| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! robc33, thanks for mentioning the Manley EQ. We ought to encourage everyone to get interested in EQ and see what products on the market to try. They can be used tastefully for tweaking, or used as major surgery to correct bigger problems. No ne... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! WC, excellent choice to get the BHK monos. The reviews describe them as accurate with a hint of sweetness due to a tube stage, which you will probably like in order to take the edge off the hot tweeter of the Magico for some recordings. For accu... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! klh007, thanks for your interesting observation about the tweeters of Tektons. I feel that dynamic tweeters are inherently superior to larger midrange and LF drivers, because they are smaller and more sensitive, lower mass, etc. BIGGER is often ... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! grey9hound,Thanks for your further assessment of the Tektons. I read the reviews, and can say that your comments are the most useful, in part due to the honest tone set by WC on this thread. I agree with you that anyone considering dynamic speake... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! grey9hound, yes, I have read a lot of the Tekton thread, but as WC says, reviews are tainted by politics and advertisers. That's what makes WC's comments so refreshing. So I would appreciate your personal observations with more observations.. L... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! guidocorona, agreed. Your posts have been very helpful to me. Thanks so much. | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! jetter--sorry if my choice of words made it appear that I think the Tektons are bad, so thanks for alerting me to this, and I will be as considerate as possible in the future. I would not make such a pronouncement, mainly since I have not heard th... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! almarg, thanks a million for your convincing technical explanation about why ARC amps sound as they do. In a related discussion, Bruno Putzeys of Mola Mola uses lots of feedback to reduce distortion to almost zero, and claims that it is an import... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! charles1dad, agree with your observations of the sax player. You didn't mention that you also heard his spit and detailed action of the keys which are glossed over by a lot of equipment. Also, maybe he was playing in a smallish room, that magnif... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! jetter--with your attitude, I don't give a fk what YOU think. Many people here have acknowledged my contributions. A few have emailed me privately in appreciation for my extensive musical background which informs my statements. | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! grey9hound, we would be interested in WHY you think the Tektron Double Impacts are so good. Don't just say they are "the best," or some other undefined value judgment. What are the sonic characteristics in tone, dynamics, etc. for music you eval... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! techno_dude and charles1dad, interesting discussion about colorations of both tube and SS electronics. I agree. 35 years ago, I tried the class A Bedini 25/25 SS amp. It was thickly syrupy sweet with rolled off highs, vastly inferior to almost... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! Very important discussion here about the term, "neutral." Literally, it means that nothing stands out or is emphasized. For example, someone with legal blindness 20/200 vision may see everything equally badly, and someone with superb 20/15 visio... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! Hello ALL,It is not fruitful to argue about what is "best" because "best" is a subjective opinion that is not useful to other listeners here. What is most important and most useful is to be able to OBJECTIVELY describe the sound of a component in... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! Riaa--musical preferences certainly vary, but even though I don't listen much to the music that WC prefers, I still value and respect his observations on the objective and subjective aspects of sound. Violins, harps, guitars, string bass are all ... |
