Amplification question - PrimaLuna Tubes vs. McIntosh Solid State
One thing I noticed is there is a big difference in sound when talking about Mcintosh amps.  Their solid state amps sound much different from the tubes amps.  when I took the MC402 for a weekend and then the MC 275 there was no competition. The MC... 
Rega RP8 and alternatives in $3000-4000 range
I disagree that the Prime or Classic is better than the RP8.  Actually i would say the rp8 is the better of the 2.  VPI tables do sound nice as I have one but they need to improve their arms.  They need a better antiskate system.  If they had the ...

What direction is VPI headed?
One thing I will say is VPI does have fantastic customer service.  They bent over backwards to address my issues more so than any other manufacturer I have dealt with.  Wish they would keep the Aries as I think it is the best table I have heard fr... 
What exactly is colored sound?
I am still trying to figure out exactly what coloration means.  I guess that the only thing I could think of is that I want a trombone to sound like a trombone, a piano to sound like a piano and so on.  I cannot say I have heard systems that a tro... 
What exactly is colored sound?
If you actually had a copy of an original master tape, for example, and you played it on two different systems, lets say they are extreme high end, I bet that master tape would sound different on each to some degree even if you used the same reel ... 
currently own a vpi scout, looking to upgrade
well, its been close to 4 years and I still have the humble scout.  I will say that I believe it is one of the best values in audio out there.  Listened to many tables and my final thoughts are if I am going to upgrade and have it make a measurabl...

Steve Guttenberg: I am an Audiophile | StereophileOn youtube, Steve talks about how only 1% of music recorded actually sounds like the real thing.  Everything is processed, colored so to speak. 
What exactly is colored sound?
Lets take a wedding band for example.  In one hall the same band will sound different from another.  Same musicians, the same instruments.. maybe they would sound worse in say a cinderblock walled firehall than say a drywalled hotel hall.  These a...
