Fidelity Research FR-64 vs. FR-54

@thekong : Comes for more?

Hi Raul, coming back? No, I was always here waiting for your reply on how your room / turntable system could defy physic and be immune to the airborne feedback (also remarked by Mr J Carr)!

This is really enlightening, you were praising the systems you had visited, and some of them even had TUBE equipment!!! WOW!

Yes, I know you can't live with those gentleman opinions. But you can't do nothing about because that's the quality levels of the Essential first version.

Which gentleman’s opinions are you referring to? Most of the thread was talking about other audio issues rather than your phonolinepreamp.

I can surely live with those gentlemen's opinions, but did any of them agree with you that tube must be inferior to SS?

I believe more in people’s action than their words! If you bother to check the systems of the participants in that thread (those that is listed in Virtual Systems), you will see it is around 50/50 for all SS system vs systems with tubes.

in a meeting there through a listening session with around 8 gentlemans ( one of them a Dagogo's reviewer. ) and making comparisons things were that no one but me took in count that the system owner all tube ( four chasis/boxes. ) phonoline item had a serious fault: its left channel was down around 2db-4db against the rigth channel.
This sole fact can tell you the level of those 8 pairs of golden ears touted by you.

Just to be clear, I never mentioned those gentlemen's names until you did!

This is very interesting, so now you are saying those gentlemen’s listening skill are questionable? If so, then why do you always quote members' praise to your phonolinepreamp, as if those are facts?

Oh, I get it, anyone who praises your phonolinepreamp must have good listening skill; all those who prefer something else just don’t. Is that it?

It's weird that all Essential owners I never meet them and never listened the Essential before bougth it.

Oh, do you really mean "all Essential owners"? If so, then are you saying that all those who you had met and had listened to the Essential didn't buy it? That is weird, or is it?!!!

Hi: """  I object to his claim that he has superior listening capability "AHEE" to everyone else on this forum """

I never said or posted that anywhere in any forum.

Slow amps?, well could be but the mods I made it helps a lot because both the audio signal goes directly to the input circuit board ( by-passing some original stages. ) and the power electrical signal goes directly too.

In the other side I had several amplifiers in my system that my dealer's friends want it to check or that I ask for: Audio Note, VTL, Gryphon, Krell, modern MLs, Pass, FM Acoustics, Coda, Parasound, Classe, Boulder and other ones.

The dealers and audio friends never made a comment on that specific regards and I never detected that my monobloks are " slow ". Even the original specs, reviews and other owners never reported about.

Dear @dover : Btw, please tell me what to look to be aware/detect if my amps are slow or not and specific LP tracks ( 5-6 ) where I can detect it. The amps I can have easily to compare are: FM Acoustics and Gryphon.

In the other side why do you think my amps are slow and slow compared against which specific amps?

Thank's in advance, appreciated.

Regards and enjoy the MUSIC not DISTORTIONS,

@dover : Only critics with no advise/help?  why?

R.

Dear @dover : At least tell us why those amps are slow ones.

It's pity that a gentleman like you with your knowledge level come and post " something " with no explanation, with no adcvise to, with no real audio target other that spread your bad attitude.

Try to solve it and give your advise here.
