| Just the musings of an audiophile Seems like I spent all that money so I could stop listening to sound analytically. I've always enjoyed the music but there's just less noise in the way now. | |
| Buzz about pure class A solid state amplifiers ? You did an A/B comparison between class A and class A/B except that A and B were apples and oranges (bananas, if you prefer). Not to mention the interaction with the rest of the system and personal preferences.The only true test would be on the sa... | |
| Manley Snapper mono blocks-Your opinions please I arranged a purchase of Snappers for a friend with Dunlavy SCIII's. I got a "family" discount but my brother don't work there no more so don't ask. They did spend a brief time in my system but I also got to hear them several times later.Aptly nam... | |
| Isolating CDP from weak wood floor Automotive valve springs. Preferably, not performance ones. Glue them to a MDF, acrylic or marble top, to keep it from toppling over.Haven't tried this yet but my CDP will skip on bass notes if I turn up the volume. I just haven't turned it up tha... | |
| Promitheus Ref TVC and RWA Sig 30.2 Power Amp The source(s) is/are more critical to a TVC, or any passive, than the amp. | |
| Infinity kappa 9 or kappa 9.2? Biamping? I assume you meant with one amp for bass and one for mids/highs. I get confused with the vertical/horizontal terminology. Anyway, only marginal advantage that way. Power supply capacity is still determined by bass and intermodulation dis... | |

| Laid Back Speakers amps, players etc Let's take a poll. Maybe we can find out what "musical" means too. ;)Classe30: Not familiar with Nola. ML, Maggies, IRS and Genesis are the dipoles I've spent some time with. | |
| Laid Back Speakers amps, players etc We do NOT have a consensus on the meaning.I did not infer any tonal qualities at all. Although there probably is a relation between the presentation of the soundstage and frequency, harmonics, and many other factors, I have yet to isolate the comm... | |
| Magnepan 3a's with two bridged krell 1000wpc 8ohms Overkill? What's that? Funny thing about Maggies is that if you overfeed them, they they don't get fatter. | |
| Laid Back Speakers amps, players etc I also use that term to describe a sound with less tendency to "bloom" along with the dynamic transients. It certainly doesn't mean reduced dynamics, just more stability. The antonyms could be "forward" or "aggresive". A "laid back" soundstage wou... | |
