| Tubes getting hard to come by? @petg60 I agree that nos tubes have unique qualities that can't be replicated, that's why I mentioned innovation. And I do in fact observe in reviews, have heard and purchased contemporary tubes that match or exceed some nos. Some of the nos tubes... | |
| The past meets the future Yes, there continues to be innovation in vinyl, but not to the same extent and speed of digital. Vinyl has some real physical limitations, both in recording and playback arenas, digital much less. What does this mean for future? I can only say... | |
| I don't want to beat a dead horse but I'm bugged. @atmasphere If you read that post again, that was not a posit, rather a question? I can't make that posit without having heard the components I speak of. You posit they'll all sound the same, apparently, you trust the measurements over human sen... | |
| I don't want to beat a dead horse but I'm bugged. I do understand that a set of components, each with preferred set of measurements in allignment to accuracy would result in a whole that deviates less from this objective than those that deviate/color the whole. Following this, the system conformi... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC For extremely efficient speakers and SS, First Watt would be my first choice. Many choices of color, trusted designer, minimal circuitry, which is important for super efficient speakers, higher power ss has far too much wasted excess for these spe... | |
| Tubes getting hard to come by? With NOS, this is simply law of supply and demand. There is a finite supply and continuing depletion of that finite supply over time. There will come a day when NOS will cease to exist, I can't predict the day. I assume the larger stashes from cl... | |
| I don't want to beat a dead horse but I'm bugged. Well, deludedaudiophiles stated the divide quite clearly and repeatedly, the measurement crowd doesn't believe we can trust in our individual sensory perceptions to make best decisions. Ok, certainly our sensory perceptions can fool us, but do... | |
| I don't want to beat a dead horse but I'm bugged. @atmasphere When I'm speaking of accuracy and it's association with color, I'm thinking about two components that measure exactly the same in every measurement undertaken. Now lets say those measurements are such that one was deemed to be an accur... | |
| Why Does My Current Music Sound So Much Better than It Did in the 80’s? I have a pretty good stash of 80's and 90's vinyl and previously owned many cd's from same era. While much of the vinyl is pretty bad, overly compressed and electronic haze, the cd's are absolutely atrocious, have all the vinyl liabilities, then a... | |
| I don't want to beat a dead horse but I'm bugged. And so we have a post in regard to the truth of colored recordings, no doubt this true. So let's say we have a recording to the sterile side of spectrum, played back on cooler sounding system would maintain it's position on spectrum. The same rec... | |
| I don't want to beat a dead horse but I'm bugged. I always hear this color issue from the measurement objectivists, they use the term accuracy as if it has no color. What proof do they have that accuracy has no color? Yes, measurements have correlations to qualities of sound reproduction, but our... | |
| can Line Magnetic 210ia work in US? That Line Magnetic marketed to China domestic market, they run 50hz, we run 60hz. Also, even if you run on 240v, 20v over voltage, I wouldn't do it. This idea has been brought up before on AG. On top of voltage/hz issue there is warranty and serv... | |
| I don't want to beat a dead horse but I'm bugged. And so, I'm told to rely on measurements, both my SET amps total failures based on high even order distortion. And then we have my SMSL amp I use for burn in purposes. I have no doubt the SMSL measures better than both SET amps, so is the vastly i... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @car123 Looking forward to your impressions. I used the Cardas usb for some time, my present AQ Diamond bettered it by large margin. I've also tried various cat config generics,various AQ, Supra, Wireworld Platinum. USB cables make a difference. ... | |
| The past meets the future I really enjoy both mediums, the problem with that is expenditure goes up in great measure, I don't doubt a commensurate amount to equalize sound quality. Unlike Ghdprentice, my analog has a way to go to catch up to digital. Greatest liability... |
