@cdc could you explain more about the speakers that are colorful but not colored? Not trying to be snarky, just want to understand this
How do you add color?
For those of you who are adherents of straight wire, ruler flat frequency response, accurate and neutral sound, artists’ true intentions, etc. ... please stop reading now. You’ve been warned. If you continue to read, you might get heartburn and since I’m a nice guy, I don’t want to do that to you.
Now, for those who are not opposed to adding a bit of color and flavor to tune/tweak the sound to their liking, what is your preferred method of madness? Speakers, amps, preamps, DACs, cables? I know many who like the combination of solid state amps with tube preamps. Lately, a lot of upmarket DACs are using tubes (Lampizator) or R2R to add a sort of tube-like flavoring. Let’s say you’re happy with your solid state amp but want to add a bit of tube magic to the chain, would you get there by way of tube preamps or tube DACs? Or both -- which might be too much of a good thing perhaps?

@noromance , you did indeed, Somehow, I missed your post. Unusual, since your posts always interest me, Credit where credit is due. Regards. |
@mapman Why post just to mock the thread? Some of us enjoy nitpicking Audiophile jargon. Several of you have expanded on my previous post with very interesting commentary. IMO some also confuse engagement with coloration. A speaker that perfectly describes that as a myth is the Totem Metal V2 The Totem is nearly colorless(no sound of its own) but completely engages you without any color saturation. |
