| Some tables have soul and some not In "audiophilic" terminology the word "soul" is synonymous with life. I suppose in that context, it could be used in some instances in regard to classical music; however, it is also commonly used in regard to a "genre" of music. In the context in ... | |
| Is Audible Illusions building preamps now? Unsound is right. | |
| Tube amp on/off: best practice? The safety factor has priority. | |
| Tube amp on/off: best practice? If you listen all day, and turn it off at night, that's fine; but it's realy not good turning tube gear on and off like you describe, and I forget why or why not. | |
| Some tables have soul and some not Every segment of society has it's own unique dictionary. You will not find the word "soul" in an electronics dictionary; but you would find it in a "stereo" dictionary, or a jazz and blues encyclopedia. While I am not an expert in classical music ... | |
| Upscaling Speakers, Downscaling Amp...What to Do? Curriemt11, your statement depends on what kind of listener you are, in regard to "electronics are of relatively lesser importance". People who like "Boom Bada Boom!" will always choose speakers, while people who listen for inner detail in music w... | |

| Top 10 Jazz recordings ever In regard to the Horace Silver video, you just proved your inability to appreciate something special and Oscar Pettiford is still the "best bassist ever" as far as I am concerned. | |

| Top 10 Jazz recordings ever Rok2id, there you go again. You didn't even make a comment on that Horace Silver post, and now you're telling me what I should post. Since what I'm thinking would be inappropriate to post *&&^^%^$#@, I'll refrain from any comment. | |
| Upscaling Speakers, Downscaling Amp...What to Do? Marakanetz, mid-fi and 3D soundstage don't even go in the same sentence. There are numerous amps that would not compromise the 3D soundstage. It's not the brand, but the quality of the parts, which is why ARC or any other brand will have many diff... | |
