Maybe amps really do something

[Warpdrv]

I saw a cool T-shirt at a BBQ store the other day. It read something like,

"Animals have their place. And it's right next to my mashed potatoes."

Love it.... PETA = People Eating Tasty Animals !!!!

Woot !!

PETA: People eating tasty animals

If animals weren't meant to be eat', they wouldn't be made out of meat.

True, and yet some people get all upset when cannibals get their snack on.

Wow...now that I have had a couple of drinks (for you Adam) and have the volume at a decent level, I can really tell a difference. Music is flat and boring, me needs an amp!

I feel Pure Direct coming on but I know it will blow a speaker and my dealer is mad at me!

The prodigal son has returned, and we welcome you back with open arms!

I was going to have a beer, but I fixed a cup of decaf coffee instead. I have a bit more work to do today before I can partake.

I don't really understand working over drinking.....

Me, neither, to be honest. Sometimes, though, my ethical side gets the better of me.

 

[Adam]

Well, I figured out the problem that I was having with my work project, so I just popped open a cold one. Still a bit more work to do, but that was a nice success.

Funny this post you started Dawg......

I pulled that Rotel out today to make sure you got it before I even got the check, as my good friend shouldn't have to wait, just the same kind of attitude you have towards others...

I hooked up my Studio's back up to my Pioneer receiver today, and my son didn't notice..... Straight out after about 20 mins, he came to me while I was cooking..... "Somethings wrong with the system" What do you mean....?

"There is no kick or punch to the sound, it sounds like cr@p.... I think there is something wrong.."

That put a smile on my face, knowing I have molded him into some appreciation of the intricacies of sonic quality... or is that more like - what have I done..??

 

[ParadigmDawg]

That's awesome Warp!

Make sure your Son gets a good job.....

Hahaha now why should he do that when he can just sit around and gobble up all of my throw aways when I upgrade as often as I do....

At any rate, its pretty funny how there was such a major SQ difference from the Rotel back to the reciever, after he had mentioned that and we finished dinner, I went and sat down with him as he was watching a movie and it was very clear to me that something was off. AS you said it sounded thin and not nearly expansive. Suddenly the sparkle was lost.

I am looking forward to getting my new amp, it really added another dimension to my other setup with the Sigs, but at the same time I also wonder how much better it will be when I replace my receivers with a dedicated PreAmp.... I can't seem to narrow it down to something that has everything just right...

 

[ParadigmDawg]

I have no idea who you are or what you are talking about. This is my first post on this forum and all the sudden you are acting like I bought an amp from you. Please do not continue to harrass me.......

And why is your dealer mad at you? I think that is the major question here.

Yes, the animal group

Does that apply to people too?
Maybe the next alien abductee will face that dilemma

Congrats Dawg on your new amp !!!

So we have a couple of guys on opposite ends of the country talking about how much better their amps sound over their rec'rs. Even though I personally haven't taken the time to even A/B test anything, I would love to see you guys make an attempt at DBT'ing this. I'm sure that you guys are satisfied that your observations are valid. It's just that I would love to see a view such as this one undergo a test and still stand.

The objectivists have their tests where large groups of people are used to prove their point. I would just like to see a case like this one with the amps, undergo a structured comparison 'by believers' that can hold it's ground with the barkings of the rabid objectivists.

The fact that the rabid DBT'ers are holding still for this is a real testament to how well you guys are liked around here. BTW, I could definitely hear a difference when I plugged my subwoofer in with a 'fictitious creature' subwoofer cable that had arrows on it. I have since come to believe that it's all in my head but I still use that cable.

No. Because they didn't like what they saw up there.
I'll PM you a picture.

Warp will have to test this for you. I don't like people so I am not inviting a lot over.
