| Jeff Beck "performing this week" OMG Ok - just in case nobody takes me seriously (which I fully expect being a crazy and opinionated a b*stard that I am).Just listen to this and if you don't get it then you have no soul. (yeah - you are lost forever if this does not move you - give i... | |
| Jeff Beck "performing this week" OMG Aldavis,I got this on Blu-Ray and it is indeed everything you say and more. I thought I should add something to your thread (after picking my jaw up off the floor).The audio quality is awesome - although I might be biased 'cause they use ATC at Ro... | |
| Does impedance matter? Stanwal,You make excellent points and I am in complete agreement. most audiophiles want the capability of altering the sound of their system. This may be good or bad, but it is the simple truth This statement just about sums it up. However it pre... | |
| Does impedance matter? Shadorne, Nothing wrong with what you suggest but what if someone doesn't like the 'sound' of SS amps, normally used by manufacturers in thier powered speakers? Then they are in luck because the majority of speakers are passive. And, who sez that... | |
| Focal and Dr Who? Wow, you suddenly realize how dangerous this hobby is, THEY may only be sleeping...It is actually a lot worse than that. If you listen carefully to the Daleks when they speak you might recognize a voice from early childhood....yes indeed, this is... | |
| Room EQ I'm using E-Mu 0404 USB. It is nothing special - although it does have 24 bit capability - but honestly you really don't need anything special for in room bass measurements and the ECM8000 microphone is good enough. I am not sure is if the room EQ... | |
| why so many benchmark dac1's on audiogon? Waynefia,Well said. Your description makes audio equipment seem more akin to a fashion accessory for most audiophiles than some technical apparatus designed to perform a precise task.... | |
| Speaker Technology over the last 10 years i think you are ignoring the obvious. Obviously cone speakers, for all their faults, are extremely popular - not just with consumers but also in professional audio engineering circles and with musicians and artists.I don't know of many multi-mil... | |
| what is the theory behind maple stands and racks? The trouble with oak is it is far too lofty and grab up all the light. Maples have been oppressed. | |
| Does impedance matter? Magfan,Excellent point. It begs the question why most speakers and amplifiers are not built as a matched set - what I mean is specifically engineered amplifiers for each driver/load. It also begs the question why designers put capacitance and indu... | |
| What does microphonic tube sound like? If the CD player is indeed overdriving the preamp what would be the remedy short of getting a new CD player?You simply need to attenuate the signal a little - a longer interconnect (12 foot or so) might do it as unfortunately your CD player outpu... | |
| great sounding cds to audition new speakers whereas orchestral recordings or recordings with amplified instruments can cover a lot of sin. Exactly. If you can't follow any instrument of your choosing on large orchestral or big band (due to their being too much going on) then that indicates... | |
| great sounding cds to audition new speakers No worries - I did read your post - I was just trying to clarify that some awful CD's do sound better on some systems in a sense that multiplying two minuses can make a positive. This means that a few bad recordings have the potential to be quite ... | |
| Jazz at the Pawn Shop... You want excruciating; listen to Barry ManillowDid you mean to say excrement? ;-) | |
| Speaker Technology over the last 10 years i still can't understand how anyone can get excited by cones. i have never heard a full range all-cone speaker that i have liked.That is quite a strong statement. Have you had your hearing tested lately? I think most everyone would agree that it ... |
