| neutrality & transparency: what's the difference ? While your at it, why don't you also include a definition of 'resolution' and how it differs from 'transparency'. | |
| Biasing amplifiers Bias drift occurs for many reasons, the tubes themselves can cause drift, the condition of the amp, and even its design can cause drift, and the time in use can cause drift.It also depends when you measure - many amps will have bias drift during w... | |
| I hope break in is true Flyski, Why would anyone bother to go thru all of that just to prove a point to some one who sez it doesn't happen, or that it can't happen, that it's all in our head, or at their most gracious have never heard it themselves. Frankly IDGAS what ot... | |
| Tweeters, Scanspeak or Seas Bartockfan, It's Sunday, a slow day for most. Why don't you take a moment to describe your 'hearing sensibilities' so we can all appreciate the value of your post more clearly (not that I necessarily disagree with your conclusion). :-) | |
| Tweeters, Scanspeak or Seas Apples and oranges perhaps but, FWIW, I have the Tylers with the Seas Millenium and in comparison to the Dynaudio tweeter in my other speakers it is a pleasure to listen to CD's with the Millenium whereas the Dynaudio tweeter is far more dependent... | |
| Who makes speakers with relaxed high freq.? Spendors come to mind, as do Tylers which would be my first choice. The Tylers are very detailed and revealing but are not bright. In fact they might err a tad on the warm side of neutral. Look at the Linbrook Monitors, which used, are in your pri... | |
| tape output to drive my amplifier Your tape out has no volume control, it is passing on the signal from your source without adding gain, or reducing it - how do you control the volume your sub produces? You may just happen to be operating your pre-amp at unity gain, that is it is ... | |
| I hope break in is true Break in is a real issue, althought I don't know if it will result in the improvement you are after. I'm breaking in a new CDP, for the first 50 hours it was brittle and dry sounding - all of the notes sweemed to have their endings chopped off. It... | |
| Looking for warmth FWIW, although I agree with Onhwy61 in general, your post doesn't really help me in understanding your needs. You ask for more warmth but I have found that when a lot of folks do that they are in fact confusing warmth (as described by Onhwy61) and... | |
| Room size too big for Sub?? My gut reaction is that your problem is not so much the capacity of the sub to produce sufficient volume in your room, but the accoustics of your room itself. You may have a substantial suck out in the low bass due to room placement, location of t... | |
| Huge sound stage Lkdog, I didn't mean to confuse you.....The key here is 'properly set up' meaning that you have, for example, minimized your reflection points and are hearing the direct sounds from the speakers from the sweet spot. When you have set up your speak... | |
| Are some tracks impossible to track? Analog playback is full of compromises. Even assuming proper set up, different cartridges and stylus have strengths and limitations and the ability to track a highly modulated groove is one of them, and perhaps the most common. Some of the best so... | |
| Using integrated as headphne amp: tape in or aux? Couple of things - as a practical matter its a moot point whether or not you use the tape or aux input, you really can't use the tape in for whatever reason. Your only pratical recourse is to use the aux input which would be the same as any other ... | |
| Huge sound stage Since you didn't ID your old stuff its hard to answer your question except in general terms, but you did say something which I'm not sure I have ever experienced in a properly operating system (not to throw water on your experience). In a general ... | |
| i'm looking for a dull 12ax7 and 12au7, ideas? I just noticed your other similar post looking for a CD player. Why don't you just buy a 10 band equalizer? Then you can tailor the sound of the system to your hearts content? The only thing you might loose sonically by putting an equalizer in you... |
