| Amplifier Output Relays As far as the Amplimo, I know this isn’t the relay that needs replacing. I can make mention of it to the manufacturer. Maybe someone could explain the Amplino loudspeaker relays? The parts are ALE2X302 output relays. | |
| Amplifier Output Relays Erik, these aren’t that old, there still being used today. Anyway, no kidding but I’ve got to convince my tech to do this at my home. The task should take ten minutes to get to but he’s saying the PCB needs to removed (it doesn’t) and this behemot... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? I used to listen to UFO with an old friend of mine but not lately. Today I listened to the David Crosby, 50th Anniversary Rhino reissue ‘If I Could Only Remember My Name’ | |
| Should We Prioritize Detail In Our Assessment Of Audio Quality? musichead, a CD is stagnant just as a photo itself is stagnant. The object a photo portrays is not stagnant. The physics of light and the spectrum of color are reproduced to realistic perception. Form and space are arranged to depict a living brea... | |
| Should We Prioritize Detail In Our Assessment Of Audio Quality? Admittedly, the above post isn’t spot on but I wanted to point out that a recording, like a photo, is merely a representation. I come back to the John Cage quote, “a recording of Beethoven’s fifth ain’t Beethoven’s fifth.” | |
| Should We Prioritize Detail In Our Assessment Of Audio Quality? An analogy to perceiving detail in a recording while being played by a stereo system; Looking at two nearly identical photos of a 1927 Bulova watch. The only difference between the two photos is that one image is sharper and clearer but the other... | |
| Should We Prioritize Detail In Our Assessment Of Audio Quality? millercarbon, I agree with your assessment that imaging is a prioritizing factor. I disagree however with the your comment stating that digital sources don't in general have more detail. Personally, I have heard digitally remastered recordings whe... | |
| Should We Prioritize Detail In Our Assessment Of Audio Quality? This topic first crossed my mind many years ago when I heard a quote from the violinist Julia Fischer stating that; digital recordings over emphasis detail while compromising musicality. I’m paraphrasing but she did have an objection. | |
| Is Pretty Good Good Enough? Listening Habits In The World Of Streaming Services. I have two DSD downloads from Native DSD and they sound amazing. II'd say, these DSD files sound better than any other source in my stereo. | |
| Is Pretty Good Good Enough? Listening Habits In The World Of Streaming Services. As far as vinyl is concerned, it’s strictly mono for me because I collect vinyl from that era. It sounds very good and I am not bothered by the limitations. Where digital is concerned, I very much prefer my local music collection to Qobuz or Tidal... | |
| Michael Nesmith Just reading online that The Monkees played at the Monterey Pop Festival in 1967. Then mounted a tour from July the 8th to July the16th with Jimi Hendrix as the opener. | |
| Michael Nesmith The Monkees. Sorry about spell check. | |
| How to tame a bright system? Quad 57’s are a good option. I’d see if someone has a pair for sale that they would be willing to let you audition. If you still have brightness while listening to the 57’s, then it’s something other than the speakers. | |
| A pitch too High! terrible, mijostyn is right. When putting the needle onto the center of the laser disc or blank record, adjust the anti skate so that the needle stays in place. Then just slightly adjust the anti skate so the the arm then drifts very slowly toward... | |
| A pitch too High! terrible, I would recommend not using the anti skate at all, just to hear what that sounds like. Then, to set the anti skate, I would use a laser disc. |
