| Phono/preamp/amp chain. One of them tube the others SS. Which one? Orpheus10, of course the sound can be improved unless you already have absolutely top of the line phono stage, then it can only be made slightly different not better. Some here believe that only tube phono can achieve the highest level. Grado has... | |
| power conditioning question gentlemen Oleschool, this is wild hypothesis of mine. What if in fact you want better amps and better subs, something that would give you all the reserves and peaks of power and then some? 'Unlimited' power taking any shape and form you want it to. No power... | |
| Any modern band that comes close to Mahavishnu Orchestra ? Yeah, McLaughlin has no rivals. Back in the 70s he could have assembled one hundred somewhat different Mahavishnu Orchestras and they all would've been excellent or great.But frankly, to be very impolite, what he has been playing for so many years... | |
| Do we really need anything more than 8" woofer and 1" tweeter for medium size room? But since you mentioned monitors, I read that LaHave speakers, I think I got the name right, from Canada sound extremely good, but again not enough bass. Bass is the most difficult thing to get right, as I understand it. Not that the rest is easy,... | |
| Do we really need anything more than 8" woofer and 1" tweeter for medium size room? Whatever else they might be, they won't do bass. Without sufficient bass no speaker can be called phenomenal. With a pair of great subs, then it may be quite a sound, I don't know.And we are not talking about prices and value, cost is no object in... | |
| What is the single best pre amp you have ever hear Again, I hear about Ypsilon apparently remarkable electronics. They now have a modest $25k hybrid integrated, going price could be somewhat lower. Greek know music, right? | |
| How many will listen to tape and vinyl in the next century? Tonykay, right about Willy. Six years ago he aligned and calibrated my 682ZX extermely well. Going to send the deck to him this year again to have it in perfect order for the next five-seven years.As for the next century..well, someone got to repl... | |
| speaker and interconnects, how nice do I need I use speaker cables that cost new as much as my speakers ! Bought then used for 30%. And my interconnects cost half as much as my cd player, again got them used for about 30%. | |
| What is going on? No-one buys good stuff priced right. Oh man, you are doing time travel again. | |
| Any modern band that comes close to Mahavishnu Orchestra ? Actually no, but I am familiar with his music, listened enough of it on youtube. Like him much more as a performer than as a composer. | |
| speaker and interconnects, how nice do I need I'd say 15%-20% the total cost of the system. But when buying used you might get lucky with better cables. | |
| Phono/preamp/amp chain. One of them tube the others SS. Which one? I would still have to get power amp at the same time - too much. Besides, I am a strong believer in separate phono stage. | |
| power conditioning question gentlemen My PS Audio unit shows me that in most cases incoming current has over 2 % THD and outcoming 0.4 %, that's a big difference that I can hear. 117volts should be alright for most equipment but some will sound better with 120V-121V. You could get the... | |
| Any modern band that comes close to Mahavishnu Orchestra ? That I liked, very nice. Dreamy yet articulate. The vocal could've been better. This is of course not jazz, atmospheric, I'd say. | |
| Phono/preamp/amp chain. One of them tube the others SS. Which one? Well, it does appear that tube phono would be overall the best first move. In my particular case, I would go with only top level phono - Lamm, VAC, Atma-Sphere, CAT, maybe Herron etc. Worth the wait and patience. Then I would probably upgrade my i... |
