| Do Countries Have a "House" Sound I'm not saying that there is any 'lockstep' correlation between those factors and the gear sold, per se. Just that that those factors have tended to be in play, over at least the last 50 years or so. The international markets, too, have proliferat... | |
| Do Countries Have a "House" Sound Cultural, political and geographical differences, mainly, I think. Take UK and Japan, for example. Both island nations with real estate at a premium. With traditional housing in the UK, not only do the rooms tend to be smallish, but the neighbors ... | |
| SPL - Pro Audio Blasphemy? Kirkus & Alpha_gt: Thank you both very much for the edifying clarification here. This has been a curiosity of mine for a little while now, but did not really know where to begin...I think some lights have begun to come on for me! Much apprecia... | |
| SPL - Pro Audio Blasphemy? Enobenetto, understood about the rail voltages. Looks intriguing to me too. But, if this were easy enough to arrange in a preamp (for the maker's stated advantages), then could this same idea not also be applied to amps...leading to a combo of hig... | |
| SPL - Pro Audio Blasphemy? I'm tri-amping with Crown XTi 1002's and a 2002 and going preamp-less (using the gain input control on the Crowns). While I would tend to agree that high-end usually sounds better, I've also have been steadily acquiring a lot ($10k+ and counting) ... | |

| Is digital contamination that big of a deal? Yes. IME, it's audibly a Very big deal. It's true that digital noise, for example, can certainly be transferred between components through the interconnecting wiring, but much of it is also radiated through the air and therefore physically from co... | |

| Removing components from between the speakers Simao;"My monitors are pulled forward of the salamander rack. A good 12" forward. So maybe it wouldn't make that much difference...".I wouldn't necessarily conclude that on my own without testing that assumption, but I think there's a simple enoug... | |
| Phasing out of Compact Disc O_holter, yeah, I suppose it's possible I could be nuts on all that, but I just haven't come across anything that I could say that fits the facts any better for me, so far anyway. But, that sort of thing is fairly typical of big money. (Rush fans ... | |
| Phasing out of Compact Disc I, too, think the cassette format (as it existed in from the late 70's to the mid 80's) was vastly underrated. It's just that I never met a prerecorded cassette that I liked, and you have to have a format you can record from (besides radio).Martyk... | |
| Phasing out of Compact Disc Within just 6 months after the initial introduction of the CD in 1982, 50% of the existing LP manufacturing plants in North America had closed their doors - and they had done so at a time when CD sales still made up only a small fraction of the re... | |
| comparison of different dedicated AC line types? Have no experience with "greenfield" conduit. At one time I did directly wire 12ga. romex to my system power strip, bypassing the duplex - just to see if there was a difference in sound with and without the (regular) duplex. Indeed there was. Much... | |
| If you could bring back one great artist that has Don Ellis...gone far too soon. | |
| Phasing out of Compact Disc CD's won't go away with a whisper or like a thief in the night. Like all changes that'll not likely be well received by everyone it will be a sudden announcement made unilaterally (by the powers that be) - and Then everybody will scream the sky is... |
