Classical Music for Aficionados Thanks for the recommendations. Sitting here checking them out while listening to the wonderful Danil Trifonov and the Etudes d'Execution Transcendante. Splendid pianism. | |
Is there a Solid State amp that can satisfy a SET guy? Accuphase A-30 or A-65.Or you could try looking at the top of Sugden's line. | |
***All-in-one integrated***$5000.00-$7500.00***Class A/B only***Stellar Headphone*** How about Sim Moon audio. More refined than Bryston. | |
4 or 8 ohm connection for a 6 ohm speaker? It makes sense to try the lower tap first, but there definitely have been cases of particular combinations of amp and speaker where the tap a little over the nominal impedance sounds better. Of course, if you ever look at some measurements, nomin... | |
Should people with no turntable or reel to reel be considered audiophiles? Yes, but only if they have an 8-track instead. | |
Classical Music for Aficionados denizens of this thread:I'm feeling like another version of Beethoven 3. I saw there was a recording by Barbirolli that looked rather tempting; anything else you would recommend? | |

Speakers that are a great value! All speaker manufacturers always post totally accurate measurements of their speakers that have been previously vetted thoroughly by two independent outside agencies. | |
Help with Hum issues. Interconnects from CD-player/DAC/phono amp, whatever the source is. Leave the interconnects as they normally are at the source end, but change over L to R and R to L at the preamp end. Audition. Has the hum changed sides or not?If not, continue... | |
old high end preamps.. There are Cary's and Cary's. Especially pre- and post-Denis Had, but even within the post- era. Hey, even if you were manufacturing lemons, occasionally you'd make an orange. | |
Measuring line noise and power conditioners With that Trifield you can also detect ghosts.In their YouTube demo videos, I'm not sure what meter Isotek uses, it might be the one from Alpha labs or similar. Search: noise sniffer. | |
Question for amp experts Not for the same price (price of amp included in speakers vs. separate amp). Amp designers have to envisage a wide range of loads, though not everything from very high to very low sensitivity. Amp inside speaker--the designer knows exactly what ... |
