| Dynavector XV-1s loading question. Which answer above makes the best sense? 35-50, 100-150, 100-200,125-250,700,500-1000,greater than 30 or 47,000 ? It's Larryi's first sentence, combined with Lewm's last sentence. | |
| Dynavector XV-1s loading question. Try 500 to 1000 ohms. You just might find a fuller, suppler, more musical and natural sound in that range. At least, that's what I hear with my XV-1S. | |
| Changing from an XV1-S Said Frogman: "Etched" is probably one of the last words that I would use to describe a component that, to me, sounds realistic.I agree entirely with this statement. In addition, etched has never entered my mind with regard to any live symphony co... | |
| What are we really trying to replicate? Musicnoise, your comments are certainly on the mark. The sound experience at a live rock concert is entirely different from that at a symphony concert. Even at the highest sound/dynamic levels, the ears are rarely assaulted in the same way they ar... | |
| What are we really trying to replicate? "I doubt most concerts have a equal level of sound quality compared to the systems represented on this forum..." MceljoHave you ever attended a live symphony concert? If you haven't, try one...or more. | |
| XLO vs. wireworld Kind thanks, Foster_9, and to you other Audiogoners who have e-mailed me expressing similar sentiments. I'm confident a good number of other members also share our feeling of concern. It contributes to making this a better forum for exchanging ide... | |
| XLO vs. wireworld Hi Doug...I just noticed you're new to Audiogon. In many instances, when someone asks a question similar to yours about sound comparisons among cables, they're typically advised(above)to contact The Cable Company to audition in their home the cabl... | |
| Why don't gold based cable fans try Synergistic Tbg...You raise an interesting point about well designed halls. Partly because of differences in terms of preferred kinds of sounds among listeners, the issue of a good hall design may be more complex than typically assumed. Just to cite an exampl... | |
| Why don't gold based cable fans try Synergistic >>>I doubt, however, that any one of our personal opinions transfer to others<<< It's often tough for those opinions to make a significant dent on existing preferences, and sometimes existing prejudices. The taste for a particula... | |
| Why don't gold based cable fans try Synergistic I concur with Mcondon, at least in regard to the Tesla Accelerator, which I had burned in for well over 200 hours and listened to extensively. I was never able to achieve a relaxed sound with it in my system. Very detailed, but fatiguing in my exp... | |
| Classics you can't have too many recordings of Brahms: Symphonies 3 and 4, Double Concerto, Piano Concerto #1 and virtually all his mid to late chamber music, especially the Clarinet QuintetDvorak: Symphony #8, Cello Concerto and mid to late chamber musicSibelius: Symphonies 4 and 5 and Violin... | |
| Tweaks to Add A Little Treble Emphasis... I agree with Tvad regarding the inherent differences in sound among loudspeakers. I've known some that have "built in" crispness or sizzle, top end rolloff, a forward or a distant perspective, relatively flat or 3-dimensional soundstage, etc. This... | |
| Best Brandenburg Concerto recording CD Anyone currently looking for nicely recorded, superb performances of Bach's Brandenburg Concertos can choose from among these two: Ton Koopman with the Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra on the Apex label-or-Raymond Leppard with the English Chamber Orche... | |
| JPS Labs versus Audio Quest (Megasam?) Unlike Genesis 168, I get plenty of depth and anything but a flat soundstage with JPS Superconductor 3 speaker cable in my system. It's no surprise that we obviously use different associated equipment. | |
| 6922 6DJ8 or 12 AX7 tubes better for preamp? Tompoodie...The different opinions expressed here should have put you right back where you were when you first asked the question. As is usually the case, you'll have to do some auditioning on your own. |
