| Silky and soft highs: product of coloration? I'm not impressed with most violin recordings...to far away sounding, or...to strident, in mass. I do have some good solo violin recordings.I'll guess, that it must be very hard to capture that instrument correctly on a recording.Silky is fine, wh... | |
| Silky and soft highs: product of coloration? Chris said: "they have never heard how world's best power amplifiers sound! 90% of the amplifiers sound the same, that's why it will never become obvious with 90% of all audiophiles that the power amplifier is in fact a major determinant for the f... | |
| Silky and soft highs: product of coloration? ChrisMaybe in his system. But after 35 years....my ears tell "me" different. The hobby is pretty much all opinions anyway Chris, so I won't put up to much of an argument, in favor of mine.At least we agree on the violin recording (-:Dave | |
| Silky and soft highs: product of coloration? To be honest, I think the amplifier is the least important component in the chain. If I had to cut costs somewhere...thats where it would be.BTW, I have that recording, and agree...a very well recorded violin.Dave | |
| Magnepan 1.6 fronts-what non-maggies center/sur The original Linaeum speakers, or....Aurasound linaeum speakers work fairly well. Radio shack, also had some models which used the Linaeum drivers...I have no experience with these though? (under $100)Hard to find, but Apogee speakers, had a few h... | |
| Tubes and light weight bass You bought the wrong tube amps, if good bass reproduction was a goal. Get something with some bigger transformers...a KT-88 based design.Or, if your in love with your amps...try subwoofers.Dave | |
| Most "Realistic/Accurate" Sounding Speakers I have a friend who plays drums...they "are not" an instrument that you would want to hear at full dynamic range (not for very long anyway)....in an typical audiophile listening room.He has a very nice drum set, and I love to hear him play them...... | |
| Has anyone tried EAT Audio tubes? No, but I did see a guy eat a glass, at a local bar a few years ago....I bet he could do it.:-)Dave | |
| Most "Realistic/Accurate" Sounding Speakers How about these fine speakers,http://cls.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?spkrplan&1210642341Note: I don't know the sellerDave | |
| FAL speakers and drivers I know "Bent Audio" owner John Chapman is big on them...looks like he even sells them now? He has a forum at the Audiocircle, maybe you should post at that forum?http://www.bentaudio.com/index2.htmlGood luck,Dave | |
| Is there a very nice SS amp around 1K? ATI was formed by Morris Kessler, he owned SAE way back when. ATI also builds amps for other companies...Adcom, Outlaw Audio...and a few others.Dave | |
| Ripping CD Question Copy the songs to a folder (s) on your hard drive. I just use a desktop folder(s)for this. I delete the contents when I'm done.Remove anything you don't want (or, keep it all, and then only load the songs you want from the folder (s), into the bur... | |
| Stereophile Class A and Frequency Response EldartfordYa, I used to read "Audio". I remember when they reviewed the old Snell Type A's...My speaker lust of that time.I liked Stereophile a lot back then too, it was a smaller size (6"x 10", maybe smaller?)...easy to hold.Dave | |
| tube amps sounding like solid state and vv I think it's a mis-conception, brought on by the fact that many of todays tube amps have extended freq response....unlike those built in times past.The same with solid state. This design, for the most part, has advanced past the grainy midrange, a... | |
