| HD Down Load compared to Analog. Orpheus10, I agree that digital is evolving nicely and some of the HD formats are capable of excellent sound reproduction. My point is, for now anyway, there are always other factors involved that effect sound reproduction, such as: experience, sk... | |
| HD Down Load compared to Analog. I think it is easy to get caught up into the x format or source is the best, especially after the time, effort, and money that can be expended to be somewhat satisfied in the final results. I have been enjoying vinyl for about 50 years and have an... | |
| high power tube amps vs ss Atmasphere, are you comfortable telling us which in your opinion are the 5 ss amps that come close? Just curious. | |
| Listener fatigue: what does it really mean? If one is exposed to sounds greater than 90 dB for an average of eight hours per day without hearing protection, hearing loss will most likely result. As the volume increases, the safe time of exposure decreases. Quote from Stoneybrook School of M... | |
| Album which you have listened to most? In the short term it is always changing so here's a list of 3 that have been around for 30+ years that seem to find their way back to the turntable. The Who "Who's Next". The Mahavishnu Orchestra "Visions of the Emerald Beyond." Deep Purple "Come ... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? I have driven my Ohms with 32 watt/ channel tube amp. Tubes will usually produce higher spl than ss at same output, but I did experience a couple of instances of amp clipping so in my experience there is a risk of equipment damage at this power le... | |
| Listener fatigue: what does it really mean? No dilemma Csontos, interested in other responses, thanks for yours. Agree with your upgrade comment, including source material. I'm a believer in plan your work and work your plan. I find that if you don't know what you want, you have very little... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? 1 watt into the Ohms,which are not highly efficient, will probably not even be audible or barely so. | |
| Listener fatigue: what does it really mean? Does it follow from the previous responses that a large amount of amplifier "headroom" should reduce listener fatigue, assuming the amp is capable of low distortion sound reproduction? I keep running into the relationship between fatigue and I'll ... | |
| Listener fatigue: what does it really mean? Definitely agree with Atmasphere detail/brightness comments. Good or improved detail, upgrading a system component for example, to me is when you are able to hear things that were more hinted at but not defined before and relaxed presentation woul... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? I have been using a pair of Ohm 200 MKIIs in my system for about 12 years. I have made regular upgrades to the system based on my impression of the "weak link in the chain". After each change the Ohms have been fully capable of revealing the impro... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? For Albertporter or any other Crimson fan, most of my KC recordings are very poor. Steve Wilson and Robert Fripp are reissuing the KC catalogue from Robert Fripp's original master tapes both digitally and on vinyl. The recordings are superb, altho... | |
| Listener fatigue: what does it really mean? O.K., we have a top notch amp manufacturer giving his expert opionion on how the amplification process can contribute to listener fatigue, is that the whole story? The presence or absence of odd ordered harmonics perceived by the brain as noise ex... | |
| Survey-What is your most used source? LP, but increasingly a laptop to an external DAC, secondary system in bar. | |
| Listener fatigue: what does it really mean? I find Ralph's response extremely interesting as I detect a hint of the significance of the subjective experience as a significant part of the musical equation. I don't think engineers like thinking like this, fortuneately for us subjective listen... |
