| Talk but not walk? I read about some people in Swiss Alps, near the border with Italy, who make great violins. One of them at particular time of the year chooses the day and a few spruce trees to fell. He selects those trees, who knows how, but he doesn't want to be... | |
| Talk but not walk? Yes, Michael, one of the reasons why I asked it. The other, I heard, just heard that Brazilian Rosewood, which is no longer legal to import, by the way, gives the most sophisticated sound, generally speaking. One day, perhaps. Custom speakers is a... | |
| Talk but not walk? Wood is something that is sort of alive, everything matters, including how it is dried. Maybe Michael will elaborate. | |
| Talk but not walk? That's a lot of work and takes a real good hearing. Sound I would want ? Paco de Lucia's custom Conde Hermanos guitar, to start with and go from there. Finest instrument I have ever heard live. I heard a few fine opera voices too but not top level. | |
| Talk but not walk? Anyone compared different woods under turntables or/and tape decks ? I didn't get to it yet . There should be a difference, theoretically.Michael, how about speakers made from Brazilian Rosewood or other rosewoods ? Speaking of speakers as instrum... | |
| Which Nakamichi to choose? There is definitely a strong element of nostalgia in playing tapes, though I myself have never stopped playing them.I used to have LX-3 for about a year. It broke, and instead of having it fixed I decided to get 682ZX and keep it forever. It's bee... | |
| Talk but not walk? I'd say it is quite a perverse way of having sex. Why don't you two stop it and do it in private if you have to ?Now that's psychoanalysis. | |
| Which Nakamichi to choose? Right. With good metal tape you can push Nak, at least better Naks, to 8 or even 9 while recording. I usually do 6 or 7. With Type I and Type II tapes, which I no longer use, it is no more than 5 for me, as recommended by Nakamichi. | |
| One DAC/integrated you could be happy with forever? Gryphon's dac is upgradeable, as far as I know. | |
| Is It Possible? I don't have your Chameleons, Michael, they are nowhere to be found. I have 20 years old Rev80i. Running them with old Purist Audio Colossus fluid speaker cables. They don't like humid and hot weather, I can tell this. | |
| Talk but not walk? Not only do I burn in cables while listening I do it with analog source only. That's the first step in tuning. When I no longer hear a difference - the cables are fully burnt-in, for me. Human brain is still the most sophisticated device in known ... | |
| Talk but not walk? It' s neither a hassle nor a puzzle - you just tune the instrument. Michael thinks that entire universe is that. I wouldn't go that far but the entire listening room with all the components and listeners in it - certainly. Let's first tune ourselv... | |
| Talk but not walk? Michael, why do I think that you will never fit in here ? If I may, try not be an amateur psychologist and amateur preacher. You are a pro system tuner but you don’t sound like that. State your theoretical foundation and concrete ideas clearly. Pe... | |
| Is It Possible? So, are you saying that Quads are great in midrange but that's about it ? Well, not for me then. I'll take Michael's Chameleons, and some others. | |
| One DAC/integrated you could be happy with forever? Go for broke, almost, would be Gryphon Diablo 300. |
