| Sacrilege Going from Tubes back to Solid State TVAD, you being a tube guy I am not at all surprised by your response and many tubeaholics will agree. If and when Meadowman moves from tubes to solid state the best we can suggest is what solid state amp will be the least offensive. You know, I w... | |
| Sacrilege Going from Tubes back to Solid State Flyski, there are many reviews on the Stratos, most all being very positive. All though this particular excerpt from your above mentioned Stratos review would lead one to believe that the Stratos is certainly not tubelike inspite of the fact the r... | |
| Sacrilege Going from Tubes back to Solid State I have no problem with grit and grain with solid state and I have horn loaded speakers! It probably helps to start with a ss amp known to have a grain-free treble like the Odyssey Stratos. I also like its warmish & transparent sound which make... | |
| A great article on Class D/switching amps Muralman1, you are right as rain, excellent point. I myself have determined that an oversized power supply has provided more depth on some gear I have owned. | |
| A great article on Class D/switching amps Tbg, keep in mind my above statement is strictly a matter of opinion but you probably already know that there are currently some digital amps that employ an analog power supply and some prefer it. It is unbelievable how much marketing hype there i... | |
| A great article on Class D/switching amps Most of the music hangs out in the midrange and is a critical area where digital amplification doesn't seem to address as well as analog. Besides that they (Class D) fail to provide the texture & harmonics that makes music an enjoyable experie... | |
| Questions for specialists on “warmth” If you have a preamp with tone controls and turned the treble counterclockwise you could hear a warmer sound but most audiophiles know that this extra circuitry will degrade the sound to some degree and there will be some loss of transparency &... | |
| Aragon 4004mkII OR Adcom GFA 555 II Adcom is not in the same league as Aragon. Many Aragon products are designed by highly acclaimed engineers that have produced some of the worlds finest audio gear. Aragon is superior to Adcom in every way especially from the pre Klipsch era. A sim... | |
| Ok this will be a good thread. Steve is correct the speakers are everything and go from there. | |
| Class D Amps - FM reception I had FM interference with the Nuforce 8s and was able to totally eliminate it by using a coax cable hooked up to the FM tuner for reception. | |
| what is good sound ? What is good sound? My conclusion is that it is sound that sounds good, period. | |
| what is good sound ? Marco, I agree with you. I do not need to join a club to distort what I believe sounds good to me. But many audiophiles want and seek approval from others and in the beginning I was not that much different. I'm sure that is why clubs like that exi... | |
| what is good sound ? Mrtennis, your asking for a clearly defined answer to a question that most audiophiles cannot give the definitive answer to. Any answers you get are subjective. You already know that given the variables involved in any system and the average liste... | |
| what is good sound ? Well, I say one more round of drinks and then on to business. Mrtennis, on the more serious side, it is both. Remove either the stereo system or the listener and you have no evaluation. | |
| what is good sound ? I find some of mrtennis's threads entertaining & fun, if nothing else this is the perfect exercise on how audiophiles interact or react to such a simple question. To put things in perspective, since we all are taking chances just by living, I ... |
