| What improvements did you hear in going from entry level to high end Audio? Allow me to overstate my case. Entry level uses cheap parts with lots of magnetically sensitive materials in the electrical signal pathways (pathways of any nature) Good gear, high end gear, uses non magnetic parts and components, and any plating ... | |
| Is preamp's headphone output as good as "true" output? Make a digital copy from each output. As in: preamp output, tape or line output, and headphone output. In an ideal home stereo listening post (in chair listening to stereo), each will sound different. In each piece of gear, the results, or sound q... | |
| manufacturer and dealer rating but why male models.... I wrote a really big involved response earlier- that was way over the top and went galloping off in all directions, but..I deleted it. we seek the simplicity of knowing ’facts’ in the world of unknowns, but it is the facts ... | |
| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? So......music has built in condoms. I guess. But Rap doesn’t -- as it’s not music? Is that why audiophiles grimace if they have to listen to Rap? | |
| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? @dave_b:"wire really is wire!"There is only one thing out there that is an actual counterpoint to wire. The only thing that really shows you for the first time, what wire sounds like. As... a fundamental difference, that this ’other’ possesses... ... | |
| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? nonoiseHow long can this go on?>>>A helluva lot longer hopefully. How Long? | |
| manufacturer and dealer rating Yes, but why male models? The animal in us seeks simplification: Is there a lion in the tall grass? Inquiring minds want to know.... The very slipperiness of life's changing and shifting aspects, is what keeps us alive and growing. | |
| My music sounds brighter The room is 50% of the equation in and of sound - in what you hear and interpret. | |
| I bought a Marantz at Goodwill and now I have a few questions The power amplifier alone in an 18U is a great piece. Wire it up as a stereo power amplifier, if you can. IIRC, the power amp has a pair of 56,000uf 71V caps, and using that and the massive transformer, for just ’stereo’ is, well, overkill. Tons o... | |
| The floor between and behind the speakers is too often neglected Double stack of tube traps in the front corners, One third placement of 4 foot tall half rounds on the front wall, Maybe some 1/4 round tube traps along the floor front wall junction. And again with the full rounds or half rounds on the side walls... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? What’s on my turntable tonight? A bit of cartridge rocket surgery. A Shure 70B cart where the conical stylus as been removed and is now a beryllium cantilevered- square shank- nude mounted- line contact stylus. It’s a pretty decent...synergistic, ... | |
| Looking For 90% of the performane of the super expensive cables for much less money Those last few percentage points are everything, it’s the whole enchilada. It’s open ended to some degree, an 'impossible to reach' perfection... so each person has to decide themselves where and how, exactly... to try and bite down on infinity... | |
| Speakers can be big AND easy to drive No chart, but a range. 3-4.5 ohms across the chart, apparently. https://www.stereo.net.au/forums/topic/123400-the-duntech-speaker-thread/ However, that does not mean much, in and of itself... | |
| Looking For 90% of the performane of the super expensive cables for much less money anyway, back to the op’s original question. 90% of the quality for much less money. That’s a given, an easy one. It’s due to the point that 95-97% (I mean, pick a percentage, it’s not like there’s some known quantity and standard, here) of what a ... | |
| Doug Schroeder Method, Double ic Conventional aspects also play in, if you calculate it out, the core waveguide material vs surrounding field space is not a linear equation ---as one adds conductors. WRT to how the physics of complex electrical function deals with it, that is.Sad... |
