| First foray into Class A amp -- recommendations 09-16-14: Jmcgrogan2Go ahead AL, get some practice using the markup tags on this reply. ;^)See how easy that is??? LOL!! | |
| First foray into Class A amp -- recommendations 09-16-14: AudiolabyrinthMtrot, if you go and audition a krell 400cx or 700cx, they will clearly out perform the pass labs amp you listened to, espeacially with high quality cables, my depth of the sound stage to me is endless,voices and instuments... | |
| The Biggest Album Release of All Time... Surprised at the lack of interest in U2 here. I also do not care for U2, I feel they are highly over-rated. Obviously they must have some fans somewhere. I guess not in the audiophile world though. Interesting. | |
| Best CD transport? The Esoteric may be overkill, but the OP just asked for the best CDP to use as a transport. We all know there is no best, of anything. However, he also gave no price range, so we can't assume he meant best budget transport either. If he has a budg... | |
| Best CD transport? The Esoteric X-01 would probably be considered one of the best CDP to use as a transport, if not the best.I have no relation with the seller.Cheers,John | |
| Hifi V.s. The music makers There is no "absolute truth"...there is no spoon. One persons "absolute truth" is another persons coloration. I do know many who are convinced that their way is the only way, sort of like having a God complex I suppose.I agree with Mechans, live a... | |
| Your most disappointing purchase or audition? 09-06-14: Tubes108Per a request I'm waiting for someone to reply to my challenge to come up with "my ulterior motives" that make more sense than the facts Ive described. I'm still waiting for you to address the ulterior motive you brought up, tha... | |
| Your most disappointing purchase or audition? Tubes105 also brings up that the most logical reason for any ulterior motives behind his posts are that he is a sleeper agent for another company. Yet he has posted no evidence in his defense of that possibility, so motive is still a gray area. Ma... | |
| Your most disappointing purchase or audition? Very well stated Joe (Trelja), I agree with you 100%. I couldn't have summed it up better myself.Cheers,John | |
| VAC Amplifier Speaker Output Taps Kevin has always advised folks to try both taps, as results vary from what one may expect. He claims that many times the amp may mate better with the minimal spec speaker impedance rather than the nominal spec. In my experiments this proved to be ... | |
| Transfiguration Proteus Congrats on the Proteus! I haven't heard the new Proteus, but I am a big fan of Transfiguration cartridges. I've been putting my nickels and dimes away with the hopes that one day I can find a Phoenix that I can afford.Cheers,John | |
| Help with pricing? You could subscribe to the Audiogon and/or Orion Blue-books. Or simply check the 'Completed Listings' section on Ebay to get a handle on prices. | |
| Amplifier specs, does they matter? Some specs matter to me, specs like size, weight, power output and input impedance are important to me for system matching purposes. Frequency response, THD, slew rate, and signal to noise specs I do not pay much attention to. Listening will tell ... | |
| Terminological Exactitude.... If it sounds good and it measures good, it is good. If it sounds good and measures bad, or if it sounds bad but measures good, we haven't learned exactly what to measure yet.Progress is never ending. It would be foolish to think that mankind now k... | |
| do i change the preamp or the speakers? Maybe its just me, but I am confused. You were enjoying the sound of your system, and then you inserted some new amps that sounded better than your old amp in every way, except for the fact that you no longer like the sound of your system, it is n... |
