| Neutral Sounding Silver Cables? Calgarian5355- It's a shame you can't avail yourself of The Cable Co's program. Perhaps a less risky proposition would be the Kimber KS-1121 or 1126, both combining silver and copper conductors. (http://www.kimber.com/products/interconnects/analog... | |
| Neutral Sounding Silver Cables? Ricred1- Did you directly compare the Silver Audios to either the Kimber KS-1030's or 1130's(the least expensive, all silver Selects)? If so- which Silver Audios? | |
| electrostats vs ribbon drivers Mrtennis- Many designs that incorporate ribbons, fail to properly blend the speed/dynamics of the tweeter, with the other system drivers(useually cones). Generally speaking; that makes the ribbon stand out as a separate/more obvious entity, even t... | |
| Neutral Sounding Silver Cables? Ricred1- I used Silver Audio's Hyacinth's for a number of years, between my pre, monoblocks & woofer amp. Did you ever try the Kimber Selects(either 1030's or 1130's), in comparison? I almost went to the Appassionata, but found everything I de... | |
| electrostats vs ribbon drivers "the senses are unreliable. witnesses to an event often present different versions of an event.""what you hear one day, you may not hear on another.""there is a myriad of experiemnets in the psycholgy journals, which discuss the unreliability of p... | |
| Neutral Sounding Silver Cables? I should have mentioned: Do yourself a favor and contact The Cable Company, to audition a pair of Kimber KS-1130's(or whatever else suits you) for yourself, via their Lending Library. There's a small fee, that will be applied to whatever you might... | |
| Neutral Sounding Silver Cables? I had used a number of cables between my BAT VK-D5 and pre, before settling on the Kimber KS-1130's(about 6 years ago). They simply let everything through(freq extension-both directions, without bloat, becoming sibilant or grainy/great sound stage... | |
| electrostats vs ribbon drivers Mrtennis- On what are you basing your assertion, that ribbons are, "hot?" | |
| All Amps Sound the Same.... Mrtennis- How does Math, "sound?" (just kidding) I know Acoustics, Electronics and gear specs are all about Math, but- ANY two amps are going to differ in SOME measureable parameters. | |
| What does it take to qualify as a reviewer? I agree with most of what Elizabeth mentions. But- It is apparent that, in many cases, ears were NOT a prerequisite. | |
| All Amps Sound the Same.... DEJA VU(Stereo Review)! Or perhaps, simply a plagerizing of some of Julian(stone-deaf) Hirsch's better columns(some were more hilarious than others). | |
| All Amps Sound the Same.... If you can't perceive the differences in tonality, resolution, sound staging, imaging, ambience recovery, etc, between various amps; you're blessed(think of all the money you'll save, by NEVER having to upgrade). | |
| Best travel destinations for audiophiles Somewhere with a LOT of live music venues, possessing GOOD acoustics. | |
| What Are The Best 12AT7's and 12AX7's? The very, "best" 12AT7 family tubes, are supposed to be Tele ECC801S's(http://www.jacmusic.com/nos/ECC81.htm), and for the 12AX7 family; the ECC803S's(http://tubedepot.com/pa-ecc803s-tele.html). Good luck, trying to find those, for less than your ... | |
| Let's ID Speakers with 1st order Crossover design. While in the speaker/electronics repair business; I saw quite a number of cheap(read, "junk") speaker systems, pass through my shoppe. Without exception: they all were crossed over with one cap on the mids(when applicable), and one cap on the twee... |
