| Reactions to HP's review of Antique Sound Lab amp? Of course it's just bitching (and so too all is without meaning or ground), but I'm afraid that's what this is becoming as well. I'm keeping my threads separate except where so referenced (I don't change dead horses mid-stream :-), and I'm done on... | |
| Reactions to HP's review of Antique Sound Lab amp? Onhwy61, you may be quite right, but you also may have been able to find similar evidence for your conclusion 5 years ago, 10 years ago, 15 years ago...it's a wide market, and full of 'moments'...Asa: Huh? I hope you're not confusing comments made... | |
| The METERS....tight,funky vibes I don't agree the The Meters "evolved into The Neville Brothers". Obviously, one or more of the brothers Neville play in each or both groups, but they are distinct, and The Meters Josie label stuff I'm talking about doesn't sound much like The Nev... | |
| The METERS....tight,funky vibes I prefer The Meters' Josie label era (about '68 - '70). This is mostly instumental music, roughly the New Orleans counterpart to Memphis' Booker T. & The MG's better-known efforts, but in more of a funk, less soul vein, with a higher ratio of ... | |
| Reactions to HP's review of Antique Sound Lab amp? Asa: No gesture, no feigning - I did not say total neophyte, I said relative novice, as in relative to many other A'gon regulars, for instance. And that's alright - it's actually the way I want it, and it's the way it will still be 30 years from n... | |
| How To Best Deal With Voltage Surges? Alex, though it might be hard for you to top Anthony's 'editorial' (ad budgets apparently not growing on trees these days :-), please let us know how this product performs for you... | |
| Musical Fidelity A3 24 What R My Ears Telling Me? Based on my experiences with connecting both players (mass-market and mid-fi) and a dedicated transport (mid-level high end) to my DAC, it can make a big difference, though I can't speak for your particular player. It's just something you'll proba... | |
| Help with noise You're talking about the KAB, right? I'd let Kevin know, so he can address the issue in his product. | |
| Reactions to HP's review of Antique Sound Lab amp? BTW guys, I should mention that I've said what I've said about this topic (on two threads) without ever having actually read or seen the review in question. And it was easy, for whatever that's worth...maybe Twl was right; maybe I don't need to re... | |
| Reactions to HP's review of Antique Sound Lab amp? Asa, my "this month" isn't meant so much in a calculated or cynical vein (regarding Pearson's motivations, not my own), as it was wistfully, or even groping blindly. I honestly don't know if he, or others in similar positions to his, even have the... | |
| Questions about a new Ruby 2 cartridge Well, that was a short day in the sun for yrs trly...:-) | |
| Musical Fidelity A3 24 What R My Ears Telling Me? Neal, a quick look at the 'feature list' of any mass-market product vs. a typical high end product will be just as 'appalling' - and just as beside the point. ("...Only plays audio"? This is a stereo DAC - what else is it supposed to do?) As for p... | |
| Speaker Cables I think this thread has already gone a long way toward demonstrating once again (as if we needed it) that speaker wire selection is *very* dependent upon system context, particularly as it regards the amp/speaker combination. But then, this is wha... | |
| c-j buffs: MV-55 vs. Premier 11a Shahens: For me, the sound trumps debates about tube types, something I find not to be as pertinent to the sonic result as the circuit those tubes are employed in (including the power supply and output transformer). Thus my VTL MB-185 Sig. mono's,... | |
| How To Best Deal With Voltage Surges? In fairness to Zorpman's observation about price, the EP also is designed to address waveform integrity through real-time correction of harmonic distortion and peak clipping, and doesn't current-limit (the unit passes power straight from the wall ... |
