| Best Amp for Timbre, Depth and Spatial Resolution? NVP...your third point makes absolutely no sense at all. Is this discussion really about imagining differences? You can easily test an amp for output balance, and you can test if speakers are matched, and an amp alone has tonal characteristics for... | |
| Best Amp for Timbre, Depth and Spatial Resolution? If an amp plays in the forrest does it have a sound? | |
| Need Interconnect Advice Used AQ King Cobras are great and can be found el cheapo if you search around. I also like AQ Diamondback balanced cables...again can be found cheap used...opinions vary on these but I think the construction of these cables and overall quality (an... | |
| Cable design Ditto on balanced cable if your system supports it. Some cable theory makes sense (to me anyway), and solid core pure copper is one of them, although I do have a silver solid core S/pdif cable (AQ Vdm 5). The best speaker cable I've owned is a set... | |
| Do I Have the Wrong Cartridge? I have an Akito with a Sumiko Pearl (my local high end hifi store dude highly recommended this thing). The Pearl is astounding, but perhaps too inexpensive for some. Clean, accurate, tracks amazingly...cheap...too cheap... | |
| Do you indulge when listening to your rig? There was an Onion headline that said "kids who smoke found to actually be cooler" or something like that. | |
| Best Amp for Timbre, Depth and Spatial Resolution? I understand room acoustics plenty and often. But thanks anyway. | |
| Best Amp for Timbre, Depth and Spatial Resolution? I like the Dutch actually, and will call out Bo on his innacurate nonesense (to NOT do so is simply wimpy) until I get tired of it. Paul...really..."semitonically?" (huh?)..."walls of neighboring rooms?"...you are utterly wrong. Non identical wall... | |
| Do you indulge when listening to your rig? Why admire not drinking or smoking? According to a survey, people who drink and smoke are cooler and more interesting than people who don't, and I should know because I did the survey... | |
| How to meaningfully audition speakers?? Indeed, but what about my Winebago idea? | |
| Best Amp for Timbre, Depth and Spatial Resolution? My system plays in "3D" without using anyting Bo1972 uses, so I must be VERY lucky. Bo has made it clear that he is all about making the world a better place through sharing his 15 years experience in selling something or other, his listening to m... | |
| How to meaningfully audition speakers?? I listen to live music as a sound mixer (and as merely another unimportant little audience member) often, and play live music every day as a musician and pretend "bon vivant." I beg to differ about this "live music" requirement for home audio "ref... | |
| How to meaningfully audition speakers?? You still have to settle in with them, and that could take a while...luckily there's so much info out there you can easily educate yourself about a lot of stuff, but you never know until you hook it all up at home (even if you live in the parallel... | |
| Tried a Bryston 4B with Maggies I bet his Porsche GT3 doesn't go fast, his Wild Turkey doesn't get him drunk, and his punctuation skills came from the Ivy League. | |
| Do you indulge when listening to your rig? I'm a habitual ice cruncher so beverages "on the rocks" like Wild Turkey (my favorite foul based beverage) cause me to crunch away while listening, thus messing up the experience. I still think a non toxic sense enhancer like decent pot works bett... |
