| A new horn is brewing in the cauldron? https://youtu.be/fXKBu5KbkmM | |
| What speaker has the best tweeter? I also favor the ESS AMT, but have made substantial modifications to mine to get them where I like them and to maximize their detail, soundstage, and imaging. | |
| How do you A/B amps in your system? Some tube amps will require "an extra layer of protection" in that the milliseconds that the relay is open during switching can do damage to them. Not shown in my schematic, but added later, each speaker INPUT also has a switch that inserts a ... | |
| How do you A/B amps in your system? I developed a universal switcher that lets me compare any two pieces of equipment or 4 pair of speakers with adjustable volume matching. I also made an A/B/X, again, with level matching, but it is primarily for speakers. Both have wireless remote ... | |
| The $27,900 disappointment? Wilson Audio Watt Puppy 8 issues. The problem as I see it is that you can’t really compare the changes he makes because you can’t A/B them in real time with the before version. And, anyone who spends a bunch of $$$ for a modification will have a bias toward it just because they d... | |
| NEW Tekton Design Speakers - The Bonnevilles @yoder You like drums, dynamics, a live visceral sound, and solid wood cabinets...? Just go back 45-50 years. https://youtu.be/iGa9259pz-I | |
| WHY DO SOME AUDIOPHILES TRY TO TELL OTHERS WHAT THEY CAN OR CAN’T HEAR IN A SYSTEM? So if someone tells you that they can hear (not feel) an 8 Hz or 28kHz sine wave, that doesn’t give you pause? What if tracks are accompanied by satanic rites heard only by them? Some things are beyond recognized audibility and it is a fool’s er... | |
| Trends in value of vintage / used audio equipment? I often think about selling this system, but would never ship it. It just doesn’t get used. The three amps were just gone through by an original Marantz Service Center Owner/Repair person. If someone were in the Orange County/Los Angeles area, thi... | |
| What actually determines volume power? Is it watts? Just as a matter of curiosity..., My Yamaha RX-Z9’s menu allows each input a separate, "trim" volume control so that you can match the apparent volumes from the different sources without resorting to the primary volume knob each time you change t... | |
| ACTUAL MUSICAL SOUND VS. MEASUREMENTS And if you could reasonably measure such a thing, how do you determine what is better? It's not like S/N ratio where you shoot for a lower number. | |
| ACTUAL MUSICAL SOUND VS. MEASUREMENTS I care, and I’m betting a whole lot of other people do too! And don't think that any company that could show that theirs excels above more expensive others wouldn't do it just for bragging rights. Stereophile Magazine reviewers continually talk ... | |
| ACTUAL MUSICAL SOUND VS. MEASUREMENTS @mikhailark I’m not taking about a sound field distribution across a room, which I would call "soundstage," but more the ability to "precisely locate" specific instruments in a 3-dimensional space, which I would call "imaging." If this can in f... | |
| ACTUAL MUSICAL SOUND VS. MEASUREMENTS ...If you know what to measure and have the means to measure it. How does one measure imaging? | |
| The $27,900 disappointment? Wilson Audio Watt Puppy 8 issues. I don’t think he know what he’s talking about. The cabinets are no longer made of Corian though that’s what he said. He make a huge deal about the tweeter and midrange sharing a common cable out of the crossover so that the tweeter has to go thr... | |
| Trends in value of vintage / used audio equipment? Mac is now owned by Bose. Will it affect value knowing the Bose stigma? |
