| Do people tire of audio forums? What make me tire of forums is when a forum owner, or so called 'gort begins to believe that they need to intercede into everything and act in a superior manner. This happened on WBF and on Steve Hoffman. I cannot say I miss either of these forum... | |
| Budget Amp for Sonus Faber @asianatorizzle Your speakers are more than capable of delineating the differences between amps..and your other upstream gear. If you pair them with a marginal amp/preamp, or a marginal sounding integrated, they will sound like what your upstream... | |
| A blowing session???? @immatthewj Yes, technically the sax is in the woodwind family. Although this classification is simply because it uses a wood reed, but when was the last time anyone saw a wooden sax?? Almost all of the ones I know of are made of brass.Which is e... | |
| Budget Amp for Sonus Faber I am not sure I understand why anyone would spend the $$ for a speaker that is of the calibre of the SF G Traditions...and then want to hobble them with an amp and ancillary gear ( sitting on a table??) that simply does not do them any justice??? | |
| A blowing session???? @jafant Thanks for the suggestions. I have just about every OG Blue Note produced. So, i am familiar with these folks works. My OP was wondering more along the lines if the particular genre at the time...mostly Bop, was pretty much a ’blowing se... | |
| Suggestions for Giant Killer rca coax digital cable under $500 used Try a Audioquest Carbon. Fairly inexpensive and a great bang for the buck. Also, very well represented, so pretty easy to source. | |
| A blowing session???? @charles1dad I totally agree that each musician has their own interpretation and style. No question. Not really what I was getting at in my OP though. More along the lines of the overall impression that one gets with listening to the genre. So, i... | |
| Big speakers, are they really the best way to get great sound? 1st, no audio reproduction is perfect. I know my system is not perfect but my system is closest anyone can get in reproduction audio. @mihorn Your statement is a little presumptive, don’t you think? I heard your system at the last THE show; l... | |
| Big speakers, are they really the best way to get great sound? @mihorn You would not be hijacking my thread if your speakers are to be compared to much larger speakers. I do think videos on Youtube tells us next to nothing about the SQ of a system, although many folk seem to believe the opposite. | |
| Audio Research D-115 MkII OR pair of M-100s? OP, The question you ask is exactly what i looked into when I owned a D70Mk2. I was so impressed with this amp, that i was seriously interested in what the larger models would deliver. The M100's, and I think if in good shape ( which applies to ... | |
| Big speakers, are they really the best way to get great sound? I will compare to any audio system in the world. Please you show me any audio system’s live recording video sounds better than mine. Alex/Wavetouch audio Like phusis stated above, based on a video?? Even in a ’live room experience’, you cannot ... | |
| Big speakers, are they really the best way to get great sound? @unreceivedogma Your proviso makes sense. Room size and room tuning are important regardless of the size of the speaker. But it is indeed all relative. Which brings me to @phusis The point you seem to be making is that a big speaker can be made... | |
| Big speakers, are they really the best way to get great sound? @phusis I thought you did not care about speaker-room interaction because upstream you posted this:"brought on as the BS rationale of "fitting your speakers to the listening room size-wise." IMO, if you want to run too large a speaker into too ... | |
| Big speakers, are they really the best way to get great sound? Alex, while I agree that @phusis point about small speakers sounding small. strained and much less natural in a variety of listening spaces is a very wide and somewhat incorrect statement, I do think we have to be fair to him. Your speakers, and ... | |
| Jeff Rowland Aeries DAC comparison to current DACs IMO, some of the best DAC's from 10-15 years back can still be very worth while acquiring. I think the price asked is the general decider, since some of the DAC's like you mention can now be had for a fraction of their original price, making them ... |
