| loudness wars: digital recording to improve? Remember, CD's have been exposed to error correction since it's inception. | |
| loudness wars: digital recording to improve? Mapman, you might want to reconsider your thoughts on what algorithms can and can't do, especially when given more brushes and more delicate brushes on a bigger canvas. Getting it right the first time is certainly preferable, but being able to off... | |
| Adcom GFA-565's or Eagle 400 mono blocks What speakers will they drive? | |
| What is “warmth” and how do you get it? If a space can't support or leaks the lower frequencies, and at the same time reverberates or enhances the higher frequencies, though not typically likely to happen, I would suspect the results would be "cool". | |
| What is “warmth” and how do you get it? "...While other hall effects might sound cool". Yes, but I would think that's more likely in small, highly reverberant halls, and not as likely to happen in typical concert venues. | |
| Tube preamp for Pass Labs amp Atmasphere, I know some pres have the the prerequisites, but it seems as though there are a lot more tube single ended pres with high output impedance's than ss ones. The Pass amps are particularly low input impedance, and the design seems to be p... | |
| Preamp suggestions for Thiel 3.6 & Bryston 4B-sst Timlub, is right on. Many Thiel owners like cj pres. One caveat; you'll lose the advantages of balanced inputs on your Bryston. | |
| Tube preamp for Pass Labs amp Audiofeil, I'll bow to your experience, but the Pass amps appear to be less than ideal candidates for many tube pres, when one considers the the low input impedance and the preference for balanced inputs. Both of which would seem to disqualify man... | |
| What is “warmth” and how do you get it? FWIW, I think that when we attend many concert halls, especially large ones with many patrons, we are often exposed to "warmth". The same instruments can sound quite different; without an audience, in different rooms or even in different seats. De... | |
| Amp for Thiel 3.7s Pass or Krell. Don't worry about overkill. | |
| Balanced or not for interconnect Other than the added expense, and all other things being equal, balanced is better. | |
| prob./ multi-room zone EQ? You might be able to use something like a Tact, and use the different settings for different rooms. Typical eq's don't work all that well for room tuning. If you go with a typical eq, you could make a chart or templates that fit over the sliders f... | |
| What is “warmth” and how do you get it? Well, the Audiogon site seems to be a bit fickle when it comes to hyperlinks. So here's the definition from J. Gordon Holt, the man who probably put this language in our lexicon:"warm The same as dark, but less tilted. A certain part of warmth is ... | |
| loudness wars: digital recording to improve? Both encouraging and sad. The good news; we get better sound. The bad news; software programmers have to add more technology into the process, because software programmers have better taste than way too many recording engineers, who should know be... | |
