| Class "A" sound, as related to Stereophile. Viridian, the closest to creating the experience you described is in a movie theater; a listening room is a long way from a movie theater.I had a Phase Linear 4 channel, that was interesting; it created some ambiance, and had features like a "dyna... | |
| Class "A" sound, as related to Stereophile. Dave, I don't mean to be contrary, but no matter how enjoyable, a trip to the concert hall, or hearing sparkling voices singing in a large beautiful church is, you are dealing in the realm of impossibility (or close to it) in regard to creating th... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Ghosthouse, that would be nice to meet up at a luncheonette like Kate's; it was at a place like that I had lunch and met with a friend, who played "Motorin Along" on the jukebox there every time we met.It's a funny thing about those old "Tube juke... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Ghosthouse, I appreciate your honesty, more than anything in regard to music that's new to you. Currently I'm into "old school" Jimmy Smith, and I would like your opinion of this music.You can't be expected to like it as well as me and other afi... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Ghosthouse, "Oregon" is nice, they are well represented in my collection. Whether or not it's jazz "What difference does it make"? It's good music. Like I said in my last post "Go with the flow that is you" We can't all like the same music. | |
| Reel to Reel tape decks Jnovak,My best friend owned a Sony 10 inch reel to reel, when I see that reel, I think of the times we had at the parties he gave with music from the reel. Sometime we just listened to the reel; he's no longer with us and I miss him.I've got a Te... | |
| The dumbest stereo experience ever! My best friend owned a Sony TC 880; when I see that reel, I think of the times we had at the parties he gave with music from the reel. Sometime we just listened to music; he's no longer with us and I miss him.I've got a Technichs RS 1500 2 Track,... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Music is a composite picture of everything about you; where you were born, when you were born, your life experiences, and your personality.I see no reason to "cultivate" a taste for anything; just let it flow, and let everything find you, that's t... | |
| Class "A" sound, as related to Stereophile. Dave, I had just gotten into the high end and I had to buy some of the components I auditioned, plus all the other stuff one considers a necessity after getting into the high end; I wasn't wasting any one's time. But what I did then is impossible... | |
| Class "A" sound, as related to Stereophile. Dave, there is a very good reason for your confusion, and you stated it quite well.Tech Talk is the name of this forum; that means we know a thing or two about how to get class "A" sound out of less than class "A" equipment.I will give a limited e... | |
| Class "A" sound, as related to Stereophile. Viridian, those are the same exact tweeters I'm using. The magnetic field can snatch a screwdriver out of your hands. It was in the middle 80's when I began with the drivers and the crossovers, and only recently did I finally come up with a cabi... | |
| Class "A" sound, as related to Stereophile. Dave, you really have a beautiful "man cave'; Empire Cartridges were my favorite back in the day, they looked and sounded good.Did that corner treatment solve all your problems? I'm not sure if I'm up to building one now, are they available for i... | |
| Class "A" sound, as related to Stereophile. Dave, have you been through room acoustics? Can you make specific recommendations? I've seen different things, but I don't know what does what.Thank you. | |

| Jazz for aficionados Emmanuel Pahud: Debussy/ Syrinx, is hauntingly beautiful.Lew Tabackin's "Pyramid" is likewise, ever so beautiful.Today is a good day for music; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fE0qBOhVsiMOld versus New, is not the issue; what I like and don't li... |
