| Why is solid state more popular when tubes are better? This kind of thread is the reason I spend less and less time on Audiogon. My best, MrD. | |
| Passive preamp OP, What do your ears tell you ? BTW, this topic has been discussed, ad nauseam. As some say, it can work, and as others say, it does not. As audphile 1 stated above, everything matters, and as he suggested, you can eliminate your Frida ( sorry, I... | |
| Steve Guttenberg finally reviews the Eminent Technology LFT-8b loudspeaker. Speakers ( and the room ) are the most specific of importance, in contributing to the sound one achieves, and it boils down to what you like, and what you want. I have owned Maggies, Apogee Duettas, and ML CLSs, and I understand why people love th... | |
| Poll: Most impactful component For me, it has been my Klipsch Lascalas. I did work on getting rid of the nasties inherent in the design, with great success, and they do everything I want them to do, connecting me with the musicianship / performance, of EVERY recording I listen ... | |
| Can you give me your speaker suggestions? If you still own the H3s, I would damp the mid horn, tweeter horn, and the woofer basket, with Dynamat, and use the factory enclosures. I would buy a Class A, ss amp ( I can recommend a few if you go in this direction ), and if you like tubes, use... | |
| running 2 of the same amps into 1 pair of speakers [ first watt J2's] To the OP......If your speakers are bi-wirable / bi-amp able ( have 4 connectors on the back, 2 for bottom end and 2 for mid/top end ), 2 identical amps, as the pair of Js, would be best off to passively, vertically bi-amp. One amp per speaker. On... | |
| Been intrigued by this power amp since it was introduced. Yes, another " D " thread. So, I did have a Warp One here for a couple of months ( bought new from Wally ), and, I did not like it in my system. My best bud also bought one...and he loves it. The only " D " amp I have not tried, still, is a GAN. I am currently enjoying, imm... | |
| Sat front row at the symphony... @frogman ....+1..... the " playing " of the instruments, through the conductor's direction, is why I attend performances. I listen for the playing, through my rig, as well. My best. MrD | |
| Why are these called 5 way binding posts? I count four! It was explained to me many years ago by an amp manufacturer, whom I forget, because you were able to use a spade ( or loop/hole ) to the shaft, and a banana plug, simultaneously........Is this true ? I am only repeating what I heard. MrD. | |
| Sat front row at the symphony... @viber6 , my friend.....as always, your personal listening experiences are yours, and that is all....yours. Your system, as good as you feel it is, would not satisfy me, the way my system satisfies me, as I look for and appreciate other important ... | |
| Sat front row at the symphony... If we go back to the start of the thread and read the original post by mikeydee, I believe the statement was all about the enjoyment, and the " impact " the experience made to him. We come to the argument that the best seat in the house is at the ... | |
| Best musician in the world? For those into electric guitar, check out Matteo Mancuso..... | |
| IcePower1200AS: Who has heard or has them, with what system components? Do you love them? @tweak1...I tried a Warp One ( purchased new from Underwood ), and I was quite disappointed with it. A buddy of mine purchased one, and he loves it. | |
| Sat front row at the symphony... @mikeydee , " He used dynamics in his band ". AB & the JMs must have been a wonderful experience as well. Every live, unamplified performance of any kind of music I experienced, showed an amazing amount of dynamics, which has not been duplicat... | |
| Sat front row at the symphony... Dynamics, both micro and macro, are truly an important and major characteristic of music reproduction, live, and through an audio rig. I am not speaking of rock concert loud ( which can be distorted to the ears ).......As the op says, to be able t... |
