Happy Holidays to all! Yogiboy, Just looked at your system. I've never heard the Quicksilvers or Harbeths but I own a VPI Mark IV with Graham arm and a Denon103. Your system and room look great and I'm guessing it sounds great too. Looking forward to receiving my copy of Birth of the Blue tomorrow. And to all a Good Night! |
Happy Festivus Everybody!! We are on line, so we will need to forego the "feats of strength" this year. My Festivus pole is up. (Insert crude remark here). Regarding the "airing of grievances", well...... That's up to you and yours. Cheers everyone. May you all actually find your end game system. At least until this time next year. |
Regarding forgoing the "feats of strength"--nonsense! Suggest we begin the competition to see who can lift the heaviest mono blocks! That is just the beginning. Then there is the speaker deadlift. And for those who haven't blown a lumbar disc, the finals might be...........well, you get it. As for the "airing of grievances" I think many of us have mastered that one quite well. Merry Christmas and Happy Festivus. |

Happy Holidaze from Asheville, NC....San Francisco East, replete with a faulty line down the middle... ;)) Let's keep the good cheers going into '25, we're much more fun than we sometimes let on..... Esp. @dekay ...the subtitles threw me for a moment...the singing didn't match them for me to realize they were singing in English.... Too much cheer too early? Naaaaaah....*L* @grislybutter ...we all wonder about each other around here, I suspect... ;) |
@asvjerry sometimes the less we know about some of us, the better. Stick to audio :) |
asvjerry: I/we just completed a French TV series that has English subtitles and after the first half of the first season it was as if the actors were speaking English (not French). My wife confirmed that she had the same impression (hearing/not reading English) when watching it. Perception can be weird.

@grislybutter .....Sticking to topics audio has a tendency to drift to some degrees in the forums ( self being guilty more than some, granted and the tolerance allowed appreciated ), towards which I can extend an amount of leeway and the time to either indulge or scroll on by.... Our audio pursuits' are both an intellectual and emotional indulgence that come through our posts; this sometimes allows a better comprehension of that posters' 'stance', simple to complex.... @dekay...Your perception observation is apt, as is the many ways it exhibits itself; a familiar song, Yes....but very different... The lyrics posted below....🤷♂️....at least one can recognize what an affen is... What we hear in a general sense is the same waveforms in varied spaces with our preferences as to the means employed enough to agree we're hearing the same song. Developed tastes as to what, how, and the perceived qualities of such ( the 'black' of the background, timbre, resolution, fade/decay, etc., ad infinitum as far as ones' concerns might go.... We can all agree on that we prefer to listen with the best means we have at hand. How another may listen to that with their perception preferences....? Therein lies the rub....even for the individual. I find that when I've been elsewhere for an extended period that my own gear may take me a day or so to re-acquaint self to that which I'd dialed it into, having been exposed to car audio, cell streaming into my aids, or next to nil.... Personally? I've arthritis in my neck; therefore, I'm my own pain in it. *G* It's a life....and one can scroll on to that which beckons... |
@thecarpathian I wonder if it would help my rubbery spine. I look like a walking question mark all the time, I could finally be the exclamation mark?! |
