| Tubes? Transistors? Which are better? Sedon: The concert hall is part of the total live music system. Each hall is distinctive and as an indispensible part of any given particular concert experience is "accurate". That's not to say that the same hall would be considered good. Some are... | |
| Tubes? Transistors? Which are better? Khrys: You obviously are concerned above how your system sounds. You obviously have some sort of personal standard which drives or has driven you to discriminate in your selection of equipment. Ostensibly you have invested a fair amount of coinage... | |
| Tubes? Transistors? Which are better? Khrys: Since you didn't write the above, I didn't write this. The issue of truth and accuracy in audio reproduction is the raison d'etre for this industry. For many of us, the ideal is to faithfully (high fidelity) replicate the aural experience o... | |
| 1 million dollar speaker made by Kharma Sedond, You may have something there. Do you think my old Toyota might actually be a $100,000.00 car done for only 10 grand? There's one thing I am certain of though. My wife and daughter are priceless. | |
| Tubes? Transistors? Which are better? Tubegroover, You're correct. You're both right. De gustibus non est disputandum. I have found the truth. It's in the concert hall. | |
| 1 million dollar speaker made by Kharma Well Grow-up....why not a 10 million dollar speaker? It may be magnificient. But I would have a difficult time accepting that a reasonably brilliant design team couldn't do it for a lot less...even if it were "only" 1 million. It's simply that a m... | |
| Tubes? Transistors? Which are better? Tubes are like a car I once owned. Before Ford involvement, Jaguar ownership was very much a love/hate relationship. Transistors are like a car I now own. The performance of my 13 year old Porsche is exciting in a different way. But it is very muc... | |
| 1 million dollar speaker made by Kharma Let,s see. A million dollars. You could surely rent the services of a major orchestra at least once a month for a year (that is, if you could convince the resident maestro to work free). If you prefer a smaller scale, a major chamber ensemble (str... | |
| DQ-10, QUAD, Sound Lab, WAMM,Sequerra NF Reylon's response reminds me of the fellow who was asked which car he would rather have..a Ford or a Plymouth? His answer. An Oldsmobile. Seriously though, it would be a rare audio bird that could answer your question with any basis in experience. | |
| B&O, overpriced artistic piece of audio? Trelja, We're all getting old. | |
| Why lots of B&W Nautilus for sale used? To add to Elizabeth's comments; traditionally, audio sales folk can purchase equipment at 50% of retail and may sell it a year later...usually at a profit. So within a few well-planned years, high-end audio can be free. And Robba; you're being awf... | |
| Why lots of B&W Nautilus for sale used? This is interesting in that it perfectly exemplifies why no-one should take subjective appraisals very seriously (except their own). I have to say that I've heard equally committed endorsements for MANY different brands (usually carried by them) f... | |
| B&O, overpriced artistic piece of audio? Your expressed concern has been a prevaling attitude within the "audiophile" community for many years. And as with many opinions these days, the occasional B&O fan can provoke heated exchanges amongst those who disagree. I agree with those who... | |
| Audio & the Emperor’s new clothes. Words that ring true! Words that perhaps can only come from one who has acquired much seasoning. I can say this because I, many years ago, evolved my approach to things "audio" in a similar way. Bear in mind that "audiophile" can, quite correctly,... | |
| b&k or Bryston or McCormack? They're all good or better than good amps. The Bryston has the advantage of state of the art design coupled with a 20 year warranty. McCormick also has a fine reputation. However, you mentioned the importance of cost. So, B&K should not be rej... |
