| I'm here for the sharing, not the snobery I dont recall anyone ever stating that they equate the money they spent as a determination of their status as an audio enthusiast. But I think it fair to assume that more money well spent leads to significant system improvements and increased enjo... | |
| Wilson Audio Specialties Chronosonic XVX loudspeaker!! only $300,000.oo edgewound,So how does one flaunt their wealth? Give me the exact dollar amount when flaunting begins with: cars, houses, clothes and stereo systems? Assume that this imaginary rich person is worth 100 million. How, exactly, should they spend the m... | |
| Wilson Audio Specialties Chronosonic XVX loudspeaker!! only $300,000.oo In this case I would agree with you that this doesnt seem like a good value, but who am I to say. I know what I think the LP12 is worth, not so sure I can put a value on the Scotch. | |
| Wilson Audio Specialties Chronosonic XVX loudspeaker!! only $300,000.oo Who is making assumptions? You assume I have a lack of character because I object to the notion that all wealthy people flaunt their wealth. Is flaunting wealth is some great sin? The richest people I know, granted I live in the Midwest, do not ha... | |
| True or False? Getting the room right should be a very early step. However, with every improvement all subsequent changes are magnified as the system gets better. | |
| Wilson Audio Specialties Chronosonic XVX loudspeaker!! only $300,000.oo So it is a sign of good character and self esteem to worry about the appearances? I see it as fashion. Not all those who are wealthy are trust funders. Of course you see it as positive because you believe in the narrative and you see the accumulat... | |
| Stereophile's 2021 products of the year And the influence of the mags is exactly why you shouldnt take them seriously. If a mature hobbyist doesnt outgrow the various pubs within a few years then they are doing something wrong. How boring it is to have to read between the lines to get t... | |
| True or False? The first thing to understand is that different is not always better and often time is required to really determine the worth of a change. Another important point is that "always" or "never" coming out of an enthusiast's mouth pretty much excludes... | |
| What do we hear when we change the direction of a wire? alexberger,Yes what you said about tubes! Do you think this linearity can be measured cause it sure can be heard in many circuits. Complex designs can often measure well but it is real trick to get them to sound as good as a simple design with or ... | |
| Wilson Audio Specialties Chronosonic XVX loudspeaker!! only $300,000.oo Man there are there really stupid generalizations above. Generalizing about the upper economic strata is just a form of social racism. Acceptable and allowed but no more ridiculous than any number of generalizations that I could make about the poo... | |
| Why Do So Many Audiophiles Reject Blind Testing Of Audio Components? Passion driven undertakings are no more or less prone to real answers than purely intellectual undertakings. You are making a meaningless comparison because no "best" exists when it comes to most of the pursuits driven by our senses. There are no ... | |
| What do we hear when we change the direction of a wire? And find a SS DAC that can do some of the things that arent measurable that make a tube DAC often sound better. Compare the number of tube DACs to the number of pure S.S. DACs. Compare what a single tube can do and then compare this with the amoun... | |
| Why Do So Many Audiophiles Reject Blind Testing Of Audio Components? What they think they hear is the same as what they hear! dletch2,You are in no position to make this judgement. This is my whole point. Just because you seem to find solace in double blind tests doesnt mean that our observations without are any le... | |
| Why Do So Many Audiophiles Reject Blind Testing Of Audio Components? Well after you buy something what you choose to do is up the the individual and I feel it no more likely with an expensive product than a cheaper one. We see clues of this everywhere on this forum with suggestions that a Magnaplanar or horn speake... | |
| What do we hear when we change the direction of a wire? dletch2,Sure I am all of these things but seriously, which one should I buy? |
