| Ugly vs Gogeous speakers I'm still chuckling over 'a gorgeous form of ugly'...There's a lot of that 'out there'...the MBLs' have been referred to 'alien fire hydrants'. and scrolling back through this thread there's been a lot slung at other units of various 'intent'...I... | |
| Ugly vs Gogeous speakers gdhal...that's the most apt comment posted so far. Congrats on cutting to the chase. ;) *5's* | |
| A few versus that connect you........what song is it? "Once a fool had a good part in the playIf it's so would I still be here todayIt's quite peculiar in a funny sort of wayThey think it's very funny everything I sayGet a load of him, he's so insaneYou better get your coat dearIt looks like rain..."... | |
| Any new turntable brands we should pay attention to ? Well, I'll pause and take the 'long view' rather than a *tsk*tsk* stance. If y'all wind the clock back, I'd wager your first turntables were pretty crude by the lofty standards we hold today. Much of your first systems likely matched them, and i... | |
| 2017 vs. 1990s - How far we have come *G* Hey, Eric....good luck with this thread. ;) I'm just going to sit back and watch....I agree with your original post...well, more or less. We've got our 'differences', but viva la', y'know? | |
| Craigslist transaction went south... ...and then there's the idiots 'out there' that don't know how to operate audio gear that's more complex than a clock radio. And even then, some clock radios' need the manual to make them work properly...Case in point: I've provided a 'shop ster... | |
| Ugly vs Gogeous speakers ...and one finds oneself at the 'aesthetics' of the reproducer of the sound we seek. Speakers as 'sculpture', when the 'object of desire' needs to fulfill not just the qualities of recreating the music we love. Since it's a focus of attention, o... | |
| Anyone Had Extended Listening Experience With MBL? I'm just happy to read some 'omni love' here....*S*One for dlcockrum, in the 'automotive' sense...Long ago, far away, I chanced upon a pristine Lotus Elite in a driveway. An OMG moment...I lingered, but refrained from leaving fingerprints on it o... | |
| What a scam!! Yes, 'vaguely political', but it just proves the point.... | |
| What a scam!! A simple test to apply: Ask anyone else if they think it's scam crunk or a slam dunk. Query someone who's NOT an 'audio person' and has no stake in the items' 'pedigree'.Healthy skepticism in any 'resale market' has become the order of the day. ... | |
| Are future improvements in Amp/PreAmps slowing to a crawl? Finally got around to reading the article....Y'know, I can agree with Mr. Pass. "The beauty lies in the differences'. That holds true for any and all of the components that we apply to stroke our personal preferences and situations; your tastes... | |
| $100,000 line stage "...and they're off and running!"Same horse race....different day. Have fun, y'all. *S* | |
| Are you seeing more 9/10s? Stories of this nature do smack of 'truthiness', as the seller hopes to recoup as much of his investment in the item in question. Buying a 'pre-owned' anything of late seems to require hi-rez photos of all surfaces and details in order to not fee... | |
| Is anyone thinking about building Walsh drivers? Have finally come up with a means of rolling cones accurately with a minimum of applied handling other than set up and adhering the seam. Another wish granted, a source and an order placed for 2 mil titanium foil. Ought to make my larger cones l... | |
| Not Enough Options for Auditioning Speakers The OP has a budget. I can relate. Here's how to winnow the chaff from the wheat, which ultimately is His Call. If you show up looking like a 'mark', you'll get treated as such. If you appear Serious, it'll at least put them on their toes. If... |
