| Love it, or Hate it ? (wood trim) Guess I have to say "love" - I've often found that when faced with the prospect of getting some trim, I really just can't help but getting wood. | |
| Regarding supertweeters I'll admit I haven't investigated this subject from auditioning, but I'm skeptical about the trend for a few reasons:>I know I can't hear anything above 20Khz, nor very much for maybe a 1/4 of an octave below that too. This doesn't mean that no... | |
| Concert stage layout -- who made who? Picking up on Rcprince's point where Russ leaves off, recordings like "Time Out" were recorded in the early days of stereo as a commercial sensation in reproduced sound. There was felt to be an imperative in those days to really "show" the music c... | |
| Vinyl Reason Well, maybe not 'digital' in the informationally coded-bits sense, as DNA might be described, but probably quantized at a certain level... | |
| Thiel and tubes To follow up Mcmiller's post FWIW, I had enjoyably fine if not outstanding results with an MV-55 driving my 2.2's, but the pairing worked much better in a smaller room. | |
| Vinyl Reason Quite possibly not | |
| Thiel and tubes Well, the Zeus, which I understand is Rogue's aussalt on the possible within limits, does seem to be cut from a somewhat different cloth design-wise than their longer-running products, but I've got no Rogue listening experience myself. My problem ... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Recapitulating some recent spins...Gloria Jones - Come Go With Me [Uptown mono LP, 1965] Pop-soul singer best known for the original version of "Tainted Love" (an international smash for synth-wave duo Soft Cell in the early 80's), here in her alb... | |
| Thiel and tubes Trelja: That impresses me, because I know you're a hawk about loose or one-note reflex bass, and the 3.6 *is* kind of difficult in the bass, and not known as much for successful pairings with tubes. Equal credit must go to the Rogue I'm sure... | |
| Vinyl Reason "Zaikesman, do you really think audiophiles are soo dumb that they jump on any bandwagon to come along regardless of whether or not it has anything to offer?"Well, I'm not going to generalize about all audiophiles, and I wouldn't necessarily descr... | |
| Vinyl Reason Albert: Yes, you are one whose collection exempts you from my critique. But I wasn't refering to which format is 'superior' (IMO a hierarchy which can't be bluntly stated for all instances - even at their respective best, both formats have their s... | |
| Thiel and tubes Marakanetz: Your generalization about difficult impedance doesn't apply equally to all Thiel models. My own 2.2's, for example, have a quite flat curve centered around 4 ohms and little problematic reactance, so appropriate tube amps have worked v... | |
| Vinyl Reason Because of all the (mostly old) records I own. Sound, as allegedly defined by format, has nothing to do with it for me. Mastering quality far outweighs format choice in my view, and availability trumps sonics. But even if CD's (or whatever) always... | |
| Anyone hear the Caravelle speaker and not like it? Dan: I'm sorry, I of course I meant to single out the 1.6's. Surprised I didn't catch this over the span of two posts, but I guess I was preoccupied with other thoughts. Didn't mean to confuse anybody. | |
| Anyone hear the Caravelle speaker and not like it? [Sorry, I accidentally posted the above before I was done writing it, and wouldn't you know, Warren punched the button on his post so soon after mine that I couldn't delete it and continue writing within 10 seconds of having clicked by mistake! An... |
