| whats the best addition u have bought for system USblues,If you have a broadband internet connection, pick up a Roku Soundbridge for internet radio. You'll be rolling in better than FM sounding Jazz and anything else your interested in from around the world. Use an Audioquest G Snake stereo mini... | |
| Help with Low Level hum in phono Problem solved.Someone on another thread had the same problem. The nearby stacked amp was causing the hum through some sort of inductance.So similarly, I put about 15" between amp and pre-amp and voila...the hum is gone. | |
| Holographic imaging " I have found that putting sound out in front of the plane of the speakers is more related to speaker design (I have only experienced this phenom with a horn/cone hybrid and it a general soundfield attached to most recordings. But it was fascinat... | |
| Will new Class D trump a vintage Class A/AB? Interesting. I had high hopes for the Onkyo. Glad to hear it panned out. Thanks for sharing. | |
| Holographic imaging I have been strongly considering trying a real tube pre on my system. I prefer the tube voiced output on my SS Carver pre to the SS one on my system currently. I'm thinking it could add a useful ingredient to my audio soup, maybe just a small pinc... | |
| Holographic imaging TBg,Believe me I'm not interested in arguing either, but realize that the definition I provided is not mine, I'm just sharing it. Take it for whatever its worth. I'm just trying to help provide some clarity in terminology where it exists so as to ... | |
| Holographic imaging Back to Dazzdax original inquiry, I suspect the tube-associated artifact in question is not holographic imaging and more likely what is commonly referred to as "bloom". I don't think that holographic imaging is an artifact of tubes at all. Bloom o... | |
| Holographic imaging Newbee,My eyes tell me that I would also much prefer to see Penelope Cruz.Hopefully my eyes are not as deluded as many seem to think are my ears. | |
| is too large a room no good? Tonywinsc,I agree. Its nice to have a large and small room to provide different diametrically opposed listening experiences, if possible. | |
| Holographic imaging TBG,Agreed that there is a thrill to realism in an outstanding performance. | |
| Holographic imaging Newbee,I'm undetered because I've heard a lot of variations of very good live and reproduced sound over the years and know that there are many ways to skin a cat. We each make our own best informed choices. | |
| Holographic imaging Tvad,I'm probably more in the first camp in terms of how I set up my system, but the inherent flawed nature of many of the recorded musical performances that are my favorites forces me to be content in the second when needed. For example, I have n... | |
| Holographic imaging Tbg,Read the definition of holography and then listen to a pair of Ohms and then we can discuss whether or not it is holographic. | |
| Holographic imaging Actually, after reading the wiki definition of holography, it is probably a misnomer to call what the Carver circuit does "holography" because it only works when listening from on spot. You can't move around and get different perspectives.based on... | |
| Holographic imaging Dave,I'm not necessarily advocating Carver holography, although I think the processing it does makes sense, it works as advertised, take it or leave it, and the benefits can far exceed the disadvantages. In fact, I no longer use the circuit becaus... |
