| how can a line cord affect frequency response ? Metro04 - As an educated EE, I clearly do not have the experience today to begin a scientific or engineering investigation on the matter for which you so very much want definitive answers. But I am not sure we are there yet anyway.As advanced as o... | |
| how can a line cord affect frequency response ? It's unfortunate when responses become so emotional and even vicious. As an EE myself, I too lived for many years believing that power cables were minimal at best to not just provide an improvement, but demonstrate a difference between two models.... | |
| Review: Aesthetix Callisto Signature and the KT-66 Tube preamp Hi Chris, no no, you did not steer me wrong at all - on the contrary. Only through posts like yours here are the rest of us made aware of what else is out there to try. I greatly appreciate the time you took to share here.As for the KT66 not worki... | |
| Review: Aesthetix Callisto Signature and the KT-66 Tube preamp Finally I found a little loose change so I could not resist trying the KT66 tubes after Chris’s high praise. I got a used pair of Genalex and an unused pair of Marconi KT66. Currently I run with only one P.S. for the Callisto as well as one for th... | |
| What is the best phono preamp you have heard? Earthpulse - This is a discussion on phono stages not line stages. "No preamp at all" is not applicable here. | |
| What is the best phono preamp you have heard? Dougdeacon raises a very good point on the issue of what ultimately happens when a product goes commercial. The personal service from a privately built design would appeal much to me as well. Establishing a good relationship with such a designer w... | |
| does a stereo system sound like live music ? Tvad: You're gonna get us all fired. | |
| does a stereo system sound like live music ? Newbee, I suspect that question should be posted to www.sizemattersgon.com And speaking of alterboys, I always wondered if that title had a double meaning. | |
| ARC LS26 Good response Ghunter. I can relate to your last sentence as that was ultimately what I did with moving onto BAT, Aesthetix and CAT gear after being an ARC diehard for 15 years. And yes, such shifts can indeed require major changes elsewhere in th... | |
| does a stereo system sound like live music ? Discussionis provocitus?Hmmmm, more like: penuria substantia. Quislibet volo emo a Bose Radio? Vicis parumper dormio. | |
| does a stereo system sound like live music ? And what was the point of this thread? | |
| Tubes in Hi-End Preamps This is an interesting thread. But has anyone yet answered the question, "What's the point then of having tubes?"I won't talk much about neutrality and/or transparency or the issues of distortion, etc., as much of this can be rather subjective. Bu... | |
| how can a line cord affect frequency response ? Very well written post by Jmcgrogan2.As for Albert influencing the rest of us to buy his gear, of yes, every time he upgrades, a number of us tail waggers sit there drooling and waiting for the hand-me-down table scraps. 8-) And Albert, did you no... | |
| Cost of Counterpoint 5.1 Gbslps - You owned all of the above preamps and amps and yet you say they were not really anything special? Why go through the trouble of owning more than one if the first one did not impress you much?As a long time owner of the greatest ARC pream... | |
| Audience Au24 with high current SS amps.... Have you bypassed the fuses in the Magnepans? This seems to be a popular thing to do by many people but I never felt it was worth it for the miniscule improvement in clarity. Many times a fuse failed when the levels got high and I'm certain it sav... |
