| MHDT Havana and Eastern Electric Minimax Mapman you make a point that I would like to expand on concerning large scale works and the Havana. When I reference small scale I am referring to small scale acoustic music. The Havana which apparently got its name from the love that the designer... | |
| MHDT Havana and Eastern Electric Minimax Hawk28 I own the Havana and have owned the EE Minimax Plus. I would agree that the EE is more neutral a bit more detailed and has a very nice top end. Unfortunately it didn't meld with my system and over extended listening sessions it came across ... | |
| Another audio dealer closes his shop "I think more folks would get into the hobby were it marketed better.My two cents."I agree Ray. I consider myself an example of someone who was always interested in music but was totally unaware of anything but mainstream audio with the exception ... | |
| That Audiophile Thing Ditto to what 2chnlben says. With what I know I have a very clear picture of what I'd do with my mind's eye reference on what my goals are. This isn't to say I'm not satisfied with what I have, I am and it has evolved but I know what is missing an... | |
| Danny Boy - Recommendations For a sweet melancoly Irish rendition of this song I agree with Marty, the Great Irish Tenor John McCormack is a good one. I am not sure if he ever recorded "Danny Boy" but I have a later recording of "Oh Mary Dear"/Londonderry Air recorded in 193... | |
| Which songs or musical standards have haunted you? A few Haunted melodies that come to mindTheme from Swan Lake - TchaikovskyDance Macabre - Saen SaintsNight on Bald Mountain - MusskorskyMemorable, some haunting, standard Pop melodies most have been recorded countless times by different artists of... | |
| $$$ vs music enjoyment Mrmb, indeed an excellent post and thank you for sharing your personal experience. Also to me the major reason I enjoy attending audio meetings is hearing new music and the commaraderie of sharing musical and life experiences with fellow audiophil... | |
| How Long Ago Since You Cried Listening To Music? I can honestly say I can never recall listening to a stereo system and openly bawling so I feel quite relieved that my testosterone level is where it should be but then again I have shed a tear or two listening to live performances, two I can thin... | |
| Merlin VSM-M and Bass "Maybe there is a relation between Bam and bass hump"Pojuojuo, it is interesting that you hear a mid-bass hump or boost, must be a room node as Bobby notes. I have never had a mid-bass issue with the VSM-M which I have used for 12 years now, but i... | |
| Who makes the highest quality tube amps? In addition to some of the above mentioned, David Berning's designs since 1974, have a legendary status for both reliability and technical design and would have to be in the discussion. Example, I have owned the zh270 for 11 years and the outputs ... | |
| Somers Point NJ Thanks for the memories Shubertmaniac. Yes I remember those days, mostly through the late 60's if not the same places other than the Point Diner. My family spent a week in OC every year when I was a kid. Like Alpass my buddies and I spent time in ... | |
| Speakers or..... Agree with RW 100%, integrating the Maggies with the existing set-up plus placement issues would make that route a real challenge and could very well leave you wanting in the long run. I would as RW notes try to get the lastest 2Ce's in for a list... | |
| Magico V3 with tubed amplification, will it work ? Peterayer, 100% overated = hyperbole = meaningless = nothing constructive into the why "I don't like em." I will never get these type of mono phrase comments especially when directed at highly regarded products. A "why" or "what" reason or objecti... | |
| David Wilson must be a little annoyed... "Go listen to live musicians and use it as a template to recognize and appreciate natural sound. You`ll be happy and spend far less money." Charles1dadAmen I say to that again! | |
| tube dac To specifically answer your question, some tube DACs will have a more significant impact than others in my experience, they are not all the same. Using different tubes will further impact presentation. |
