| hard 's' Re 'ssss' have you addressed proper set up issues, including damping 1st reflection points and speaker toe in (or not)? Re depth of image, do you have your speakers well aout into the room, or are they close to the wall? | |
| Discography of Brahms, Piano concerto 1, op. 15 It's not complete in any sense, however an excellent collection of reviews of classical music can be found in "Third Ear" Classical Music, The Listeners Companion, edited by Alexander J Morin, and published by Backbeat Books. Over 1200 pages, incl... | |
| Tyler House Sound I have the Linbrook Signature Systems (1Piece). They are presently powered by a 40 wt tube amp - more than enuf IMHO. I can't fault your description of their sound, but they are very transparent and will easily reflect your choice of amps, pre-amp... | |
| Does anyone like vintage speakers? Fishboat, I think that the quality of the drivers (especially tweeters) used in speakers has improved quite a bit since the 70's and 80's. Properly implemented these drivers can provide resolution and transparency in dynamic speakers that was only... | |
| noise thru tube pre?? If you must put tube equipment in the same end of the room as the speakers usually you can put it in the center of the space between the speakers. Just put on some bass heavy music and move about finding the location where the bass response is min... | |
| Does anyone like vintage speakers? Fishboat, When/if you or Mechans define what is a vintage speaker, or when the golden age of audio occurred, I would be better able to comment. When I think of vintage, I think of products from the 50's and 60's. Being a lot younger than I (if you... | |
| noise thru tube pre?? Honest1, LOL. Just too much. I'm going to avoid temptation just this once. No comment!! | |

| noise thru tube pre?? Fiddler, I think there is a difference between 2nd order distortion and a 'ringing' caused by tube microphonics overlaying the music. That in minor amounts folks can enjoy an artificial reverb like distortion caused by this ringing I wouldn't deny... | |
| whats the biggest mistake you made? Hooper, for the sake of womenhood, stay single! :-) I empathize. | |
| noise thru tube pre?? Hell, I wouldn't even wink! SS sucks the music right out of the grooves and craps all over it! Hey, Nrchy, did you ever figure out how to bias that tube amp you bought? :-) | |
| noise thru tube pre?? You've got a microphonic tube. Since you only have one tube, get a new one thats been tested by a dealer for microphonics. Microphonics can effect the sound put out by your pre-amp even if you are not tapping the case. Vibrations come from many so... | |
| DK Design Group X-Dream - wow Ellery911, I think there are some folks who have and continue to post about DK products in a manner that will draw critics to accuse DK of (or continuing to) use sockpuppets to promote their products, thereby damaging their business. This just can... | |
| Why do people write mean things about musicians You jest! Where did you come up with this concept anyway.What are the "mean things" being said, seperate from the things folks say when just giving their honest opinions and impressions?Recording companies judge artists by sales, or before the art... | |
| whats the biggest mistake you made? My biggest mistake was in taking the advise of others about what would make my system sound good!My next biggest mistake was in not taking the advise of others about what would not make it sound good!But its so hard to do this in a vacumm. :-) |
