| Audio nonsense @djones51 You do realize that many of the greatest scientific minds in human history were open minded creative thinkers right? But you’re beyond that loosely goosey flakey stuff. | |
| Audio nonsense @jpwarren58 Just pointing out to you that the pointer has a point. Do you need them to tell you why they put a 0.02uf coupling cap between the driver and output tubes? No, likely not. You were commenting on arrows being something ludicrous. I... | |
| Audio nonsense @djones51 Jumping off a building and hitting the ground is more akin to putting a battery into a flashlight and turning it on than the intricacies of reproduced sound. An audio system in its complete form is a bit more complex than a flashl... | |
| Audio nonsense @jpwarren58 You do know, that depending on how a cable was designed, how the shielding was implemented and how it is connected to ground makes a difference, right? That why many cables have arrows, so the shield ground is on the right end of... | |
| Audio nonsense Naysayers unite… My favorite is the “I don’t need to try jumping off a skyscraper to know the outcome” Such a dumb argument. And so arrogant at the same time. This basic knowledge justifies all your beliefs. Right… Do we know all there is t... | |
| CHANGING FROM AUDIO RESEARCH TO AUDIO NOTE SYSTEM @ghasley You are correct! SEP indeed… Dragon chasing is very much one of my personality defects. So deep in the rabbit hole I can barely see the exit. After many hours of mucking about, I have managed to get all the voltages to where they ar... | |
| CLASS D MONO AMPS buy ATMASPHERE MUSIC SYSTEMS Love stories like this!!! Look forward to reading more about how people are responding to this. So cool that a company that is known for its OTL tech is producing something using completely different tech and from the comments, excelling at it!!... | |
| Your method for discovering great music. Oh, and of course movie soundtracks! Discovered Jr. Wells from watching The Hitmans Bodyguard Would have never looked into Chris Stapleton had it not been for Midnight Sky. Guess music is just everywhere… | |
| Your method for discovering great music. Radio supplies me with lots of random artists I would otherwise not know about( I’m lucky that I live in a market with two public radio stations, a great jazz station and a great classical station). Radio Paradise is another good source. I also... | |
| CHANGING FROM AUDIO RESEARCH TO AUDIO NOTE SYSTEM Kind of relevant, but perhaps not? So much praise is given to SET amplification and the magic flea watt amps produce with high efficiency speakers. As financial resources are limited for me, and as I wanted to get a general sense of what a SET s... | |
| Affordable vs. ultra expensive speakers - what's the difference? Affordable (anything) vs Ultra expensive (anything) Whats the difference? Competing at the Olympics vs Winning a Gold Medal. Whats the difference? Acceptable vs Excellence Whats the difference? The difference is everything, and the only thi... | |
| How does solo piano help you evaluate audio gear? I’m just going to leave this here. Bill Charlap Blue Orchids from “Stardust” It will tell you very quickly how well (or poorly) your system performs at the upper frequencies. | |
| China built tube amps @dkzzzz You use an iPhone? What computer are you using to access the internet? You watch TV? Listen to the radio in your car? Do you know where all your vegetables came from? | |
| China built tube amps Once the warranty is up on something, any decent local tech should be able to fix a tube amp should something go wrong with it. Not so much in the way of unobtanium parts inside a tube amp. Replace the electrolytic caps every 30 years, and it’s ... | |
| Quiz about adding dense mass to a vibration isolation application! Love these threads! To couple or decouple, that is the question. That and mass loading :) I keep coming back to the same answer. Whatever unwanted vibrations that exist in the component, they need to go away. So, couple the component to someth... |
