| The closest approach...really there is one "fly in the ointment". that is the recording.recording quality varies. if one is trying to attain a semblance of natural timbre, one has to carefully select recordings, as benchmarks.since the sound of recordings is unknown, the best ... | |
| The closest approach...really hi detlof:i like your approach of assessment by committee. however, if it were possible to remove the potential for misperception, namely, the human brain, the result would be an improvement.measurement to the rescue ??what about something as simp... | |
| What makes up an if the stereo system as a whole is to be assessed as to its merits, assuming that each component satisfies some standards of construction, some objective criteria for performance is necessary.again, it is easier to specify standards than to specif... | |
| The closest approach...really hi detlof:sorry about the spelling. i agree with you in principle regarding evaluation of stereo systems.let me add that preference and accuracy of timbre may be two different conditions.however, even as a reviewer, while i discuss inaccuracy of t... | |
| Vincent Audio i own a vincent cd s6. it uses three tubes, a 12ax7, a 6922 and a 12au7 for the headphone.it is a typical 24/96 modern tube sounding component. there is some tube sensitivity.i am having the metal film resistors replaced as well as the solen and o... | |
| The closest approach...really hi detlf:there are two issues. objective quality, which you so aptly stated should be dependent upon how closely the performance of a stereo system approaches live music.there is also subjective quality, which is basically opinion based upon prefe... | |
| What makes up an there should be some objective criteria, including construction and parts. there should also be some standards of performance.otherwise, it becomes a matter of opinion.for example, i don't consider an oppo dvd player as "high end". however, there ... | |
| The closest approach...really i appreciate your apology, trelja. it shows me you are willing to admit you made an error.you made another error when you assumed that i would seek assistance to carry out the test i had proposed.i only suggested a test of a hypothesis. i have at ... | |
| The closest approach...really hi trelja:i was not asking for help, but rather to offer a test to confirm my hypothesis that i can detect a hybrid speaker when i hear it. it was a nice try , but i certainly would not seek help, from those whom, as you say, i presumably alienate... | |
| Would a political candidate audiophile be skewered i doubt anyone would care. it's so irrelevant. | |
| Which is the best CD-Player up to $ 10k ? by the way, "analytical", is not a synonym for "accurate".if the emm is analytical, it is significantly colored. how is that a basis for recommending it for purchase ?who would want to own an "analytical" sounding component ? | |
| Which is the best CD-Player up to $ 10k ? here is a relevant question:when listening to the amr vs the emm, in which case is the timbre of an instrument rendered more like the actual instrument ?from what i have gleaned, the amr will be less timbrally inaccurate than the emm.both players ... | |
| The closest approach...really i have heard many combinations of dipoles and cones. in each case i have noticed the distinct sound of each driver. thus, for my ears there is a loss of coherence.i would like to be put to the test, blindfolded, and listen to a pair of electrostat... | |
| The closest approach...really i have owned quads--57s and 63s, and will purchase another pair of 57s, soon.i would not add a sub to the 57s. the integration of the two drivers is a big problem.i have heard quads with various subs, including gradients, and i don't like what i h... | |
| Leaving amplifiers on all the time??? the best advice is cost benefit analysis.if you leave your amp, pre and cd player on all of the time, what is the differntial in cost , i.e., electricity vs turning them on and off as needed.compare the alleged cost savings in your electric bill w... |
