| Clever Little Clock - high-end audio insanity? audioaril! you gotta be careful mixing Floyd with uncle cidney. I spent way too much time trippin to Animals in the 70's and became a lifelong cynic as a result..but what a way to get there. | |
| Cars R OK, but what kind of motorcycle do you have started with a kawi 400 a long time ago. went to a '78 moto guzzi 1000sp and then to a '80 zuke 1000e when it was top of the heap. I still have it in a 1075 cc pro-street format. I also have a Kawi Nomad...best all round bike i've ever owned.. and... | |
| Miss your audio when traveling? what i'd do to have the hotel give the option of even a low midfy system over cable TV | |
| Cable isolators ??? i went to the local farm supply store and got ceramic insulators for rigging electric fences. They are about 1.5 in dia with a grove in the side to hold the cables. They seemed to have an effect in cleaning up the high end some as i remember. I do... | |
| VTL 75 75 deluxe amp...... Input/Driver tubes???? i recently installed mullard NOS 12at7s in my mb185s (from upscale audio)at about 35 a pop. substantial improvement everywhere. stick with the 6550s and try the winged Cs. they are very well balanced | |
| 12AT7 Tubes as far as hurting anything goes the 5751 and any of the 12-7 are drop and play just as Mechans says. These changes may affect how things sound however. In guitar amps the pre amp tubes, especially the first gain stage are often swapped out to affe... | |
| What Speakers Do Audio Insiders Own? a friend of mine owns a nice pro recording studio is a killer drummer and engineer. he is also sick of music by the time he gets home and wants a vette to work on. I know a lot of other musicians who use boom boxes because they make the money most... | |
| What will it take to have live music for everyone? I've placed a couple of folks in front of my system which, is quite good, and they didn't get it, and really had no interest in trying to. You really have to know how to critically listen to both live and reproduced music to first realize what is ... | |
| Is live reproduction the goal of audio? hmmm this post got kind of interesting. i think somewhere inthere is identification of the room as a huge factor but since the original post was about system goals.... conveyence of the ENERGY of the live experience is the conclusion i've come to.... | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? i once read an interview with Tom Shultz (guitar gear designer, lead player for Boston) and he felt that the elimination of Phase distortion in the digital relm got rid of a lot of the environmental cues (i.e. sence of space) that are present in a... | |
| Best 6550 regardless of price the new Tung Sols aint the same animal as the old by everything i've heard about them. I just retubed with a matched set of winged C 6550s from upscale audio (and most of the matching was good to the second decimal point and only out by about 1.5 ... | |
| Is harmonic accuracy and timbre important at all? when Plato stated "Also, once you put any loudspeaker into a room and connect it to a bunch of random components, it could be the most accurate speaker in the world, but it sure won't measure or sound that way. I think that is when some of the oth... | |
| Cable Break-in....again? i've been wondering about this break in thing lately. On several posts you can read the arguement that blind tests are not accurate because the mind's ability to accurately remember what was last heard is limited and the time to switch cables may ... | |
| Dunlavy SC IVa or B&W 802 i compared dunlavys to the 801n and the dunlavys smoked em. I second the vote for athenas or cantatas. they are supposedly easier to get dialed in to the room than the IVs (never tried to set up IV's). I have a pair of athenas and i can't really s... | |
| Undiscovered blues gems..... just got turned onto Howlin Wolfs chess records box set. way cool |
