Your Side by Side Experience With Best Vintage vs Newer Expensive Hi Tech Speakers
Hi phusis"It seems that neither era will come to a fuller fruition, and hence an overall advance to truly speak of, unless the hallmarks of each are combined - that is, for physics to be accommodated while technology joins along."BINGO!This is why... 
Missing the forest for the trees

Your Side by Side Experience With Best Vintage vs Newer Expensive Hi Tech Speakers
Ok Kosst, lets look at this through your glasses then."Flexibility? Most speakers these days are intended and quite content to not be driven by electronics with tone controls."Really? Name one."Does anybody even build speakers with tone controls b... 
Are We Different?
I'm glad to see more of these types of topics being started on not just this forum but many others. There's a change happening and there's really no way to stop it, nor should we want to. Even the very opinionated HEA hobbyist is rethinking their ... 
Missing the forest for the trees
It’s such a great hobby and so full of personal passion that many hobbyist become tied to their system as if it were alive (like a close friend). I have always been that way and enjoy each encounter like a kid at Christmas, I think most do. I also... 
Changes that made a difference (in order of effect).
There is nothing like getting your system tuned in. Whether you do it for an overall sound or even the guys who tune in each recording, like myself most of the time.a great thread, and tons of funMichael Greenwww.michaelgreenaudio.net 
A Budget Amp Comparison
Hi LoomisThanks, I appreciate that! Yep, my point may have been taken a little out of context by cj. Or I wasn't being clear enough. I can also see why folks would get rattled when that sales pitch line gets rolling. Sometimes it's hard to see exc... 
A Budget Amp Comparison
Hi snapscThat question can probably be answered from a few points of view. Most of my clients I would say, have either had it with HEA or suspect there is something wrong with this HEA picture. Or have heard about me and what I do, either by readi... 
A Budget Amp Comparison
Hi LoomisYes the rx4105. Here's a thread putting it into context. If you back up a page you will see what he replaced. http://tuneland.forumotion.com/t415p50-lattis-systemMichael Greenwww.michaelgreenaudio.net 
A Budget Amp Comparison
Hi cjSorry about that. I tune all mine and clients systems, it's what I do and have done for 30 some years, so it's kind of weird for me to refer to any component without it's sonic context. It would be like you talking about your speakers without...

Hi vinny55I want to answer your question about tables but first I’d like to make a comment about the other fella’s post. KosstIt might be helpful if I introduce myself to you. My name is Michael Green. I work in the acoustical, mechanical and elec... 
Your Side by Side Experience With Best Vintage vs Newer Expensive Hi Tech Speakers
Hi VinnyI know there are some old schoolers around, but most of them have moved on from High End Audio since the push for "discrete" in the mid 90's. Most newer speakers (including drivers) are far less musical than the older speakers. You can evi... 
A Budget Amp Comparison
I have Audolici, Accuphase, Luxman, Audio Note, Rotel, Creek, Jolida, Marantz, Parasound, Technics and a few others, and the best sleeper amp out there right now is a receiver believe it or not. This is proof that mid-fi has caught up to High End ...

Jolida Integrated or Rogue Integrated MAgnus Cronus II
Two totally different sounding animals. I tune both of them. When you say "Tubular Bells" I think Jolida 1501 all day long. Get the 1501, take off the top cover, put it up on tuning blocks, low mass power cord, Picasso Type2 interconnect and float...
