| What Percentage Off Would You Expect to Discount For Open Box Amp with Blemish Wow! I don't know whether to take most of these seriously. Then too, I tend to think that some offers are an insult which seems to go against the grain here too. FWIW the amp is a S'phile class A. I can't imagine them giving 40% off. I was thinkin... | |

| I Think I Am Becoming An Audiophile Audiophile is a cruddy word! There is nothing wrong with the term "Audiophile". The problem is how it has been corrupted! IE, If I went to a racing forum, I would not consider myself a racer just because I drive a car. In the same vain, If I went... | |
| I Think I Am Becoming An Audiophile @jbrrp1 I hope you are not faced with such! No I am not. My wife is pretty reasonable. Both of us are pretty frugal but I spend more because I can always justify it & I have more hobbies. I'm trying to justify a new amp now, even though ... | |
| Graphene for audio @gill_92 Thanks for the follow up.. Curiosity is a great learning tool. You have satisfied mine.... for this | |
| I Think I Am Becoming An Audiophile @edcynYes, there are a lot of London ffrr & ffss some Treasury Series. Not too many HMV. Lot of DG & Philips. Quite a few box sets too. I looked up the 2 that you recommended but don't have them.@ericsch I have been doing just that. I enj... | |
| I Think I Am Becoming An Audiophile @edcyn Wait'll you get to opera,I have 100-200 from a college library. I rescued about 8-900 albums about 15 yrs ago of which they were a part. I'm sure there are some really good stuff in them. Most of them are imports. All NM. I play some of ... | |
| Tung-Sol 7581A......Wow!! I think I learned of my midrange "disdain"(?) in the 70’s when Graphic equalizers were the "in" thing. I always made a nice smiley with the 5 band. I couldn’t imagine the mid above the 0 (neutral). I really like a good bass line and then too, p... | |
| I Think I Am Becoming An Audiophile @oregonpapa are we becoming "audiophiles," or are we becoming "music lovers" I've always felt like a music lover but not an audiophile. For one, I don't change out my equipment enough to qualify. I'm not sure I even knew the word "audiophile til... | |
| Tung-Sol 7581A......Wow!! OK, I'm here to cap off this mini review of the Tung-Sol 7581A. Though a roller coaster ride prior to being run in, these are well balanced tubes. If there is a frequency range which dominates the other, it may be the midrange though both high &a... | |
| Graphene for audio One takeaway is that the Graphene DID make a difference, though for the worse. It flies in the face of those who call it voodoo. Another thought, I wonder what might happen if you had left it there longer? | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report Music for making soup by this morningBachman Turner Overdrive - BTO 1st albumShemeka Copeland - "Wicked". She has a very good backing band . Love the harmonica on the opener "It's 2 am" | |
| Religious music for less than devout @slaw Regarding Kerry Livgren, you can't let what one person's interpretation of anything, conflict with your own. There have been others to make similar comments. | |
| Audiophile Albums....Yes indeed @best-groovethe "search" function has existed for a long time so as not to make mistakesYer statement is more ridiculous than saying water is wet. No one searches for a statement which has been made prior, before posting a statement. If they did,... | |
| Religious music for less than devout @n800My favorite Led Zeppelin song is In My Time of Dying Indeed mine too. I have it in an early will to have it played at my funeral. Also a John Bonham protege, its one of my favorite songs of theirs to play. I remember Resurrection Band, later... |
