| Are all Audiophiles masocists? Mahgister...*L* Thanks for the confidence there....but, after 40+ yrs., one develops certain 'auto-self preservation routines', at least in regard to sudden chills of atmosphere and dark silence....Likened to the hint of ozone before lightning st... | |
| Is something wrong with my hearing? One is typically shocked to find that the 'onboard eq' has taken precedent over anything exterior....the older we get, the more we're misinterpreting the things we seek. ......and, if you're on a par with my age, it can be done for free or nearly ... | |
| Are all Audiophiles masocists? @isochronism ....."... the only thing good enough that I can't upgrade is you."Not knowing the spouse receiving that....could be hazardous to one's health in ways unknown to us...🤔I stay far far away of any 'Dear Abby' martial commentary....if, ... | |

| Does the first reflection point actually matter?? We exist in a universe of waves...beginning with the subatomic, density and type variants all....It just 'thins out' the further off we rise from what we percieve as solid ground.And we're just another version of it, making waves of our own."What ... | |
| For anyone who moved from tubes to solid state — a question ...and then there's the paradigms of amp choice and the speakers it drives....There's been a lot of waxing wonderous of 'this' driving 'that'...and it generally is tied to the tube v. silica...which, is really actually rather special, imo..The SET... | |
| How much space between cables is enough? @pinwa, good calls imho....The r-bar chairs could be hot glued onto a strip of wood, spray the thing to match the floor. Fab spaced as needed, spaced as desired...Cheap seats.....pardon d pun....;)Better: EVA 'twist chair & wood....*S* EVA ... | |

| For anyone who moved from tubes to solid state — a question "Made in China". OMG! *L* Yes, that would launch an entirely separate line of 'discussion'....It sometimes seems like anything audio that hails from 'the Far East' (to use an old romantic phrase) is suspicious, as the Chinese are born without ea... | |
| For anyone who moved from tubes to solid state — a question I grew up with tubes. Enjoyed them while that lasted...SS ’occurred’...initially, laughable. But the technology grew to a level of maturity that first matched, then blew past ’valves’ and their inherint weakness. "Rolling tubes" ought to be a clue... | |
| What other hobby... oh.....another 'hobby' is to break unstated rules of behaviour.If you're going to 'talk hobby', show some excitement about it.Otherwise, it seems you're refering to changing the TP roll..."...we tried some Charmin the other day....we all turned bl... | |
