| auditioning sessions vs. listening sessions An interesting thing happens to me that really differentiates an audiophile music session vs a musicophile session. I would never fall asleep in the former. Even if that were induced by boredom. :-( But in the latter I can become so relaxed by the... | |
| The eternal quandary Twoleftears, consider that it may have nothing to do with the quality of the replication of recorded music in the home vs the 'live experience'. It has, to me at least, more to do with tonal balance and pitch. Timbre. At one concert hall I regular... | |
| Time to change. But to what? Twoleftears - Check your mail. | |
| Buzz about pure class A solid state amplifiers ? I've owned some pretty good A/B's, Class A's, and Tubes. I'm a tube enthusiast so take this for what its worth.First, I think that the best of Class A's and A/B's sound much more like each other than either sound like tubes. Not even close IMHO. T... | |
| auditioning sessions vs. listening sessions Listening to music I love always quickly turns into a 'listening' session. Listening to music that doesn't really move me most always turns into an 'audition' experience. I find myself listening more to the sonics than musical content.For that rea... | |
| About my KT88 Tubes Well I've not used any "Gold Lions" or EH's for that matter. I usually use SED 6550's or KT88's, but that is not why I'm posting.I have a different Cary amp and did quite a bit of research into Cary amps in general, but mainly as to tube selection... | |
| Time to change. But to what? You might just like the Bolero's. They really fits snuggly into the description of the sound your are looking for. I have been extremely pleased with mine. I've had them a year now and have NO reservations whatsoever. I use them in a 19x13x9 room ... | |
| Time to change. But to what? Tvad, Not all Silverlines! :-) Mine are highly resolving but not in anyway analytical. They really do favor those folks looking for a real alternative to the typical high end speaker. And they work well with tubes! | |
| Ever feel like we are going nowhere here? Is this a whine or not! If you think a question or general subject thread is dumb, endlessly redundant, or can be answered by s simple research, ignor it! Let someone else who would like to help or share step in and actually add something, not jus... | |
| Which speakers have wide dispersion? Although Pedrillo asked about 'wide dispersion' I think what he was, unknowingly (perhaps), looking for speakers which created a huge soundfield while retaining fidelity to the recording (pin point in the sweetspot/nearfield). Just a guess though.... | |
| Help with proper hook up You can put it between the amp and pre-amp - pre-out to C-9 in > C9 out to amp. I'd prefer the tape loop initially at least just to confirm to your self that it is both effective and desirable in your set up by switching it in and out. I found ... | |
| Questions about Preamp Tubes Mapman, Whether it sounds different to you depends, IMHO, more on the developement of your listening skills than anything else. When the differences are very subtle they can be missed by most anyone except the most attentive and especially by thos... | |
| TAS Recommended CD Tweak…. Eldartford, Whether it's 'all that clear' or not is often in direct relationship to the products a poster is trying to sell. Obviously since Goeffkait is trying to market a devise which will remove the effect of stray light, it would be clear to h... | |
| Which tube cd player do you like Not to rain on your parade (question), however how would you ever translate (for example) my response wherein I would discuss three CDP's in residence and in constant use, with zero knowledge of the sonics of the underlying set up (my equipment, m... | |
| why the distorted sound? Coe, I asked the questions that I did to establish in a simple way that 1) the noise was not in the mono's which was easily eliminated by either turn off or a mute switch and 2) that the noise did not originate in a source, such as a tubed cdp or ... |
