| Why do audiophiles shun feedback in amplifiers? If I may chime in here on the "tight" bass issue. Atmasphere's description of the string bass is a good one - no orchestral bassist would want to be told that he sounds "tight." I am sorry to say that Kijanki's post in response makes almost no sen... | |
| Which Primaluna amp ? The autobias feature is very nice indeed. I will say I prefer my Dialogue 2 with EL 34s instead of KT88s. | |
| Which Primaluna amp ? I have heard the PrimaLuna amps with ProAc speakers, and it is a nice combo. You list some of their newer models here though, which I am not familiar with. I have a Dialogue 2 integrated and like it very much. I have heard it and a few of the olde... | |
| Three recent, key learnings Hi Stuart - I have to say I would generally agree with every one of those three premises, especially the second one. I would, however, also generally agree with Newbee's first post as well. | |
| What Does Holographic Sound Like? Bryon, I obviously misread your post, then, sorry! | |
| Primaluna Dialog Two Integrated Amp vs Cayin A-88T Hi Catama, yes, the Dialogue has a remote. I just assumed all of the PrimaLuna products did! | |
| What Does Holographic Sound Like? Hi Bryon and Sabai - I will now chime in on your discussion here. By and large, if I am understanding both of your positions here, I agree with Sabai. Bryon, when you are talking about your concept of "reactive" listening rooms, you seem to be imp... | |
| Primaluna Dialog Two Integrated Amp vs Cayin A-88T The Dialogue also has the switch from triode to ultralinear on the fly - I thought the Prologue did too, but I guess not from what you say, Catama. | |
| Importance of Soundstage/Imaging I would agree with what Onhwy61 says about the old horn speakers he mentions in particular. Timbre and dynamics are of extreme importance to musicians when they evaluate what a speaker sounds like, with our reference being what live acoustically p... | |
| Harry Pearson HP No Longer at TAS Sad news, indeed, no matter what one's opinion of him was. | |
| What Does Holographic Sound Like? Chadeffect - you seem to have misinterpreted my post. You said: "I think the best places to share ideas are places free of anyone deciding what can or cannot be said. As long as there is respect for others." I do not disagree, in fact I agree comp... | |
| What Does Holographic Sound Like? Hi Geoff - I am going to assume, despite the facetious reason you give, that your actual question is a serious one. I do not merely think, I know, that my profession will indeed cause hearing loss over the long term. It has been proven that the av... | |
| How can I tell what version of an LP is best ? Saki70 said: "Unfortunatly , I am not the only one seeking this info ! Trying to locate one of these primo copies is quite difficult if not impossible . And when one is available , it can be priced into the stratosphere !"This is exactly why I am ... | |
| What Does Holographic Sound Like? FWIW, Bryon, I agree wholeheartedly with your last post. Some of the stuff that is frequently posted here and in many other places is just plain crazy. Hope this comment doesn't get deleted, but it seems to me that the Audio Asylum does a better j... | |
| Ebay LP Purchases IME, ebay is a good place to buy used records. One thing I would say, though, is not to pay any attention whatsoever to feedback, unless it is very bad. There are many great sellers on there who's feedback ratings have been damaged by idiots. That... |
