| How do you judge your system's neutrality? "If a system is completely neutral it will sound exactly like the real event. I don't think this will ever happen."I disagree. A recording will only capture what the mics recorded, not necessarily the real event. It really depends on the hearing a... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Hi Smctiguel I too am looking at the Audio Mirror. What I find interesting is the fact that it uses the 6c33 tube, has some serious power and the reasonable price. Unfortunately I couldn't find any details or reviews beyond what is on their websit... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? "I truly regret selling my Golden Tube 300B."Funny you mention THAT amp Mikirob. After all the discussion on this thread I started looking around for a 300B DHT amp just to see how it might fare with the Decapos. There was a Golden tube 300b amp f... | |
| Audio Research VT100 MKll Stays on RlwainwrightHow many languages do you understand, speak or studied? Is this site about language and proper punctuation or audio? Cut the guy a break why don't you? What the hell have you contributed to the op's question? That goes for you two as w... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? As to which one to get without the opportunity to listen to any of them with the Decapos and your budget constraints, I would look at the ones with the heftiest transformers. As has been pointed out, one of the biggest factor in SET designs, what ... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Keep us posted on your new amp Rebbi, I'd be most interested in your impressions with the Decapos. | |
| Most enduring audio purchase My Berning zh270, it sounds better than ever which is to say that as I have refined and fine tuned over the years it continues to be the strongest component I have and without any question the best purchase I've made in audio. Kudos to David Berni... | |
| Tube preamp vs Tube cd player I agree with zd's points as well. Design and implementation is the most important criteria not tubes vs ss. Poor design is poor design period. FYI, my personal choice is tube CD, tube pre-amp and tube amplifier, choice 3 like John. Not all tube am... | |
| Best Sounding Musicians My very favorite "best sounding musician" is Louis Armstrong. The first musician I can recall that made me feel that he was singing through his instrument. | |
| Quality issues with Tekton speakers.... B_limo Are you saying you owned 6 pair of Paradigm speakers in the past 3 years that had the problems you note? If so did you like them alot or expected a different outcome the 3rd-6th time? Just curious why you would put yourself through such an ... | |
| My wife passed yesterday It is that rare individual that we ideally find as our life mate. You were blessed to have found yours to share the past 20 years with. Yes, she will be missed but as time passes may you reach the place that her memory makes you smile, rejoice and... | |
| Quality issues with Tekton speakers.... Chrshanl37 It sounds like you have arrived at perfection running your business. It's hard for me to believe that you don't periodically have to comp a customer regarding some issue that is if you still have humans preparing, cooking, taking orders... | |
| Quality issues with Tekton speakers.... I agree Mapman. I found the OP's original post lacking in sufficient detail to draw any conclusions. QC is very important to a manufacturer, particularly when factoring in return costs for faulty items, advertising hype aside. The most important m... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Indeed they are high value amplifiers Charles. Unfortunately they are a bit too large and heavy and I would be inclined more towards mono blocks of more managable size if I were to consider an SET. I have an audio buddy with a Mastersound integrat... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Charles the gentleman owns Coincident speakers, I'm not sure which model but that might help put things in perspective. Of course this is second hand hearsay testimony but I would add from a very reliable and trustworthy source. |
