| Best recording / performance Dvorak Cello conc. From the cheap seats there is Maria Kliegel on Naxos. Don't overlook this one just 'cause you've never heard of her. She is a very fine cellist. She throws in the Elgar Concerto for good measure. This CD caused me to look up Kliegels other perform... | |
| Von Schweikert VR4JR & Tube Amp??? Bass from tube amps is often different in quality from SS amps, but not necessarily quantity. In my view the correction of the bass is far more important to the listening experience than the minor (if any) changes or distortions you might add from... | |
| An observation about "Modern" classical music. Ejlif, I not only agree with you I would suggest that it may be his best composition. :-) | |
| Von Schweikert VR4JR & Tube Amp??? Personally, before reaching any conclusions about changing amps I'd want to address the bass boom you describe. Assuming you can't or wont find speakers that will work better in those dimensions, and the present locations of the speakers and liste... | |
| wife's observation Women in general are known to have a better high frequency hearing than men. Perhaps its just that your wife no longer hears high frequency aberations created by your original cables. She describes it as a lessening of volume when its just a lesse... | |
| An observation about "Modern" classical music. All this silence signifies to me is a possible choice made by the recording engineer. Frankly I can't even think of a good reason for including audience applause on recordings. I'm certainly not impressed by the applause and bravos at live perform... | |
| DK Design VS- Reference vs Signature Tvad, What you say is very true, however everyone sez that the DK runs very cool. Common experience is that true Class A operation produces heat and the higher the bias is set the more heat the amp produces. I've heard of Class A/B amps which run ... | |
| Room Problem Improvement Question: Over a Garage Dumb question time. When you did you RTA measurements were you also searching out the nodes and nulls. Could it be as simple as finding the best nodes for speakers and listening positions? Regarding equipment vibration casued by floor movement, ca... | |
| DK Design VS- Reference vs Signature At the risk of sounding cynical, lacking a description by the manufacturer, I could guess that class A+ could mean something like Class A+ B. As in Class A/B | |
| I'm looking for thoughts on the Tyler Acoustics... Boa2, FWIW, when I was considering the III's I was running my Jubilee/Jems which have Dynaudio drivers - thats what attracted me to the III's in the first place. I was unfamilar with the Seas drivers capabilities. I had noted that the Silverlines ... | |
| Room Problem Improvement Question: Over a Garage Is the garage ceiling finished? If not you might consider adding some more joists and support beams to beef up the 'music' room's floor. Without doing that I doubt you'd get much benefit from just putting in a new hardwood floor. If your ceiling j... | |
| How would you desribe Von Schweiket VR-4jr sound? Rob, I was not personally attacking you, I was commenting on your conduct in this thread. There is a meaningful difference. All I did was hold up a mirror for you - you looked and admitted that it revealed an ugliness. If it matters not to you, it... | |
| I'm looking for thoughts on the Tyler Acoustics... Entrope, Are you comparing the two way Taylo's, or the larger 2 piece, 3 way, Taylo system with the Silverlines? Have you listened to the Linbrook Systems II, or the Signature's which are not only three way but have different tweeters and woofers ... | |
| How would you desribe Von Schweiket VR-4jr sound? Rob, Just read this thread including all of your posts. You sound like your ox has been severly gored, however I find little justification for the 'personal' nature of your posts which attack others, including Opalchip. So be it. You define yourse... | |
| Learning about my room and my sound.. Eldartford, I think what you described could well be what I experienced. I was hand holding the meter. |
