| Your last concert was to see who and when? That sounds like a terrific show, Al. Did you stay overnite? | |
| music with clear placement of the instruments. I'll add to Czariveys post. In a good concert hall and on a good recording you can certainly hear and visualize that the string section forms a semicircle in front and that the woodwinds are centered behind them. You can distantly hear each sectio... | |
| music with clear placement of the instruments. Love Art Blakey. In that sample and in all jazz recordings of that era, a minimal amount of microphones were used, plus all members of the ensemble were playing together in one room. This technique provided a sense of space and "air" between the i... | |
| Tweaking my Cronus Magnum Tubes For the preamp, RCA Blackplates (NOS) provide a very open smooth soundstage; not too expensive.I'm guessing these are the 12AU7 tubes and the phono stage is the pair of 12AX7 (ECC83).Telefunken are more detailed, Mullard NOS have a classic tube so... | |
| Speaker cable for Nad 7050 and KEF LS50 It appears that your cables are very respectable. My only comment is that QED is silver plated copper and you may find that a stranded copper conductor may have a warmer presentation. Or a single copper conductor such as Audioquest may be more to ... | |
| Walking Into A Brick & Mortar High End Audio Store I'm going to chime in here since I think my earlier comments helped fuel the fire of this thread. I've only been in this hobby about 5 or 6 years even though I've worked in the audio/video production field for over 20 years.I stated that when I go... | |
| PSB Synchrony line discontinued?? If you have a large enough listening room, the Synch One is the speaker to get. Deep bass, lush sounding with a huge soundstage. Any shops near you to audition PSB? BTW, a shop near me lists the T2 at $3500. And it will be interesting to see if th... | |
| Sage Wood blocks vs Herbies feet for VPI Nomad? The Herbie's "Way Excellent" mat will bring out more detail and better dynamics; plus you can return it if not to your liking. IME, this mat may not be an improvement if you have a cart with extended highs or sibilance.As far as footers go, they d... | |
| PSB Synchrony line discontinued?? The Imagine T2 Tower is newly released for the same price as the Synchrony Two and seems to have replaced it. It's a similar design, but includes a dedicated midrange driver which the Synchrony lacked.The Synchrony One also has the midrange driver. | |
| Walking Into A Brick & Mortar High End Audio Store Another one bites the dust...HiFi HouseI've never been to this shop, but hate to see this happen. | |
| Are all craiglist used ads scam? I don't consider Craig's List a safe place to buy for all the above reasons. But for something like audio gear, I would think it's safe only if you live close enough to see the item in person. | |
| Audioquest King Cobra - Genuine or Fake This is no answer to your question, but how do they sound in your system? | |
| What does "compression" like? Like Wildoats said. Plus if the singer is the same volume as the drums and guitar.I've seen a few user reviews on Amazon where the reviewer says that something's wrong with the CD since he needs to keep changing the volume during the song. I alway... | |
| Walking Into A Brick & Mortar High End Audio Store Roxy, thanks for the response. And as I read back my 1st post, I see that I should have elaborated. My thinking is that at some point, one of us will be making an upgrade and it requires some exploring in these high-priced candy stores. I have no ... | |
| Walking Into A Brick & Mortar High End Audio Store I thought I made it clear that I am not abusing the privilege of honoring a HiFi salesman with a possible sale. This is a hobby and a business where there needs to be information exchanged and demos given. I like Donjr's statement...Half the peopl... |
