| What define "musicality" ? And what constitute "musicality" in audio ? "Musicality" - a term equivalent to watching music waveforms on an oscilloscope! | |
| Using Mark Levinson No. 380 preamp output simultaneously YES! No problem! | |
| Differences between cd transports? Anybody remember the CEC belt-drive transport from back around '90? | |
| The Carver Amp Challenge and the 21st Century and it's Failure @harrylavo : I bought my first Audionics CC2 back in '78. Later added a second one! Now, all these years later, still have one (number 3) in my collection! A superb sounding amp! | |
| Just picked up some Carver Amazings anybody famailiar with them? The Amazing Platinums do like a lot of power - four 12'' woofers per speaker! No need for subs! | |
| Just picked up some Carver Amazings anybody famailiar with them? My friend Harry had a pair of the Amazing Platinums back in '92 - '93. He bought them used for $600 (list price $5K). Powered them with a Carver amp. Signal source was a CD player. Excellent SQ: wide open sound stage, realistic image height, solid... | |

| When the Audio Critic was subjective. I would best describe Peter Aczel as a rationalist regarding music and its various storage/playback methods over the decades. He would always want to know "why" and questioned established dogma regarding music systems! | |
| When the Audio Critic was subjective. After the arrival in 1983 of the CD he abandoned the LP as a reference source. Aczel called LP playback "buggy whip" technology and embraced digital sources as music's future. Naturally this engendered much hate from the analog uber-alles crowd! | |
| When the Audio Critic was subjective. Aczel was also the first to publish a comprehensive chart for determining proper alignment for a wide range of tonearm lenghts, stylus-to-pivot distance, offset angles and overhang distances. This chart was for the Baerwald alignment. And he discu... | |
| When the Audio Critic was subjective. I have followed The Audio Critic from the beginning (1977) to its end. For the most part Peter Aczel's recommendations were spot on! He made a serious attempt to reconcile measurements with listening trials. Unlike the all-over-the-map conclusions... | |
| Strange turntable/speaker issue All phono stages should have a low cut filter! Much cleaner and tighter bass, less distortion! You can most likely still use your present stand for the TT. The floor is not a good place for any TT! Cement blocks are preferable! Here mass is your f... |
