| Jazz for aficionados Mind if I stop by ? I was looking for some progressive modern jazz recommendations and found a kind of political/ideological discussion.The greatest force for good is the force that does least evil. Isn't it obvious ? Anyway, what would you recomm... | |
| Is hybrid power amp the way to go ? "the way to go where?". Good question. To the wonderland.Sbank, yes, Lamm hybrids appear to be very versatile and not extremely expensive especially used. | |
| Finally stepping into the hobby after 30 years of watching from the sidelines I would think that room tuning could wait until all the equipment is in place and every piece is fully burnt-in, including of course the speakers. Speakers can take hundreds of hours to reach top performance, cartridge 100/120 hours, cables 200/30... | |
| Is hybrid power amp the way to go ? That's for sure, running direct from source to hybrid amp. Still, it puzzles me, and I am talking about brands where cost considerations are not priority in a usual sense. Besides, solid state amps like Gryphon or Swiss amps are just as expensive.... | |
| Is hybrid power amp the way to go ? There are other tube designs that will drive many speakers, yet some top designers decided to make tubes and transistors work together. This is in fact quite unexpected for me, I thought that beyond certain level it makes little sense to use trans... | |
| Must speakers have certain volume to sound convincing ? Stradivarius will sound great in anyone's hands just as great speakers will sound great regardless of what kind of junk they are forced to play by some so-called audiophiles and giftless musicians.It's quite telling that no-one so far asked me why... | |
| Must speakers have certain volume to sound convincing ? Well, Getz's sax and even more Gilberto's voice don't impress me regardless of speakers.Everyone hears differently or processes what is heard differently? Assuming good hearing, of course. | |
| Finally stepping into the hobby after 30 years of watching from the sidelines Cottguy, if I may suggest, do not choose any speakers until you have seriously auditioned them. This is a critical component.By the way, right now there is a VAC integrated wih MM phono. Great amp, excellent price. | |
| Must speakers have certain volume to sound convincing ? Right, size does matter. | |
| If I'm looking for "Tube Sound", why would I put a Tube Pre in front of a SS amp? Not evaluations, Ralph, just some ideas. I don't like that table.Unlike Thales in Ypsilon/Lansche/HB Cables system or Pear Audio top of the line table. | |
| Must speakers have certain volume to sound convincing ? Besides what Mapman said I also meant internal physical volume of speakers.Panels sound nothing like real music, as beautiful as they can do. They are for dreamers not for those who want to hear it as it is.As for horns, it's a different matter. | |
| are digital recordings on vinyl any better than CD Orpheus10,I appreciate your gift, thank you, but unfortunately I'll have to decline.As I said, I am not ready now for reel to reel project, and when I embark on any project I try to do it right. In this case this would involve going all over the d... | |
| When will there be decent classical music recordings? Oh no, no 'flying guitars' for me please. However, if we start talking about ambient atmospheric tribal music, then I might agree that surround sound may have the place, should be recorded and mastered well though. | |
| 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... |
