| Aging and Treble and Income? " But I definitely agree with you that there is too much close miking and over-emphasis by engineers."There are also a lot of 50+ year old audio engineers who have hearing loss in the upper frequencies. I've been in studios with engineers that hav... | |
| Tube dampers/coolers effect on preamp sound? Audiolabyrinth, I use herbie's dampers on a Jolida cd with 12AX7s. Result was more focused image, tighter bass. But again, the placement of the damper is important; for me it is near the top of the tube, level with the top of the plates. | |
| Tube dampers/coolers effect on preamp sound? " If you hold your speaker cable while the music is playing, do you feel any vibration?"No, I dont feel any vibration in the cable, but I wonder if Steve (Herbie) is right about vibration on the connectors, especially a RCA on a IC?Every Herbie's ... | |
| Antistatic gun for CDs? thanks for your thoughts, Geoffkait. | |
| Antistatic gun for CDs? That's a good point regarding the clear layer holding a static charge, Geoffkait, but getting back to my original post; a static charge must have some influence on the lens or disc drive.I'm not the only one here who notices better performance.Any... | |
| Tube dampers/coolers effect on preamp sound? Kernelbob, Herbie's makes dampers for IC connectors, but please explain to me how and why you damp speaker cables. I'm still not sold on the effectiveness of the IC dampers, but what are your findings with your speaker cables?thanks... and I'm a f... | |
| Beethoven Symphonies - best perf + sonics on CD "This is no minueto!" That is very funny, Brownsfan. And thanks for your impression of the new Karajan.I'm disappointed to hear that some of the muddiness is still there, but I'll be comparing it to the original 1963 CD release which sounds very m... | |
| Sunfire classic tube vs sunfire symphonic referenc My understanding is the Symphonic gear is Sunfire's budget line. I only know that the Sunfire classic tube gets very good reviews.You should look in the archives.Wow, you have a nice system. | |
| Tube dampers/coolers effect on preamp sound? "I have heard one person say that they heard a reduction in openness and soundstage when using a damper. Any opinions of this?"Results may vary on each system; I haven't heard, that but I know from experience that postion of the damper on the glas... | |
| Tube dampers/coolers effect on preamp sound? I also use Herbie's Tube Dampers in my preamp (4 tubes) and the result was a tighter bass. | |
| Beethoven Symphonies - best perf + sonics on CD thanks, Brownsfan... the reviewers on Amazon are also recommending the Red Seal. And since you are a gentleman and a scholar, I'll go for it. | |
| Subsonic filter noise?? Could the answer be as simple as the TT does not have enough isolation? I mean that vibration or sound waves travel thru the furniture/rack, then reach the TT, cart, and tonearm.Maybe u have already treated this area, I'm just taking a stab in the... | |
| Beethoven Symphonies - best perf + sonics on CD A point well taken Brownsfan, but I can hear a lot of Haydn in Beethoven's 1 and 2. | |
| Beethoven Symphonies - best perf + sonics on CD Can somebody point me toward the best sounding remasters of Toscanini(Redbook)? I'm looking to try out a few single releases, not a box set. | |
| Beethoven Symphonies - best perf + sonics on CD "Beethoven's metronome was indeed just fine, and he really did intend for the tempos to be that quick."I would agree and being a student of Haydn, Beethoven's early symphonies would probably be at a similar quick tempo. |
