| Neutral electronics are a farce... Geodffdude...I meant to say that the interconnects are shielded and the speaker wire I use is spiraled, but I shall now start worrying about large magnetic fields just to keep you happy. I'm a giver. My "dual mono" preamp has isolated transformer... | |
| Tube Integrated Amp - Help Please Is the Rogers under 4 grand? Rogers stuff looks like a 56 Buick...in a good way…and sounds great. | |
| Neutral electronics are a farce... I think the lesser of similarity among recordings would indicate neutrality as a more neutral system would function as a window into detail…and all recordings differ. | |
| Tube amp powered up? Tubes…utterly worth it. | |
| Neutral electronics are a farce... Most cables are designed to resist interference by being spiraled (many speaker cables, including the ones I use) or shielded…careful grounding, good wall plugs, transformer hum busting and better power supplies instead of wall warts, an effective... | |
| Neutral electronics are a farce... Auratones…man…and I think the only valid explanation of NS10s is everybody had them, but I have never been able to stand those damn things…they give me a headache. Note that mastering has a huge impact on the final sound…luckily…Bob Ludwig, et al…... | |
| Neutral electronics are a farce... I'm also a pro sound dude (recording, live sound mixer, musician, bon vivant, lazy older person trying not to seem creepy) and I agree that no gear is "neutral" really, but if you can cobble together a system that demonstrates the differences betw... | |
| Tube amp powered up? I've owned tube amps that were turned off and on thousands of times over decades with zero damage to anything. Jolida amps have a "soft start" feature that warms the tubes up before the amp goes to the "actually on" mode and that likely helps tub... | |
| Vandersteen 2CE sig II first run or current?.... By the way, my conversation with R Vandy is something I treasure as a fond and to me somewhat hilarious memory. Passion and enthusiasm about what you do is far cooler than otherwise, and that experience made me an even bigger fan…besides…he was 10... | |
| I have seen some Interesting comments about Mcintosh lately I wear watches when surfing so I know what time it is, and because I have piles of water resistant dive watches that need to have some fun. Hey, watches have feelings too. A note regarding the "church lady" consciousness that raises its thick humo... | |
| I have seen some Interesting comments about Mcintosh lately When was the last time you surfed? My dive watches really get slammed when I surf with them (I'm an old longboarder…3rd in my Senior Longboarder contest rating a few years ago)…orthogonal my ass, but mostly I use dive watches and chronographs to d... | |
| I have Noticed.. I am currently anti-Canadian since their mining operations are about to destroy the Alaskan salmon…I now consider Krall a New Yorker so she gets a pass. | |
| I have seen some Interesting comments about Mcintosh lately I collect watches, prefer mechanical ones, and have little interest in Rolex watches since they’re so damned expensive (last year nearly bought a Tudor Pelagos as I wanted a titanium watch…instead scored an older Oris Lume tt1 Titanium "new with t... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... This thread is actually more entertaining than I previously thought…ranging from near platitudinous mysticism, to squirm worthy oddly florid quasi-paternal statements of the obvious…I'm tellin' ya…this stuff should be mined for material supporting... | |
| How to add a Subwoofer to 2 channel stereo setup? One sub (the larger one) is placed behind the left main, and the other against a side wall only because I stick it in a window above it sometimes for outdoor deck enjoyment. Same signal to both (summing the signal, not stereo). When I was using th... |
