| A true believer Agaffer, it seems to me going reading through the thread that it morphed into a simple observation by you in your opening into yet another thread about cables and their value vs price. I tend to agree in general with this theory. On the other hand... | |
| A true believer "Cables are just like religion. Everyone believes they have the right one."I believe this is a naive statement Elizabeth. I personally don't believe in the "right" anything but to the person that is willing to lay down the green. There are always ... | |
| A true believer "Back in the olden days when I was in college, 901s were coveted by lots of people. I envied my friends that could afford them...."Me too! | |
| Why do intelligent people deny audio differences? My question to you Larry is How do you two get along otherwise?:) There appears to be something deeper going on than your question. If this isn't the case the only other answer, as it is to most non-audiophiles is, "it really isn't that important ... | |
| What is Musicality? I haven't been to the Vanguard but do have both vinyl and cd of Waltz for Debby and most of Evan's recordings for that matter. I can CERTAINLY hear that low ceiling, very typical of a lot of jazz venues I've been to, one place quite close to us in... | |
| What is Musicality? Charles1dad I like the part "If the equipment adds "musicality" to the signal, that is a distortion."This equates to the "better than real" comments that is occasionally mentioned, kind of like a drug but one thing for sure, over time it becomes i... | |
| Once again...looking for a "tube like" SS preamp I hear you Orpheus but I want to be sure I'm getting what I'm paying for. You can easily purchase tubes that sound great but may not measure up, its happened to me numerous times over the years unless you purchase from trusted dealers. Even one "r... | |
| Why Not More Conversation about VAC? On the discussion concerning tube rolling, not necessarily in any of the VAC products as it seems Kevin is very thoughtful in voicing his products and if I'm not mistaken he used to provide quality tubes for sale, not sure if this is still true or... | |
| Does long hair destroy the soundstage? "The truth is most women have better hearing than men. They just have more important things to do with their time"Yeah right, like fuss with their hair. | |
| Once again...looking for a "tube like" SS preamp Oh ah, nevermind newbie!:)and Orpheus, have you checked out your tubes lately? You might be missing something that you don't even realize. With all that tube gear, if you don't have one, invest a couple hundred in a tester. No I haven't had any pr... | |
| Once again...looking for a "tube like" SS preamp "The last time I counted, there were "eleventy eleven dozen" SS pre's that sounded "tubelike". Are there any SS pre's left that sound SS. The logic of buying a SS pre that sounds "tubelike" eludes me. I'm sure there are many who can enlighten me i... | |
| Tenor 75 Wi OTL One point about the Trancendent that does bear consideration is that it is a quite inexpensive for its performance. I am not sure what the current pricing is but you DO get a lot for your money. In retrospect, it is unfair comparing a higher price... | |
| Tenor 75 Wi OTL Clio09 I don't mean to rain on the parade concerning Trancendent amps, I owned the T-8 prior to the Berning, great amp btw, but to paraphrase Senator Lloyd Benson to Dan Quale during their debate for VP in '88, "Mr. Trancendent you're no Mr. Tenor... | |
| Once again...looking for a "tube like" SS preamp Good luck Lp newbie, I've never heard any ss pre that can do what you are looking for. You will get everything top to bottom so far as clarity and dynamics but you will never find the characteristics that tubes get and ss doesn't, presence and ton... |
