| A continuation of the best musician thread I appreciate the comment. There are many instrumental bands which do not contain vocalists. I was a vocalist myself in my youth, and appreciate vocalists as much as anyone. I am a fusion guy, and bands like Return to Forever did not have a vocalis... | |
| Tube sound is not about warmth. It's about correct presentation. I am not sure what one means about presentation. When I play my system, and I will use in this case, a fav recording of mine, A Tribute To Jack Johnson, the presentation is all about hearing the band members do their thing, the written composition... | |
| All Pre 1970 Vintage speakers suck! Prove me wrong I have a pair of Radio Shack Mach 3, which was the totl for Tandy at that time. I do not recall a model Mach 5. Damped the horns, rebuilt the crossovers, upgraded the woofers, and they are ok, actually...with the right amplifier. The AR3A speakers... | |
| All Pre 1970 Vintage speakers suck! Prove me wrong This " lion " guy is pretty pompous, ignorant, and possibly hard of hearing. Maybe he is kenjit in disguise. | |
| Question: What are some of your best pieces of advise to someone new to the hobby? However you go about it ( listening to as much gear / systems as possible, with your favorite music, is the best way, ime ), you will need to determine " what are your listening preferences ", those qualities and characteristics in recorded music,... | |

| The use of digital pitch correction software on vocal recordings Two YTbers I follow, Rick Beato and Fil of Wings of Pegasus, have videos talking about auto tune ( others too ). Very enlightening and educational, if so interested. Our recordings that we listen to, are vastly manipulated by the folks involved wh... | |
| One key to building great systems over time. @ghdprentice , I should have stated " $6 figure + systems ", as I have a multi thousand dollar system. Your home, and systems, look very nice. I am familiar with AR running SF, and it is truly a most enjoyable presentation. This is the beauty of o... | |
| One key to building great systems over time. @ghdprentice I am not here to argue, disagree, or judge. I am stating a fact, based on my interactions with people in the business, as well as consumers. And yes, I started this hobby in the early 60’s, so my timeline is similar. Say what you will... | |
| One key to building great systems over time. The meaning of " audiophile " is a person who is enthusiastic about high fidelity sound. There is no further distinction between those who listen to the music, or those that listen to the equipment. I communicate with many listeners, and more and ... | |
| One key to building great systems over time. When I was an active audio consultant, I felt it was my job to help the listener understand the various differences between components, such as tubes vs ss, box, panel, horn speakers, etc. and determine what the listener’s preferences are, based o... | |
| Hattor Audio preamps? I own the totl Luminous Audio, 3 in, 2 out, single ended, with remote volume, and it has been the most neutral of all passives I have tried, including many of those mentioned above. My best, MrD. | |
| 1954 Klipschorn Sound Reproducer value??? Paul Klipsch, at the beginning, sold them as a single speaker, because of the abundance of monophonic recordings of that time. My best, MrD. | |
| Help, Frustrated with Horn output You can try the battery test. Connect a 9v ( what I use ) ( or an AA, C, or D battery straight to the tweeter, bypassing the crossover, and see if it stays on. This will tell you if it is or not the tweeter. My best, MrD. | |
| ? about Smoking Power Amp The cost of a tech’s repair might be more than the value of the amp, so that must be considered. I have several amps in my collection that would sell below $200., and they all work great. But if 1 of them failed and I could not do the repair mysel... |
