| What can $300 do? Triangle Titus? | |
| Weight vs Wattage vs Current vs Slam vs Value I would go with the standard list of measured performance tests on the model of amplifier you are considering, conducted by knowledgeable technicians (this should eliminate most magazine reviews right there, either they simply don't measure, à la ... | |
| Is this the best analog has to offer? Another case of HUGE improvements actually being SUBTLE ones, I fear. This is where the hobby part comes in: numerous adjustments, upgrades, tweaks and record handling procedures will be suggested. At the end of the day you will probably realize t... | |
| ASL Hurricanes vs Tenors - which are better? How can anyone compare a Canadian product to a Chinese product? Never heard either, so this is based purely on jingoistic concerns. Insofar as being worthless, my comments are directly in line with just about everything Arthur Salvatore has ever p... | |
| Is less than 24 bits worth it? Arcam FMJ CD 23. | |
| Table speed Buzz-Feiten...or is that too close to digital? | |
| Physical explanation of amp's break in? Does it keep on breaking-in until it breaks down or does it stop exactly at the zenith of this process? Do you hold to the theory that the component unlearns this molecular path of least resistance trick if not used and has to go back to "conducti... | |
| Physical explanation of amp's break in? If I agree with Bomarc, would anyone be surprised? | |
| Room Treatments added, with negative effects.. Summitav, I owe a debt of gratitude to you for allowing me to understand the precedence "affect". I went to the Audio Physic's site and boy is my German rusty! Thank God I found a link to the US distributor's site were I learned the following abou... | |
| Room Treatments added, with negative effects.. Great to know that you have it all figured out Sumitav. Precedence effect notwithstanding, I maintain my position that anyone who does not believe that room acoustics is, to steal a line from our good friends at Ford, Job One, is sadly mistaken. Y... | |
| running wire in walls/floor I always wondered why when constructing a house or a sound room ABS piping can't be run in walls or between floor joists as a conduit for speaker cable, that way if you do think that speaker cables improve music reproduction and that upgrades can ... | |
| Room Treatments added, with negative effects.. The near field thing will never make proper room acoustics redundant. Headphones will do that. So unless you are prepared to attach your speakers to your head, no amount of near field mumbo jumbo will negate the need to have the best acoustics pos... | |
| Freqency response Good luck hearing anything in the neighbourhood of 40 KHz. It wont happen. Depending on age, you are lucky to hear anything above 12 KHz. A lot of audiophiles are in denial over this. I don't think they ever went to an audiologist for a test. One ... | |
| How does one get off the merry-go-round? My last post was written with a certain degree of levity in mind. Seems it didn't shine through though. People stateside (and elsewhere, I imagine) seem to forget all the good that the Catholic Church did over the years. I remember hearing not lon... | |
| Room Treatments added, with negative effects.. No, no, how could I be a contrarian? I never yes, I never say no, quite the contrary. |
