For sure OP running wrong amp in wrong room, tube amp and some room treatments a good start if keeping Klipsch.I have 1989 Klipschorns, had to redo the whole thing, but ... | |
| Capacitor Prior to burn in, I generally hear what I'd describe as an uptight sound, lack of transparency, also, excessive attack , attenuated decay. I'm not going to generalize about tonality, timbre. For sure you'll know when they reach burned in state, of... | |
| Critical listening and altered states How about if I hire a robot for the objective listening, it will disabuse me of my emotional connection, aka delusional pleasures of connecting with the music. Millercarbon reminded me the machine/robot doesn't hear. In that case I have to do the... | |

| Contact Dennis Had? Based on above responses seems Dennis has tired of high involvement with audio. His new Inspire line is low key, sort of cottage industry product. He obviously sold his baby, Cary in order to get away from all the hassles involved with high end au... | |
| Channel Imbalance Mystery May be tube related or not. It may also be a recording issue, I hear many early stereo and some mono recordings have left of center bias. Sometimes this is intended bias created by engineers/producers, other times poor remastering and or duplicati... | |
| What process do you use to purchase cables? You need to finalize your amp purchase first. Listen with present cables, determine what you don't like as to sound quality, purchase new cable based on that knowledge. Cables are final purchase when building system. | |
| If I could afford, I’d purchase 100% Oswald Mills Audio gear Beauty in eye of beholder. I recall a thread somewhere here where someone claims they can or could have these plinths made from scratch for pennies on the dollar compared to OM. | |
