| Early digital recordings on vinyl vs. CD? Often, the extreme macro dynamics are the most distinctive feature about most early digital recordings on vinyl such as several from Telarc that I recall compared to others, including same recordings on CD, where the format puts a limit on dynamic... | |
| Fuses that matter. Bryon, Next go round try the liquid fuses that i have seen advertised here of late. Just be sure to not spring a leak. If you can't hear much difference with that one then i would punt for sure. I would expect a sound that is more, how to describe... | |
| Magico Q7 . . . wow I want to hear weasels in carnegie hall. "rzzzzz" | |
| Name your 5 favorite Led Zeppelin tracks. Physical graffiti: favorite album.There i made a decision albeit not the one asked for. | |
| recommendations for tube dampers??? I look at them as an insurance policy. The purpose is to reduce or eliminate microphonics which is a form of noise, not signal. Audio research seems to provide dampers with installed tubes and provide them with low noise tube replacement for the p... | |
| Fuses that matter. Bryon, I nominate you for the next nobel fuse prize! :-) Nice job. | |
| $$$Sensitive Speakers with $$Amps? ".. its nice to have some dynamic range available, even if it does not get used all that much."Not just dynamic range (difference between loudest and lowest levels) but headroom in general to go loud as needed even if the dynamic range is compress... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? "I find that I forget about right speaker/left speaker as it becomes completely irrelevant."To take that a bit further, once dialed in the physical location of the speakers may be totally disassociated with the soundstage and location of things in... | |
| Magico Q7 . . . wow Assuming I could afford them (bad assumption currently with two kids still to go to college) before I would make a final judgement on their value/performance, I would have to hear them on some different systems.I think even my modest Minimus 7s wo... | |
| $$$Sensitive Speakers with $$Amps? Trelja,Its not clear to me what is the criteria by which you assess the SET versus push pull with the back-loaded horns.At what volumes are you comparing? Are you saying the SETs go both louder and clearer than the push-pulls? How about at lower v... | |
| Analytical or Musical Which way to go? No sound from speakers without amp.Amp got it easy without a source.No hear sound without ears, brain.My ears look funny. How about yours? When I cup my hands behind them everything becomes more musical! Cheap tweak! Girls laugh though. Bummer!How... | |
| Idol fans weigh in "I thought this was a hard core Hifi Club!"I get tired of talking about fuses and such sometimes.I'm a big Julianna Hough fan actually. I keep hoping she'll make another cameo appearance!Plus, hey it is live music of a sort that many watch, listen... | |
| Idol fans weigh in I bet my wife $50 that joshua would go, not philip. She loves philip but knew joshua was the real tning. Its now a demographic rerun of the year taylor hicks won. | |
| How do you judge your system's neutrality? Sound effects of things that you are familiar with in real life make good tests. We may never know exactly how the beatles sounded in the studio for reference but there are many sounds of nature and society we might know when we hear. Logitech squ... | |
| Why does better power = better sound? "They laugh at what we spend to improve the power, yet they aren't getting the sound from their gear that they paid good money for.They would rather flip amps and gear on a continuing basis,never having really heard the gear they own running the w... |
