| Soundstage...How to determine what's right? Your description on tube miking in order to add harmonics brought up questions. Does the same type effect occur with amplification, processing, etc.? Is this why so many people feel that tubed components sound so much better? It would be very dif... | |
| Best sound on classic rock cds The Boy From New York City - The Ad Libs - 1964 - amazing sound quality. | |
| Who else wants to keep their system secret? Some people give and others take - that has always been the way society works. As far as I am concerned, those who share their systems (and risk considerable scorn from self anointed experts) are more of the giving type - confident and open rather... | |
