| Solid State for Rock and Tubes for Jazz, Yes or No One other thing I was reading about damping factor is that damping factor can have an effect on frequency response in that speaker impedance can vary greatly by frequency and hence also the damping effects. Similar to discussions often found about... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? $185/pair during the sale for these Cam 16s sounds like a no brainer to me for anyone in the market for a good "cheap pair of speakers" as Billy Joel once said. I've almost picked up a pair of one of the CAM line on several occasions used on Ebay.... | |

| Who is Most Beautiful female singer ever I might have to join the Alizee movement.Nice policies! | |
| Sealed vs. Ported Speakers "Are ported speakers inherently inferior to sealed speakers?"No.Like most things, it all depends the devil is in the details. Generalized conclusions will generate debate but not hold water in all cases. The best/right speaker in any particular ca... | |
| Why do I like the Denon 103r so much? " I have an audiobuddy who has used one quite successfully on tonearms with an effective mass of 12g."Thats more like what the Linn Basik on my Axis turntable is as well (medium mass), from what I recall when I went through the process of trying t... | |
| My JL Audio sub is dead. What exactly happened? Hopefully, whatever the problem is is isolated to one device but I wonder why there was NO sound including from the speakers? Might the sub have been mainly a victim of something else upstream? If you jostled wires in the process the second time, ... | |
| Solid State for Rock and Tubes for Jazz, Yes or No "I will never claim that my gear is "genre sensitive" or it's OUTTA HERE. "I hear you and feel the same way in that I listen to all kinds of music and want it all to be completely satisfying to me all the time, soft, loud or whatever (recording pe... | |
| Solid State for Rock and Tubes for Jazz, Yes or No Charles,What I have seen/heard to date with sets is consistent with your assessment and I would tend to agree. Rock music is meant to be played/heard loud but some may not care for that so it is not an issue then.Of course peaks on orchestral and ... | |
| Why do I like the Denon 103r so much? Assuming one already has the suitable phono section for a low output MC cart like the 103R, my 80's vintage Linn Axis table with stock Linn Basik tonearm does amazingly well with the 103R. 103R + used Linn Axis in good condition if you can find on... | |
| What Does Holographic Sound Like? Sabai,THe only thing more I can offer regarding holographic sound at this point is an outstanding offer to come hear mine someday if you are ever in the area. Cheers! | |

| Who is Most Beautiful female singer ever Katherines Jenkins or McPhee are both quite lovely.No Beyonce (standard answer these days) or J'lo fans out there? | |
| Solid State for Rock and Tubes for Jazz, Yes or No Not to say it cannot be done, but I have yet to hear a SET amp do rock/pop well, at least on the usual terms of rock/pop music which is different than much classical, jazz.At shows, when SETs and high efficiency horns have been featured, the demos... |
