Recording quality by decade
The equipment available today allows a talented producer and engineer to make high quality recordings equal or better than anything previously done. This applies to both analog and digital and is particularly true if the goal is for a purist type ... 
Pure Music Functionality Question
Downloaded the demo this morning. Seems to be working well with no problems. I'll let the software break in for 72 hours before doing any serious listening. 
Jazz for aficionados
Wow, some much incoherence and misinformation in so few paragraphs. Of course, there's always the possibility that it's all an eloborate joke that's gone over my head.Cheers 
Recording quality by decade
At some point in the mid to late 60s studios replaced their tube equipment (consoles, microphones and processors) with solid state designs. Some say this was a step backward in sound quality. Starting in the 70s the newer consoles had more channel... 
That Audiophile Thing
You make it sound so complicated! Sure there are some things to learn, but the little that is needed is not overly technical. A foolproof way to try out 300b tubes would be to get a full Coincident system, preamp/amp/wire/speakers and match it wit... 
Opinions on Land Rover LR2
I notice that many of Chayro's detractors are people who haven't bothered to list their systems, yet they want to set rules as to what are permissible posts. Dilettantes and poseurs all!One of the longest running threads in Audiogon forum history ... 
An Unusual Question -- Equipment Rental/Loans
Don't critically listen to music for the few weeks. Every now and then give your ears and mind a break. Your system will sound that much better when you go back to the routine. 
How to protect against burglary
You should accept the fact that you cannot prevent a truly determined/skilled thief, but what you can do is deter the amateurs. I've read many times that thieves dislike homes with dogs. It doesn't have to be a pitbull or such, but the mere sound ... 
Non-feedback amplification topology and frequency
And its also true that if you use an amp with no feedback (Power Paradigm) on a speaker that needs it (Voltage Paradigm) you will get a tonal coloration of the types you describe.Isn't this an awful big caveat? 
How can do you extend the life of your tubes?
Since we're only talking about non-power tubes, then neither of your questions should be a source of worry. Leave the tubes powered 24/7 and change them at fixed intervals. It could be every 6 months or 2-3 years. A very small number of vendors ar... 
What country still has music?
I'm sure there are plenty of legends in their living rooms. Everybody seemingly has a pat excuse for why they're not rich and famous. The fact that you might not have the tenacity, balls, talent or will power has nothing to do with it. If the worl... 
What country still has music?
Duanegoosen, at least you admit that it could be hard. Some people insists that it's so simple. 
What country still has music?
If it's so simple to programs some beats, then please tell us what beats you've come up with, sold for large sums of money and have been used in hit records. According to you it ain't even hard work!

What's your definition of lowest bass and/or deep powerful bass? Are you talking about sub 30Hz at >95dB, high volume levels? The Avalons you have go down into the 30-40Hz region although they won't go super loud in that area.I second what Egra... 
Solid state amp around 2000-2500 used or new
What Soix said.Also, why not stay with Odyssey and go mono or upgrade to the Stratos?
