New Visitor Confused Over Upgrade


I found this website hoping to compare technical specifications between my Carver receiver and a newer model by Bang & Olufson. As the quoted total harmonic distortion and signal to noise ratio of the Carver is very low, I didn't think that new equipment would add any discernible benefit, at least not enough to justify the considerable difference in price. I am finding a lot of your posts more confusing than informative. As a professional person (not to brag but I make six figures) who has completed post graduate level correspondance courses in EE and knows how to solder, a lot of your posts about tube amps (obselete!) and wires (commodity?) etc. just don't really make sense. In addition to the Carver, I am using a Sony Disc Jockey and I have JBl speakers which are very accurate (used as monitors in many recording studios) and very revealing about associated components. You guys should really learn a little more about how electronics really work before posting such definitive opinions which could mislead new people looking for guidance.

too clever for eber, must be cwlondon, eh. you brave enuf to come outta your closet? or maybe go in?
Was there a full moon recently? I gotta admit, this one and and the jazz clown sure do make me wonder. I kind of hope eber shows up here or on the Coltrane thread.
Hey Peter...I'll bet ya think BOSE sounds real good too!!! P.S. Be careful... JBL's have been known to cause severe bleeding from the ear canal.
To Ohala -- actually, the new JBL LSR series of studio monitors are very accurate transducers capable of of very solid imaging and soundstaging performance. The JBL has received rave review in both TAS and Mix. Very few products have received praise from such diverse sources.
