| Tradeoffs of external phono stages? Or EAR phono stage. | |
| Tradeoffs of external phono stages? What tubes do you use ? With better tubes your old trusty preamp with phono stage might sound much better. Also, power cord and interconnects. I would not rush to replace what you have unless you exhausted its potential. You could in addition to ... | |
| Class D amplifiers. What's the future look like? If he really prefers his class D amps to tube amps then he fools himself. In any case, he is on this forum for business purposes, whatever he says - remember that. | |
| Class D amplifiers. What's the future look like? They will go the way of cd players, in ten years no one will need them. Ralph and others perhaps have some time to cash in. He does not prefer his class D to his and many others tube amps. He won't fool me. | |
| How do you add color? Best gear in the world along with the best room in the world are useless if the recording was not done right. Don't exaggerate the importance of listening room. The room must be alive, that's for sure, the rest is relatively minor. "It's the sour... | |
| Annoying trend? New vinyl equalization and compression Our response to it should be very simple. We will help them cut their costs much further by not buying this junk. | |
| How do you add color? There is another point. Microphones do not 'hear' everything and so part of the real sound being recorded will be missed. Let's call it negative coloration. You might try to at least partly restore those lost in recording elements, without adding ... | |
| How do you add color? It is. Last time I remember we argued about Sonny Rollins. I don't see Orpheus10 participate in Jazz thread. | |
| How do you add color? frogman is right. How have you been ? I would add that take two great guitars and they may sound very very different, though both will have full color. Yeah, a matter of taste and of the kind of music you play. Flamenco guitar, classical guitar, ... | |
| If you were serious about sound you would... donavabdear, I don't think you really registered what I said, you just got stuck in your seemingly perfect to you assumption. And I was not talking about prices. Alright, I'll stop right there. After this. There is nothing cool about digital. It ... | |
| If you were serious about sound you would... I didn't read all the posts, so I'll just say this. It is more difficult to reproduce music than to record it and it requires better equipment. | |
| How do you add color? Color is in the details too not only in tone and timbre. You want it all. Tube preamp is very important, in addition to power amp. As for DACs, why would any audiophile want to listen in digital what was recorded and mastered in analog and then t... | |
| How do you add color? Only analog source and tube equipment can get things done right. If you are lucky. Don't expect much from the rest, save your funds. | |
| One key to building great systems over time. #10 is not right, at least to me. Music and sound quality walk together. If it doesn't sound good enough, there is no music, only an idea of music, you have to imagine things instead of experiencing the reality of them. | |
| Warm vs Revealing—the struggle for balance I think, you are headed in the wrong direction. You don't really want to find warmth/detail balance, you want to find the sound that is as close to the reality as possible. Then you fine tune, including with tubes. I agree with tomcy6, get the ... |
