| Fear Inoculum in Vinyl To my ears, even a $1200 table w a $400 stylus surpasses a $5500 cd player in the form of more detail, accuracy of timbre and better tonality balance. Player dynamics has more to do with after the source. As far as "clicks and pops", unless there... | |
| Doge (China to USA) Tariff Life is short. Shorter than you think. At this stage, my happiness has more value than a mental wrestling match, in a similar instance, I would have had when younger. Depends on what you regard as the "good fight" I suppose. We are always subje... | |
| Improvement in Musicality for home theater system @ghdprentice Yeah, I fall into the "unmoved" toward music reproduction. Too much analytical mindset when listening considering my background in selling this stuff for 30 yrs. What "moves me" is more about note cord structure with me being a suc... | |
| The Belles Aria Signature Integrated Amplifier Gandalf, you still have your Belles sig? I may be a player. | |
| Improvement in Musicality for home theater system @ghdprentice So if "music" you hear thru an audio component begins to make you want to tap your feet, it is considered a "musical component"? I have heard music at weddings that didn't make me want to do that although the band was considered "... | |
| Improvement in Musicality for home theater system I’ve heard the word "musical" as it applies to audio equipment 7 billion times. I am still unsure of its meaning. "Very musical" means what and what makes a component that acts as a conduit for "music," a component that is not musical? | |
| Krell K-300i vs. other integrated amps under 10k @Dave and Troy In the early 2000’s and late 90’s, we carried Krell in our stores. They wowed some and fatigued us. They were what I’d call "pitchy" toward the upper octaves creating an unpleasant stridency. We were comparing them to some of the o... | |
| I heard a costly system from Esoteric. @ jackhifi Manufacturers often stretch the "dual mono" thing. The Esoteric makes the claim as do others, that because they separate sound boards and/or caps wired separately from the one transformer, it gives them the right to make the statement... | |
| Does carpet deaden the sound too much? Are these floor standers or book shelf on stands? | |
| Amir and Blind Testing Blind testing works for components that have a wider spread of differentiation. It works for "preferences" as in which spaghetti sauce do you like. You can tell that immediately. The trouble w extended listening is audio memory is the shortest me... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @slaw.. these are concrete reasons to me. I don't get it but I'm not built that way simply to communicate what my preferences are or what I'm doing at the moment to consider anything like that as "friendship". I never joined FaceBook either and i... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @mammothguy54. What did I say that was not nice? I asked a question and got an answer. My, ppl seem so sensitive here. Apparently this kind of info is useless to me but others seem to take gratification for whatever reasons. For me, more pertine... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Does anyone really care about what music is playing that anyone put on? I guess another human cry out pertinent to "I am'". | |
| No more "High End" for me...Back to Reality Audio I sold audio stuff for 30 yrs ending in 2001. When i retired, I brought home mostly Audio Research stuff because that was our lead sales component. In the last 10 years, I’ve tried to do an experiment with the cheapest components i could find and... | |
| King Crimson Heavens. All these years with thinking the band got wiped out in a plane crash. I still have "Court of Crimson" album and remembering to be so sad when i heard that news years ago. Dirty, rotten rumor? |
