| Headphone question I do not have SR-60s but do have px100 II and px 200 II. One open back one sealed but both with similar Sennheiser tonality.I also have over ear Sennheiser Momentum phones which bump up the low end a tad for the masses but otherwise are typical ... | |
| Neutral electronics are a farce... Atmasphere do you know if the MLP label recordings were "inverted"?I've never heard anything about that. My understanding is they have the "holographic imaging" the best ones do because they were miked very simply for that (2 or 3 mikes for na... | |
| Neutral electronics are a farce... Its interesting that phase inversion tricks often result in most "holographic" recordings.There have been various gadgets over the years that add this in some form. I had a Omnisonic Imaging device many years ago, also a pre-amp with Carver sonic ... | |
| Headphone question Why not just record with no EQ and have a recording that is same as original? If source is Ortofon cart recording should be no brighter or different than otherwise, right?Or if the cart is too bright to start, maybe something can be done there.Onc... | |
| I am somewhat amazed that there is no thread dealing with Star Sound Tech's devices I've never used but if they've been around a long time and have a big following that speaks for itself.Looks like some nice products in the line. Might consider someday if needed. So far the product lines I have used and found effective for tre... | |
| Headphone question Bondman, Are you applying equalization or any other processing during the recording?There are many reasons why monitored sound might not sound or be an accurate representation of what is recorded, so I would hesitate to draw conclusions on that un... | |
| Has anyone heard the new North American products preamp and amp? Roger, Can you tell us where your amps are made and who does the manufacturing?Also do you keep an inventory and what is the wait period?Thanks. | |
| Has anyone heard the new North American products preamp and amp? Asking questions to better understand is not obfuscating. It's a public thread. You an try to bully but you don't get to dictate the contents. Buy some paid advertising for that. | |
| Neutral electronics are a farce... Wolf, get some good omni/radial speakers and problem solved.I've heard Decware radials work well with tube amps. | |
| Neutral electronics are a farce... wolf there are some among us apparently who can do all that with confidence. The "X-Men" of audio per-se? :^) | |
| Neutral electronics are a farce... One can assume a very generic definition of neutral in regards to sound and say that if it generally sounds like the real thing its neutral whereas if not it has some unique aspect to the sound, FBOFW. Vanilla ice cream versus other flavors essent... | |
| Considering Wilson or Sonus Faber floor standing over my Rockport monitors & Wisdom Sub I think I saw Rockport running tube amps at CAF a few years back as well, but they were very big, very esoteric and very expensive. I’m sure most anything would have sounded very good with those amps. The system seemed to perform very well by audi... | |
| These Moody Blues Will Knock Your Socks Off! He had other interests. He was regarded as a technical expert on the mellotron for example back in its heyday having worked for the company that manufactured it My understanding is he experienced a lot of success and just decided to move on t... | |
| Considering Wilson or Sonus Faber floor standing over my Rockport monitors & Wisdom Sub I don't think any speakers mentioned (Rockport, Wilson SF) are inherently designed for best performance with a tube amp. Using a powered sub currently to offload work from the main amp and speakers is a good approach to address that on paper if d... | |
| Tannoy? tannoy is probably the largest and oldest brand that I have never had an opportunity to give a serious listen to. On paper, I like them a lot.Wondering if people in US find them a worthwhile value these days? |
