| ??? Where Does "High End" Start ??? Putting a dollar value on it is not an objective measure. Listen to many systems at all price points, develop your listening and evaluation skills. Hearing systems that appeal to you, try to replicate that at home, once you've reached your goal yo... | |
| Would You Rather Own A Good SET Amp, Or A Great Push Pull Amp? @atmasphere Amp in question is special order Tektron, Italian company, amp was Robin at Robyatt Audio personal amp. | |
| Terry Reid Seems like everyday another one goes, RIP | |
| Would You Rather Own A Good SET Amp, Or A Great Push Pull Amp? Interesting, the analogy to a camera lens, although the vaseline quip not accurate. So, if we are discussing image outlines, I don't like my image outlines drawn overly precise so does that mean lens out of focus, seems I do like it a bit out of f... | |
| Would You Rather Own A Good SET Amp, Or A Great Push Pull Amp? I do have fond memories of that Dynaco ST35, will have first listening session with the Bendix 6094/EL84 amps this weekend. | |
| Electrical question You need dedicated line. The lower voltage won't hurt things b ut the sudden surge when microwave turns off could harm things in long run. | |
| The Accidental Tweak Some nudes are beautiful, all those parts very sexy. | |
| Would You Rather Own A Good SET Amp, Or A Great Push Pull Amp? Never owned a Dynaco ST35 but my best bud had one back in the day, this with Dynaco speakers in quad setup, Linn LP12, very nice. I built a Latino ST70 some years ago, adding some of my own mods, this with Merlin VSM. The Art Audio Carissa Sig... | |
| The death of ultra hiend audio It may not even be financials that brings about the end. Could be ownership is extremely wealthy, goes into audio just for the kick, interest wanes, ages out, company ceases to be. | |
| Who is Liable with Defective Unit Vetting the buyer just as important as vetting seller. | |
| Remastered CDs, HDCDs, SACDs I'm pretty much totally agnostic as to the provenance of recordings these days. Streams, cd rips, 16/44, up sampling, over sampling, whatever. It's all in how well the original mastering/mixing/engineering/production was done, can't make a silk pu... | |
| Would You Rather Own A Good SET Amp, Or A Great Push Pull Amp? On one hand I'm surprised by lack of support for SET here, on the other, not. The speaker is a critical part of the equation, flea power SET's, 300B and down really only fit for horns, single drivers, perhaps dual driver with minimalist crossovers... | |
| The death of ultra hiend audio I agree on the baby boomer and young people thing. But how hard could it be to stay in business if lets say you have $200K item with $50k built in costs which leaves $150K profit. I admit this may be an extreme, but a firm doesn't have to sell man... | |
| Suggestions for a holographic preamp? I'll stick with DHT with transformer volume control until the end. Units like Vinnie Rossi, Thomas Meyer, Coincident. These all highly resolving, immediate, very holographic, natural harmonic structure/timbre, will never go back to pots, resistor... | |
| Would You Rather Own A Good SET Amp, Or A Great Push Pull Amp? Per bass issues with SET. Over decades of using both pp and SET I've found bass performance to be highly variable. I've probably had more issues with overly resonant, one note bass with pp vs set. What I've discovered over the long term is speaker... |
