| Why power cable effect overall syste sound? Sebrof, I see no amping up, no marketing, no reports of seeing the pink elephants. I simply answered a direct question. This thread has drawn no overt attention and beside a few low-brow comments has remained relatively civil. And if you believe t... | |
| Why power cable effect overall syste sound? Rrog, I can appreciate your POV and comments. It good to see someone toss in some intelligent context instead of kindergarden size tomatoes--which is what I think the other poster was referring to. I would simply add a few points having read your ... | |
| Grand Prix versus Stillpoints I performed direct comparisons several years ago. Both racks have improved since that time I am sure so not sure how accurate this is to their current forms, of which I still have the Stillpoints in its current generation.The Grand Prix I had at ... | |
| Why power cable effect overall syste sound? Knownothing, >>>"In some ways, it doesn't so much matter what is going on with the many feet of unshielded cable in your walls as long as you are effectively dealing with radiation, interference and noise potentially present in the area d... | |
| Why power cable effect overall syste sound? There are some good responses, but this has been asked and answered so many times so a search might help avoid a new round of "heads in the sand".Also, this is a fun name calling and pot-shotting topic for arm-chair paper tigers so its hard to sor... | |
| Pure Class A shootout I have evaluated LT or owned amps from Gryphon, Symphonic Line, Clayton, Krell (KSA),NRG, Lamm, Essence, Classe' as well as host of tube and Hybrid designs, Of all the Class A bias amps I've lived with I found the Luxman MA800 (stereo) achieved th... | |
| Which tube monos? So many choices.Very intimidated I've tried a number of different amps with Wilson speakers and find that higher-current amps work the best. The Lamm Hybrid M1.2's should be on a short list, along with the robust ARC 210 mono's. The Atma-sphere models have amazing transparency bu... | |
| new Magico speakers the Q5 Speaker systems and their pricing will always be a topic of hot debate because more than any other component they are open to subjective assessment within a limitless array of contexts. Full range speaker systems are not inexpensive to produce and... | |
| new Magico speakers the Q5 Having listened with and enjoyed the 5's its good to know they have what looks like a full range model in a lower price category. Looking forward to hearing the Q at CES.Regarding retail cost, everyone has a different opinion regarding value and ... | |
| BEST RECORDING STUDIO In the US, likely SkyWalker Sound (Wow you'd have to see to believe), Das Boot (James Guthrie's studio) and possibly Bob Ludwig's studio (though I've not been there, I've heard great things). Lookout Sound studio in Montana has invested heavily i... | |
| first sound preamp I owned the four chassis Presence Deluxe Paramount from Emmanuel, a special custom unit. The only reason I don't still own it relates to space constraints as it required multiple racks and floor space--not sonics, which were about as good as I hav... | |
| Use of Power Conditioners vs. Direct into the Wall You should first determine how many dedicated lines you have available for your system prior to considering distribution. If you have a second, separate line (dedicated circuit breaker) you should separate the amplifier from the rest of the electr... | |
| Are there any albums you consider perfect? >>"I'll never forget the beatdown ELP took when I saw them at the Fillmore East back in the day."<<I am sure that could happen in some circumstances. They could hardly be termed "traditional" rockers in _any_ sense of the word and I am... | |
| Vandersteen Model 7: has anyone heard? Mad, I liked that the 7's disappeared better than just about any speaker I've ever heard including the 3's. The fact that they could be tuned to fit the room exactly that they were using them in with pitch perfect bass was also a huge plus.The 3'... | |
| Vandersteen Model 7: has anyone heard? I spent a long weekend in the room with them at RMAF and was amazed at how well balanced and detailed they were given the room/show conditions. Exceptional coherence are words that first spring to mind as well as tremendous micro dynamics, sound-s... |
