| Paul McCartney 3 Will always give Sir Paul a shot but yes his voice ain’t what it used to be of late. I saw him live at FedEx Field with seats in the sweet spot a few years back. He had a good night vocally that night. But some bootlegs I’ve heard from other shows... | |
| I was not enjoying the performance until I ...... No self respecting audiophile would ever use EQ. Assaulting the room with treatments is much more fun and intrusive.DSP: that’s right out! | |
| Article: "Spin Me Round: Why Vinyl is Better Than Digital" Vinyl is a 100 year plus old flawed technology. People spend a fortune trying to address the flaws and still can never win because all records have flaws it’s just a matter of how many and how much.The packaging is better than ever though for thos... | |
| Tube imperfections I would just try the tube and see how it sounds and go from there. I had a mhdt Paradisea for awhile. The tube used made a big difference in the sound. The stock GE tube provided was a tad too warm and fuzzy for me. Not expensive to try differen... | |
| Can speakers cause mental illness? Kenjit talks about speakers a lot. Obsessed with them even. Maybe that’s all it takes. | |
| KEF ls50 meta’s are on the way Next topic I plan to cover when I get a chance is comparing the ls50 Meta/sub setup in one room (12X12) with the big Ohm 5 setup in the adjacent room (3-4 times as big, L shaped). Both run off same gear concurrently so this will be a fair compari... | |
| Can speakers cause mental illness? Yes kenjit is living proof of this. Beware! :-) | |
| KEF ls50 meta’s are on the way Ok Kenjit sounds good. See you then! Maybe by then you will decide if you really believe all speakers are the same or not. You appear quite torn on the topic at present. | |
| KEF ls50 meta’s are on the way Just had to add that “Sex God” from Liquid Soul’s exquisite “One-two Punch” album on Telarc label is pure ecstasy. Highly recommended! | |
| KEF ls50 meta’s are on the way I’m listening to various random tracks on the Metas. The adjective that comes to mind to describe the sound overall is “composed”. Everything sounds quite dynamic yet refined and controlled. No slop. The music just flows. Making me stay on my seat... | |
| Point of higher priced streamer? I’m not saying streamers can’t make a difference. Obviously they can. Only that in practice I have not found them to be a big factor compared to the other usual culprits. So at best a streamer upgrade alone is one of the last things I would cons... | |
| Point of higher priced streamer? No point regarding sound quality but does provide options that may appeal more to traditional hifi buyers. | |
| REVEL performa3 f208 or TEKTON Moab Watts are watts. But that will never stop some people from saying otherwise. Tube amps tend to soft clip. That is the big difference. Look it up. | |
| KEF ls50 meta’s are on the way Kenjit I actually have both. I can assure you they are not the same. So hate to say it but you are wrong there. Plain and simple, facts are facts. That’s all I have to say about that. | |
| KEF ls50 meta’s are on the way I am always interested in new products or technology that push the edge. But only if there is some technical meat presented to back up claims. Similarly, I have learned over the years to steer clear of products that make bold claims of technical ... |
