| Importance of Soundstage/Imaging No can do. They are all important. Doing them all along with coherence in particular can be a challenge. This is where I think the OHM Walsh speakers I tend to prefer excel. They pretty much have it all (when set up well).I have Dynaudio monitors ... | |
| What Does Holographic Sound Like? "My impression of Geoff is that everything he says or does is for the purpose of remaining an enigma in every way shape or form. "ALso, I believe that this services the brand identity of his business entity, Machina Dyamica. Assuming this, then I ... | |
| What Does Holographic Sound Like? My impression of Geoff is that everything he says or does is for the purpose of remaining an enigma in every way shape or form. I suppose that has appeal to some. But being an enigma in general does not build confidence or trust, two key ingredien... | |
| Solid State for Rock and Tubes for Jazz, Yes or No I run two different SS amps in two systems.My main system uses Bel Canto Reference 1000m Class D monoblocks, 500w/ch, with a tube pre-amp friendly 100 kohm input impedance (unbalanced), 1000 damping factor fed from ARC sp16 tube pre-amp driving la... | |
| Fuses that matter. "This much of an investment in tweaks is throw away money compared to my system"I suppose it depends on how valuable the difference is, is there a cheaper way to accomplish the same results, and how much throw away money one has. | |
| Solid State for Rock and Tubes for Jazz, Yes or No Wolf,I guess my point in a nutshell is that all music can be done well either way if done right. Its what it takes to do it right that matters. The devil as usual is in the details. I find impedance matching considerations most important for elect... | |
| Why do my rolling stones albums sound bad? Most of their 70's + later studio recordings I have heard (I've heard most but not all) are decent to quite good I would say. Exile is a unique case, more like those early Chess Records like recordings, which BTW have a unique sonic charm of their... | |
| Why do my rolling stones albums sound bad? Agree with Loomis. | |

| What Does Holographic Sound Like? If it sounds good, it sounds good. Record producers do whatever they want to do in the interest of what they consider to be a good product. Nothing wrong with the listener doing the same as needed to deliver the sound they seek. Lots of ways to do... | |

| Solid State for Rock and Tubes for Jazz, Yes or No Tubes have bass, but often characteristically different sounding than SS due to higher output impedance. More attention must be paid to matching tube gear all the way up the chain. Higher impedance speakers (true 8 ohm or higher, somewhat rare) ar... | |
| WHAT GOOD IS SPEAKER AND CABLE IMPEDANCE ANYWAY? Rower you look to have a very nice system. Did the i formation you are relating help you to chose it? HOW? THANKS. If i understand how to apply the info you relate maybe my enjoyment level can go up. I am all for that! | |
| What Does Holographic Sound Like? My mind is open.... And yet to spill out..... | |
| Solid State for Rock and Tubes for Jazz, Yes or No Ive heard zu with a flea powered set amp fall short with rock music. More power might have done it. |
