| Classical Music for Aficionados I was just sampling a few youtube videos of Yuja Wang. She undoubtedly has bionically fast fingers and hands, but I wasn't sensing much artistry. What are your impressions? | |
| DENAFRIPS DAC ---- Owner Impressions, Feedback, General Discussion, Questions and more.... There are very few DACs warmer/softer/whatever you want to call it than the Border Patrol. So when you bring in another brand, it just depends on how far you want to go in the other direction. | |
| Harbeth 30.1, 30.2, XD I've heard the Spendor Classic 100. For me, it was streets better than the D7 that I also heard that same afternoon. It was just pipped by the 40.2.Vu of Deja Vu (Wash DC) says the earlier incarnations of the '100 were better. | |
| Tube vs. Solid State Amplifiers @earlflynn Look at the M40.1's impedance.https://www.stereophile.com/content/harbeth-m401-loudspeaker-measurements It may be specc'd at 86dB, but the impedance averaged over the whole frequency range is actually well over 8 ohms. | |
| WHAT IS THE MOST TOUCHY SONG THAT YOU HAVE EVER HEARD? Perry Como, Catch a Falling Star. | |
| Help selecting a power cord. Take a serious look at the Puritan power conditioners, 136 and 156. Less expensive than the big boys and actually more effective. If I had to apportion money, I'd put it there before trying power cords. BTW, the Puritan PCs are also very good a... | |
| Voyager GaN Amp ... anyone have one? The text on the Underwood site just got changed from shipping by end of May to shipping by end of June. | |
| How much reality do you really need? Epistemology 101: the coffee table may be a figment of my imagination, or it may be a bunch of subatomic particles or even electromagnetic waves, but it sure hurts when I knock my shin against it. | |
| Mat for Rega P10 https://recordclean.com.au/spec-ap-ud1-analog-disc-sheet-platter-mat.html Problem solved, | |
| How much reality do you really need? @mijostyn Your post presupposes that reality exists autonomously, independent of everyone's apprehension of it. I'll leave that one to @hilde45 to resolve.But in the case of recorded music, we're talking about three discrete realities: the music... | |
| XLR (Balanced) interconnect cable question I'm surprised that Audio Envy didn't make your shortlist. It often comes up in the "value" category. | |
| Harbeth 30.1, 30.2, XD The Graham LS5/5 is a fascinating speaker.https://www.grahamaudio.co.uk/products/ls55/ @redwoodaudio You are the first person I've encountered to have heard them and actually own them!In the impossibility of me auditioning them, I ended up with H... | |
| Raven Blackhawk LE... am I going to be disappointed? I always thought efficiency and sensitivity were different. And they are!http://www.sengpielaudio.com/calculator-efficiency.htm | |
| Harbeth 30.1, 30.2, XD In minor increments Harbeth has been inching its way towards a more "modern" sound, though it's still far from aluminum enclosures and beryllium tweeters. If you favor warm, stick with the ones you've got. | |
| How much reality do you really need? I have one requirement: If it’s on the recording, I want to hear it. Without exaggeration or distortion. Simple. If a recording needs a playback system in order for you to hear it, and every system is different, how do you *really* ever known what... |
