disturbing and somewhat puzzling. I hope mother of all gods won't let it slip beyond the point of no return. | |

| $10k Speaker Cables?????????????? It's a good question indeed. Also, why did we go wrong ? And why might we be losing a distinction between right and wrong ? Multiple alternative realities, my a$$. | |
| The nightmare of the cartridge buyer... Well, most people follow herd instinct and nourish their narcissism. Interesting combination, isn't it ? So whatever they do will be trivial.I just wonder what is going to happen when good food becomes 10 times more expensive? If this happens peop... | |
| $10k Speaker Cables?????????????? Well, I can imagine, very theoretically speaking, buying $10k cables but only after extensive audition and comparisons and provided I have near top end system. Would be more difficult with hard earned dollars than with not so hard. It's America, m... | |
| The nightmare of the cartridge buyer... To address another point regarding cartridges of, say, similar level sounding different, of course they sound different, though it is hard to hear them sound without arm, table and phono. It is called coloration. Turntables of similar level also s... | |
| The nightmare of the cartridge buyer... It does bother me, at the very least what I can do is not buy cartridges at those prices, especially without auditioning in my system, regardless of whether or not I can afford them, that's irrelevant. I can afford a $50 cup of coffee in New York ... | |
| Tube / SS amp that handles 4ohm loads well and delivers lively texture / palpability Speakers sure, but not at all only speakers. Once I had interconnect cables that gave me both exaggerated and too tight a bass, those cables were off the balance. Just cables. I replaced them and it is now much closer to what it should be and no e... | |
| Tube / SS amp that handles 4ohm loads well and delivers lively texture / palpability This is a very important post by Ralph. This BS audiophile 'tight bass' doesn't exist, it's artificial. I will quote Vladimir of Lamm on connected issue - You can get a killer bass out of transistors but that's not the way it is in reality.And not... | |
| Reel to reel deck directly to power amp ? One more cable plus transformer - this will degrade the sound. Separate phono with appropriate output impedance will be better. What is the good range of output/input impedance proportion, 1/5-1/10 or so ?I still don't understand IEC /NAB real dif... | |
| Reel to reel deck directly to power amp ? Ralph, that's good to know. Do you offer both IEC and NAB equalization ? Do I need both ? At least for pre-recorded tapes, I guess. In what way do they differ ?The deck must be modified to use outboard head preamp, I think it can be modified to in... | |
| Reel to reel deck directly to power amp ? Reel to reel deck is the ultimate audiophile device, and if you really want to be involved you got to have one. | |
| Reel to reel deck directly to power amp ? Some recordings are quite bad so 7.5 ips two track will be enough.Is there a tape considered best ? With cassettes it is Maxell Metal Vertex back coated. | |
| $10k Speaker Cables?????????????? Also Purist Audio, Stage III, Jorma. |
