| Diff in recording/reproduction in Analog/CD/SACD Thanks all for responding and making this an interesting read. I did not intend this to be 'flame away at digital' thead. Intent was thru simple technical rational backed by your actual vast or limited listening experiences. Just finished reading ... | |

| How much does your system weigh? Mine most likely runs in excess or 1000 lbs. Dunlavy V's are 300 lbs each. Classe mono blocks about 140 lbs each. Pre amp and Cd player does not weigh much - may be 40 lbs total. Not counting cables and stand total two channel weight about 920 lbs... | |
| "Air, Extension, Resolution" Music or Hi Fi? "Air, Extension, Resolution" to a limit is must have. This is what makes music Realistic sounding, provided you have good recording and good equipment that reproduces instrument harmonics faithfully. As soon the scale tips towards excessive ( few ... | |
| Jadis Eurythmie - Anyone ever listen to them? T_bone, I do have that Sterophile issue. I just sent you email. Pl respond. | |
| Help educate Analogue rookie Thank you all for accurate and insightful info. It sounds like background noise is MOSTLY between tracks, while clicks and pops could occur any time! I think the common theme is proper minimum vibration or vibration free set-up and cleaning routin... | |
| Could some one explain how to buy best cables? In a way I know the answer since in my main system, I had to go thru similar trial and error process about 7-8 years ago. The cables I ended up with and still happy with are NOT the most expensive I tried. Even from similar makes, I ended up with ... | |
| whats your idea of loud music. Elizabeth, and others, Okay I agree with you. It is just that you should have used the word 'stupid' rather than 'jxxx' that's all. | |
| whats your idea of loud music. Elizabeth, Readster is correct. Not every 'Jerk' looses hearing by listening to loud music for extended time. I use to listen my car stereo at 105-110 db and my hearing is still perfect, but then again am not that 'old' and never been called 'Jerk... | |
| whats your idea of loud music. Loud music to me in my room is when the imaging and focus muddies up at my usual listening position, which is about 9-10 ft away farfield from from my Dunlavy V's. SPLs beyond 95 db tend to do this in my room. Few dbs below that and with good reco... | |
| A brutal review of the Wilson Maxx I wonder what would be the best way to confirm Onhwy61 and Bigtee's copmelety different view on Microphone selection and placement. Say if you close mike instruments like Bigtee suggests IN a anechoic chamber and play back in two different philoso... | |
| A brutal review of the Wilson Maxx So true Daveyf. I also realize often while listening to my system that yeah the guitar, or violin, or piano or a human voice is very palpalable but then I think does it really compare to the real live sound, the answer is USUALLY no. But at times,... | |
| Should a good system sound bad with bad recording? Absolutely. A good system by definition reproduces what is on the source material. If the material is crappy, sound should come out crappy, otherwise it is not a 'good' system. Take, Bose system for example, it will make everything sound okay. In ... | |
| Do you care about the LOOK??? Yep. Looks always comes first for me. Of course it has to sound good next. If not I go for the next good looking but better souning component.e.g. For my second compact system, I selected Jadis Orchestra Reference on mostly looks. Of course beauti... | |
| Heard the $325000 Acapella's Sphaeron excaliburs? I agree Tbg. Athough Ferrari Analogy makes good point, if you got the money, and if you can afford it and IF YOU LIKE the sound of Acapella's or any other big bucks speakers or components, there is nothing overpriced or worthless.I bet most of us ... |
