| What direction should Hi Fi tune fuse be installed Raw data becomes cooked data once it enters your head, or at least it's refried. | |
| What direction should Hi Fi tune fuse be installed My question remains, what live sound are we talking about? The sound of Esperanza Spaulding at Sculler's in Cambridge with Joe Lovano? Because at THAT show you couldn't hear her bass tone definition (bad sound mixer who should have been shot), and... | |
| What direction should Hi Fi tune fuse be installed I'm gonna reverse the direction of all the fuses in my rig, listen to it, reverse some of them, reverse the other ones, re-reverse the previously reversed ones, and then return the entire thing to its non reversed state. Allowing for reversal and ... | |
| What direction should Hi Fi tune fuse be installed Almarg knows things. This is good. The topic of "what live music sounds like" kills me. What we hear is influenced by personal perception that is individualized by ear wax, your hat, your background including mommy issues and environmental influen... | |
| What direction should Hi Fi tune fuse be installed I know what live music with no amplification sounds like...it's less loud, unless it's in your face..."get that damn bassoon out of my ear you FREAK." I also know what my acoustic guitar sounds like when I play it, except the only way to know what... | |
| New Pangea Audio AC-14 XL Power Cord Pangea likely bundles the older "trade in" cables and ships them to third world countries to foster sub par hifi...shameful. | |
| Silverline Sonatina IV I called Silverline a couple of years ago about my Preludes (thought I needed a replacement woofer but it was simply disconnected)...Alan Yun answered the phone himself (!) and could not have been nicer, spoke with me at length about the Preludes ... | |
| New KT150 tubes? There seems to be some confusion regarding 120s or 150s, and I like it. | |
| primaluna gear, avalon eidolon speakers, cardas Spoken with the zest of the classically insecure. "The best sound possible" is not an absolute, it is simply an opinion. Subs driven to upper mids and squashed by digital EQ is rarely optimal, realistic, or recommended, and since this is the appro... | |
| primaluna gear, avalon eidolon speakers, cardas When exposed to audio opinion bullying from a psuedo technical gasbag like Bo, who bases his seemingly inexorable conclusions on "16 years of selling things," it's important to not lose sight of the actual realities of great hifi sound...i.e. well... | |
| Chinese integrated for around $1k Jolida (from the MD people) makes piles of these in various tube/power configurations and recent versions seem very well done. I suggest a gently used one for el-cheapo. My amp (502P) sounds great and has worked flawlessly in daily use for over 2 ... | |
| New KT150 tubes? I'm confused...Only ARC has matched sets? Have other matched sets proved unreliable? I don't understand what that means since you say they haven't approved them for use, but then I'm easily confused. Many Ebay sellers know what they're doing and a... | |
| New KT150 tubes? I'm a bass player who doesn't fish. | |
| New KT150 tubes? Ebay had that price from somebody a few times...seems actually fair. | |
| New KT150 tubes? BASE NOTES...man..."Base fishing anyone?" I may get a quad of 150s (300 bucks is the magic number here) and plop them in my Jolida and just stand back with a fire extinguisher and wait...either it blows up and destroys my entire neighborhood or th... |
