| Tone, Tone, Tone ! Thanks for all the great responses!@almarg (and others)Yes the whole tone/timbre thing is fairly vexed. Like a lot of us, when I hear, or play, unamplified instruments I am struck by the richness and harmonic beauty (and, often, "warmth"). I th... | |
| Tone, Tone, Tone ! jsautterSo what I see is a bunch of speaker design "no-nos"Which somehow add up to very good measured performance - very often more neutral than the vast majority of measurements found for other speakers. Take a look even at JA's measurements for... | |
| Tone, Tone, Tone ! A perfect example for me would be Harbeth. If this is what you like then more power to you, but please dont mistake these type of designs as accurate. Bad example, I think. At least for certain models. The SuperHL5plus I owned was beautifully ... | |
| New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2 Yes Mark, that whole review was as high praise as I've seen from Atkinson. He was clearly taken by the speaker.Funny how even a little tweak can change things. I bet Jeff Joseph was eager to get the new speaker to Stereophile knowing it was twea... | |
| New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2 I just received my digital version of the July Stereophile in which John Atkinson does a follow up review of the new Perspective2 Graphene speakers.JA’s review of the original Perspectives caused some head-scratching because it seemed somewhat res... | |
| I went to THE show and didn't make any friends ... I disagree with what seems to be the idea that one can't get a decent idea of a speaker's sound at a show. At various shows over the years I have encountered a speaker's sound that got my attention for one quality or another, and when I sought th... | |
| I went to THE show and didn't make any friends ... I enjoyed your show report erik.Did you hear the small 120 MBL speakers?If so, what did you think, and do you have an opinion on MBL speakers generally speaking? | |
| Dealers and exaggerated treble Can't say I've noticed this, myself.But then I'm usual active in my speaker auditioning: if not asking for a particular position for the speakers, then ensuring I experiment with my seating position to get the best, smoothest sound I can hear from... | |
| How do you store and catalog your vinyl? The most egregious job I ever had related to this hobby was ripping all my CDs so I could stream them and put the physical copies away.It was such a time-consuming, mind-numbing chore that I gave up part way through, had a local "cd-ripping compan... | |
| Can we finally put Reel to Reel out of its misery? Put it to rest people. Indeed uberwaltz.I've seen a few fancy RTR that look kind of cool.But the physical aspects of using RTR tape has always been a turn-off for me. | |
| How do you store and catalog your vinyl? I "only" have about 670 LPs, but that's a huge leap from a couple years ago when I had just a few. Storing and organizing has become a pressing problem.I decided to use the discogs app to catalogue my collection. It's been a slog over the past ... | |
| Can we finally put Reel to Reel out of its misery? Put it to rest people. Reel To Reel holds no appeal to me.Would I sit and listen to a system playing RTR? Definitely!Am I even remotely tempted to integrate RTR in my set up?No.People may say the move from the ease of digital to getting in to vinyl is cumbersome - gotta... | |
| Thiel Owners Thanks for that, ronkent.Ugh. Earbuds.... | |
| Thiel Owners Somewhere in the bowels of this thread I believe I posted this link before:http://thielaudio.blogspot.com/2009/09/please-share-your-memories-of-jim-thiel.html#comment-formWith Thiel being gone, I'm curious how that blog is still up and who if anyo... | |
| How many of us are truly satisfied with their systems? If someone has been satisfied for 10 or 20 years, I may start to believe him.If an audiophile says "I recently introduced X in to my system and it's so wonderful I'm totally satisfied and I'm 'done.'"Then this means nothing. |
