| Shortcut or badcut? OP... What is your definition of "air?" Is it to increase the high frequencies, meaning more high-end extension? Or are you looking for the phenomenon of air around the instruments? This would increase the space surrounding each instrument and imp... | |
| A change in efficiency to the final sound Also true is that the higher the speaker impedance, the lower the distortion.Your speakers have 92dB sensitivity. That's good but more importantly is what is the nominal impedance? And no way to know how your amp will perform with 85dB speakers wi... | |
| Quobuz issues on the Bluos app @ozzy62 , I chose Qobuz over Tidal and Deezer because it's library is rich in classical and the excellent SQ. The aforementioned issues are with BluOs on Android running Qobuz.Ozzy, what device are you using? | |
| 12BZ7 ///12AX7 @mozartfan,I'm not understanding your opinion that the 12AU7/ECC82 sucks. In the Asylum shootout the clear winner was the Brimar Gold Aero Platinum grade 12AU7A.There are superior drop in substitutes such as the 5814, 5814A, CV4003 Mullard & B... | |
| Quobuz issues on the Bluos app Ozzy, The lack of a sorting function is a royal PITA. Qobuz has been around long enough to address this issue. I've gotten the same response as others, "we're working on it."Another problem with the interface on Android is there isn't a Search fun... | |
| Carver ZR-1600 amplifier I see RCA inputs in the photo. | |
| 12BZ7 ///12AX7 +1 ndevamp. Check with the manufacturer. | |
| Old Legendary tubes vs New Kids on the block Amperex/Siemens/Tele vs Psvane/TAD/Shugaung @mozartfan, you should check with manufacturer on the use of the 12bz7. They draw twice the current of a 12AX7. They are a drop in equivalent only if your amp produces enough B+ voltage. | |
| Difference in sound between copper and silver digital cables? Yes, there is a difference, but it largely comes from the implementation. There are copper conductors, silver, and copper coated or copper infused with silver. The design and material used in the dialectric also contributes to sonics. | |
| Jadis Defy can't sing with super high Fidelity PART 2 12AX7 is very different than the 12AU7 and each serves a different purpose. AX7 is a high gain tube often used to drive the output tubes in an amp. The 12AU7 is the soul of the amp or preamp; it produces most of the sonic signature.Due to the AX7'... | |
| Jadis Defy can't sing with super high Fidelity PART 2 Mahler, what are your components? I'd like to see a pic of your amp if possible. I couldn't really see the layout of the tube stages. What output tubes are you using? | |
| Would this room treatment be worthwhile? +1 Erik. If you like the way your system is currently tuned, this mild absorbion will improve the focus of the image by removing the reflections from the TV. | |
| Would this room treatment be worthwhile? You don't want to go too heavy or you'll be creating an absorbion panel. This will affect imaging and other sonics. I use a cotton blanket, my flat screen is also between the speakers. Or use something light and porous as suggested above. | |
| Best Sounding Bruckner Recordings Oops, they were remastered and Amazon lists different orchestras than Qobuz. (In mono). | |
| Best Sounding Bruckner Recordings I’m now listening to Klemperer with the WDR Koln on Qobuz, #4, 7, 8. These are from the 1950s and are superior performances; lively but still rather reserved. They could do with some remastering, but so far I’m enjoying #4. |
