| Is harmonic accuracy and timbre important at all? So many great points raised here, where do I start?I asked Kathy at Thiel once if she or Jim knew of studios that monitored or mixed with Thiels let alone time and phase coherent speakers. They told me they had no knowledge. And even if the speake... | |
| Cartridge Break-In Just play records, forget about break-in and enjoy the ride. It will happen and you will be glad that you controlled the break in process to get, about 50 or so hours of playing from now, the sonic satisfaction you seek. Like music itself, the bre... | |
| jm lab grand utopia be--- any thoughts ? Ozy, my questions:Can you help me understand why anyone would want to hear timbre and harmonic content that is anything but accurate as possible upon transducing the signal fed by the amplifier?I mean, why would you want to hear only some of the h... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? The Tubes first album.Haven't listened to this one in years.WOW | |
| I am looking for reviews of Jolida 402A tuner I am one of those 8 or 9 who purchased one new from Joe Sausa at New Tube about a year ago. I am very happy with this tuner, not really expecting much, but I have to say it exceeds my expectations in every way. My reference tuner is a Meridian 504... | |
| Is live reproduction the goal of audio? C5150: you lost me bro'. Sorry but my puny brain can't cope with your exposition on boiled steak.Hey we're in this particular universe at this time, who knows where or what universe we might end up in the next moment? But art, and especially music... | |
| Dunlavy SC IVa or B&W 802 Warnerwh, I know and I have studied and compared this through extensive listening with friends' systems and at shows for years. I have also owned KEF, Dynaudio and Paradigm, while good products, are unacceptable to me compared to Thiel, Vanderstee... | |
| What CD would do your speakers? Warrenh, well then how about some Pole? That will move the woofers alot. Or even better, Plastikman's Consumed. I once got a Bryston 4BST to go into the red and then one channel overheated and quit temporarily from the bass content alone.OK? | |
| John Dunlavy may not be with us much longer. My energy to you John, see you in the unified field. You are truly missed. | |
| Dunlavy SC IVa or B&W 802 This one's easy...there is no question about it, Dunlavy's are accurate in time and phase and reproduce accurately the signal fed them by the partnering amplifier.This is an exceptional, albeit out of production, speaker.Check out the step respons... | |
| 2ce signature vandersteen with what amp? I also prefer tubes with these though they do also sound great with a high quality solid state amp. Powering mine with a recently purchased Rogue Cronus integrated.Sounds amazing! | |
| jm lab grand utopia be--- any thoughts ? I have heard these at shows in San Francisco and in Montreal a few years ago. At the SF show the demo was Dark Side of the Moon's "Money" track. I was not impressed. They simply did not rock, nor were they convincing. My wife looked at me and aske... | |
| Is live reproduction the goal of audio? If the end result connects me emotionally to the music, and I can transfer the intentions of the composer, musician(s), engineer and producer, so that an honest, accurate, representation of the event, live or otherwise, is conveyed, then the combi... | |
