| How close to the real thing? "If you watch it on your 20 inch Sony you are getting 10% of the experience, but if you watch it at Imax, closer to say 80%."I like your Grand Canyon analogy Bjesien. But do you really mean to say "experience" or would "information" be more precis... | |
| How close to the real thing? I wish that I could understand by what measure you guys are able to quantify realness. Is it information? IMO, realness is more than that. A high resolution photograph can yield all the empirical information of a direct viewing, but it's not the s... | |
| How close to the real thing? "BTW, IMO people that buy audio equipment aren't heroes, people that engineer them are."Well said Irvrobinson, but that only serves to prove my point. True heroes are self-effacing. Bravo! | |
| How close to the real thing? "Yes, but it's not exclusive. I frequently play solo piano CDs, and several times people have come to the door and thought it was a real piano playing."I'm not obtuse, I hear what you guys are saying, and I can only conclude that I need to get out... | |
| How close to the real thing? Have you ever been walking down a residential street on a summer day and heard a musician practicing his guitar, horn, drum set or whatever in his apartment? You know immediately, don't you? | |
| CJ sounding preamp with balanced outputs? I can second what Knghifi suggested. Inserting NOS Amperex 6922s in my 17LS was a revelation. | |
| Would you pay to listen? "Assuming the room is great"That's the key isn't it. If this system was put together in such a way, that it was widely touted by symphony conductors, well respected musicians and the audio elite as nonpareil, I would probably fork over. Otherwise,... | |
| A 'First' System for my Son "Figure out how much you're willing spend and schedule a time to take him shopping to listen to different equipment with a not to exceed budget. Get him what he wants."That's great advise. Nice post Mceljo. To me, choosing a stereo for your son, w... | |
| Outstanding 300b's for Push-Pull Amp? Hi Latinsamba1, I stopped considering the Sophias because there was talk of them being rebranded. I took a new look and they do sound interesting. Thank you. | |
| Would you pay to listen? Would there be pretty hostesses? | |
| Outstanding 300b's for Push-Pull Amp? Hi Charles1dad, That was my initial thought too. A tech and amp builder tried to explain the difference to me but the explanation pretty much went over my head. It had something to do with linearity and the different demand a push-pull circuit put... | |
| new to tubes "all i know is that others are using his speakers with tubes with no issues."With all due respect Rayray8, if you're going to use that as the main criteria on which you base decisions, IMO, you're going to be in for a rough time of it. Tvad is not... | |
| Are audiophile speakers turn on for single women? "The only possible turn on for single woman would be the cash register ringing in her little head."Bingo! | |
| What's the objection to Floor Standing Speakers? "That's a novel idea." Really? That's your idea of a snide comment Manoterror? | |
| How to shop for speakers? I'm reluctant to recommend a speaker to someone I don't know, but I kind of like Stanwal's recommendation if the JM Lab house sound appeals to you. |
