| What is Warmth? Some violins are warmer than others, and some violinists have sweeter technique. | |
| Have you treated your listening space? Headphones...get some headphones...wait...what about "head treatment"? I found that taping sponges and doll house mattresses to my head makes headphones sound better. | |
| Have you treated your listening space? Geoffkait...I assume you're joking. | |
| Have you treated your listening space? I've treated rooms I've used for home recording studios for years, and worked in pro studios ad nauseum. That said, I'm firmly in the "no treatment needed in the hifi room" group...I like the ambient sound of a "living space" room, and find all I ... | |
| Power On First/Off Last Device? I use an Adcom ACE 515 I bought new that refuses to die...and works prefectly. Also, back in the late 70s my band was filling in an "off night" for a band that allowed our keyboard player to use their gigantic tri-amped rig...with specific instruc... | |
| Would like a good integrated to power Vandersteens Shengya, Kavent, and Vincent integrateds absolutely kill for the money (and they're all made at the same factory). Not that I'm advocating killing for money, but you know what I mean. | |
| Interconnects: solid or hollow core wire? I think the Audioquest theories make sense (although the science seems theoretical)...various sizes of solid conductors wound around each other....and in my audio system (as opposed maybe to my digestive system) it works really well. I assume the ... | |
| New REL R-528 Subwoofer break in period.... The RELs can transform the sound of a system...it did with mine also as it just opens it all up amazingly. | |
| Interconnects: solid or hollow core wire? After all...isn't a solid wire nothing but a large strand? So now I refer to my wire as having four strands, albeit large ones. | |
| New REL R-528 Subwoofer break in period.... Indeed, but the nature of a good sub makes it less obvious. | |
| New REL R-528 Subwoofer break in period.... If there's one component that is less likely to be noticeably "break-in sensitive" it would be a sub. I have a REL and I think if it's working properly and set up right, Stringreen's comment is absolutely correct...any subtle changes in the amp re... | |
| Interconnects: solid or hollow core wire? After using various solid and stranded cables over several decades of audio madness, I recently found a synergistic match to my current pile of electron manipulation gear in a recent iteration of relatively inexpensive Audioquest solid core speake... | |
| Interconnects: solid or hollow core wire? I'm a veteran professional musician...whenever I hear a cable description using the term "rhythmically accurate" I cringe. If a cable is not rhythmic, it's because the dog is chewing on it or somebody with no sense of musical timing is yanking it ... | |
| Is phase control switch a deal breaker for you? Who is Ralph...and should I care? | |
| Interconnects: solid or hollow core wire? So now it's "Expanded Core?" Most of my cables, according to the mfgr description, are "soft core". "Hard core" cables are tawdry. Note that silver plated carrots can be used as "veggie core" and plated animal parts strung together are "meat core"... |
