SET 45 Amp Driving Dynamic Speakers
Also, power is felt. Listen to the same music with the same 105 db speakers at the same db level, not loud, with equal quality amps that have different power capabilities, and there will be a difference.That's why live music sounds so different - ... 
Shorten my speaker cables?
But not too subjective or we would be unable to agree on anything, right? 
SET 45 Amp Driving Dynamic Speakers
It's like a car that only drives well on quiet perfect straight roads in sunny weather using 95 octane gasoline at 50 miles per hour and needing service every 1000 miles at most. In some cases it will do but, generally speaking, it is, if you will... 
When will we ever hear turntables demoed fairly?
Yes, Frogman, right on. There is another aspect. Platter mat and record interact, it's like kind of sandwich. Can one hear the differences of this? Experienced good ear can. I myself probably cannot but may still have a feeling that something of t... 
Speakers in the 5-6K$ region & their components
I don't think that the premise is faulty, it is just not the only one possible. But I would be cautious about price/performance correlation. High quality is always expensive but average quality can be expensive as well. I too believe that the driv... 
Joule Electra preamps and amps. What is your impression?
This is an interesting situation. It appears that preamps would be an excellent choice, as for phono amd amps, there may be too many compatibility issues and noise problems.Hmm.. 
Joule Electra preamps and amps. What is your impression?
Thaluza,Appreciate your guidance. Yes, I would consider built-in phono too, but I strongly prefer separate phono stage. It also allows me to record onto tape directly not through tape-out. 
Joule Electra preamps and amps. What is your impression?
Thaluza, Thank you. The owner's retirement may or may not be a complication for me, I would have to think about it.Yeah, I like the idea of all tube electronics, SS amp would most likely be a temporary solution, though I would do my best to avoid ... 
What to do with bad recorded CDs
Power conditioning, power cords, interconnects. And of course top of the line transport dac and digital cable.Never mind. Bad cds will still sound bad just more tolerable. 
Joule Electra preamps and amps. What is your impression?
Thaluza, thank you very much. So..great sound but possible problems with noise. No problems with preamps. Could be "labour of love" indeed. Since the tubes last a very long time this should not be much of a concern, I just don't want to pay $200/$... 
Joule Electra preamps and amps. What is your impression?
I see. Is retubing with NOS expensive?  
Beyond Ayre Pass and Rowland
Everyone knows that only great SET amp gives kind of midrange purity.  
A thin and elegant system?
Danish speakers designers are often concerned with this. Also, Vienna speakers are slim. 
When will we ever hear turntables demoed fairly?
I'll tell you one thing if you promise not to tell anyone. There seems to be an objective reality. People with equally excellent hearing will hear exactly the same things. They may and likely will have to a various degree different sound preferenc... 
Finally stepping into the hobby after 30 years of watching from the sidelines
VAC Avatar has standard MM phono and optional MC phono instead of the MM. If you decide to proceed with VAC, ask the seller about which one is there now. You probably wouldn't want low output MC cartridge and high output MC would work just fine wi...
