| Danny Boy - Recommendations Dtc, I can't really help you as I've never really focused on the various performances of this song. I've Cassidy's version and I love her performance as well.My question for you is based on my perception that the lasting power of this simple music... | |
| What is “warmth” and how do you get it? FWIW, I think someone has already touched upon one of the critical elements to the appearance of warmth in a system with balanced tone, that is the proper rise and decay of the signal without which balanced tone becomes meaningless. IMHO proper ri... | |
| Seeking comments from ProLogue 3-5-6-7 owners... Morganholz, I infer from your comments that you have done a lot of reading of reviews of the Primaluna equipment. That is good, but in the event you have not read the review of the 3/5 combo in 6moons, and you are interested in possibly using thes... | |
| Seeking comments from ProLogue 3-5-6-7 owners... You've probably already picked up my comments on the 3/5 combo from other posts when you used the search feature. The Readers Digest version is they work well in combo but separately for me not so much so. Their sound is linear and detailed. Moder... | |
| What is “warmth” and how do you get it? FWIW, and its already been discussed fairly well, I think the terms warm(er), neutral, or cool/analytical, are difficult when used to discuss the sound of music. Audio, OK, maybe.Not to be overly simplistic, but what turns me on is always a sound ... | |
| Tube amp with gain controls..any suggestions You should be able to do it (with less than optimum results IMHO) by getting a ss amp with more input sensitivity than the tubed amp and then putting an attenuator between the preamp and the ss amp. Using this attenuator you could come close to ma... | |
| Tube Preamp suggestion for the uninitiated Preamps that I have used that you can get used for less than $1000 that you should put on your list are the Magus (with a very good phono section) and the EAR 834L (which is a line stage only). But, FWIW, I've never used either with a SS amp.If yo... | |
| Silverline Minuet "Supreme" Cwlondon, The Minuets were stacked vertically and the speaker on top was inverted. I never really listened to the solo set of Minuets so I can really comment about their sound.If you are interested in the whats and whys of stacked Minuets you migh... | |
| Silverline Minuet "Supreme" FWIW I don't know about the 'new' Minuets, but I listened to a stacked set (4) Minuets at Alan's shop a couple of years ago. They were driven by inexpensive SS amps, pre-amp and CDP. Played a few cuts from discs Alan had and some that I brought. I... | |
| Anyone compared 6922 Sovtek & Electro-Harmonix I tried Sovteks and EH's in an ARC SP10II. Compared to the Sovteks (and NOS 6h23's) the EH's were dullish and muddy in both the line and phono stage. | |
| Jolida sj502a tube advice I used the Sovtek's in several different amps. Nice mid-range and highs. Not at all bright BUT the bass is really lacking I think. I have not used a Jolida so this is just a generic reference. I used SED 6550's which were much better in the bass b... | |
| Music to soothe the mid-winter soul Pops, LOL. Takes a lot to get it up anymore, at least music wise. :-) | |
| What to upgrade or just leave it alone ? Its hard enuf to get from point A to point B when you have a map, but you lack both a map and point B (a goal personal to you - you don't need my goal). Leave it alone and enjoy! | |
| Music to soothe the mid-winter soul Solo piano music by Beethoven, Brahms, Chopin, Debussy, Lizst, Prokofiev, Schubert and Schumann, is music that I usually find very soothing, involving, yet relaxing. Some small Jazz groups involving Charlie Haden, Houston Person, Andre Previn, Ron... | |
| What I learned on Audiogon This Year From the ad's I've learned that folks don't use their stuff much. Funny, after all that expense you'd think they would use the hell out of it.From the questions posed I learned that a lot of folks don't understand the function of Google or other s... |
