| Taylor Swift Concert Prices With a few exceptions this thread is a text book example of old people talking about young people and passing judgement. | |
| How can you evaluate a system with highly processed music? @bdp24 I agree with your comments. Big labels recording top orchestras with an all analog chain takes us back 40 to 50 years ago. Times have changed. | |
| How can you evaluate a system with highly processed music? There actually are classical recordings where the orchestra or ensemble are playing in a real auditorium and the engineers use what audiophiles call purist recording techniques. They exist and they are rare. Most classical recordings involve mul... | |
| A ridiculously cheap cable riser. Thanks for the info, but I'm gonna wait for the Mk2 Signature Reference version. | |
| How can you evaluate a system with highly processed music? @12many even the most purists of recordings should still be considered processed. The recordist could select from 200 different microphones when making a recording. Now couple that with the near countless options at microphone positioning. The ... | |
| How can you evaluate a system with highly processed music? If you are looking to evaluate a system you can do it quicker with test tones. Dynamics, room interactions, frequency response/balance, stereo imagining and depth reproduction can be determined without listening to actual music. Of course, follo... | |
| Why are People Dumping their Audio Research Gear and What Does it Say about them? If you were a dealer is there any certainty that under the renewed ARC you would continue to be a dealer? If they really don't know the answer, then they should reduce their inventory now rather than later. And that's assuming they assume ARC wi... | |
| Audio Research in Receivership. I am not suggesting ARC go mass market, but may be they should consider some diversification. Do they make a headphone amp? How about they emulate Manley and offer some pro oriented equipment. When studios switched to digital recording/mixing t... | |
| Audio Research in Receivership. Way back in the late 90s an iconic German sport car manufacturer realized they couldn't survive making only two seater sports car. They needed to make a vehicle that had mass appeal and that was the genesis of the Porsche SUV. SUV models now acc... | |
| Yamaha DSP-A1 for 2.1 System Still use mine for a 2 channel video system. The display is iffy, but otherwise has worked for 25+ years without fault. | |
| Audio Research Owners Worried? Would not the schematics be part of the intellectual property acquired by the new owners or the liquidators? For an unauthorized person to release this information would be a form of theft. | |
| Audio Research filing for bankruptcy? You don't send your equipment to them because you don't know what is going to happen. It's not likely, but they could just cease all operations and close. Your equipment sits on a shelf and you are in a line of creditors asking for what you are ... | |
| Audio Research filing for bankruptcy? "millions of onwers"? If I owned ARC equipment I would be concerned, not about repairs or service, but about resale value. Although I definitely would not send equipment to the factory for an upgrade until this is sorted out. | |
| What does Nominal Impedance mean? The Carver should have no problem with the new loudspeakers. The above 6 ohm impedance in the bass frequencies is good and the 3 ohm readings are at frequencies that demand less current. You might have to turn the volume setting up to match prev... | |
| Was I Expecting Too Much Let's assume the OP has accurately portrayed the interaction without bias or self-serving emphasis. It so, then the dealer should be respected for his honesty. He said call me back when you're ready to purchase. He didn't say ready to buy a Brin... |
