| How an audio rack can enhance your amp/pre "Star Sound’s adaptation is to transfer resonance at high-speed via conductive pathways away from the source of vibration keeping everything related to and the signal in constant motion." Hmmm…a line certainly worthy of any Faith Based Audio mytho... | |
| What's your "diminishing returns" preamp choice? I use an "old and no longer available" Kavent S-33 dual mono balanced preamp which is the same damn thing as a Vincent SA-91 (even says that on a circuit board) but re-branded for reasons I don't remember it sounds amazing (has an isolated dual mo... | |
| TUBE AMP LOVERS - What SS amp makes you smile??? Expecting SS amps to sound like tubes could be due to the incessant use of the term "tube like" in the hype chosen by many SS amp manufacturers…actual tube circuits just have that "tubey thing" which has been described frequently by tubers (like m... | |
| Woofer pumping WHY?? I found a few phono preamps with 20hz rumble filters and bought one (Cambridge). Problem solved, but I do wonder if a higher end turntable would be rumble free, as the ultra low frequencies inherent in modern phono playback (and the wide frequency... | |
| How an audio rack can enhance your amp/pre TBG…your response to my post noting it deserves no response is in fact a response, although maybe the word "responce" means something else, although more likely you can't spell the word. I will take this to mean it stands as the perfect post and a... | |
| How an audio rack can enhance your amp/pre Roxy, if my criticism of what I perceive as an utterly over the top example of fawning over, exaggerating of, and mythologizing the benefits of pointy bits seems to you to have a tone of desperation (!), you miss my beautifully (and, dare I say, p... | |
| How an audio rack can enhance your amp/pre Star Sound products aren't my issue here, again, a point thoroughly missed, and my criticism isn't a "personal" thing against "wisper" (who might be a wonderful human) but specifically the content of his post. Please forgive my statement of the ob... | |
| How an audio rack can enhance your amp/pre I have an Audio Museum in my basement with lots of brass cones, spikes, feet (taxidermy is creepy but hey), old cables, maps of Cuba, etc…and I don't recall any of these admittedly basic tweaks actually affecting the TEMPO of music. "Tempo was fas... | |
| How an audio rack can enhance your amp/pre NUTS…for "the group" (!) excepting Ralph who gets things, I offer this simple possible clarification: I use MY OWN EARS for my ultimate opinions on sound (yeah I know..astonishing), and admit I've never met a Charlotte based engineer…but I've met ... | |
| How an audio rack can enhance your amp/pre Regarding the Pro Audio Crowd, I'm not sure they actually exist relative to opinions that matter about anything beyond food and drinking…I don't know many modern engineers who dismiss good cable and gear, or make aesthetic assumptions regarding th... | |
| The Band: S/T and/or Music from the Big Pink I think the mics "bleeding" may represent what music is supposed to sound like, as I've heard very few albums from 1969 that have the coherency or overall tone that is as appealing (to me anyway) as the Brown album. Robertson did surprise the Band... | |
| How an audio rack can enhance your amp/pre Bloating and slurring indeed! I have insisted that musicians I work with (who perform standing up) wear golf shoes (old school steel spiked ones) or step into clown shoes I've nailed to the floor…the golf shoes tear up the stage…and the clown shoe... | |
| How an audio rack can enhance your amp/pre Sorbothane doesn't soften anything sonically, although I can see the weird connection some make to that…it's in the same category as "vegetables that help you because they're shaped like your organs" like cauliflower looks like your brain…illogica... | |
| Peachtree Audio Nova 220SE price drop Peachtree shakes itself. | |
| overwhelmed by record rituals I clean new LPs and anything else I want to listen to from my old stuff I feel weird playing something I haven't cleaned, as if I'm insulting my turntable (or at least the cartridge). Once they only need to be cleaned once as they have no opportun... |
