| CD mastering a lost art? Dynamic compensation, equalization, whatever. Tonally they are unlistenable. This major fault of most recordings is intentional. I know this to be the case because a "poorly recorded" CD sounds listenable on my ipad or in my car, and is horrific o... | |
| Modwright sony xa 5400cd In regard to pace it's the different powers supplies that need to be compared. There are at least three. | |
| Player that excels at imaging.. Unusual responses.Power cords? Brute resolution?Or warm, magically floating, musically holographic, tubes. | |
| Neutral cables for hi-resolution, imaging system? MIT's are full sounding. They'll give your system body and space. I tried several of the more "popular" brands above and none image like MIT. Yea, nobody likes the boxes and they are expensive. You could easily get a used pair, people are always u... | |
| Martin Logan Aerius i vs. Spica TC-60 Spica's are great. I don't know anything about speaker manufacturing, but why someone cannot build a modern version of the spica's or just copy the old ones is beyond me.Virgo IIs are the only AP speakers I like(and own). As far as I'm concerned t... | |
| What sonic differences between 2a3, 211,300B & 800 I do not have experience with those tubes-wish I did. Here is a post you may find helpful:http://www.audioasylum.com/forums/set/messages/18066.html | |

| New speaker with imaging Here is an Audiogon discussion link where there are many good recommendations on speakers that image. http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?cspkr&1053643146&read&keyw&zzlegend | |
| Which speaker is the master of IMAGING ???? another vote for the Spica's. all of them. i agree you with you that the legend room sounded great. even with the little integrated. but i think you may need to buy that whole system. component synergy may have had a lot to do with the sound in th... | |
| Imaging/Soundstaging - Does room size matter? specific example...Spica tc-60 with Adcom. Paul Simon, "Negotiations and Lovesongs". In the room eerie band size imaging. About two feet beyond the outsides of the speakers and a foot or two above. Cymbals high, snare drum middle, bass drum low. V... | |
| Imaging/Soundstaging - Does room size matter? I agree with Jond. Speaker placement and of course recordings. And I think just swapping components to get it right is the ultimate answer. My experience is limited so I am in part sharing it to also get an answer to the imaging question. So take ... | |
| Imaging/Soundstaging - Does room size matter? yep. height. without question. | |
| Imaging/Soundstaging - Does room size matter? I had two systems in two different rooms. The system in the larger room, with the speakers out into the room and wide apart, has a wide and deep(!) stage. But the width of the stage stops at the speakers.The smaller room only allowed for the speak... | |
| What does "good" sound like? TVAD- My sarcasm was not really directed at you, but the hobby. Agreeably a high quality acoustic recording is the way to go to evaluate a system. But A LOT (!) of music is poorly recorded and/or heavily processed. When I listen to THOSE recording... | |
| What does "good" sound like? TVAD is right. Once you journey into this hobby you can no longer buy music you like- but you can pick something nice from several recommended recordings lists. : ) |
