| Best interconnects & speaker cable? I don't get it I suppose I didn't make myself clear enough Jmcgrogan. I didn't say the cables I am currently using are not themselves tone controls, after all every audio component in some matter offers degrees of digression from the recording and the event itse... | |
| Best interconnects & speaker cable? I don't get it Very reasonable observations here. Concerning cables, I just don't obsess over them after going through the "process" years back when I was looking for something that "worked" in my set-up. I settled for some quite expensive cabling that provided ... | |
| Why not horns? "Julian Hirsch, Leonard Feldman, Rok2id :), Pete Azcel and about 99.99999999999% of all HUMANITY, both past and present, KNOW, that all amps sound the same. Meaning, if they are well made and engineered correctly, they have no 'sound'."Hey Roks, n... | |
| Why not horns? Thank YOU Al for your informative and interesting contributions to this forum. | |
| Why not horns? Interesting read this thread, particularly the last part concerning reviewers and their motivations. While Harry Pearson may have been a guiding beacon to many readers of TAS he never was to me. More a pompous know it all although I occasionally w... | |
| Best Option In A CD/SACD Player Under $1,500.00 "I've read by owners or auditioners in various Audio forum threads seem less impressed by its cd playing ability than the reviewers do."Maybe some are less impressed Nightfall but at your budget, even used it might be quite difficult to find an al... | |
| Reference 3A line updated It would be interesting to hear the difference between the Mundorf and Cast cap. Would also be interested in hearing your impressions of silver wire. Keep us posted Irish65. On a further note I really don't note any sort of "shouting" effect with ... | |
| Reference 3A line updated Brownsfan all I can say is I would really love to hear your main system particularly with your musical taste. What a great reference to build a second system, very nice indeed! | |
| Reference 3A line updated Well maybe a bit warm but it wouldn't be an adjective I would use in my set-up. To me they are in the "Goldilocks" zone particularly with the Berning amp which seems to compliment them so well, an honest, dynamic, fast, wide bandwidth design that ... | |
| Reference 3A line updated Hi Guppy, are you considering replacing your TSM's? | |
| Reference 3A line updated Hi Drubin Well I would't say they are as smooth as some I've heard, particularly upper midrange and it is only noticable to me on SOME recordings. Say the ideal speaker, at least to me that would be smooth and most natural would be the Quad ESL. I... | |
| Reference 3A line updated Enjoy Brownsfan! They certainly have been a most enjoyable discovery to me. I am using them in my one and only system in a 18X20X10' room open to a 8X12X10' space. The real joy with these speakers Brownsfan is that they can be played at low volume... | |
| Why aren't new vacuum tubes as good as old ones? Thanks Wolf except MY experience has not been as good, at least the last two times out. I sure hope the third time is the charm. This time I purchased the one year warranty for an additional 20% of the tube price. The last two pair didn't last bey... | |
| Why aren't new vacuum tubes as good as old ones? Me too Atmasphere. While I find the sound of the newer tubes in some cases to EXCEED any of the NOS tubes I've tried they just don't hold up for whatever the reason(s). I would LOVE to purchase tubes that are made in the US and would hope they exc... | |
| Reference 3A line updated I purchased a pair of the latest back in August after a 3 week audition and have commented on other threads of my early impressions. Actually the finish is very neutral and doesn't bring attention to itself. What is more interesting is that there ... |
