| Real world Loudspeakers what does very good cost ? I've found audio expos to be a good place to hear many speakers and speaker types at once. No matter the upstream components, or the room setup, you should be able to get a feel for types -- e.g., box speakers, open baffles, panels, horns etc. an... | |
| Is soundstage DEPTH a myth? I had a recording studio for 10 years and I can assure you that to a recording engineer, soundstage depth is "a thing." Depending on the band and the source material, I worked very hard to create an illusion of soundstage depth using several well... | |
| Is soundstage DEPTH a myth? Talking about differences of amps, they jumped on me pretty hard too. Their king is anything from Purifi/Hypex. Last week I talked about how system synergy is important and I got absolutely destroyed. I'll never go back there again, it is not a p... | |
| Is soundstage DEPTH a myth? The answers from you guys are, yes soundstage depth is real. The only question left is would people experience it regularly or with just a few rare pieces of music? Because of what I listen to, I recognize imaging, soundstage and depth most alw... | |
| Is soundstage DEPTH a myth? I didn't want to go to the cost angle. But yes, to move sonically from mid-tier hifi, one must spend some bucks to enter sonically into the true high end. This isn't dollar value related alone, but is attributable to a certain dollar value. My... | |
| Is soundstage DEPTH a myth? Many years ago, I was fortunate to run across a local audio store owner who was much more of a hobbyist than a businessman. I had many discussions and spent may happy hours of listening and more importantly, learning in his store with him and his... | |

| Passion, or ..... Precision? I too have found many rock recordings to be grating and fatiguing. It all depends upon the recording quality. Re. the DCS Bartok comment: After owning a DCS Rossini, I’m sure that the Bartok isn't a problem, except for someone who prefers som... | |
| Choosing new cables After my above post, I recalled using the following website as a primer (if you will) for making cable selections for auditioning purposes: Audio Bacon Obviously, like all reviews, the outcome is subject to the reviewer's ancillary equipment, r... | |
| An interesting experience with power cable. As can be said for most audio equipment, there are so many cable manufacturers (both single person businesses and larger corporate ones) and models within, that finding a place to start a cable quest is difficult. I found the following site and t... | |
| Choosing new cables As far as IC's are concerned, I have tried Jade. They were very good and as such, may be difficult to exceed, even now, without spending perhaps much more, or not, as the case may be. Cost and auditioning results, rarely correlate. I did a fai... | |
| Fee for home audition Over the decades and many in-home auditions, I have never paid to take an audio component home, nor paid to test drive an automobile🤔😉. | |
| Name 3 songs where audio quality and song quality completely align Depending upon my minute-by-minute attitude, mood etc., an incalculable number of the tracks on my 18TB hard drive would be applicable. It is as impossible to pick just 3-tracks, as it is meaningless to try. It would be like trying to predict wha... | |
| Class H amps? As an aside, an audio buddy is using a pair of Benchmark AHB2 Power Amplifiers to drive his SoundLab electrostatic speakers to great effect. Benchmark's specs state it: “combines class-AB, and class-H topologies, using a feed-forward error correc... | |
| Post “Three Blind Mice” Japanese Jazz The other plus, is that the 5-TBM albums I have are excellently recorded!! |
