| John Dunlavy On "Cable Nonsense" Every human voice has a different sound signature. I seriously doubt that any of the tenors mentionned would "measure" the same. I am not quite sure what type of measurement is implied or suggested though. Whatever note they sing (assuming they hi... | |
| Out of Control Gregm, seems something has gotten lost here in going from the general to the specific. My second post to you was made on the belief that you had said that you heard huge differences between the two sets of mono blocks I had taken has an example. A... | |
| Nikko Alpha Amps Made by Nikko of Japan. Seems the co. has disappeared, just conjecture. Must be pretty old (70s, I would guess). I remember they had a rather slim preamp with a rather large power amp, black, rack mountable. Looked great to me way back when. Proba... | |
| Out of Control Cornfedboy, Heck they're listening to electrical wall outlets there to. What's wrong with this world? You know what, the sound of the bloody computer is distracting when the music is playing, so I'll just turn it off and listen to the music and fo... | |
| Out of Control Great! I've been invited out of the analog forum, now I can't even mention trying to set decent standards in judging a component's performance through the use of human hearing. Damn you audiophiles are difficult. I just don't have the time to go t... | |
| Out of Control Gregm, and, oh, by the way, what are those HUGE differences you heard between the two components used as an example and how were those two (should I say four?)amplifiers auditioned? Where? When, concurrently, at one sitting, or on separate occasio... | |
| Best blues guitarist, Clapton or Green Piezo,I saw B.B. King last summer at the Molson Centre here in Montreal. He has to do his show sitting down now, but, believe me, there is still magic there. A so called music critic in "La Presse", a French daily here, harpooned him. He had no id... | |
| Best Male Singers of the 20th Century Chet Baker? Are we talking about the same Chet Baker? I feel sad every time I hear him. Good, but not a great singer, and not a great trumpeter either. Interesting to listen to, I admit. Had something to offer, yes. Greatness, though, is something... | |
| Out of Control Gregm, I have three words for you, which will forever and a day relegate me to the level of the great unwashed tin-eared mid-fi legions: "double blind testing". I'm sorry, I am a sceptic. My point is that the power of suggestion is such that we, a... | |
| Out of Control PBB agrees with Pcc, for whatever that's worth. There is one constant in Audiogoninsane and the written press in general: bigger bucks always equate with better sound. How insecure are audiophiles anyway? Can you really hear a significant differen... | |
| Best blues guitarist, Clapton or Green B.B. King is THE MAN. Even in his later years, the music is still there. Otis Rush and Duke Robillard, for different reasons, are up there too. I don't necessarily agree that Clapton is God. SRV and Roy Buchanan are, unfortunately, no longer with ... | |
| Definin' the blues (humor) German Blues! What a tangent! I ain't about to give up though on the Delta, Chicago and Texas (with the occasional foray to the West coast) as a primary source of the blues. I wonder, actually, if there is a German Tom Waits, does anyone know (or ... | |
| Audio Research preamp LS vs SP Not all have remote. The LS-8 MkII which is a current model (entry level product apparently, if you go by the manufacturer's copy, the threshold is simpply quite high for Audio-Research!). | |
| Audio Research... Thanks. On second thought, I prefer black. Hopefully, if the need arises down the road, someone else will too. Oh, the reason? Black almost disappears at the end of my listening room. I don't really like staring at the equipment that much as I lis... | |
| Cheapest Analogue Setup to Conquer Best Digital Jimbo 3 (sorry I didn't get your name right the first time) may I quote you from an earlier post of yours :"If you buy alot of used LPs, it's inevitable that some will be worn or otherwise unsatisfactory.". How can you be so irresponsible in this ... |
