| I admire Miles Davis, i admire Stravinsky; but i loved Chet Baker and Scriabin...You? ... I hope with my face either 😅I don't know exactly how much my audio system costs but I am convinced and have always been convinced that more expensive things are not necessarily better, in particular, in audio stuff. If I would have your abili... | |
| I admire Miles Davis, i admire Stravinsky; but i loved Chet Baker and Scriabin...You? "The last time i go to a cinema was 30 years ago...I almost never go to restaurant. ... I walk instead of taking the bus....I never accept to live in a house with any neighbours.... I run away from any collective festivities ..."I have just read t... | |
| I admire Miles Davis, i admire Stravinsky; but i loved Chet Baker and Scriabin...You? Thanks for your response and an interesting observation, mahgister. Perhaps, out perception of art, and , in particular, of music has to do something with our previous lives ... | |
| I admire Miles Davis, i admire Stravinsky; but i loved Chet Baker and Scriabin...You? Sorry guys, but for my taste Bach is a bit monotone and homogeneous, as some other baroque composers including Purcell, whom, by the way I also like (as well as Bach), but no more I am so much excited with them (I think there are much less "mono... | |
| Floor-standing vs Book-shelf from upper line up? Go with flour standing. With bookshelf ones you need good stands and at least one sub. Yo my taste, subwoofers do not complete the speakers as well as the woofers integrated in speakers. | |
| Should I use Speaker Spike / Isolation Base or Something? A simple observation. A member of flour standing speakers come from the fabric on spikes (e.g. Thiel, done JM Lab). I would not bother myself further and just trust their experience. | |
| Tube Amp soundstage Independently from theory (which is of course interesting by itself) I was (and continue) comparing the soundstage of Stingray tube integrated amplifier (in push-pull) and Cherry Megascino class D that I use with Wyred4sound STP2 preamplifier. S... | |
| High end Class D amps? one more vote for PS Audio Stellar S300. I was a bit critical with that amp in the earlier thread ("Time to buy a class D amp?"). This was my first class D amp, and I switched from pure tube setting. More importantly, I used it with PS Audio Gain ... | |
| Keith Jarrett on the importance of audio sound quality Ironically, in KJ ECM albums his piano is not that well recorded (perhaps his tube monoblocks are not that good so that he still does not realise that?) , and in many of the ECM trio albums Gary Peacock's base in somehow on the second plan (a gre... | |
| Best 40 to 50k used speakers If you like Thiel speakers try to find used CS6s. It might be difficult to find something better even if you pay 10 times more. CS 3.7s have nice midrange but the base is incompatible with CS6s which are truly coherent speakers with very good co... | |
| What has been your costliest mistake in this hobby? I have burned two units while connecting a pre-amplifier output to the power amplifier input . Unfortunately the pre was in standby mode but the amp was actually on. There was a short on the chassis of the amp. Of course with the best outcome non... | |
| Good entry level cables I have a nice experience with DH labs silver Sonic cable - non expensive and very good sounding | |
| Thiel Owners Then you may prefer Wilson Audio speakers. For my taste they sound coloured and a bit aggressive (nothing to say about the difference on price). | |
| Thiel Owners The sound clarify in the second one is far from natural and has much distortions. I like heavy rock but would not measure speaker characteristics based on that kind of music (even some early Black Sabbath recordings are better for this purpose).Th... | |
| Short List of Amps I prefer over the Pass Labs XA25 or INT 25 response to the earlier post. i was also considering pass xa25 (according to reviews it gives neutral tuby sound) but i think made a correct decision because this amp would not drive well my thiel cs6 speakers. i am very staisfied with megaschino ... |
