| The new Synergistic Research BLUE fuses .... No comment. | |
| Schiit Reference Sytem review: Freya into Yggdrasil, into Vidar I like the Loki…wrote a little review…it’s way cool (the Loki, not necessarily my review). | |
| For tube sound, which is more important: preamp or power amp? I've said this before and I'm sure I'm not the first: If it sounds good, it's good. Period. | |
| Tastes change with age? Walter Becker's two solo albums are "beatnik deluxe" masterpieces, as are all the Steely Dan albums really. | |
| Best looking reel to reel Otari and Revox were my faves, now I wouldn't mind having one of the United Audio rebuilt Teacs as they supposedly sound great with outboard power supplies and all that, but still…reel to reel seems too fussy these days, and expensive. | |
| Tastes change with age? I've come to a serious "beatnik" period for the last 10 years or so where I can't get enough jazz…love piano trios both old and new (newer brilliant youngsters who can REALLY play give me hope for civilization in general)…and rarely listen to any ... | |
| Soundstage and explosive dynamics? Phased array powered concert speakers can sound better than ever if they're good ones…they vary, as does the ability of professional sound mixers (like me). Bad live sound is inexcusable but common. I think any good system can be "explosive and dy... | |
| Tube Amplifier for Thiel Hey now…that's a 4 year thread jump! Is that even legal? | |
| For tube sound, which is more important: preamp or power amp? My experience is with both home audio and guitar amps over about 106 years (musician years are different due to the effects of smokey bars and frequent string changing). I currently am using a very clean and detailed balanced SS preamp paired with... | |
| The new Synergistic Research BLUE fuses .... "Their" instead of "they're"…oops…I hate it when that happens, but thanks to oregonpapa for helping me out...and here is the point I was somewhat sarcastically (!) responding to which oregonpapa missed: From jafreeman, "The history of Magnepan use... | |
| Shiit Loki I keep it off most of the time since I don’t need "room EQ," and it’s so cheap I might get another one for my headphone amp…although...there are rumors there could be another "non mini" EQ one coming along (rumor directly from the Schiit Loki FAQ ... | |
| Low heat alternative to FIRSTWATT J2 ? It’s a simple thing to wire a small quiet fan hidden near a hot amp. Years ago I had amps in a closet space and did just that and it worked…there was a brand called Whisper Fan, now there’s lots of stuff for that. An easy solution that should help... | |
| The new Synergistic Research BLUE fuses .... Tear at the seams and dreams of others? The poor, fragile, audiophile…*sniff*...Hmmm...And the shill thing came from the "hard sell" AND GET YER MONEY BACK IF NOT 100% SATISFIED thing that was mentioned ad nauseum in previous posts…tawdry! I'm, of... | |
| The new Synergistic Research BLUE fuses .... One of my qualifications is the fact that I placed third in the NY State Surfing Championships Senior Longboard Division in 2002 at Ditch Plains in Montauk. Got the trophy RIGHT HERE. There were only 2 others in my division, but still…a win's a wi... | |
| The new Synergistic Research BLUE fuses .... I'm still not sure why asking a simple (still unanswered) question is trolling, and it's also interesting that "fleschler" (I think that's also a rare skin condition) feels my "credentials" are meaningless (mine aren't actual credentials, just jus... |
