| Intoxicating music John Abercrombie's "Timeless" took me to the blue frozen mists of "The misty mid region of Weir". I'm still perusing Phillip Glass and Mike Oldfield, of "Tubular Bells" fame.I had flashbacks of "head shops" when I heard "In-Gadda-Da-Vida". Those w... | |
| What is the single best pre amp you have ever hear While I chose ARC, ARC don't got "soul". CJ preamps got "soul", could anyone elaborate on other preamps. | |
| It's All in Your Head I've known a number of professional Jazz and Blues musicians, none of which had an "audiophile" system. John Lee Hooker could certainly afford one before he died. However, I've been told that Classical musicians have audiophile systems; you can ma... | |
| Old TT vs New TT: Rebuilt Dual 701 or Rega RP3 This kit consists of high quality Cardas Wire that replaces both the internal and external cable. The result is a single piece of wire from the cartridge to the male RCA's that plug into the preamp. The improvement on my Rega was dazzling.While th... | |

| Old TT vs New TT: Rebuilt Dual 701 or Rega RP3 That Rega can be brought all the way up to the level of the Sota Star Saphire, which is one heck of a TT. This is according to a Sota Star Saphire owner.A Saphire Groovetracer, plus new tonearm wire and tonearm weight will do it. | |
| SS amp as opposed to tube amp Larryi, you made a very positive contribution, not only to "newbies", but to myself as well. I'll have to audition an OTL amp.In regard to the "tube sound", although I have all tubes including NOS tubes, I don't have "the tube sound". | |
| SS amp as opposed to tube amp Rrog, some days my system sounds so glorious that I'm transported to another time and place, but on other days it may not sound so glorious. What is real, and what does my imagination contribute to that euphoria. | |
| SS amp as opposed to tube amp Many "newbies" will not have the opportunity to audition tube and SS amps to decide for themselves whether or not the sonic merits of a tube amp are worth the additional cost, they depend on these forums. Audiophiles on a budget can not fly to the... | |
| SS amp as opposed to tube amp Schubert, I had the same thing happen when something blew in a SS amp. | |
| What Does Holographic Sound Like? Sabai, I should be asking you the questions, as opposed to you asking me. My "holography" does not follow me around the room. When I leave the sweet spot, I leave the holography, maybe I can train it to follow me around the room.But laying all jok... | |
| What Does Holographic Sound Like? Sabai, I will be more than happy to tell you everything I know about holography. First, Carver was not true holography. I've owned and tried almost every gimic under the Sun, none of them worked.Let us compare obtaining holography to cooking a goo... | |
| What Does Holographic Sound Like? Sabai, I left Carver behind a long time ago, that didn't compare to the holography I'm speaking of now, and I've heard incredible levels of holography with incredible price tags. What I heard at that high end emporium was all top of the line ARC a... | |
| What Does Holographic Sound Like? I must have been responding to Almarg's post, my bad. | |
| What Does Holographic Sound Like? Sabai, my experiences have been the same as yours. Before I got to where I am, Carver holography was my thing. There's no comparison with what I had and what I got.It took years to get where I am, but fortunately "high end emporiums" existed at th... |
