| Which comm. speaker mfgr. makes the best cabinet? Very interesting to think about. I'm not sure that any one manufacturer has really gone all out and put together everything that would be possible in an advanced cabinet for a dynamic box speaker. Some things do readily jump to mind. The first cab... | |
| The Big Boys vs. the Little Guys Price point comparisions would be appropriate in this thread, and some of the above also leave out the specific models involved - how can even broad (not to mention flawed!) conclusions be drawn here without this basic info? | |
| cool picture of the day? Hmm, audio porn...why can't I bring myself to care about this?... | |
| Martin Logan Prodigy versus the Odyssey Shouldn't that be "Ascent"? Sorry I can't be of actual help here, but I am curious, where in this country can someone live whose closest M-L dealer is 700 miles away? The company ought to attend to that situation... | |
| How About that Jazz Fest down in New Orleans.... I went once (I think it was 1990), and I had a great time, saw a lot of fantastic music, and ate like a horse (sorry, but I don't drink)! Just being able to see the blind bluesman Snooks Eaglin, who doesn't play outside of N.O., was worth it alone... | |
| Mosfet amps A true compromise betw. tubes and SS? So, will you audition these amps in Germany, and if you do, let us know what you think? Good luck, Z.P.S. Tweek, I must admit that in this thread as well as our previous encounter, I have had the darnedest time trying to follow you. Is it me? Or a... | |
| Mosfet amps A true compromise betw. tubes and SS? Of course Tweeterman will take exception with me on this, but I don't believe that anyone can look at a web page, see what type of technology is employed in a piece of gear, and think they have even an inkling of what it will sound like - either i... | |
| Horns + tube amps: can they handle LOUD like SS? The music you like and your preferred playback volume levels mitigate against going low-power SET. Ultimate purity of harmonic structure is not as important a factor for replay of hard rock music as are high-volume capability, full frequency range... | |
| I am pissed I purchased a DAC here on the 'Gon from a member in Chicago. He shipped it to me UPS, but it had some operational problems when it arrived. Whether or not shipping played a part in these, the unit was under warranty for him as original owner, so I... | |
| An unscientific poll: How often are you happy? (SLAP!!) Thanks Nil, we needed that... | |
| An unscientific poll: How often are you happy? Well, if nothing else, Detlof may be on to a new criteria for establishing the benchmark in system resolution - that is to say, simply being able to *hear* the passage of said wind emanating from that particular location in the orchestral ranks, a... | |
| BAT VK50SE or CJ Premier 16LS Series ll The "impedance mismatch" you refer to has to do with the ratio of the preamp's output impedance to an amp's input impedance. Basically, the higher the preamp's output impedance is, the higher the amp's input impedance should be. The C-J's design m... | |
| Sound quality vs. Mood I don't disagree out of hand with the common theories about power quality late at night (although my own measured line voltage doesn't vary much), but I feel (skewed, no doubt, by the fact that I live in the city) there is also a strong correlatio... | |
| An unscientific poll: How often are you happy? Doctor, I must take pains to point out that the offending coronetist had undoubtedly been drinking beer (beir), not scotch, before performing his percussive exclamation! Wouldn't it be indicated only to imbibe spirits that are like in kind to thos... | |
| An unscientific poll: How often are you happy? So that's my problem - I never guessed that being a teetotaler would prevent me from getting the most from my costliest hobby... |
