| How close to the real thing? In his recent work (unpublished so far) he has shown that if music is delivered intact to the brain, it is processed in the limbic system. He has also shown that as a stereo system violates human perceptual rules, the processing is moved to the ce... | |
| How close to the real thing? "Progress ad Infinitum", "Karl Popper" & "verisimilitude", "Copernicus" That's what I was trying to say Kirkus, or at least it would have been if I was smart enough. IMO, this has become a very worthwhile thread to the extent that it has veere... | |
| Favorite 300B: Sophia vs KR Well Sakahara, you impress me as being a very astute listener with a keen sense of value. So I followed your lead and purchased the same Sophia tubes. That means that if I don't like them, it's your fault. :-) In Seriousness, being the clod that I... | |
| How a turntable is like a gym membership Tvad, of the reasons you stated, the limited lifespan of tape makes the most sense to me. That's a hard one to get around. | |
| How a turntable is like a gym membership That's the opinion I hear from every corner Mapman. Given the amount of money audiophiles have shown they're willing to spend to wring the least iota of nuance from their systems, why is this format being so neglected? | |
| How a turntable is like a gym membership Actually, given the enthusiasm for analog, I'm surprised that reel-reel hasn't found it's way back. I know about the tape project, but that doesn't seem very reasonable to me. I've never heard a top flight tape source but people I have respect for... | |
| How a turntable is like a gym membership Koegz, I'm sure you don't really mean to say that anyone who doesn't enjoy the extra tweaking involved in vinyl, doesn't possess the requisite passion for music to appreciate it at a level beyond background music. To call a person who said, and me... | |
| Modwright sony xa 5400cd It would be great to hear a comparison with the Modwright 9100ES if anyone has heard both. | |
| How a turntable is like a gym membership It's not the flipping of sides or lifting of tonearms that bothers me about analog, it's the setup and tweaking and never being sure that you're at anywhere near your turntable assembly's potential. I realize that proper set-up, component matching... | |
| Buy new integrated or vintage? "I do a lot of research and then impulse buy when good deals and finances align."Me too. I knew that I should have patented it. | |
| Best speaker in the US $ 30-45.000,00 range What happened? Does this mean Tidal is no longer the unequivocal choice? | |
| How close to the real thing? "My conclusion is that it is just one of many design and execution factors that affect results depending on how well it is executed."That seems sensible to me. It's hard to believe that anyone would employ negative feedback in their design if ther... | |
| How a turntable is like a gym membership I've stopped going to a pal's house to listen with him because of his newly rediscovered passion for vinyl. Whereas before we would both be flipping through his extensive CD collection and having a ball, now the ritual associated with choosing an ... | |
| Favorite 300B: Sophia vs KR "Thanks for the Shuguang Treasure source. Much lower prices" Much lower is right. It makes me wonder if the tubes they're selling are intended for export. I've read that Chinese export tubes are held to much more stringent standards. | |
| How close to the real thing? Hi Kirkus, I just pressed on your system and I'm so happy I did. How very cool! To saner times... |
