| Most transparent amp you've heard? Mikelavigne's definition of "transparency" is as clear as any I've ever heard. The Placette Passive Linestage I owned at one time was the most transparent piece I'd ever encountered as well. | |
| Most transparent amp you've heard? Tvad- Maybe you've missed the fact that I'm a Sound Technician, have a number of recordings (done personally) for reference, and have spent the last 30 years training my ears to recognize certain musical nuances to facilitate the proper(natural) s... | |
| Most transparent amp you've heard? Tvad- If the reproduction in my listening room is true(largely- no claim to perfection here) to the original session, what more can be asked? The TacT RCS(modded), and room treatments that I am employing do a very nice job of eliminating the liste... | |
| Most transparent amp you've heard? ...and how would one know he had transparent speakers and a transparent amp unless he had a transparent preamp, and a transparent source.And, if one one had all these, how would one know what he heard was a transparent reproduction of the recordin... | |
| Dealing w reflective surface between loud speakers Kiwi- You mentioned looking into foam. Auralex makes some excellent products, and there are a number of options on eBay. Here's a page that might interest you: (http://search.ebay.com/acoustic-foam_W0QQ_trksidZm37QQfromZR40) | |
| New Fuse Thread . . . Albert- Don't think you are wasting your time here. Your(and Tvad's) encouragement and example of trying things for yourself is valuable. I believe there are many(perhaps a silent majority) that peruse these threads looking for tips to further the... | |
| fuses - the $39 ones or the 85 cent ones Newbee- I agree 100% with everything you stated(whether the devil made you do it or not): If you've tried whatever is being promoted for yourself. you've earned the right to your opinion- good, bad or indifferent. In reality the 8 track tape wasn'... | |
| fuses - the $39 ones or the 85 cent ones Newbee- That's what Eve said, and no one bought it then either! | |
| fuses - the $39 ones or the 85 cent ones Here we go again! If you don't try it for yourself- How will you EVER know, or be able to offer a valid opinion? VERY simple! These threads can end up so much like a Mobius Strip(or perhaps 8 track tape would be more apropos). | |
| fuses - the $39 ones or the 85 cent ones Mt T- To me music is the ONLY thing that matters, anything else is secondary. That's been the case since I was a teenager learning to play guitar and operate sound equipment. In my way of thinking(reasoning or logic)- If my system doesn't provide ... | |
| New Fuse Thread . . . Mr K- I started with the AC line fuses in my main amps, as I felt that would impact my system the most. You've obviously made the same educated choice. I'm changing the remaining fuses in a sequence, to better quantify what each change yields(rail... | |
| New Fuse Thread . . . I always hope for rationality. It's reasonable to try a taste of what's offered, before filling your plate with it. But- That's just my way of looking at it. | |
| fuses - the $39 ones or the 85 cent ones Mt T: Further, I'm certain that you must see more "relevance" to Coke and Pepsi in a discussion concerning music reproduction, fuses and audio equipment than that of the sounds/nuances of live music. Perhaps you could enlighten me? Is there a mirr... | |
| fuses - the $39 ones or the 85 cent ones Mt T: If you'll take the time to actually read my post you'll note that I stated, "That opinion will be totally and completely lacking in merit to ME", and that I was addressing DBT in general. There are a multitude out there that share the everyt... | |
| New Fuse Thread . . . Mr K- You'll note in my post that I mentioned these fuses are most beneficial in the AC line and DC rail positions. Those that I use in my amps are- (mains)Cary monoblocks:(2)3A/500V/Slo-Blo for AC and (2).5A/500V/Fast for Plate Voltage, (woofers)... |
