| Best tube amp for electrostatic speakers Perhaps I'm being naive, so forgive me for asking, but have you ever tried the same procedure you describe on another system? If not, you could perhaps narrow down your problem even further.I should mention though, that I presupposed, when writing... | |
| What is Musicality? Learsfool,Yes of course. I do not discount what you point out. As in all art, in poetry, in painting, and in music, which we talk about here, there can be emotion transmitted from artist to recipient. What fascinates me is, that the medium of tran... | |
| What is Musicality? Frogman, with all due respect and fully agreeing with the distinction you make between perceived emotion and emotion that is felt as well as apologies for being a nitpicking old curmudgeon, I still insist, that emotion is NOT in the music. It may ... | |
| What is Musicality? HUH? You just said something, but it ain't musical. I must be deaf. | |
| What is Musicality? Here's a piece, which perhaps at least in parts of it, also covers what we try to discuss here. http://www.performancerecordings.com/capturing-music.html | |
| What is Musicality? I think Mapman is right, when he says, that it is impossible to quantify musicality. That is also the reason that psychology generally shies away from this problem.Learsfool, I think, makes several excellent points, although I disagree, that "emot... | |
| What is Musicality? Sabai,thank you for your kind words. Pandora's Box indeed, judging from some of the remarks here. There is no society on earth without some kind of music. In the old Chinese dynastes there were of the opinion, that if the music was "good", the sta... | |
| What is Musicality? For 14.99 they're a steal! They even have a chain to fix to your system, so the cat can't mess with them. | |
| What is Musicality? By the way, I brought up the same question about a decade ago with a lot of very thoughtful replies to my thread.Here is one, which I consider one of the most thought provoking and certainly should be recalled here:04-28-01: OzflyDetlof, this has ... | |
| Best tube amp for electrostatic speakers Broadstone,I only saw Atmaphere's post now and I cannot emphasize enough to read his post carefully and to follow his advice. He is an expert and he knwows what he is talking about.Here you have knowledge and experience versus just opinions and pr... | |
| Best tube amp for electrostatic speakers After all is said and done, I would follow Zd's advice. Regretably I have no experience with your amplification, so anything I might further say, would only be a wild guess.Please let us know, when and how you resolved your problem and happy liste... | |
| Best tube amp for electrostatic speakers Broadstone,Thanks, I now understand better I think. I do have another question though. With piano at the higher register does the sound just become harsh or does it also break up, slightly distort? From what you say, the latter does not seem to be... | |
| Best tube amp for electrostatic speakers Boadstone,Please tell us more: Does this brightness you describe, occur at every soundlevel from ppp to fff and when listening to music, which instrument or voice tends to irritate you the most, when you are listening to what music at what sound l... | |
| I Just Know It's BS ... But I Have't Tried It Yet Mapman, contrary to the one before yours, I would call your response an evenhanded approach to the problem we are discussing here. I tend to be very much on Sabai's side in viewing the problem, to whit, to be curious, to experiment, but to discoun... | |
| I Just Know It's BS ... But I Have't Tried It Yet Sorry. I think I was unclear: I meant critical listening, not listening for pleasure. But then if the music lover becomes an audiophile, critical listening always creeps in and often enough spoils all the fun........... |
