| What do audiophiles want from a cable? I can only say that revealing cables are IME and IMO a good thing and would be the correct goal, but keep in mind that they may only be revealing a lack of synergy in your gear choices....perhaps especially if your aural experience with them is su... | |
| List of musicians changed career with better success... @hifiman5, how do we know they're all women?? ;>) ...sorry, couldn't resist.... (But seriously, I am not knocking Reed, I'm a fan). Seem to recall an obscure little band called The Eagles that produced a few solo careers...Frey, Henley and Wal... | |
| True audio stories! Do you have any? In 1989 I was at long last finally getting around to building my first "serious" system (at least in terms of what I could spring for in those days). Everything back then was pretty much brick and mortar, but I had spent some time over the prior 3... | |
| Will changing gain affect frequency response? You may well be right George. I have many unanswered questions about this unit and I'm certainly not here to vouch for it, as I've never seen one and don't intend to order one myself. When I go this route it will be with a simple, but good quality... | |
| Will changing gain affect frequency response? I second what rlawry says above about the non-linearity of the particular gain control, versus that of the volume control itself in particular.Almost as an aside, Steve Deckert of Decware advocates introducing an extra gain stage control inserted ... | |
| The "Digital" listening experience I'm using Alan Maher Designs for AC and DC bidirectional isolation, including their isolation platforms that are the 'bread slices' in my sandwiched stack of components...that means each piece of gear is being treated from both above and below - a... | |
| Which system would you rather have? Only that the hierarchy of components is in place and will not need to be changed and that no more component substitutions or additions need to be made. For me I think my wiring is complete with what I have as well. Tweaking here or there may cont... | |
| Which system would you rather have? @ mesch: I myself am of the opinion that maybe if I were in any other life than this one, I would be going through door #3 myself...but, I'd say door #2 is turning out to be pretty cool...perhaps unexpectedly so, from where I started out.@ minorl:... | |
| Soundtracks that you listen all the way through and it's all great. I forgot one: Anatomy Of A Murder - Duke Ellington | |
| Which system would you rather have? Thanks for your responses. Just now catching up to them. I'd answer in more detail right now, but I seriously think my boss is trying to see if they can kill us with overtime right now, lol....10hrs/day for the last 10 days straight...first opport... | |
| Is Audio nirvana real? Audio nirvana is real, but not tangible......it’s a state of mind. Yes.....and no....for me it has turned out to be a little of both. When nirvana is real, then the answer becomes "yes....but for how long??" You can get pretty familiar with those... | |
| Is Audio nirvana real? Is it real? YES! Very definitely. Did not know that for sure when I began building my current system about 7 years ago...or, if I got there at all, how much it would cost, what it would take or how long...but, I basically already have it. All I ca... | |
| Any modern band that comes close to Mahavishnu Orchestra ? @ maxnewid: decided to take your advice on The School Of The Arts and have been enjoying the hell out of it the past few days, Thanks!I'm a fusion fan and have always Loved Dixie Dreggs, R2F, Ponty, DiMeola, Corea, et al....but, hey, inna, what ca... | |
| Soundtracks that you listen all the way through and it's all great. Forgot to mention the Beatles' Love Album ('06, George Martin and his son, Giles...this is a re-editing of the original track elements and a re-imagining of representative works of the Beatles' career on a single disc. It was not a film soundtrack... | |
| Soundtracks that you listen all the way through and it's all great. Plenty out there on CD...Under Fire (’83, Jerry Goldsmith, w/ Pat Metheny on guitar)(this entire film soundtrack was specially conceived by Goldsmith to be listened to straight through as you would any album).The Carey Treatment (’72, Roy Budd...F... |
