| All Amps Sound the Same.... Kijanki, a well crafted telling of the standard audiophile dogma with just a hint of hyperbole. But is it possible that it's not large amounts of negative feedback that's the problem, but instead the careless or sloppy use of NFB in circuits not o... | |
| All Amps Sound the Same.... Measurements vs. senses is a false dichotomy. True audio reproduction art sensibly merges the two drawing upon the respective strengths of each area. Your physical senses cannot tell you that the earth is rotating on its axis and circling the sun ... | |
| Anyone heard te Sony SS-AR1 TO: Onhwy61I don't care for your insulting comments on my thread. Piss off, you audio tool.I got this message in my e-mail today. | |
| All Amps Sound the Same.... For the overwhelming majority of music listeners the statements make very good sense. If you download your music from popular/non-audiophile sites, don't use acoustic room treatments, don't have a dedicated listen room, haven't meticulously positi... | |
| What would happen if Maggie and Wilson Mated? Magnepan would start aggressively raising their prices, begin touting the quality of the wood trim's paint finish and start naming their products "Monique", "Alektra" or "Elisha". Wilson would just continue to make money. | |
| Modern Linestages Grannyring, it was the Constellation review that prompted my original post. It appears to be an enormously complex product for a linestage. Whether or not the Constellation pushes some theoretical state of the art is a question I'll probably never... | |
| Modern Linestages Applause to Charles1dad for actually backing up his convictions by naming names.At this point I may be talking out of both sides of my mouth but I think it comes down to what the consumer thinks he is paying for. I believe that Atmasphere's commen... | |
| Modern Linestages Goldeneraguy, I for one wasn't complaining about the price of items or knocking those who buy them. I simply observed that a new, very much higher price level seems to have emerged for top of the line preamps. Is it not a fair question to ask what... | |
| Modern Linestages A manufacturer will charge whatever the market will bear. It has nothing to do with design, manufacturer cost ... as long as there is demand for whatever reason.Knghifi, sorry I don't understand. Perhaps you could provide a few examples of high en... | |
| Modern Linestages Knghifi, you should take a course in basic microeconomic theory. They are available at any community college. Pay particular attention to when the prof talks about market equilibrium. You might even want to ask a question about the phrase "in the ... | |
| Modern Linestages Atmasphere, thanks for taking a try at my question. I realize it is not a trivial inquiry. I find it refreshing that while you design what I consider a very expensive expensive linestage that you don't see any technical or sonic need to come out w... | |
| Modern Linestages Atmasphere, could you perhaps comment on the original post. I notice that your top linestage retails for around $12k and weighs slightly less than 50lbs (a two box design no less). This is more or less in line price and weight wise with products b... | |
| Are you recording your vinyl? Some people don't listen to vinyl, they listen to music. | |

| Modern Linestages As a group audiophiles work hard to attain subtle improvements in performance. As such I'm a little disappointed by the lack of subtlety in some of the responses. I don't see how someone could reduce my comments here to a criticism of people buyin... |
