| Why SACD,DVD-A are already DEAD I still think analog is better than everything so far. I don't have a turntable setup, but I used to have a very good one and I hear the difference. I think SACD is next best. I have some CDs that I think sound quite good. However, I have a differ... | |
| Why SACD,DVD-A are already DEAD SACD will succeed because the companies that are producing the music want it to. The lesson has been learned by the music comapanies that if they don't copy protect their product, they can't stop "piracy". The new formats are copy protected, in th... | |
| Who R U? Very cool, Frogman! You really have some fantastic talent. I'll definitely pay attention when you give a listener's evaluation about a product. Your ears must be well tuned to what real music is like. Welcome. | |
| Amp shootout.....Tenor 75wi verses Berning ZH270 After checking the Kharma website, the Exquisite 1D has a 4ohm to 8ohm load, so the Normal Feedback setting on the Berning ZH270 was the correct setting for them. | |
| Amp shootout.....Tenor 75wi verses Berning ZH270 The feedback switch does more than just change the amount of feedback. It also changes the output impedance of the amplifier, which can have dramatic effect on the amp's ability to drive certain loads. In the Normal Feedback mode, it has 1.8ohms o... | |
| Amp shootout.....Tenor 75wi verses Berning ZH270 Very interesting thread.I agree with Kris about the NOS tubes, but if the Tenors were stock, then the Berning should be also.If the Tenors had tube upgrades, then the Berning was at a disadvantage with the stock Russian tubes. I know NOS tubes mad... | |
| Speaker wire guage/current draw ? According to the books I read, the depth of skin effect in copper is less that half a millimeter. That is about 20ga. Under 20ga. should make the entire wire run at the same speed with no skin effect. With a 3 meter run, I doubt you would burn the... | |
| Who R U? My name is Tom Lyons, I'm 46, single, and live in East Tennessee. I started in audio at about 12 with the usual junk and progressed from there. I've lived in NJ,MI,IL,DC,VA,FL,and TN. After high school I joined a privateer Lotus 23 racing team and... | |
| Which Stax headphones- best bang for the buck I had the Lambda/Class A amp combo and thought it was great. I also used the headphone amp as a preamp for my regular system since it was also designed for that purpose. I eventually got out of headphones because I preferred to feel the music thro... | |
| What are the best sounding classical CDs The Mercury Living Presence Label is back on CD. As many viny-philes know, the MLP recordings are some of the best ever made. Judicious care was taken in the recording process, including using a single pair of Neumann tube powered mikes(no multi-m... | |
| B&O Beomaster 8000 The 8000 is a pretty good receiver, but it is not going to give much of todays audiophile gear much competition. Even when the 8000 was new, it was just a higher end mid-fi. If you don't already have one, I don't think I would go trying to search ... | |
| Do "Tube Rings" really work? They work, but some people do not like the result. Some say it makes the music sound sterile and lifeless. Others are very happy with them. The only way to really know is to try some and see(hear). The Hal-O brand that is advertised here on the Au... | |
| What is your most anal audio habit? I do something to mess up my imaging, just so I can fix it again and say,"Ahhhhh!" | |
| What's wrong with my system? I read your last question on this topic and really have no ideas on what is wrong.I don't want you to think your being ignored, so all that I might recommend is to try to remove one of the sources at a time and see if the problem clears up. If it ... | |
| Determining Bad Tubes Joe, all tubes will do that when you tap on them. Don't do it anymore. It is not good for them. The sound you heard is microphonics and all tubes are subject to various levels of it. This generally is not heard when the source is muted, although i... |
