| Hi-End for Black Metal? 2chnlben,Couldn't agree with you more. I honestly tried to listen to that estonian band linked here, as well, as many examples of the genre, that my nephew and his friend tried to feed me with- it all sounds utterly the same, low quality of musici... | |
| 6H30 tubes ringing in BAT VK-300SE That's just a microphony, which is inherent to many types of tubes, and there is little you can do about it, no should you. It doesn't affect the sound, and only happens, when the tube is mechanically "disturbed", when you switch inputs, for insta... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Opus88,Glad to hear from you, and that you are happy with your current preamp. I moved on, as well, with no regrets, just $2000 lighter, and a little bit wiser. | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Whoah,Fiddler, I expected nothing less, than just such a response.Before I comment any further, please, refer to page 57 of this very thread, post, initiated by Opus88 on 03/13/07, and the following discussion.Pjwd is disrespectful in dismissing o... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Pjwd,At this point all I can say is this- dude, go calibrate your ears and be a little be more respectful talking to adults. | |
| You're probably listening too loud I agree with Trelja on everything he said.I typically listen b/w 85-88 dB, peaks at about 90-92 dB.Below these levels, it's simply not exciting enough for me.Listening fatigue, like Trelja said, has more to do with some frequency aberrations, than... | |
| Jethro Tull questions... I'm not all that familiar with Fairport Convention music, but I do like Richard Thompson, and find many similarities b/w him and Anderson, as composers | |
| Jethro Tull questions... Markphd,I agree with you on Anderson's creativity and his versatility. I don't think "A" and "Under Wraps" are inferior musically, it's just not my taste now.Back when they just came out, I did like them both. Now, that 80s sound is a thing of the... | |
| Jethro Tull questions... Late again,And that's my favorite band. I've been to pretty much every show in Phila. area since the early 90s, his solo with an orchestra included.The last year's 40th Anniversary Tour show was the best by far.As to their recordings- I can't name... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Tvad,Got you. I know you didn't discuss sibilance. I'm not even sure that's the right term to use. But it was colored.My subjective impression was, that no matter, what I put in front, or after Supratek, the whole system sounded like Supratek, it ... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Lrsky, I did misspelled- busy at work. I'm actually a physician, believe it or not.Tvad, I didn't say there is something wrong with the coloration, it's that I didn't like that particular one.And yes, it did sound exciting. | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Goatwuss, Arkio,There is no need for an argument about coloration. Here is my explanation why. Nature didn't create us all equal, as you know, some of us are white, some black, some are brown, some are tall, some are smart, and there are some, who... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Stiltskin,You are right to a certain degree- I made my decision solely based on this thread, when I first bought Chenin.Then the whole sibilance issue became my reality. I tried to deal with it by all possible means- NOS tubes, room treatments, su... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Lrsky,This thread and reactions to my post are very indicative of a bigger phenomenon, that permeates our society on different levels.It just makes me to reiterate my initial statement- I have to re-evaluate my position on reviews and opinions pos... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Kgturner,To be exact, I said "maybe even resold them, I don't know", and if he did, hopefully not as new. |
