| Latest comments on PS Audio PP? I am new with mine and just as impressed as Rcprince is. | |
| Blind Listening Tests? Sorry, not JD, Jostler is the scientist i meant.....and ahem Jostler:1. You cannot train gullibility. What you can train is to be a better charlatan in knowingly to pretend to hear differences, which are not there or to pretend not to hear differe... | |
| Blind Listening Tests? Oh heck JD, I forgot France as well. My Jadis stuff just hates it, when I click my heels. All the tubes flare up red in a very dangerous fashion and then there is a bubbly sound through my Quads, like that of VICHY water being poured. Maye I shoul... | |
| Blind Listening Tests? Yes JD, you make sense, Holland is close to Germany, but then you should only klick heels, wearing those funny wooden sandals, the Dutch are famous for and that's also why all the SACD stuff needs wooden cones...and besides stereo, did you also tr... | |
| Blind Listening Tests? A little story comes to mind:When CD's first came out, there were those nuthead believers, who maintained that interconnects between the CD players and the other gear sounded different and worse, that they even had directivity. Of course they were... | |
| Blind Listening Tests? Mike, I think you make a very good point here, namely that we are all prone to be taken in by clever marketing and gushing reviewers, however I think you underestimate the power of a trained ear. I think that well trained hearing acuity beats "mod... | |
| It is frustrating..... Ikarus, I feel as you do, however I doggedly keep on going to concerts, because I want to always refresh the imprint of the real thing in my mind and soul in order to keep the memory fresh for the goal I try to tweak for. | |
| Trouble in Paradise with my Danes? No money I right on the money! I also thought, when reading your post, that your speaker has just bottomed out. Do as he says and here's hoping you'll be back in paradise after that! | |
| Why I use to fall into sleep while liste Strange you should mention this, because, when tired, I also tend to fall asleep, while listening, especially with the lights out. However, with me, this only happens, when I am happy with the system, when nothing bugs me, so I just concentrate on... | |
| Grouding for dedicatied lines? DT, you are not quite clear to me: Generally a dedicated line starts from the grid of your home directly to your listening area and is used for nothing else, but your gear. It also has separate fuses, best those old fashioned ones, which need repl... | |
| Favorite nos tube? RCprince, its Teles for the Jadis front end, exactly for the reasons you propose. Would love to try the Bugle Boys but have not found a source for them so far. | |
| Classics and Cults. Bogus Journalism? Garfish, thanks for your kind words and Doug, there was even an amp by Jim Bongiorno, designer and proprietor of GAS called Grandson (of Ampzilla). All his designs carried a huge pair of sexy looking watt meters in front, were full of fairly cheap... | |
| Classics and Cults. Bogus Journalism? Correction: Now I'm not sure, probably it was the SP 6 not the SP 8 HP kept on raving about in those old days. | |
| Classics and Cults. Bogus Journalism? Oh there was the Beverdige preamp, a Roger Modjieski design, beautifully made and executed, an early two chassis job and expensive, done and financed by the speaker people, also long defunct. Harry Pearson at the time was so infatuated by the SP 8... | |
| Classics and Cults. Bogus Journalism? Again a great thread you are starting. The amp you mention, was it the Rapaport? If the audio writers would not "discover" new stuff to rave over, their rags would bore us stiff, no one would read them anymore, no more advertising. Finito. All thi... |
