| Current amp vs Voltage amp I suppose everybody thinks their way is best, when in fact there always turns out to be many ways to skin the cat, including the means to superior sound quality, though personal preferences always determines what happens in the end.Economics, conv... | |
| Why do some audiophiles beat up McIntosh? McIntosh is probably the most iconic and sought after brand in high end audio.Success breeds contempt. | |
| Anyone try purple and orange with green CD edge? C'mon, Elizabeth + others, GEoff's new CD coloring product is only bidding for a buck here at present. Get'em while they're hot! Kid's would love it! Might be the ticket to get them interested in audio. | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? " I could be way off on this, but even the D-Sonic amps include a circuit board and other parts of the signal/power chain that are of Dennis' own selection (if not design)."Maybe, but I am under the impression that this is not the case from what I... | |
| What do you expect a reviewers system to be Well thought out and the reviewer is able to relate why that is.To me, its more about different and perhaps more attainable ways to achieve really good results than it is anymore about new products sounding better than ever before and BTW perhaps ... | |
| Tweak you gotta try. Post your results... My father used to run a scrap metal yard and had the best magnets ever. Big electromagnets that can pick up a car, like in a James Bond movie. NEver thought to try those with my stereo though! Hmmm..... | |
| Current amp vs Voltage amp "If that happens with less than 105 db, then its an indication that the system has some sort of odd ordered harmonic generation associated with its operation. A sound pressure level meter might be handy to sort out the actual volume level."Maybe, ... | |
| Current amp vs Voltage amp "I've picked some LP dogs that are so bad, the neighborhood dogs howl. And I don't think that's because of NF or impedance peaks or negative phase angles. Some recorded music just stinks."No doubt.Personally in my audio "journey" I have been in pl... | |
| Current amp vs Voltage amp HEy, look, if it weren't for fretting over how well every technical detail of one's system is working in theory compared to others, what else would one do? Listen to music and find out, maybe? | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? YEs, I thought the same thing regarding D-Sonic and JS/OHM.One downside with OHM that results is that many CLS drivers look the same on the outside but are different by design internally. That makes it very hard to know exactly what you are gettin... | |
| Current amp vs Voltage amp " Full range, quality high efficiency speakers tend to be big and expensive.I think you have blame the laws of physics for that!!! "WHo better to blame without a dispute? :^)Of course, Atmasphere's claim that negative feedback always makes an amp ... | |
| KEF LS50 Seik,Thanks for all that. Very informative!"This is hard to explain, but there is something about the Kefs that make you feel like the coherency between the driver and tweeter is better."I'd be willing to bet the concentric/point source driver con... | |
| Current amp vs Voltage amp One of the most interesting recent developments in audio to me is that newer high efficiency amplifiers at affordable price points now offer an alternative to easier to drive higher efficiency speakers, which is a popular current high end paradigm... | |
| Current amp vs Voltage amp ALso, shame on the high end audio industry for not making it easier for buyers to get the most out of these products. It would not be hard to come up with a quantitative system for the benefit of buyers to identify quality of amp/speaker matches. ... | |
| Current amp vs Voltage amp This is a great discussion about the factors that go into good sound from a technical perspective. Speaker/amp matching is perhaps the most important fundamental to get right first to achieve best results IMHO. Every system must have an amp and sp... |
