| Ref-75-SE delivered ... Think of digital silence in an analogous sense as a blackout, absence of light or any indication that it exists, like you were born totally blind like walking into a room at night without any windows. Natural silence would be as Wolf says hearing ... | |
| Ref-75-SE delivered ... Excellent synopsis of your new amplifier Oregonpapa. FWIW I knew exactly what you meant when you compared digital quiet with naturally quiet. Look forward to reading your your further impressions as the amp breaks in. | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... I'm very happy for you Rebbi that you have finally resolved the problem. We are ALL still on pins and needles, hoping that the amp will work with the Decapos but the fact that you did everything on your part correctly must give you some relief and... | |
| Is your tube amp really a tube amp? I would venture a DHT SET, probably the simplest tube circuit, would qualify in most cases as a true tube amp using your criteria. The fact that SS devices may be used in a given circuit doesn't necessarily mean that that it is in the signal path.... | |
| Describe ube sound vs solid state "I must say my sound surpasses any live event I have been to"I would only ask this, do you mean the emotional involvement is better through your system than at a live performance or that your system just sounds better to your ears? I mean really, ... | |
| Diana Krall, Wallflower Bombaywalla, to help you a bit with Oregonpapa's above excellent point I'll give you some "real" lounge music for comparason. I bought a CD of this guy based on a recommendation on this site and paid 30.00 for the privilege. Well recorded is it's ... | |
| Diana Krall, Wallflower Anyone who "hates" Bill Evans is just hopeless! | |
| Vandersteen 5a Carbons I've heard the Summits, very nice but to be honest I've never listened to a ML speaker that I would choose over a Vandersteen with proper amplification and source, in other words, all thing being equally ideal. Haven't heard the Vandy line lately ... | |
| Quicksilver V4 amps with KT150 The system consisted of Aesthetix Romulus CD front end, Quicksilver full function pre, Gershman Grande Avande Garde speakers and Omega Micro cabling throughout. | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... "Here's what I find remarkable about this situation. A decfective(below specified power rating) amp driving 86-87 db speakers sounding better than the former higher powered amplifier with the same speaker. When this amplifier is fixed, look out!"C... | |
| Quicksilver V4 amps with KT150 Jb, please keep us updated if you go with the KT150s. I would be most interested in hearing your impressions. | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? I hear you Schubert. What agon must realize is that cyber attacks are a real and present danger to our credit card security and they aren't immune although not a likely target but again, who knows? I have made it a point going forward that I am NO... | |
| Quicksilver V4 amps with KT150 I recently heard the latest V4s with Kt150 tubes in an unfamiliar system set-up by a local dealer and it was just amazing to everyone present. I think that is a first for our audio group.:) While I've always admired Quicksilver and felt they were ... | |
| Best Speakers For Electronica Music That was my point Czarivey, but it shouldn't be the case. Good speakers, well designed should and DO play all kinds of music if you search them out. The idea that one should have to purchase a particular speaker for a specific genre of music is lu... | |
| Best Speakers For Electronica Music "The idea that a speaker is particularly good for a certain genre is one of the biggest myths in the world of loudspeakers."I'm glad THIS was finally noted, I've held this belief for a while. Really, why should a speaker/system "specialize" in a p... |
