| Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. @ramtubesFirst, the concept of your building the type of switch box I mentioned is very intriguing. I'm not sure the idea still fits well with my system, which has become more complex (I'm introducing subwoofers, crossover etc).But I will certain... | |

| Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. @ramtubesYou’re gonna hate me: My amps are Conrad Johnson Premier 12 monoblocks and an old Eico HF81.BTW, since you asked about hearing "the other side" for power cords:I was cured of power-cord-fever early on. I had been given a selection of Shun... | |
| Thiel Owners jab,oooh...in amberwood! The pictures I've seen of 2.7s in amberwood are stunning. | |
| Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. Actually, the talk of switchers raises another question I'd like to direct to Robert:I have more than one amp I like to use for my system. It's a minor pain to switch the cables, but it sure would be nice to have a switcher where I could switch b... | |
| Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD glupson,What it means, I suspect (and from what I've read, and though many may protest) is simply that the vinyl sound can be captured by digital. Which makes sense to me.I don't do needle drop recordings for various reasons. My system isn't set... | |
| Thiel Owners Tom, thank you! Very informative, and that's a note I will save.As for the expiring of the electrolytic capacitors in my 02s, what type of symptoms occur when the capacitors start to expire? Not sure if I should bother replacing them.vair68rober... | |
| Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. Roger, thank you for the reply about cartridge impedance. | |
| Thiel Owners Tom,More great reading, thanks.QUESTION:As you may know I have the 2.7s.I don't know how old my pair is, bought them over a year ago - apparently a dealer pair - though I know the 2.7s were introduced in 2012.Can you give me some insight as to ho... | |
| Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD I have never wanted to be one of those "vinyl is better than digital, 'cause digital sux!" converts to vinyl.But...my goodness vinyl is seductive!Since I've been listening to so much vinyl it's skewed my perception of digital a little bit. Digita... | |
| Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD Welcome to the club chcumo63!Careful about vinyl - it seems to have a particularly addicting quality and the ability to drain bank accounts ;-) (Especially if you are in to new vinyl, good quality or rare). | |
| Joseph Audio RM-33LE vs DeVore Gibbon 8, my experience. Interesting uberwaltz.I haven't heard the old Joseph speakers, but of the Pulsars and Perspectives, I have sensitive ears yet I find I can listen to them forever, and get sucked totally in to whatever they are playing. Of course, I also love the ... | |
| Magico A3 vs. Joseph Audio Perspective vs. Spendor D9 @skyscraperThe concept of warmth is lost on me. I’ve been many live performances and concerts and none of them had any sound I’d describe or understand as being warm, so I don’t understand what that means in terms of sound reproduction. That's ... | |
| Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. Ralph,Thanks.I didn't totally follow all that, but that's due to my level of ignorance. | |
| could somebody help me out on the benefits of expensive phono and speaker cables? 10% is not reasonable. I’m my system, that gives me 17k to play with. Not happening. 18-20% was my sweet spot. ^^^^ This is why it’s good to bring some alternative viewpoints for balance, when newbies come to an audiophile forum to ask about cable... |
