| Do you indulge when listening to your rig? I owned a Grammer guitar for 40 years or something...just like Slim Witman! Also, I've never plugged a guitar amp into the ACE515...too much work schlepping an amp from the studio area into the hifi room. And my current fave guitar amp was made in... | |
| Tubes vs Solid State - Imaging, Soundstaging, 3D It's good that Mirthless Mel is taking a break from this forum before the wheels come off of what's left of his rational mind. If you have to ask if my opening statement was ironic, I have to assume you're maybe Dutch.I'm not a proponent of anythi... | |
| Tubes vs Solid State - Imaging, Soundstaging, 3D All SS amps (other than hybrids) are 100% guaranteed to not use tubes. They excell at that. Good tube amps excell at "low level detail" and are quiet, or zillions of serious listeners wouldn't be using them. Does anybody really say, "I like tube a... | |
| Tubes vs Solid State - Imaging, Soundstaging, 3D Tubes degenerate very slightly over time and there is no significant audible change until they wear out, conventional (or convenient) myths notwithstanding. Tubes are more fun, and tube amp owners are usually better looking people likely due to th... | |
| Two Subs? Bo...I can only assume things about your taste in sound quality based on your posts. When you claim to use subs crossed over at 140hz and then you filter the hell out of them with room correction, I can get a good idea of what you're looking for. ... | |
| Bob Carver LLC has been purchased by Emotiva THAT is hilarious! I wonder if they're clawing back whatever they paid Bob, and I wonder how the Emotiva tube amps will sound...cool...so now Carver tube amps have no support? Interesting...Absolute Sound just recommended a couple of 'em. It's a s... | |
| How to meaningfully audition speakers?? I have a hot girlfriend, so it looks like it's you Mapman. | |
| Two Subs? Bo...you should perhaps familiarize yourself with audio terms..."flatten" in this case simply means to straighten a frequency curve using EQ and volume parameters designed into room correction devices. This is based on device measurements that "se... | |
| Two Subs? As an audio engineer, I can safely say that room correction absolutely "flattens" bass, because that's what it's designed to do. And Bo, you have no idea what my system sounds like, as I have no idea how you "played" Kodo drums with room correctio... | |
| How to meaningfully audition speakers?? See? I mean really...there is too much here to not have fun with it. He competes and is supposedly a perfectionist in a subjective arena utterly lacking any motivation from selling anything, although he sells things for a living. The Dutch Mountai... | |
| How to meaningfully audition speakers?? I refuse to stop picking on BO because it's too much fun, and he doesn't understand my posts anyway. | |
| How to meaningfully audition speakers?? Weimaraner Beau? TMI. Also, how are we mere mortals to listen to anything on the same level as a person with "photographic memory of sound?" Although photos are silent, I get it. Luckily, I was blessed with photographic detection of bullshit. Or i... | |
| Two Subs? Martykl...I understand. And I also understand that room correction "flattens" bass, resulting in flattened bass even if the music has large bass as in a giant bass drum (for example, one of those pops up here and there in a fave Scofield/Frissell ... | |
| Two Subs? Sub measurements schmeasurements! I get lots of clean bass, because if I didn't I would be unhappy. Unclean bass indeed! Not sure what "smoother" sound means, but whatever I'm getting from my little REL seems smooth...I think it's dialed into mayb... | |
| Two Subs? I don't think you need 2 subs unless your mains are extremely challenged...summing the left and right signals in the "high level" input of a REL and setting it at around 55 hz or so (or wherever your mains start to drop off) is all the bass you mi... |
