| Search for miracle integrated I doubt that 25 watts will be enough. Depends on the music you listen to, volume and room size. Personally, regardless of speakers I never consider anything less than 50- 60 tube watts or 75-100 solid state watts. I can easily drive my speakers wi... | |
| are digital recordings on vinyl any better than CD As an additional note, I have one Vertex cassette that I played probably 500 times, and though mechanically it does show age, it sounds just as it did the first time. Try that with any record on any turntable. And I keep playing it every week or s... | |
| are digital recordings on vinyl any better than CD Tape is the only true audiophile medium, in my view, and it shows even when the original is not tape. I am not surprised at all. But you do need good reel to reel to fully appreciate it. Cassette has its limits, and I think I have reached them. | |
| are digital recordings on vinyl any better than CD Orpheus, there are quite a few places that service and repair reel to reel decks, some are very good, as I heard. No, it is not inexpensive but nor is it necessarily very expensive. Tape cost will depend on how many of reels you need and the speed... | |
| If I'm looking for "Tube Sound", why would I put a Tube Pre in front of a SS amp? By the way, Ralph, what turntable was in that Atma-Sphere/Classic Auduo/Purist Audio system that I saw on Purist Audio website. I thought that it had no real drive and as a consequence the sound was somewhat boring. Yes, that's youtube, not real a... | |
| If I'm looking for "Tube Sound", why would I put a Tube Pre in front of a SS amp? I heard this Gryphon story. Thinking along the same line, I would say that good reviews are equally unethical. | |
| Help me choosing an Integrated Amp Right. The best integrated amp are separates. Good choice. | |
| If I'm looking for "Tube Sound", why would I put a Tube Pre in front of a SS amp? I might’ve misread it, Al.If so, my apologies, Ralph. | |
| If I'm looking for "Tube Sound", why would I put a Tube Pre in front of a SS amp? Atmashere, Nelson Pass and John Curl are not the best SS designers in the world. You forgot Rasmussen of Gryphon and also some other European designers. Besides, Vladimir Shushurin of Lamm makes hybrid power amps that are in essense SS.You keep ma... | |
| are digital recordings on vinyl any better than CD Orpheus10, I will both agree and disagree with you about Dual example. In some ways Dual would still sound better with a well-recorded record than any cd system but overall probably not if that cd system is excellent. I have bad sounding records a... | |
| If I'm looking for "Tube Sound", why would I put a Tube Pre in front of a SS amp? There are also hybrid power amps, Lamm and Ypsilon monoblocks come to mind. Lamm uses one tube. Of course, he also makes SETs and his preamp and phono stages are all tube. Perhaps one day they will invent something that will sound better than both... | |
| Vocals and upper midrange too forward? Besides what others have said it might be a poor amp/speakers match.Did you buy the speakers unheard ? | |
| If I'm looking for "Tube Sound", why would I put a Tube Pre in front of a SS amp? Most people I heard of drive electrostatics with tube amps. Preamp is not the most important component. Only tube power amp gives real taste of tube sound. | |
| are digital recordings on vinyl any better than CD Analogue tape is the best medium there is. If the deck is up to the task and you use better tape, talking reel to reel, except for extra noise the recording will overall sound better, with more natural flow and drive.To paraphrase the immortal exp... | |
| Why do I keep torturing myself with remasters? I never buy sealed LPs for more than a few dollars, you really can't know what's in there, nor can the seller. |
