| Question for Atma-sphere, will expensive power cables improve your amplifiers? @soix I felt I was being very nice to you the first time in response, but I must say now, you just have to stop letting your dogma curtail conversation between two other individuals. My question was to Ralph and not to you, over an issue he was pe... | |
| Question for Atma-sphere, will expensive power cables improve your amplifiers? @atmasphere thank you so much for your clarity and continuation here, Ralph. I fully understand now - I usually trust my abilities to read between the lines but did not want to take a chance on your sense of things on this particular issue. : ) I... | |
| Question for Atma-sphere, will expensive power cables improve your amplifiers? @devinplombier ‘Around here, that's called bullying, and it is considered abuse. Just sayin ’ - and how well that sums up the state of the union, in relation to a simple search for directness and truth. Thank you for the measured way you have resp... | |
| Question for Atma-sphere, will expensive power cables improve your amplifiers? @devinplombier in truth, very very few manufacturers would bother getting into discussions such as this, which is a sad thing. My questions for Ralph may be putting him on the spot unintentionally, but it is so that I, and possibly others, may hav... | |
| Question for Atma-sphere, will expensive power cables improve your amplifiers? @atmasphere - thank you for your generous reply, Ralph : ) It has got me thinking of two more questions - your reference to bandwidth will obviously have to do with the bandwidth of the cable itself, since as you stated - ‘The bandwidth of the equ... | |
| Question for Atma-sphere, will expensive power cables improve your amplifiers? @soix it is for this reason my post has been phrased as a question and not a supposition - I am quite sure Ralph would be happy to speak for himself : ) in friendship - kevin | |
| Question for Atma-sphere, will expensive power cables improve your amplifiers? @atmasphere - based on what I have read from your posts and the exchange between you and jea48, would it be safe for me to summarise that you are of belief the primary and perhaps even only issue of the effect of a power cable on sound has to do w... | |
| What does your Virtual System page say about you? @sfgak - everything is important in a system, really - I wouldn’t read much into the categories you stated. If any one puts things in an order, it’s more for organisational purposes than importance 😉 In friendship - kevin | |
| Merry go round @hilde45 - thanks for your reply - alls good, enjoy your journey! In friendship - kevin. | |
| Merry go round @hilde45 - thanks for your response, there was a lot in there to parse out, and i hope you won’t mind me thinking aloud. To start with, my apologies for not writing with greater clarity earlier - when I stated ‘one certainly cannot prefer the r... | |
| Merry go round @hilde - thank you for your kind response ; ) - just to clarify, I am certainly not saying there is one kind of reality, only that at any one venue that live music is being played, no one is going to point at the plucked string of a guitar and say... | |
| Merry go round @hilde45 - if I may, your analogy of food is not quite correct, because regardless of what you prefer there, you’re still eating the real thing - you’d need a simulacrum of the experience of taste and smell to make a more relevant analogy with so... | |
| The Disappearing Act @lalitk - there were increasing levels of disappearance over the course of building my system, but the biggest jumps happened with 1.open baffle speakers with their field coil drivers; 2.combination of replacing the fuse of the external power supp... | |
| BEST SPEAKER THAT COMES TO LIFE AT LOW LISTENING LEVELS @kjl1065 - I believe the only speaker type that would fit your bill will be a one driven my electromagnets - ie: field coil driver/s. Thing is, these don’t come cheap and to fit within your budget might take a little more than 15k brand new, altho... | |
| Why isn’t more detail always better? @mapman - I’ve found that anything that sounds unnaturally bright or fatiguing is not detail, it’s distortion. Systems that do that are not detailed, they just haven’t reduced degradation of the original signal sufficiently to pass muster. A tr... |
