| Philosophy used in assembling your system? listening preference is primary.i prefera very vintage tube sound and panel speakers.i select the speaker and then the amp, pre, cd player and acbles to create the spectral balance i am trying to achieve.a lot of auditioning is necessary to get wh... | |
| Why so expensive?? i believe wisdom audio manufacturers a stereo system including amplifiers and speakers costing about 1 million.how many cars can you buy for 1 million dollars (excluding taxes) ?i think bill gates and warren buffet can order several pairs without ... | |
| Class-D amps - a different re view hi ralph:the recording was made in a den at a friend's house. the purpose of the recording was to make a comparison between the timbre of the cymbal and the timbre reproduced by a stereo system using the cymbal recording as the source.i would hope... | |
| the paradox of accurate speakers hi nrchy:accurate is defined as input=output, where input is the recording and output is that which is produced by the speaker. you are correct in that perfection does not exist. the sound of an instrument reproduced by a stereo system is timbrall... | |
| is RMAF worth a trip if i weren't attending the ces, i would go to the rmaf.there are manufacturers who attend ces who do not exhibit at the rmaf. | |
| the paradox of accurate speakers from what i understand, the term accuracy is independent of experience. objective data is furnished, criteria is devised and judgments ensue.when experience speakers and stereo systems, those which are designated accuracy may be differntiated by s... | |
| Class-D amps - a different re view on sunday i attended a chamber music concert of a string quartet at my local library.what i heard was not remotely similiar to the sound of any stereo system. | |
| Class-D amps - a different re view hi mr g:enjoying solid state and class d amps seems to be an acquired taste. i have not as yet acquired the taste.perhaps you can enlighten me as to how i might acquire the taste.then again if i acquire the taste i may not like the taste.however i... | |
| Musicophilia - music & relationship to the brain newbee, you are correct. we do agree. i too don't want to be assaulted by unpleasant "sound" when i am listening to any kind of music.i still make a distinction between listening for timbre and listening to enjoy the music.i can enjoy the music on... | |
| Class-D amps - a different re view there are a number of amps that will drive a difficult load, say under 2 ohms. just because an amp can drive a speaker doesn't mean one wants to listen to that speaker with a particular amp which drives it.as i have said i find pnels and solid sta... | |
| Musicophilia - music & relationship to the brain hi gregm:in my own experience, i am no more drawn into listening to a symphony orchestra than a single instruments.i frequently assess the timbral inaccuracy of instruments. it is easier to do this when only one instrument is present.when i am not... | |
| Why so expensive?? it's all relative. if you have a billion dollars , 350k for an amp may be worth it. if you have 1 million dollars, a 350k amp is probably overpriced. | |
| Musicophilia - music & relationship to the brain there have been many articles written about the salutary effects of music therapy. it seems that sound quality is not a factor in the efficacy of the music to produce a beneficial result.as for listening experiences, if a stereo system cannot prov... | |
| Quad ESL 57 are there better speakers out there?? what speaker is timbrally less inaccurate than the original quad ? better is so subjective that it is almost a meningless word. no one describes what better is, so when the word is used its meaning is ambiguous and undefined. | |
| Musicophilia - music & relationship to the brain the complexity of a composition is irrelevant as far as minimizing timbral errors. if i am listening to a symphony orchestra or a solo harpsichord i am aware of how erroneous a stereo system reproduces the sound of an instrument.if i am in an anly... |
