In Reply to: By replacing the VTL's with your (or a different) amp(s) posted by Russ57 on December 21, 2006 at 10:41:51:
To audition his or any other amp, I need to bring my own along?
So this is how you and all the other subjectivists audition amplifiers? You bring your own amp along? Why have I never heard of this method before? Why did E-Stat not tell me to do so? Did it slip his mind? BYOM means Bring Your Own Amp? I thought he mean *M*usic, or specifically, recordings which I am familiar with. How does *M* stand for Amp?
So all the reviewers and folks who attend audio shows and go to hi-end stores and talk about how they hear this amplifier and that amplifier and how great they sounded - all took their own amps along?
And all forgot to mention this?
Why did TB54 never mention anything about bringing an amp with me to audition his Mastersound? Did he forget too?Ru57 - Frankly based simply on that list I would automatically assume his amps are "good"
They didn't teach that sort of logic in Engineering school when I attended. I wouldn't assume so.
Ru57 - Of course all of those things contribute to sound.
I wouldn't assume that either. But lets assume that this is true shall we. *ALL* contribute to the sound. I subtract the VTLs and add Amp X.
I hear better sound. Is my amp better sounding? Or does my amp "synergize" better with all the other sound contributing parts?I hear worse sound. Is my amp worse sounding? Or does my amp "synergize" worse with all the other sound contributing parts?
Perhaps it doesn't play well with a particular power cord upstream. Or maybe its allergic to fake plastic plants? Can't my amp still be better sounding, but just worse with this particular brew of contributing sound thingamagigs?I hear no difference. The system lacks the necessary resolution. I'm deaf or simply lack the proper ear/brain training that comes from seeing different components (even though I listen to and have listened to plenty of live unamplified/amplified music as stated before). I lack self-confidence in my aural perceptive abilities (one of my faves).
The amps sound no or too subtle different (an obvious impossibility since they look so different/cost so different).I guess I just don't have good enough hearing to block out the nineteen or so sound contributors and isolate the sound of an amp
when all twenty are playing at once. I'll keep your listening by subtraction method handy next time I consider "hearing" an amp.
BTW, do you know how freakin' heavy my QSC amp is? I guess I'll need something a bit lighter to tote when I head for a hi-end show/store.
Thanks for the info.cheers,
AJ
