| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! dracule1, ricred1,This is an interesting discussion about how we use words to describe what we hear, and how we define "subjective", "objective", "opinion", "perception". Medically speaking, the shape of our ears, frequency response, hearing thre... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! WC, Just got the latest Stereophile today. A review of the ARC 160 monos. Reading between the lines, the reviewer seems to be in love with its beauty of sound relative to the more detailed Progressions. Now you can use the money for the Progress... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! dracule1--WC does tell us what he likes, but he also describes objectively what the sound characteristic is--laidback, forward, too much highs, bright, lots of bass, sweet or neutral midrange, imaging and space, etc. All with reference to differe... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! geoffkait, thanks for broadening my view of Aerospace to all the wonderful peaceful applications. | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! grey9hound, certainly you are correct that the entire circuit tells the story. But minorl states clearly that sound is totally quantifiable, and I extend his statement by adding, "if you know what to measure." There is a basic inconsistency betw... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! minorl, you make valid points. First, Aerospace is a special case because the customer is mainly or entirely the govt. It is proper that big weapons should be restricted to govt uses and needs, but that limits the size of the market, and therefo... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! geoffkait, thanks for your post, more authoritatively supporting my position. | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! minorl, thanks for your well considered thoughts. Since I am not an engineer, I will defer to your expertise. Just talk to engineers in aerospace, etc. to see whether audio engineers command the intellectual respect you say they do. Also, there... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! mtbrider, thanks for correcting my spelling of Roger's last name. Usually I am a good speller and proofreader, and I laugh at my mistake because I admire Roger's work. | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! To all,I would never want to appear arrogant. But I speak with lots of knowledge, a lot from my electrical engineering father, who worked in aerospace and knew many top engineers in all fields, mathematicians, physicists, etc. In high school I t... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! Guido, thanks for mentioning the Technics R1 amp which uses GaN transistors. I also like the fact that even the heaviest mono Merrill 118 only weighs 65 lbs each. Almost all of the SOTA amps are beasts which nearly disqualify them from considera... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! WC, thanks for your useful list above. The Mac 2301 and BHK might make the list if you get the best grade of tubes from Roger Majeski. Thanks to grey9hound for the link to tubeaudiostore.com, Roger's website. Read all the technical sections to ... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! To several experienced tube rollers here, thanks for your knowledge. I only have the 1 experience years ago with Roger Majeski's tubes on the Theta tube preamp. Perhaps each manufacturer of the same tube type has a general sonic signature, but I... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! doitwithlife, I am not sure you stated what your present electronics are. Can you give just a little more info about what your Elipsa speakers are? The Maggies are excellent, so it would be interesting to hear what you prefer in the Elipsa. When... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! RIAA, funny RHEA. Rhea Perlman (married to Danny DeVito) was funny on Cheers, but I don't know if the RIAA was ever funny. Actually, many old preamps had different EQ curves--RIAA, AES, and I forgot the others. But these curves are still restri... |
