| Audio Research Reference CD-7 i was considering the arc, having heard it several times at ces, in the audio research room. i also auditioned it at the home of the analysis audio importer.i have not observed any special attribute regarding bass response and its reliance on one ... | |
| What makes up an hi darkkeys:there is no guarantee that accurate will be pleasant and there is no guarantee pleasant will be accurate. the recording and the stereo system can contribute to a pleasant sound.if a stereo system is minimally inaccurate, there will be ... | |
| classic sounding 25 watt tube amp it looks like the conrad johnson mv 45, although it is more powewrful than i originally intended, is my first choice, followed by the vtl tiny triodes. | |
| AMR Cd77-Upgrade i suggest you call the distributor, darren censullo of avatar acoustics. | |
| classic sounding 25 watt tube amp i spoke to steve leung about the vas cs 2. he said they are neutral and not tube-like in the classic sense.i spoke to roger majeski about the rm 10. he also suggested that he designs amps with very little harmonic distortion. i owned an rm 9 and w... | |
| What makes up an it's a good thing that i have a thick skin, so i can absorb all of the brick bats thrown at me and come back.let me make my position perfectly clear as applies to this and other threads.i am a an iconoclast because i disagree with what i see as do... | |
| What makes up an this hobby has psychological underpinnings. i can't ascribe motivations to anyone but myself. i am an iconoclast. you may disagree with me, but i believe there are audiophiles who feel insecure if they consider there stereo system not "high-end". ... | |
| What makes up an does anyone feel insecure if one's stereo system does not satisfy the requirements for the designation "high end" ?"status is one thing, enjoying one's stereo system may be another. | |
| The closest approach...really there is one "fly in the ointment". that is the recording.recording quality varies. if one is trying to attain a semblance of natural timbre, one has to carefully select recordings, as benchmarks.since the sound of recordings is unknown, the best ... | |
| The closest approach...really hi detlof:i like your approach of assessment by committee. however, if it were possible to remove the potential for misperception, namely, the human brain, the result would be an improvement.measurement to the rescue ??what about something as simp... | |
| What makes up an if the stereo system as a whole is to be assessed as to its merits, assuming that each component satisfies some standards of construction, some objective criteria for performance is necessary.again, it is easier to specify standards than to specif... | |
| The closest approach...really hi detlof:sorry about the spelling. i agree with you in principle regarding evaluation of stereo systems.let me add that preference and accuracy of timbre may be two different conditions.however, even as a reviewer, while i discuss inaccuracy of t... | |
| Vincent Audio i own a vincent cd s6. it uses three tubes, a 12ax7, a 6922 and a 12au7 for the headphone.it is a typical 24/96 modern tube sounding component. there is some tube sensitivity.i am having the metal film resistors replaced as well as the solen and o... | |
| The closest approach...really hi detlf:there are two issues. objective quality, which you so aptly stated should be dependent upon how closely the performance of a stereo system approaches live music.there is also subjective quality, which is basically opinion based upon prefe... | |
| What makes up an there should be some objective criteria, including construction and parts. there should also be some standards of performance.otherwise, it becomes a matter of opinion.for example, i don't consider an oppo dvd player as "high end". however, there ... |
