| Importance of Soundstage/Imaging I agree with mezmo that many of these attributes are interdependant on each other. ALl speaker setups have a timbre for example, good or bad, liked or not. ALl the rest are a bit more elusive and happen perhaps more in perceivable degrees, whereas... | |
| What Does Holographic Sound Like? "In other words, IMO, "holographic" sound is less about ACCURACY relative to the recording and more about REALISM relative to what instruments and performers actually sound like."Bryon, that's a very good way to say it (as usual). Its also a good ... | |
| 30 Years of Perfect Sound? "I'm still not sold on his premise that 44.1/16 is enough bits, as I've heard some pretty great 96/24 stuff, but I have to say that I've heard A LOT of great 44.1/16 stuff too."I think there may be some cases where more is better, but I do think t... | |
| Problem with lower frequency bass. Please advise. Trium:which MF integrated specifically do you use? Tube or SS?I used a SS MF A3CR power amp with similar power rating with my Dyn Contour Monitors for awhile. The performance was adequate but not optimal in the bass. One can do better.

| WHAT RECORDINGS MAKE YOUR SYSTEM SHINE? Agree with Zman. This is the place for audiophiles curious about MEtallica to start. | |
| mark knophler Chet Atkins is one of Knopflers role models. That might explain his laid back demeanor.BTW, I could listen to any CHet Atkins all day anytime. Not too many artists out there I could say that about. | |
| What Does Holographic Sound Like? Chad, I find different IC will effect how soundstage/imaging occurs in different ways but I do not know if one is inherently better than another in any particular case. Like most tweaks, I think it depends.I know what you are saying about the MIT ... | |
| 30 Years of Perfect Sound? Markh,Now I am curious, why the interest in this particular article?Thanks. | |
| WHAT GOOD IS SPEAKER AND CABLE IMPEDANCE ANYWAY? Rower,Thanks for that detailed information. Its obvious you've put a lot of thought into your design and applied the science in a useful manner! Nice job!I agree that good application of science will get you in the ballpark a lot faster and probab... | |
