Re: monitor power amps

2005-05-05 by Ioannis Kazlaris

I am certain that some people can hear some difference. I am also certain that some cables are ridicilously over-priced. And I am not talkiing about hearing the difference between a $0,5/inch cable and a $50/inch cable, between a 100$ amp and a 10,000 amp, between a toy-software-synth and a state-of-the-art modular. Almost everyone can hear this.

"Audiophile" amps. You know, the kind that people buy along with that cable
that sells for 50 bucks an inch and "you can sure hear the difference". LOL

me ok? after forty five years of music, believe me... i can't!!

Oh, you can hear the difference allright - there is no change jingling in
your pocket to interfere with the sound!

Just to be boring, I just use whatever old hi-fi amp I happen to have to
power my monitors. The stack includes Sony, Pioneer, Playmaster etc.
Buggered if I can tell the difference. As for the wire, I prefer the $50 a
roll type!
