| comparing monitors I've heard the LSA1 monitors ($1000k), and they have wonderful imaging and surprisingly deep, clean bass. A friend borrowed them to compare with his B&W Signature 805, and was thoroughly impressed with their performance. I would guess his room... | |
| Modwright SWL 9.0SE Pre ... your thoughts welcome Has anyone tube rolled with the SWL9.0SE? I wondering if it's possible to warm up the tonal characteristics beyond what the TungSol 5687 tubes provide, without losing the extension. | |

| When is digital going to get the soul of music? I wish someone on the Audiogon staff would explain why the editing feature appears on some threads and not on others. Damn, it's frustrating.I wrote:Actually, it's generally accepted practice to divulge one's affiliation with a manufacturer...I wa... | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? 01-19-06: MmakshakI want to defend Tvad here.Thanks, Mmakshak. First, he posts a lot.Way too much. :) Second, I believe that he gets more out of posts on audiogon than almost anyone. That is why, I believe, that he is insistent on people posting p... | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? 01-18-06: SerusTvad: "Mmakshak" is a paying customer. I often invite local customers over to listen and compare their cables to mine. I appreciate a word of mouth, but I don't ask anybody to post anything. In this particular case, to post a lot...... | |
| How long do Cassette Decks last I have had mine since 1989. I don't know about hours, but in general, I imagine cassette decks haven't accumulated the same hours as a CD player purchased in the same year, and therefore are substantially under their life expectancy. | |
| Great music but poor recording recommendations. 01-11-06: Matt8268Oooh, I second Rush's Hemispheres. One of my favorites. You may want to try the remastered version of this album, some say it improved. I can't tell all that much.I just received the Rush Remasters version of "Hemispheres", and I... | |

| Is live reproduction the goal of audio? What music isn't recorded live? How else can you record an instrument if it isn't a live person recording it?True. Yet, recording techniques vary, and some engineers/labels (think Chesky among others) endeavor to capture the live event more honest... | |
| Is live reproduction the goal of audio? I guess my goal...is to assemble a system of components that gets me closer to the original performance...but above all communicates the composer's/artist's message and the emotion of the performance and music being played.What exactly entails "g... | |
