| It takes music to open up a tube preamp/amp ASA once again your writing and, I guess, thinking, is way beyond my comprehension. Most of your posts as far as I can tell are written in this stream of consciousness language. Briefly put: what the hell are you saying? Sorry if I upset your touc... | |
| It takes music to open up a tube preamp/amp Newbee, I accept all criticism. I do not think I have denigrated anyone. My tone may not sit well with you or any number of participants for that matter, but I am used to rhubarb. Insofar as your dire warnings go, I thank you for kindly pointing o... | |
| It takes music to open up a tube preamp/amp Have you ever given any thought to the fact that the human ear/brain processor is a very adaptable system and that your are the one adjusting to the sound regardless of what the equipment might be doing insofar as warming-up and, yes, breaking-in ... | |
| Home HiFi better than Live? My sixteen year old son holds that view based, I think, on rock concerts and the outdoor concerts he has heard at the Montreal Jazz Festival over the years. His main beef is with the fact that at live events you can't clearly hear the words of voc... | |
| How much Power do speakers really use ??????? Maybe Sean could give a more standard answer to the original poster. To indicate that TWL's experience is representative of what is normally encountered in the field is much like saying that a human can survive on five stalks of celery a day, fift... | |
| How much LF info on LPs? How about keeping the stylus in the groove with the kind of excursion required for deep bass at real volumes? The cd has less dynamic range than an lp? That statement is surely based on perceived dynamic range through casual listening. Insofar as ... | |
| How much LF info on LPs? Leaving aside the theoretical outer limits of vinyl's frequency range as proposed by TWL, which are one part wishful thinking to two parts religious belief, I would venture to say that there is enough low frequency information on most, if not all ... | |
| How much LF info on LPs? Euh, boy. Don't let facts get in the way of a good story. The analog LP is a perfect source. Nothing can touch it. Every recording available is a flat, clean, noise-free pressing, does not deteriorate with age and does faithfully reproduce 7hz (to... | |
| Your top 10 vinyl LPs that never made it to CD Montserrat Caballé, Music of Spain, Zarzuela Arias. | |
| Opinions on why this system is uninvolving Cables are one of the best known cures for audiophilia nervosa, they act directly on the mind of the listener, usually without affecting in any way, shape or form the signal that passes through them. A significant achievement in sound reproduction... | |
| Records are better. I actually heard it Another "Man finds religion" story". This goes with all the others such as "my ten year old daughter was astounded by the sound of vinyl" etc. Whatever sounds like music to your ears, go for it. Some still claim that 78s have it all over 33 1/3s, ... | |
| Can speakers be both "big" and "accurate" ? Obviously! The real question is quite the reverse: can small speakers be both "small" and "accurate". | |
| What music have you been buying lately? Going back to Soul Music/R&B: Joe Tex, Greatest Hits, Wilson Picket, A Man And A Half, Solomon Burke, The Very Best of..., Brook Benton, Endlessly, Otis Redding, The Very Best of...,Sam Cooke, Greatest Hits. Most of these on Rhino. | |
| Is 2 channel dead? Mono is still king! As you can see the vast majority of "audiophiles" is adamant about two-channel reproduction. Quite understandable that they are in a quandary when faced with more than two channels. On the one hand, when, for example, your beli... | |
| Garbage in - Garbage out? Rel is a realistic person. The fault with the source theory, which harks back to Ivor the Invincible, is that not each link in the chain is equal. By far the hardest components to design and build are speakers. Ivor was right, in a way, an analogu... |
