| Wood blocks underneath components?? snake oil? Sdatch, Why would you think that vibration control would effect the frequency balance of a components output? Perhaps it has a greater effect on vibration induced distortions which while audible to those sensitive to their presence do not alter th... | |
| does a stereo system sound like live music ? John, I haven't heard latin since my alterboy days, but isn't it penis substantia? :-) | |
| what is the difference between good and bad music Bartokfan, You're in jeopardy of being banned because you don't like Beethoven?! Wow!Now I wonder what would happen to me when they find out I'm bored by Bach and can't stand Berg. :-) | |
| does a stereo system sound like live music ? Jafox, I think Mr T is just bored again. As he is 64 years old (from another of his posts) I assume he has retired and is just trying to fill his day. We should be flattered that he finds us intelligent enuf to want to philosophical combat here. :-) | |
| tube preamps That can be a no brainer in fact if properly matched to your amp. Especially if you are tired of the sound of a SS preamp and want something with a bit more body, meat on the bones if you will. | |
| Wood blocks underneath components?? snake oil? Perkadin, Re: "I'm not even going to entertain an argument here...."To paraphrase a famous line from Gone With the Wind, frankly my dear, I don't give a damm, what you entertain, or not! | |
| help with a lush 50 watt+ amp Mr Tennis, I've not made a recommendation even though I appreciate thru your multiple posts that you are looking to change the balance of your system. You seem not to be able to find a single component which will do it for you which makes me think... | |
| if you had 2500,what player stands out???? CDP's all have different sonic signatures and I assume you have the equipment necessary to distinguish these differences or you would be checking out some of the good quality, inexpensive, units. That said, what are your sonic preferences, what ki... | |
| Power Cable for Wadia 302 cd Don't get too anxious about replacing the cord on this unit. Out of the box it sounded like a POS. Mine is now about 6 weeks old, I ran it continuously for 7 days and have have used it 2 to 3 hours a day ever since and its just now smoothing out a... | |
| what is the difference between good and bad music Mr Tennis, Your inconsistency detector may need recalibration. Same POV from my direction except I used a different manner of expressing it. | |
| Tubes in Hi-End Preamps Viridian, What I said was that 2d order harmonics sound more 'natural' to me. I parenthesized 'neutral'with a ? mark only to emphasize that I didn't think the my use of the term natural necessarily encompassed neutrality, but some might think thes... | |
| Wood blocks underneath components?? snake oil? No more snake oil than the alternative methods (theories) of 'draining' vibrations or isolating from incoming vibrations. You have some kind of metal pointy things at one end of the spectrum and soft squishy things at the other end. Seems like woo... | |
| Tubes in Hi-End Preamps Viridian, Sorry 'bout the name - I think my mis-spelling is the result of my mis-pronouncing it and not looking back. I'll be more careful - wasn't meant to be personal, just laziness on my part. :-)As to elections of distortions, I'm a tube guy -... | |
| Tubes in Hi-End Preamps Veridan, The key in this part of the discussion is not, IMHO, the presence or absence of distortions in the electrical signal but whether or not neutrality is an aural experience or a just a difference in the electrical signal itself which may not... | |
| what is the difference between good and bad music I agree with Mr Tennis's comments in his post to bartok fan of 4/30 where in he sez "...its all subjective, if you like it its good, if you don't its bad. Its a philosophical argument with no conclusion".How can any intelligent person argue with t... |
