| I like my system flat, no tone controls, no eq..........what is your preference, and why. I’m pretty much a big believer in (good quality) EQ. I now use digital, parametric EQ. The problem with it has always been the noise factor...push too much in the upper mids and you get hash, too much in the midbass or lower mids and you get mud o... | |
| New to audiophile and need HELP. @ bacchus1234, You can find great sound for $2k, but you will need to do some sleuthing or you will need to find someone who already has done that kind of work at this end of the market for you. Go on youtube and subscribe to a guy by the name of ... | |
| Looking for a decent CD Recorder The best one I found for the money was the TASCAM SS-CDR200. If you look at the **recording** specs (not playback) the 200 is much better than the cheaper 900 series. Off by only less than 1 dB from Redbook spec. Analog or digital inputs. Can reco... | |
| ‘modern’, ‘mainstream’ speakers—too many models converging towards too similar a sound @twoleftears; Great post and excellent thread! Coming a little late to the thread, but not at all to your observation. I should’ve posted this myself, it has been bugging me too. Yup, lifestyle engineering at its finest alright. Lately I was in Ch... | |
| Tube / SS amp that handles 4ohm loads well and delivers lively texture / palpability I'm saying that I think that adding bass tautness to a 'drum effect' kind of system is a negative to the overall sound, whereas adding it to a very transparent bass setup is actually a positive. | |
| Tube / SS amp that handles 4ohm loads well and delivers lively texture / palpability I tend to agree that Ralph's post is a good point, but doesn't that sorta more come down to a speaker thing (in most systems, anyway)?? Boxed speakers in particular...you know, that whole distinction or parting of ways between head thumpin', gut-k... | |
| Beware of new material claims - the case of graphene Worth being aware of, thanks. | |
| Why should we think of "what microphones heard " as a standard @inna I don’t want to hijack your thread really, but I honestly think you may be looking at the problem the wrong way.Although I agree with bdp24’s post above, And that we, as you say, we only need good enough ears, I don’t think of this as a mic ... | |
| Speakers for.....every type of music? Welcome! As far as listening to ALL kinds of music goes (that's me really, btw), how satisfied you might be in the long run may come down to how far out of your way, so to speak, you're willing to go and how far your willing to take things...that ... | |
| “Oppomod” linear power supply @ptss I did indeed have nearly $8k’s worth of a power treatment and grounding solution (Alan Maher Designs) at the time the OPPO MOD was added to my 103...have added even more since. The 103 is not well ventilated but I’ve had no issues with heat ... | |
| “Oppomod” linear power supply I had that mod done to my 103 - astounding difference...air, life, ease, extension, clarity in spades. | |
| Upgraditis? No longer know what that is anymore. Discovered Alan Maher Designs some years ago (power treatment solutions). At first I went along with it because I could tell after trying it that it was apparently a great way to enhance the sq of my setup...he... | |
| Duleland break in time I tried Duelund interconnects. At first they were...well...underwhelming to me. I decided to let them break in for about a month just to be sure. At first it was a little discouraging because the character didn't change at all for the first 2 week... | |
| Insider or Outsider? To be or not to be,...? Ahhh...and so it begins: what once was free you now have to pay. They could've just opted to give us most the new 'perks' for free.Great move for Audiogon, they'd like to own the casino...they have a constant revenue stream, set the rules of behav... | |
| Neutral or Detailed. You can't have both I always thought of "natural" as a broader more inclusive term. But, I've seen "neutrality" defined as both the "coloration/timbre" thing and also as the "bright/dark" or "warm/cool" thing. Maybe we do just have to sorta be more careful about what... |
