    T+A M40 HV Review

    Cheers to all, I fully endorse the comments relating to the sonic attributes, build quality and design philosophy of the T+A products. I have the PDP 3000 HV and it is an outstanding product, having compared it to a number of other similar components, whether all-in-one or separates.

    Love Is Always Better the Second Time Around: The Sanders Sound Systems 10e Hybrid Electrostatic Speaker

    Hello Tom, Congratulations for your new acquisition. As an owner of five pairs of electrostatic speakers ( none of them hybrid ) over the years, I fully concur with your described impressions. By the way, the microscopic and forensic detail of your posts are beyond belief!,,,,,You leave no...

    Does the Audiophile Community Have a Problem?

    I have two sets of STAX earphones with their respective amplifiers and three pairs of high-end dynamic headphones driven by the SPL Phonitor 2 High Voltage amplifier, used in parallel with my main speaker-based system. Both listening formats COMPLEMENT each other and one does NOT negate the...

    What Do We Mean By "Resolution"?

    This is but only one example of low level retrieval and, rightly so, very important to you just like it is for me, for the note is NOT complete until all of the minute elements that comprise it are manifested, i.e resolved by a transparent and highly resolving system. Any low level musical...

    What Do We Mean By "Resolution"?

    Hello Sebastian, In principle, I agree with your thoughts and you are absolutely correct in highlighting the importance of the listening space. Although the LEDE principle is usually applied in relatively small studios, it does not mean that domestic set-ups should not adhere to the...

    What Do We Mean By "Resolution"?

    Hello RJ, Thank you for your company, not to mention your "reserved" enthusiasm in expressing your spontaneous and heart-felt sentiments.

    What Do We Mean By "Resolution"?

    No one is beating people over the head with anything and it is not wordsmithing for the sake of power. This is your interpretation and a weak line of defence. I express my views in my own distinct way, respecting the English language as my step-mother tongue.

    What Do We Mean By "Resolution"?

    With due respect Graham, it's surprising that of all the people on this forum, you resort to such trivia. It's actually a boomerang....how often do you laboriously engage in making "nuanced", hair-splitting points?! Be well, Kostas.

    I suggest you raise the quality of your words NOT their toxicity level. Neither games nor judgements. Cheers.

    Magico M9

    I fully endorse the "brand" name ( Penfolds ) and the "model" ( Bin 389 ). As a "second" system, Bin 128 is equally rewarding!

    What Do We Mean By "Resolution"?

    You have a narrow perception of the word "ideology". Ideas will give you flexibility and a much more open mind; ideology clinches to dogma and is restrictive. By the way, I use an excellent Pass Labs amplifier and fully concur with your comments but Nelson is far from being dogmatic. He...

    Friday night listening

    Hello Carlos, Greeks ( and I assume others ) often say that having a wife, kids and a mortgage is the "full catastrophe"! Your set-up seems to be semi-catastrophic but this "semi-catastrophe" is also your salvation! Don't give up. Cheers, Kostas.

    What Do We Mean By "Resolution"?

    Actually, my questions were more or less rhetorical. That is the reason why "only the single note " can provide the answer. Is there really such a thing as a "more important question" in a subjectivist \ objectivist dichotomy? Your noise remover is my harmonics enhancer! Before we overcome...

    What Do We Mean By "Resolution"?

    I think you may have to qualify what you mean by "muck" and "artificially accurate". Your proclaimed achievements are also equally claimed by the "prosthetists" - those who pile on the tweaks and the game changers. How many claim musically "uplifting" results by cable lifters, others .....wait...

    What Do We Mean By "Resolution"?

    Raj, Do NOT be perturbed by comments that are wedged between insincerity and prevarications, tinged with insecurity and lack of substance! Cheers.
