| Neutral electronics are a farce... I meant "Deadliest Catch." "Most dangerous catch" would more likely be about hard hit ground balls. | |
| Neutral electronics are a farce... The very cool Hedy Lamarr story needs a movie as it's simply one of the great opportunities for a biopic…an absolutely amazing woman. | |
| So how many people are using subwoofers My RELs only match in the sense that they are from the same manufacturing period, and since they're in different acoustic surroundings in my listening space it seems not to matter that they're designed differently ("Q" series front firing 10" 150... | |
| I have seen some Interesting comments about Mcintosh lately Having said all this, I do dig that damn McIntosh turntable that glows…more tables with thick acrylic platters should glow…love that sort of thing... | |
| Neutral electronics are a farce... Just a note about "things in the actual world," my stepson's Cambridge MA based company developed systems to pull conversations out of loud environments, and won an Emmy for it (it had been utilized in the "Most Dangerous Catch" series). Smart kid... | |
| Best KT88s (specifically for VAC Auricle Musiblocs) As I predicted, and I bet KT150s would be OK also, although maybe you shouldn't ask about those as they might say, "leave us alone dammnit." This data will be added to my extremely important and thorough scientific study of weak and silly transfor... | |
| Best KT88s (specifically for VAC Auricle Musiblocs) KT150s won't increase the power of your amp substantially unless it's designed for more power. My modest (I keep saying that to remind people how thrifty I am) 6550/KT88 specified Jolida 502p simply "sounds" better with 120s (which sounded splendi... | |
| Best KT88s (specifically for VAC Auricle Musiblocs) I suggest jumping over the 88s to KT120s or better yet KT150s. Based on the research done by the GTITCSS (Garcia Transformer Issues from Tube Change Scientific Study) this tube swap would be unlikely to kill your amp, but if it does please let me ... | |
| power amp recommendation Pass amps have blue meters on the front and sound real good. So maybe that's a "win win." Tubes are more fun though…but everyone knows that... | |
| Neutral electronics are a farce... I have a polarity switch on my DAC…it is generally (or always) ignored, and great sounding recordings are great sounding…period. I do bristle when gasbags tell me something sounds wrong when I think it sounds right, and there is nothing quite as p... | |
| Can you smell your speakers when youre rockin out? After many decades as a professional musician and more recent decades as a paid (overpaid usually) live sound mixer…plus decades as an audio geekster (man…I'm OLD), I've narrowed my speaker preferences down to these: The ones that sound great to m... | |
| Can you smell your speakers when youre rockin out? I think the air filters I put in the two AC/heating units in my house are fiberglass, fiberglass should never be ground up and snorted, and I've never encountered smelly speakers in over 50 years of speaker usage…I've never paid much attention to ... | |
| Is there advantage to balanced phono-preamp Plus, you can put your table 200 feet away from the preamp. | |
| Neutral electronics are a farce... The live reference conundrum remains interesting to me. Orchestral (not miked) music live as a reference should make you think about what an instrument does…a violin is omni directional but mostly up, and unless the violinist is chained to one spo... | |
| I have seen some Interesting comments about Mcintosh lately The "function worlds above other brands" is a silly statement, and patently untrue. Pateks and Rolexes are valuable (and relatively expensive) but not necessarily better at keeping time than many less precious mechanical watches, and McIntosh amps... |
