| Why Do So Many Audiophiles Reject Blind Testing Of Audio Components? If you want to learn this stuff the odds of running into someone like me who really does understand and can actually explain it are slim to none. This kind of renaissance man is a thing of the past because we have been sold the idea of the "Exper... | |
| Why Do So Many Audiophiles Reject Blind Testing Of Audio Components? BTW have you noticed that all of dletch2's posts have been removed ....at least from this thread. I didn't ask for it. Quite honestly I'm inclined to let people like him to continue to show themselves. If they don't self destruct they loose all c... | |
| Why Do So Many Audiophiles Reject Blind Testing Of Audio Components? @cleeds @penguinpower I think you are right about exposure. They may not even have what we would call a system. But i suspect they’re often young and maybe have some electronics exposure and want to impress everyone with their knowledge.They remi... | |
| Why Do So Many Audiophiles Reject Blind Testing Of Audio Components? @audition_ audioSo even when dletch2 does his informal blind tests, he only proves that in his system and at that moment his taste says that one component betters another. Indeed, what has been proven? It seems that some here want to get away from... | |
| Streaming - Total fail (rant) I hate to say "Ditto" but I will. I've had much of the same issues to the point that I had to back off for a while. Unit is nice and sounds good enough when I get it to function without trouble shooting. I have concluded that there are too many ha... | |
| recommendation for a high end analog system In the past, the hierarchy of importance in the vinyl chain was. table 1st, arm 2nd & cartridge 3rd. Atma-Sphere has stated that with his Triplanar could make a much less expensive cartridge sound better than an expensive cart on a lesser arm.... | |
| Streaming an aid to enjoyment I believe your problem is "expectations". You are listening to the equipment and do not relax into the music. You like the music more with the streamer because you allow yourself to relax. But you do not allow yourself to relax with the vinyl and ... | |
| Dedicated AC line - Contractor wants to use BX instead of romex @todd1010I see a lot of references to using 10/2 but for some reason I used 10/3 wire. What the differences?Did I chose wrong? No. You just bought one extra strand of wire that you don't need. That wire can be tied off and not used. Unless you ... | |
| Preamp/interconnects cause amp problems? Just because the dealer could not find anything does not mean there is no problem. case in point, I bought a used preamp which had been at the mfg's service center for an issue which was supposedly fixed. The seller had it shipped directly to me. ... | |

The intensity and emotion in the song "Pissin’ Down" is palpable. "High Road Easy" is a song that makes me move. being a drummer, its usually m... | |
| Amazon Turntable Owners: Where Do You Source Replacement Battery Packs BTW, Sorasound used to sell Amazon TT’s. He may be a good reference for info and maybe a manual, assuming you do not have one. Good luckAn addendum: I too am having some issues with getting up to steady speed. Takes too long. But I have had this... | |
| Amazon Turntable Owners: Where Do You Source Replacement Battery Packs I have a Teres tt which has a SLA battery. It uses a 12v 12ah battery. You need to get the right voltage and size. I would look up a source for a manual for the Amazon TT you have. If you have a charger and speed control unit like mine, the use of... | |
| When did you most enjoy the music? I still don’t pay attention to the equipment unless I am evaluating something. But I think you hit the mark with this:Maybe it’s something that can’t be recaptured, as it is with a lot of things of youth. Maybe it’s as simple as " Ignorance is bli... | |
| Lithuanian Tube Gear?! That's a good question @stringreen . The first one I thought of also. Decent looking gear but too much risk | |
