| That "tube sound" and power ratings OK. Let's please get off my "not all Watts are the same" comment. I didn't realize it would be so badly misunderstood - my mistake. Just so it's understood - I'm perfectly aware what a watt is and is not, so let's move on ... | |
| That "tube sound" and power ratings Wow. Quick first responses! But before this gets too far in, I better qualify that I didn't mean that I'm new to EE or Physics or high-end audio listening. However, I am new to tubes as they're used in audio equipment. So my question is only parti... | |
| Lamm 1.2 vs. Pass xa 60.5 Syntax wrote regarding the XA 60.5:"I missed the emotion which is part in any music."Can you tell me what the rest of the system was that made you feel this way? Am wondering how you can make this very confident statement without qualifying it fur... | |
| moving on from Emotiva UMC-200 pre/processor WTF? I don't know where this is coming from and have no intention of trying to figure you out. All I wanted to do was start a thread to get some help on something I knew almost nothing about: multi-channel and HT equipment. People responded. The t... | |
| moving on from Emotiva UMC-200 pre/processor Zd542-Not worth my time or anyone else's to write here under "false pretenses". Not even sure what you mean by that, and no wish or need to argue and restate what's already been written. All-Thanks to everyone for helping me get back into the fray... | |
| moving on from Emotiva UMC-200 pre/processor You miss the point that I am not asking YOU any question at all directly but was opening up a topic for discussion in a forum. I think my questions are good topics for discussion with people who really want to contribute rather than argue or just ... | |
| moving on from Emotiva UMC-200 pre/processor my previous post is addressed to Zd542 only. sorry if there was any confusion about this. | |
| moving on from Emotiva UMC-200 pre/processor At least 4 problems with your response:1. You appear to have missed the main point of my post.2. You're guessing incorrectly about my experience with the subject matter.3. You aren't being either objective or factual.4. You continue to approach th... | |
| moving on from Emotiva UMC-200 pre/processor Zd542-I find your response to my devil's advocate question to be neither objective nor factual. I do understand the opinions quite well, but doubt they move this conversation forward in any meaningful way. Your over-confident approach to this topi... | |
| Herbie Hancock best recordings All these suggestions kick butt. Outstanding suggestions all. And Viridian, I love vocals and in particuar Norah's.Thank You!John | |
| moving on from Emotiva UMC-200 pre/processor Avo- Yes - I understand now. "Amplifying" makes perfect sense to me. Thanks for the clarification. | |
| moving on from Emotiva UMC-200 pre/processor Zd543 says "But the argument here isn't passive vs active, its the Placette vs Forte Model 2. Each component has its own sound, regardless of design"I'm going to play devil's advocate here to see what the responses might be, as I find this to be o... | |
| Herbie Hancock best recordings Ponnie, Rockadanny, Viridian -Very appreciative of the suggestions! Viridian, I'll definitely look into "The River", but you lost me at "Blue Note". Are you saying this is a bad recording? If so that would be the opposite of what I'm looking for. ... | |
| moving on from Emotiva UMC-200 pre/processor Am very happy to find people having 'fun' with this thread, and am more than ready to jump into the melee or would be if I didn't have equipment comparisons to get to ...As stated earlier I was going to do some testing with a Placette passive pre ... | |
