| Does Anyone Else Have a Very Slow Connection to Audiogon? @unclewilbur People don’t capitalize, punctuate, use spaces, or follow any grammar at all. Thanks. I had to laugh at that and I needed the laugh this afternoon. I’m only laughing to keep from crying. Cursed are those helicopter parents who ... | |
| Does Anyone Else Have a Very Slow Connection to Audiogon? Thanks Guys. Guess I'm better off that some. My VPN blocks pop ups. With all the confirmation of others concerning this issue, I have to wonder if Audiogon isn't trying to rid themselves of these forums by making the experience unbearable? IMO &am... | |
| Concentration @rvpiano I think this "concentration" is a good part of the reason why many say that vinyl sounds better than digital. I'm included in that lot, but my analog system is much superior and should sound better. But vinyl, by its very nature, causes ... | |
| Darko nailed it. 12 examples of wishful thinking in the hi-fi community 9. Internet-based audiophile communities are mostly polite and convivial. All are valid but this one checks a box for me. I’ve been a mostly active member here& AA for 25 yrs. I used to enjoy it. But for the last 3 yrs I feel like I have a ... | |

| Warm sounding phono cartridge From what you have said, I'd have the cartridge itself checked. I once bought a brand new cartridge that just didn't sound right. It was sent back to the mfg and checked. It was bad. They sent me a new cartridge. New items can and do come out of... | |
| Warm sounding phono cartridge my well cared for and well recorded LP's sound excellent many of my albums now sound thin to me and noisy. Clicks and pops have been exacerbated to the point that I do not want to play some records even after a run through my Degritter ultrasonic... | |
| System advice +1 @akg_ca Have the Naim pieces had time enough to fully break in? If not,that may be the problem. If it has, then you have a synergy problem. It’s not a lack of wattage. 60 wpc is enough to power the speaker which are 90db efficient. The amp... | |
| WHY DO SOME AUDIOPHILES TRY TO TELL OTHERS WHAT THEY CAN OR CAN’T HEAR IN A SYSTEM? Dunning–Kruger Effect The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which people with limited competence in a particular domain overestimate their abilities. Here's the Simple description | |
| What would you save in a fire? (But to be serious, we will hopefully learn from this and stop hiring women to be firefighters who sleep with other woman who steal so much water there is none left for the hydrant. That’s what the smart people say out there. Also raking…) Misp... | |
