| Soundstaging and Imaging: Not an Illusion Is Gk off his meds again today? | |
| Dick Dale Very sad to hear that. Big Dick Dale fan here! I saw him in concert in a small ballroom venue a few years back. Besides putting on an awesome performance he stayed and chatted with us after the concert. His is the only concert photo I have up in m... | |
| Is There a Speaker for Me/Impossible Requirements? (budget: $2000) I've always thought Sennheiser phones and Ohm Walsh speakers have an overall more laid back sonic similarity along the lines you indicate appeal to you FWIW. I've had several of each. The Ohms still draw me in best overall. | |
| Why no Class D integrated love? (from manufacturers) I listen to the beautiful totally engaging music they produce effortlessly with my big Ohm F5s or any other speaker I choose at any volume I choose, without ever breaking a sweat. I also run a pair of Kef ls50s off them in a smaller room (along w... | |
| Why no Class D integrated love? (from manufacturers) C5i is all digital. Analog inputs are converted to digital. My only reservation is I wish it were more than 60w/ch. The Bel Canto ref1000m Class D amps in my main rig are 500w/ch. Dark side? Could be. In what way? Going digital? I haven’t arriv... | |
| How many brands use own drivers? KEF UniQ | |

| Lets replace my Klipsch La Scala Speakers I find Klipsch speakers have a THEY are HERE, rather than YOU are THERE experience. Interesting comment that kinda rings true for me.I’ve been there and done "you are there" to my satisfaction for quite awhile now, but Klipsch continues to captur... | |
| Do any of your Rolling Stones recordings bring "Satisfaction"? "She’s So Cold" from Emotional Rescue is one of the more fun,straightforward, and finely polished Stone’s productions out there IMHO. Maybe my favorite Stones track these days. | |
| Amp "timing" ? Wolf, your mind is safe at least for now.... | |
| Amp "timing" ? Sound is essentially changes in air pressure over time so yes sound is directly time based and there are many factors in an amplifier (and speakers) that together can result in timing differences and differences in sound. A high degree of detail, ... | |
| Is this the real life, or just death on 2 legs? The thing I liked about Queen in their heyday, especially in hindsight, was they were willing and able to take chances and accomplished some great and unique things along the way as a result. Plus Freddie Mercury was a virtuoso singer and showman ... | |
| Is this the real life, or just death on 2 legs? I had a hunch your reading comprehension skills were pretty bad, but now I know for sure. Hey now! |
