| Steely Dan Aja cover @sls141 , down with that...👍 Goin' with the flow makes sense until the roar of the ever eventual waterfall is finally comprehended....Then the excrement that's buried the fan becomes the priority...... "When it all stops making sense, that's whe... | |
| Steely Dan Aja cover @sls141 ...I've woke up late to movies playing and had a similar response... A better one (kinda) is spouse 'n I on a long charter bus trip with the AV playing chinese 'soap operas' with no subtitles (predominately Asian riders onboard).... Made... | |
| Did your system getting better the more money you spent or more experience you gained? Mmmm, by situation I've had to make the latter work harder later on; but have gained such that I can make the $'s work better when I opt to do so. If I had more of the former, I could make better choices. Not necessarily Super SOTA, mind you....... | |
| Did your system getting better the more money you spent or more experience you gained? @mapman ....+10 to the tenteenth....*G* ;) Experience can make one either 'discriminating'.....or severely jaundiced.... *LOL* | |
| Eliminated my preamp with amazing results Tired, Yes. Swayed? No. | |
| Eliminated my preamp with amazing results ...and yet, one can take the stance that the least amount of 'inference' (as opposed to 'interference') between source and ears is preferable....🙄 "This is likely one of the ways 'tail-eating universes' are formed...." I'm so tired of irresistib... | |
| New Phono Cart with Character Needed "Forward! Into the Past!" 🤦♂️ ;) I got spoilt by a MC cart long ago.....about as long as seeing 'MI' to describe a cart.... As for what's available....runs the same gambit as choice of speakers....which intimates listening to the umpteenth pow... | |
| Steely Dan Aja cover I never 'saw' a flag....or even the hint of it....mea culpa... A very stylish bit of photo work for an outstanding album....later, spouses' penchant for watching 'dress design competition programs on the 'screem' drove one to wish 'high fashion' ... | |
| Why is selling used stereo equipment involve people from the sales platform? In an age of ring lights and cells that can take an image where an older SLR would need a tripod, a long exposure, and an even longer wait for the pic in ones' hands...? Agreed, a pic of a serial # is bit of a stretch...but some shots look like h... | |
| Eliminated my preamp with amazing results Been 'no pre' for quite awhile now.....haven't missed it | |
| Speakers - Your "Safest" Choice Absolutely nothing practical about this.... ...but, being said....... Anything conceived and created by the sale of LSD in crowd-level quantities... Define ’practical’....;) (Actually, the 1/4 version is kinda cute...*G*) | |
| Using PA Speakers In A Home "Audiophile" Application! @toddalin ...Mho, the 18" JBLs' 'do' sub substitutes nicely....all in the xovers....and, of course, the power behind them...;) It still amuses me that Mazda used That song behind a commercial....either wry sly humor or 'questionable taste' in tha... | |

Better... ;) Smashing Pumpkins? You couldn’t hear the person next to you SHOUTING. Leo Kottke? Great, thanks. ...and w... | |
| It's attention, not money, we should budget Over the long haul (and it has been), the old 3-thirds (speakers, amplification (pre & power or integrated), sources) has more or less held true in my experience of 55ish years.... This is taking into account new, used, diy with very little '... | |
| What is meant exactly by the description 'more musical'? @immatthewj ....*Whew*G* 'On the other note' ultimately is a preferable condition...;) And cueing up would be...problematic...at best.
