| How much reality do you really need? The performances jump out of the groves with my new cartridge today. Does it sound real?No, it will always be an electronic recreation.Do I care? NO | |
| Tube vs. Solid State Amplifiers The AGDs are transformative. Different from other Class D based on the only GAN MOSFET designed for Audio. Patented. Right now listening to an Opera recording. Never cared that much for it. I never wanted to hear all that screeching. Now hearing t... | |
| Tube vs. Solid State Amplifiers I learned a lot and radically improved my system after my AG thread,”Is there a SS amp that can satisfy a SET guy?”.I did discover a few and have forever moved away from 8 watts of 300B. I found a SS Class D amp that, with super low distortion and... | |
| Why did you choose the components and speakers that are in your system? In my current system, the TT was the inspiration for upgrading the whole thing. After looking for many years for a cherry rebuilt Garrard 301, I found a beautiful one built by Woodsong Audio. Being of very high quality, I upped my entire system to... | |
| My experience with bi-wiring A rather unique and clever way to bi-wire was invented by Jeff at Silversmith with his Fidelium speaker cables. The bi-wire addition is a jumper-like length of cable that connects the four binding posts in a "c". And the single wires connect to ha... | |
| So how can a great system solve less than great recordings For my analog only system, by getting more out of the groves, each upgrade improves my enjoyment. Surely, even unlistenable LPs prior sound good now and, yes, good recordings sound even better.This is the case for front end and other upgrades. | |
| So how can a great system solve less than great recordings Thanks audiorusty,I have always shied away from any signal processing. Even tone controls. I don't even have a separate phono stage using the one built in to my preamp. K.I.S.S. | |
| How much reality do you really need? dweller - This is usually the case. I know that each improvement in my system brings more appreciation and enjoyment. The upgrade process seems never ending and many who put more and more into their systems not only experience diminishing returns ... | |
| Specifications VS Sound Quality I still don’t understand the relationship between specifications and sound. Other then the bottom line that one really is not able to know the quality of a component without actually hearing. | |
| How much reality do you really need? noun1. the expression or application of human creative skill and imagination, typically in a visual form such as painting or sculpture, producing works to be appreciated primarily for their beauty or emotional power.A definition of Art.”appreciate... | |
| How much reality do you really need? “Reality is overrated”, “There is no reality”, “Everything is an illusion”,”A good system gets you halfway there”.Obviously, any electronic recreation of reality can be an artistic picture of reality. Nothing more.High End Audio is technically bas... | |
| So how can a great system solve less than great recordings Just celebrated my 50th year of audiophilia.With some luck, dedication and, gratefully, this Forum I have evolved my analog only system to a place where there is no such thing as an unlistenable record. All are enjoyable... some more than others.T... | |
| Class D amps that are superior to all or most? AGD are the ONLY amps in 50 years in that grab me in such a way that is near impossible to not listen. Now listening, it is very difficult to write these few words. | |
| Specifications VS Sound Quality I was prompted to start this thread by a friend who is as extremely knowledgeable Audio manufacturer and audiophile who looked at the specs of my new amp and said that it was one of the best amps of its class available. He also heard my rave comme... | |
| Is D for Dry? Class D... Doug Sax mastered with all tube boards.His work spoke for that. |
