| The best speaker you ever heard? there is no best speaker. if there were such a thing, it would be a cone design that sounds like an electrostat, full range ribbon, or other planar magnetic speaker.I remember the gradient 1.3. that was a wonderful speaker. | |
| I get 70 of the Live Symphony Experience at home i'll go with 10 %. what is especially missing in the timbral accuracy of instruments at a live performance. the recording doesn't help you capture the naturalness of timbre and then the stereo system adds its "errors".i think one should accept the... | |
| What does Jitter sound like? if anecdotal observations are not taken seriously, what is the purpose of asking for advice to assist in the purchase of components ?there are many threads on this and other discusssion forums asking for opinions on a variety of topics. the elicit... | |
| Tube sound with no tubes hi spaz:when you say tube sound, do you mean the classic tube sound, or the modern tube sound ?if you mean the former, there is no component in production which will provide this for you.if you mean the latter, the difference between tube and soli... | |
| martin logan vs magnepan sound beware of hybrid speakers. i have heard bg speakers. they sound like two different speakers. there is a loss of continuity because of the difference between cone and panel.i have observed this phenomenon with martin logans, vmps, innersound, sound... | |
| Ribbon tweeters/speakers recommendations Please there is another line called the mark and daniel, if you are seeking a stand mounted speaker.personally unless the speaker has other drivers which are similar to a ribbon, i find there is a loss of coherency. | |
| Where are the female Audiophiles? how does one explain women serving in the armed forces, including pilots ?yes they are in a small minority.my point is that if women are exposed and encouraged to take an interest in some endeavor at a young age, perhaps as adults they will find t... | |
| Where are the female Audiophiles? there is a mrs. tennis. she is quite tolerant but disinterested as to audio matters as well as my taste in music.we are all entitled to our opinions as to why there are so few women who are serious about this hobby. however, as long as we don't ta... | |
| Where are the female Audiophiles? i think you miss my point. the differences that have been mentioned so far i think are based on stereotypical thinking and questionable observations.there have been many studeies to show that the brains of men and women are not that different.if w... | |
| Tubes or simply the characteristic of the Pre-amp? having lived with and auditioned many preamps using 6dj8 and equivalent tubes, i find it difficult to find such a tube that provides the classic tube sound or for that matter, bloom, or richness.the 12 volt tube or a 6fq7 is a better way to go to ... | |
| Best digital cable to audition? there is a problem with this question:in addition to system dependency there is preference.for a given system there may be many favorite digital cables based upon a listeners preference.it is hard to take the answers to this question too seriously... | |
| Where are the female Audiophiles? what is the evidence and/or basis of all the geneder-specific analysis of "female" behavior ?is it based upon brain physiology ? is it based upon hormones ? or is it based upon "culture" ?if the latter isn't it possible that women can appreciate a... | |
| Tube CDP/DAC sound: too "refined"? the lack of smoothness and the texture that has been discussed so far would probably be perceived as unpleasantness. why must one suffer ?it is better to enjoy the sound" whatever it is than worrying about texture and smoothness. after all, a ster... | |
| Tube CDP/DAC sound: too "refined"? what do you mean by texture ? and what do you mean by smooth ? | |
