| The Richard Clark "all amps sounds the same" test This is an old thread but I will mention a test done in the UK years ago by Peter Walker of Quad fame. He used a listening panel of British hi-fi magazine reviewers to compare the sound of two amps - a Quad II tube amp and a Quad 405. Speakers wer... | |
| Richard Strauss Recordings Reiner's Bartok Concerto for Orchestra/Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta on RCA is another landmark recording - and favorite of mine! | |
| Richard Strauss Recordings I agree! Rudolf Kempe and Fritz Reiner rule performances of Richard Strauss! Their abilities to shape the long lines and pace the dynamic buildups are unsurpassed by later conductors! | |
| Why Do Cables Matter? Blame it on Noel Lee! In the Days of Yore audio hobbyists used zip cord - and nobody cared or complained! Then in 1976 Mr. Lee started selling 10 gauge fine multi-strand cable in a clear jacket. He called it Monster Cable and it was an overnight s... | |
| Why Do Cables Matter? @gs5556 : Your analogy comparing water pressure to electricity for speaker wire is way off! Amperage/current is not at all like water pressure! Resistance is the defining constant for speaker wire. The longer the run the better it is to have lowe... | |
| Why Do Cables Matter? I am not such an insecure audiophile that I would lose sleep wondering if, say, Kimber cable would sound better than Mogami! | |
| Why Do Cables Matter? From 1992 to 2015 I used a twenty-foot pair of Mogami 2477 Blue Neglex 14gauge coax speaker cable to power my KLH Nine full-range electrostats. I was perfectly happy with this combination! | |
| Ohm Walsh 4.300.2 opinions A 100wpc amp like my Carver is fine! | |
| Ohm Walsh 4.300.2 opinions I am an owner of the older Ohm Sound Cylinders. They fill the room with 3-D sound from any listening spot! The effect is uncanny! Presently driven by a Carver TFM15cb amp with ease! If the price is right get the ones on offer! Ohm Walsh's are not ... | |
| Power Cord choices @vonhelmholtz : I listen to music - not AC cords! | |
| Swiss Digital Fuse Box - "What headroom sounds like" @thyname : I joined Agon in 2016. No need to tell you that user name. I had 4000+ posts then! Then I got a new phone and couldn't get back on here with that first user name. So I became jasonbourne52. Then that phone died when I had 2863 posts. No... | |
| Swiss Digital Fuse Box - "What headroom sounds like" Claiming to hear a difference between a plain slug and a polished slug is just nuts! Back in the days of yore there was a discussion in the letters section of TAS about the sonic merits of polishing the chrome blades on AC plugs. The more things c... | |
| Swiss Digital Fuse Box - "What headroom sounds like" Considering the miles of very fine wire in power transformers and speaker voice coils I can't get worked up about that inch of fuse wire passing 120 AC volts! | |
| Swiss Digital Fuse Box - "What headroom sounds like" @thyname : No, I was a math major in college. Though I have always been interested in Mechanical Engineering and Material Science. Plus I am an excellent draftsman! | |
| Swiss Digital Fuse Box - "What headroom sounds like" @thyname : That's the fault of the Agon programming! It only allows one email per name. When I tried to use my other emails I always got stuck in a loop - "user name taken" and "email incorrect"! Back and forth! So now I sign in using Facebook. |
