| Leave an amp "on" permanetly hi mcpody:i live in an area where the quality of the "ac" varies during the day. the affect of the "ac" is more of an issue than warm up. you certainly are entitled to your perception and opinion. i respecfully disagree with you.in answer to your ... | |
| Dissapointed buyer, item malfunctions experience? gentlemen:if people are reasonable, then most problems can be solved.it might be a good idea to have a "what if" discussion between buyer and seller before the sale. the contingencies of damage and other events could be discussed as well as how to... | |
| Cable Costs Relative to System i think a lot of the comments complicate the situation.the question could be : how to get the most improvement in sound for a given sum of money ?improvement is subjective and there is no definitive answer because it is not possible to audition ev... | |
| Leave an amp "on" permanetly i have a pair of tube amps and contrary to popular opinion, i don't notice a difference between 10 minutes and 100 minutes, as to sound quality. keep in mind, while you are waiting for the amp, preamp and cd player to warm up, there may be changes... | |
| Accurate vs Musical hi paul:musical has nothing to do with euphonic. musical contains the word music ? what is music ? pitch, timbre and harmonics. the issue of distortion is a non issue.when you listen to a live performance you hear the sound of instruments. most st... | |
| Power: Good or Bad again, what does better mean ?how can you ask this question unless you provide the criteria of "better" and "worse" ?i realize such standards are subjective. however, only you can decide what is better.frequently on audiogon forums, a request is m... | |
| Accurate vs Musical i think most of us can agree on the term "accuracy". "musical" refers to the sound of instruments.all stereo systems are inaccurate and all cannot reproduce the timbre of instruments correctly.what is instructive is to listen to a recording of an ... | |
| Accurate vs Musical here's another thing to consider.the issue of musicality and accuracy may be irrelevant to the purpose of listening to music. it may not matter how you describe the performance of a stereo system as long as it satisfies your objective.i visited a ... | |
| Accurate vs Musical accurate: input=output. the reproduction of the recording is error free. all stereo systems are inaccurate. there is no perfect reproduction of recordings.musical: the "sound" of instruments acoustically reproduced.the sound of an instrument varie... | |
| McIntosh MC275Mk4 with a pre or Mcintosh 6900? hi jaybe:i just reviewed the c220 preamp. it doesn't sound like there is a tube in it. i own a 275. the combination is too analytical for long term listening. the only think that a combination of c 220 and mc 275 would kill is some flies.it might ... | |
| Anyone tried/heart Dcca Audio Speaker Cable? gentlemen:if anyone is interested in a pair of dcca speaker cable and/or line cords, please contact me. | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? the best speaker system i ever heard was the non-speaker speaker.you can hear it anytime you attend a symphony orchestra concert. everything sounds real. all other speakers are deficient. | |
| McIntosh MC275Mk4 with a pre or Mcintosh 6900? gentlemen:don't get too carried away with the 275. i own one. it sounds like a solid state amp. yes it does have tubes. you would never realize this by listening to the amp.if you like solid state, buy solid state. | |
| "romantic" sounding cabling hi jc51373:there is a contradiction between achieving greater richness and greater reolution.there will always be some resolution. as your "sound" becomes richer, there will be a loss of resolution.again, there is the question of how one defines r... | |
| "romantic" sounding cabling hi kats:i auditioned a pair of eichmann cable, but do not recall its designation. it did provide resolution, but certainly not richness, otherwise, i would have kept them.in my mind, richness implies a loss of resolution. i don't see how you can i... |
