| Blind Shoot-out in San Diego -- 5 CD Players Sabai, no, I was responding to Mrtennis who was raising the difficulty with your position, I was simply saying the are always problems with seeking certainty, we can only move with accumulated personal knowledge, and reading the thought of others ... | |
| Blind Shoot-out in San Diego -- 5 CD Players Mrtennis, what you say is true, but how would one break through the paralysis, or ever be in a position to know that one can make the 100% perfect decision? Until there is a local store carrying every piece of equipment made, with a loaner program... | |
| How close to the real thing? Yup, not even 1000 Class A watts with zero NF is going to do that - "close" in so many ways, but it never really sounds like the real thing - even if the "gap" is small, it is unpassable for whatever reasons from recordings thru source thru electr... | |
| New production EL84/6BQ5 tubes? Anyone hear the Psvane Reference? | |
| How close to the real thing? Wow, that JBL Marantz Mac setup is something else! | |
| How close to the real thing? Do Ayre and Pass use zero feedback desings in their amps? I only know they sound really good. | |
| How close to the real thing? Frank, do you think lower power versions of the same basic amp circuits tend to have inherently less distortion than more power? I don't have super sensitive speakers (89db), listen acoustic jazz (trio to octets) 90% of the time, and I suppose I j... | |
| How close to the real thing? Speaking of dynamics, can someone clarify micro (resolution an speed?) versus macro (grunt and drive?) dynamics? I was also thinking about the issue of high power amps, for some reason, lower power amps usually sound better to me, a pair of tubes ... | |
| Genalex Gold Lion EL84 :( not yet! | |
| Genalex Gold Lion EL84 Bought the GLs from Roger Modjeski who seems to love these reissues, he recommended them over the Ei that typically come with RM10 amp. | |
| Pass Aleph 30 vs. J bump - and any thoughts on 3 versus 30 versus J? | |
| How close to the real thing? I would think high efficency speakers with powerful amps would make distortion and noise worse -- no? | |
| Would you pay to listen? I would rather spend $600 and spend 3 days at RMAF - a great "vacation" for audiophiles. The worst sounding system I ever heard, well at least I felt the need to leave the room, was an all Cello multiamp, blah, blah with huge speakers costing seve... | |
| Best Integrated, period. David12, I definetly agree with you about SS and Class A, that has been my experience too, but I do wonder about some of those Luxman A/B amps that are highly regarded, I do wonder if they somehow have managed to transcend the limitations of A/B p... | |
| $3500 to spend on a tube preamp....ideas? oops, the great sound in the DeHavilland room may have also had something to do with the source, amp, and speakers as well. I was very close to buying one, till I saw the Mapletree which simply sounded like the though behind it was very sound - no... |
