| How do you judge your system's neutrality? Cbw723, Bryon has indeed stated, in his post of 12/5, that he believes that there is ultimately one way that music reproduction should sound, and went on to comment that that is what it means to be an Objectivist. So yes, he is therefore arguing t... | |
| How do you judge your system's neutrality? Cbw723, if you go back and reread the entire thread, you will see that not just myself but at least three others are indeed questioning the very concept and/or definition and/or operationalization of the term "neutrality", with reference not just ... | |
| How do you judge your system's neutrality? Bryon, for the first time, I am truly puzzled by your reasoning. You posed two questions about Al's example, "Do you not believe a 50K system is more neutral than a $300 Walmart system," and "do you not believe the $300 system has more coloration,... | |
| How do you judge your system's neutrality? Very interesting discussions, guys! Bryon, I think you do misunderstand my position after all. Basically, I do not believe that "neutrality" can possibly exist at all, whether we are talking about a single piece of equipment, the entire system as ... | |
| How do you judge your system's neutrality? Hi Bryon - obviously, the room has a big effect on how the system sounds, I am not arguing this at all, in fact I believe I said this in my post, and I also said that I agreed that room correction systems can make a huge difference. My point was t... | |
| How do you judge your system's neutrality? Wow. Fascinating posts, Bryon. However, ultimately I remain unconvinced by your argument, though it is an impressive statement of your case. Just to take a couple of for instances, first the EQ issue. Surely if a system is very "neutral," "transpa... | |
| Most high-quality loudspeakers are 4-Ohms I agree with Swampwalker - most really high efficiency speakers are 8 ohms or even 16 ohms. There are a great many of us who prefer these mostly vintage speaker types (that were designed for tubes, not solid state) to most if not all of the modern... | |
| Great recording of William Tell Overture? Second the Abbado - another good record was the Reiner one | |
| How do you judge your system's neutrality? Cbw, loved your post! Almarg, I have always enjoyed your interesting and informative posts as well. In this case, however, although I see what you are driving at, I am not sure that the substitution of "accuracy" for "neutrality" really changes an... | |
| Primaluna and Rogue No, Don, the Rogue would probably not sound bright in comparison to the NAD. Those NAD's are not bad little amps, my brother has one of their integrateds. | |
| How do you judge your system's neutrality? Thanks for the clarification, Bryon. I guess where we really disagree, then, is on whether you have in fact proposed "conditions that reliably indicate the presence of a characteristic," emphasis on reliably. I must have missed Hamburg's post - he... | |
| Primaluna and Rogue Sogood, I did not hear the Rogue on my Klipsch speakers, I heard them through a pair of ProAc Studio 140's, through which I have also heard my amp. The Rogue's have much more power than I need to drive my Cornwall 2's, for sure (so do the PrimaLun... | |
| Primaluna and Rogue If you don't think they sound bright, fine! I meant in comparison to the PrimaLuna's, and actually in comparison to all other tube amps I have heard. I have heard them over the exact same set of speakers, wire, etc. as the PrimaLuna's, and everyon... | |
| Primaluna and Rogue Tpreaves is correct - these are two very different sounding products. The Rogue amps are the more modern type of tube amp design, much higher powered, much brighter, more solid-state-like sound. The PrimaLuna amps have a much smoother, warmer, mor... | |
| How do you judge your system's neutrality? Very interesting thoughts, Bryon, points on the water analogy well taken. By the way, I did not mean to suggest that science or truth should be thrown out, and I am not quite sure what exactly about my post suggested that, though clearly it must h... |
