| Ultra high resolution Is, uh,...these amps you know. Is, uh, ...your amp a goer, eh? Know whatahmean, know whatahmean, nudge nudge, know whatahmean, say no more? Tight selection of matched local feedback military grade transistors in special circuits with global power ... | |
| Cables Are Crazy, what do you think? You will run into many in life that choose to remain ignorant, rather than admit they are wrong. Exactly my point. Both points of view see the other as ignorant and there is a simple explanation for the divergence.The scientist likely knows enoug... | |
| Cables Are Crazy, what do you think? Don't bother as most people with physics degrees and most engineers do not readily accept that cables can make anything but the very slightest of differences to analog audio signals in a properly designed system. This is not new...just accept it a... | |
| How to explain our obsessions to the uninitiated? It is like cars or fashion clothing or golf clubs or stamps or gardening. The diversity and price ranges allow for individuality of expression from nostalgia to luxurious, from powerful loud to warm and subtle, from media touch-of-a-button-ease to... | |
| Any Magnepan users in Calgary??? Try contacting Gajgmusic - he is a local Calgarian who is one of the organizers of a Hi-Fi club. | |
| an amp without "electronic" sound Chord amps are worth adding to your list. | |
| an amp without "electronic" sound I'd go for a the tried and proven Class A design with modest levels of NFB. However, if you want warmth then tubes is the only way to go (but you know that). | |
| Studio/Performance Amps for High-End Systems? EMMLabs is used by as James Guthrie (Pink Floyd sound engineer).Here is a list EMM Labs UsersI agree about Peavy and others you mention - these are high power but low quality stuff and have a "PA" sound. | |
| midrange forwardness So why would the Soundlab sound relatively louder in the treble with a solid state amplifier? It won't.It will give you more bass (where impedance rises) - so if anemic bass is your problem then a tube will help. If you want more midrange then a ... | |
| Best used floorstanding / full range around $1000 Energy Veritas 2.8 used is up there in terms of good sound and good value. | |
| Please recommend a good recording oMozart Requiem Emma Kirby & Chris Hogwood with Academy of Ancient Muisc is very good - they play everything on period instruments or replicas - so it sounds closer to the orginal, as it was intended. | |
| Studio/Performance Amps for High-End Systems? I stand by the statement Some audiophiles will complain that studio gear sounds like a PA. Those who categorically dismiss all pro power amplifiers are simply showing their prejudices. The truth is they tend to sound quite different because they ... | |
| Studio/Performance Amps for High-End Systems? Good points. Pro amps cover two markets => venue sound reinforcement and recording studios. Only the studios will go for the higher quality sound (similar to audiophile except slanted towards precise/forward sound) whereas the sound reinforceme... | |
| midrange forwardness Chris,ATC will give you close to the best "electrostatic sound" with a tilt towards the lower midrange that is missing on some panels. Not as perfect in the midrange as you can get from the best panels but overall much better dynamically (not laid... | |
| Good Country recordings Opps I meant Martina McBride... |
