| What is meant exactly by the description 'more musical'? @atmasphere Understood. The ‘distortion product’ isn’t responsible for shaping or determining all of the various parameters that must be satisfied for a product to be considered musical. I don’t think that you are saying that it is, please clarify... | |
| Cost Incurred to Achieve a Vinyl LP Replay The question that is a vaguery, is how much monies, from a range of approx’, £3K ($3.2K) - (£350K ($400K) does one feel justified in spending/believes needs to be spent, to satisfy their hobby (lessons learned) needs and need to be entertained (en... | |
| Is it important to long demo or own HIGH END gear to have a fair accurate view about it? People who haven’t heard a component shouldn’t have an opinion on how it sounds. Price has nothing to do with it. If it’s too expensive for you then don’t buy it. The fact that it exists at all means someone can afford it. I used to find value in... | |
| What is meant exactly by the description 'more musical'? Musical - it has to be an umbrella that covers a whole raft of performance parameters and requires they be within acceptable limits. I think pace, rhythm, and timing come under the musical umbrella but also tonality and timbre. Since it’s hard to ... | |
| REL owners, how many clicks on your gain and crossover @paulcreed “Roose, why don’t you understand rel says everyone will probably end up around 15 clicks. Why can rel claim how many clicks but I can’t ask how many clicks, makes no sense.” REL doesn’t say that. They suggest a starting point and at... | |
| REL owners, how many clicks on your gain and crossover I don’t understand why it would help to know where someone else has their crossover points set on an unknown pair of speakers? | |
| Do you adjust your subwoofer I’ve two REL Carbon Special and occasionally I’ll bump the volume up a notch when I pull the screen down and watch a concert DVD. It’s a bit of a nuisance with the RELs as the gain knob isn’t marked with positions and I can’t feel the notches whic... | |
| Recommendation Tube Integrated Synthesis - a real sleeper in the high-end world. I first heard them with Harbeth speakers at Dejavu in northern Virginia and they sounded fantastic. I have the Synthesis A100 Titan integrated, KT66 tubes for 100w channel. This is a wonderful amp... | |
| Dream Amps I Could Not Afford 20 Years Ago Now Undesirable @shtinkydog I ran it with a pair of QLN Signature speakers and later I picked up a used pair of Apogee Caliper Sigs that I bought from the same dealer. The Krell had enough ‘on paper’ watts for the Calipers but couldn’t deliver enough current, so... | |
| Have you found your "End-Game" speakers yet? I have. And it feels so good!!! I like my ProAc D40R but I doubt they’re end game. When the mood takes me I’ll probably be tempted to switch. | |
| Dream Amps I Could Not Afford 20 Years Ago Now Undesirable When I lived in the UK I lusted after a Krell KAV300i. It was popular in the audio press and I really, really wanted one. It was 3500 GBP back then and I couldn't justify the cost. When I moved to the USA a few years later I found an open box 30... | |
| Cats chasing laser pointers Aren't we all programmed to pursue materialistic pleasures? Is there any real way to avoid it? If not audio gear, it will be something else. A simple way to curb excesses is to avoid the use of credit. Save up for your gear, pay cash, avoid spend... | |
| Blue Jeans Cable Iconoclast Oddly enough I can't see a way to order Iconoclast cables at the Blue Jeans website. The links and information still push people over to the Iconoclast website which is autonomous. I'm a big fan of Iconoclast, having recently invested in two run... | |
| Feickert Volare + Shick 9 + Hana Umami Red Great choice. I had two Volares with different arms then moved to the Woodpecker. The Volare is a really good table. I did have some problems with isolation on my table, it would pickup from a nearby sub and I spent a lot of time figuring out how ... | |
| Is Aurender N10 still a good option @bill_k That’s entirely true Bill, but there’s a much smaller price difference on the used market which is how I acquired both my units. (About a $1000 or so). I think the N10 is a good player and definitely still relevant, to the OP’s question. |
