| Solid state amplifiers and sound stage, especially front to back "depth" I think that here are two different issues. First is the body and the depth of each instrument, how individual instruments sound. Here I think besides the recording quality, amplifying equipment is definitive. On the other hand, whenever positio... | |
| Class D for a Tube Lover Essentially, give you best of both worlds... This sounds perfect. Thanks @ml... for letting us know your thoughts and impressions. I understand your preamp is LA300me, should be very good. Looks like that you have spent about 8 times more in your ... | |
| An amazing sound engineer Yes, in a small red wagon. This CD issue has bonus tracks. Try to get it and compare the recording with your LP version, you should not be disappointed. | |
| An amazing sound engineer You may have a look at http://www.joetarantinomastering.com/for a list. 1957 Thelonious Monk Septet Monk's Music (Riverside reissue 2011) is a good example of his mastercraft. | |
| Class D for a Tube Lover Hm. You need to hear better preamps! The way to limit distortion (and colorations) with tubes is not unlike how you would do it with transistors- go fully differential. This keeps the even ordered harmonics down (part of the 'tube' sound) allowing... | |
| WHAT IS THE MOST UNIQUE SONG THAT YOU HAVE EVER HEARD? Can't say one but there are a few very special songs that touch my heart. Among them areLike a rolling stone, Just like a Woman of Bob DylanQuite a few Jimi Hendrix's songs among them Crosstown Traffic, Red House, Little Wing, Castles made of san... | |
| My NAD 3020 D proves your Class D tropes are wrong Blaming on Class D in general is just a nonsense. It is not a matter of a taste, rather it is an objective reality that there are quite affordable class D amps that sound better than many more expensive class ab amps in terms of all objective so... | |
| Should say this and be fair with PS Audio stuff I have tried to hook up the Stellar S300 with other preamp, a Nuprime headphone amp, a Mcintosh pre and Wired4Sound STP 2. While the latter pre in general, I like more than Gain Cell, guess what, i like the combination Gain Cell with S300 the mos... | |
| Class D for a Tube Lover According to my personal experience, it makes not much sense to mix class D with tube preamplification. While class D may give a clear very low distortion sound, tubes would always add a notable (for me) distortion that ruins class D clean sound. ... | |
| SQ vs. Music Good question! I personally distinguish two separate joys when listening to a recording. I may enjoy just the sound, sound quality, how different instruments are recorded and reproduced, and of course I mainly enjoy the music I am listening to. I... | |
| I admire Miles Davis, i admire Stravinsky; but i loved Chet Baker and Scriabin...You? There is a very nice album of Kenneth Wheeler with John Taylor - i also like Wheeler. Check out also Paolo Fresu if you like trumpet. | |
| If you stream music from the internet, I can't recommend this more highly @djones,Empirical evidence can also be anecdotal evidence and persons postulating on how much difference a cable makes in the sound coming from their speakers is empirical and anecdotal evidence. @audio2design gave an excellent overview, according... | |
| If you stream music from the internet, I can't recommend this more highly this is true, but at the same time empirical study cannot exist without a theory, these two things are tied. given a theory, you may verify it empirically if you are unable to prove its soundness theoretically. in physics, this is a common practic... | |
| If you stream music from the internet, I can't recommend this more highly ATMFRANK, do you find a notable additional difference with and without Allo Digione Signature/Raspberry (do you need any special things to install it, it seems it comes without a case right), what DAC you have? | |
| If you stream music from the internet, I can't recommend this more highly To me as well, folks, the thoughts of ATMFRANK are logical and convincing, I would rather trust such reasoning. |
