| Distortions that the human ear likes. Are there any ? But then, I can't rule anything out either...the above is just my 2 cents. | |
| Distortions that the human ear likes. Are there any ? I was playing hooky yesterday, but I still would answer the OP by saying that fundamentally speaking, that I don't think that there are distortions that we might prefer, just those that we might think we prefer until we hear it done better more pr... | |
| Distortions that the human ear likes. Are there any ? When it comes to harmonics (and I realize this thread is about whether or not we might "prefer" any certain kind of distortion), then overall I'd think that the most "realistic" reproduction of harmonics across the board would be the one most immu... | |
| Distortions that the human ear likes. Are there any ? You might, I suppose, indeed come up with a preference for a single-generation copy tape to the original vinyl, but if your system's response were being continually improved by other means, would you come to the point that all you preferred was th... | |
| Distortions that the human ear likes. Are there any ? Well I don't think it could Rilly be better. If it were, then the more tape copies you make from the original tape, then the better the result should sound, yes?? | |
| Chinese fake cables How fake, how good? The whole point of making a counterfeit is to rip you off. Most people are pissed when that happens.I guess some people seem to have trouble picking up on the concept. I imagine this might give the counterfeiters some pause...maybe they’re not goo... | |
| Naim anomalies!? Many manufacturers might wish that people buy all their same brand for a complete system, even if most will choose to mix and match with other brands. But Naim always struck me as being different. Seems like they made an effort, more than any othe... | |
| I wan't the best in this price range Personally, I'd recommend the Triton 3+ over the DT's or the Triton 5's here and this is why: I know the 3+'s are 500 USD/pair more than the 5's, but I highly suspect the 3+'s will perform better at the frequency extremes than the others you're co... | |
| Do audiophiles hate large subwoofers? @bdp24, thank you very kindly for the scoop! I may have some figuring to do in the long run. I'm trying something else for now, but it's definitely nice to have a plan B to turn to if things here don't pan out well! | |
| Do audiophiles hate large subwoofers? @bdp24, interesting... Is there any way to confirm or distinguish between what the crossover point maximum is and what the true roll off frequency of the amplifier itself is...that might be critical for me. | |
| Do audiophiles hate large subwoofers? Actually, I should say that integration issues (one by one) become increasingly less problematic the lower in frequency the crossover point goes (generally) and that integrations problems will not usually altogether ’disappear’ until that point is... | |
| Do audiophiles hate large subwoofers? "Low bass is a whole different animal." Yes! I'll grant you that. It's only where I (or others) try to integrate at a bit higher than typical frequencies (like 170 Hz and at 1rst order) does it seem to complicate things. In my own setup, if I deli... | |
| Do audiophiles hate large subwoofers? @bdp24 Yes, thank you, I must confess I did think long and hard about Danny's servo subs. They were quite attractive to me.I wound up going with going with Crown XTi 2 amps and a pair of Acoustic Elegance 18" Dipole woofers (on order) for the main... | |
| Do audiophiles hate large subwoofers? @lalitk, I believe I know what you're onto with something like the REL's and I don't doubt your voracity at all. But I'm a different sort of customer in a sense in that if your main speakers go down low enough, then something like a REL would be a... | |
| Do audiophiles hate large subwoofers? I don't see much wrong with them. It's not really the larger drivers, it's more that it can be a problem of one kind or other to get them into a "small" enough box and still sound very good. And there's the problem of the lack of proper control en... |
