| Mcintosh, YBA, Brinkman integrateds Scootster: WHICH Tannoy speakers? The McIntosh is meatier sounding (see Aball above) than the Passion. The Brinkman is s/where in the middle, with the Passion giving the best detail. | |
| What's a good website to describe different tubes? I remember that Viridian researched available info on the net. Why not ask him | |
| How could High End audio be improved? Onhwy, "Does this mean those not involved in high end audio are not drawn to feel more beauty in music?" Reading Asa as a 3rd party, the answer is, "probably not". It doesn't follow from his words that, not using hi-end as a tool in my pursuit of ... | |
| Definitive Beethoven's 9th recording Try Furtwangler's Bayreut recording from the early '50s. (Note however, that the orchestra is below stage level @ Bayreut, so it sounds as if it's playing on the floor!)There's also a 1936 recording of Furtwangler/Berliner which, IMO is even bette... | |
| 2003 CES Show Report from Father & Son Audio Thank you, Fs, for sharing with the rest. I'm sure your effort will be appreciated. Cheers | |
| Criminy, I've reached 300 threads I guess I'm still in the top three: +800. But then, I've been around for some time (~2yrs?). | |
| How could High End audio be improved? Nicely put, Asa! In a similar vein, proponents of "good sound at home" (i.e. musical beauty) USED to be opinion leaders in their social group; now they (we) are geeks. There is another consideration:Activity & interactive "leisure" keeps our m... | |
| Anyone heard outstanding sub/sat combinations? SF Guarneri with the bigger SF sub; AP Step with Luna sub. I liked the sound -- but I'd shy away from the word "outstanding"... Main electronics are important though, to get a seamless/coherent sound. | |
| Where have all the protest songs gone? There's a difference b/ween then & now. Then, such songs were mainstream, hits. Now they're niche...After all, what IS there to complain about? OUR world is now perfect -- right? | |
| What is/are your the most favourite composer s ? Mahler, Brahms, and J S Bach, for emotional involvement. This is one difficult question, you know! | |
| Tube amps you have heard with Quad 989 Auditioned 989s (single pair) with the folowing gear thru a digital source (music: concerti & lieder only):* their own tube electronics* KR 8000 mono + KR pre/CAT Ultimate pre (preferred CAT)* Pathos mono + pathos pre/CAT Ult. pre (ditto CAT),... | |
| Do you leave your SS amp on all the time? Sean definitely gets (at least) the nomination for wattage waster for the millenium. Detlof is probably up there too.BTW, I leave my amps on all the time (class A) unless there's a storm or I'm away for days. It takes my system ~48 hours of operat... | |
| Men & Women & Bass Zaike -- T. Rex / M Bolan??? Is this historical knowledge OR "Geeez, some of us are showing our age around here":)? Judith -- tsk, tsk! I remember Cher when she was paired to a Son(n)y -- how's that for geriatric. And I saw D Oistrakh in concert a... | |
| okay, here we go again... You'll need serious driving (current, etc) abilities for the speakers; three products that come to mind are Symphonic Line rg10 (i heard this recently), YBA Passion integre, MAYBE the Pathos integrated (tube hybrid).I liked the sonic qualities of ... | |
| Duevel Loudspeakers I inadvertently deleted a private mail from a member, concerning Duevels...(too much spam these days). Sorry, but I didn't notice the name until it was too late -- please mail me again! HNYear! |
