| 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... | |
| Do I Really Need a Dedicated Streamer? @dunkin - I’m not sure if your question as to why so many were suggesting you switch to tidal or qobuz when all you were asking about was how a better streamer might give you better sound quality, but if not, it is for precisely the same reason wh... | |
| 55” or 65” TV Screen Size and Your Speakers: Please Join Survey @ajant - one more add to the go bigger list. If you like the impact that a movie theatre screenscape gives you, the distance from the most popular seats in any movie house as a ratio of the diagonal dimension of the screen ranges between 1:1 to 1:... | |
| Which power cord should you buy first @salc - as calvin and others have said, power conditioner first. But then followed by server/streamer, then pre, then dac and last, amplifier - seemingly counterintuitive, I know, but it’s all about the source, as evidenced by the biggest changes ... | |
| Room with glass windows as a walls. @rodman99999 ‘infinitely tuneable’ - +1 : ) |
