| How much money do you want to waste? Yes, Viggen, people screen their world thorough a lens of subjective interpretation. Kant told us this many moons ago and Kuhn showed us how it even applies to the subjective lens of a scientist conducting scientific method (favoring confirmation ... | |
| How much money do you want to waste? Oh yea, for those of you who just HATE this kind of talk, I will, on your behalf, rename this thread, "How much time do you want to waste?" :) | |
| How much money do you want to waste? My point - without saying it - was that you, Viggen, mistated my argument. Thank you for your reasoned response. Yes, there is a relationship between the open-ness advocated in eastern philosophies and the receptivity, "letting go" to objective at... | |
| How much money do you want to waste? Note: There is a difference between the validity of objective evidence - the continuum of "technology" from Homo habilis, reaching for a bone and rearranging its matter by carving, to the rearrangement of silicon, etc on a computer chip - and the ... | |
| Has anyone else ever reached an audio impasse? For the record, I "helped" Bwhite a bit in his system building - although, to be quite honest, I doubt he needs much help (he just doesn't know it yet...) - so I have more than a passing interest here. Bryan, how did the CJ pre that I suggested fo... | |
| How much money do you want to waste? Maui wowie, actually ;) | |
| Why do no audio enthusiasts use McIntosh? Well, most people on this site do, in fact, listen to music for extended periods. As for your coincidence, it is not. Third, you should not compare old mac to new, for numerous reasons, mostly having to do with musicality relative to the competion... | |
| switching from Tubes to SS No current SS amp sounds like the best tube amps in spatial qualities - and if you've got Pro Acs and run the Hydra why would you want less in that regard, unless strict convenience was your predominant concern (which doesn't sound like that's the... | |
| How much money do you want to waste? If I put a watch into the ground, in a thousand years it may be "priceless." I have a beer can at home that is "worth" $5K. Is it worth it to me? Yes. To my girlfriend? No, she thinks its insane. Now, here's the interesting thing: in all technolog... | |
| Need help with cable mess You are counter-balancing and have, predictably, lost track. It may cost you, but if you want out of the cycle, here's what I'd do:1. BMI PC's instead of Absolutes (@350 new)2. NBS Sig II or better IC for Cardas & Harmonix ($550 used ea.)3. By... | |
| What Power Cord for Tubed Preamp Electraglide copper ribbon basic PC used at $200, then $150 on the NOS tubes, then forget about audio. Nice little system, by the way. | |
| How much money do you want to waste? Alan, when you make conclusions, you must state reasons for your conclusions and, specifically, which conclusions you are referring to. It is important that when you reject something - and claim that the arguments made are insufficient - that you ... | |
| How much money do you want to waste? Excellent point, Mvwine. Looking to objective evidence does not make you an objectivist; the attachment to the assumption that objective observations are the only way to validly derive truth makes you an objectivist. Interestingly, it are not only... | |
| How much money do you want to waste? Yea, admittedly we subjectivists have our own little buttons. FYI: CK sent me a gratious message. Now, THAT's the self-esteem that makes dialogue possible and FUN (!). Boy, is it refreshing. Dialogue, while pointed and confident in its given posit... | |
| How much money do you want to waste? I hate to do this, but lets get straight on this relative price argument that objectivists are always using to bolster, inauthentically, their arguments. In each of these arguments we always see the phrase, "its over-priced" (and then they say, be... |
