| Psychologist dissects Pink Floyd's 'Dark Side of the Moon' @clearthinker OK you may be correct that they are "the most over-rated". Let me ask two things: Have you ever enjoyed listening to it? And how do you suppose DSOTM spent over 1000 weeks on the Billboard chart top selling 100 albums? Just curi... | |
| Ray Charles - "Rap is not music" Every generation feels the need to be more outrageous than the last just to get the attention they "deserve". I personally don't get rap and it seems to me to be more ethnically based than not. Can someone please explain the difference between r... | |
| DAC failure? @nevada_matt Just out of curiosity after you unplugged it and it cooled down have you tried it again? Regards, barts | |
| Fatal error @czarivey Not trying to explain anything to you, I thought it humorous that you posted a thread about a DB error, that's all! I too worked in IT for many decades, now retired. I applaud you for 30 yrs, I know how difficult it can be. First ... | |
| Fatal error What database? What console? They're not invisible...they're just unprintable so appear as blanks (which they are not). Regards, barts | |
| Proof of improvements in audio system sound quality.... @digitalviper I was only replying in kind to your very funny original post. No rudeness intended. I repeat: Post some pics of your system and your will get much farther "down the road" (pun intended) with some valuable responses. Regards, b... | |
| Proof of improvements in audio system sound quality.... @tonywinga Yes I watched about 10 minutes, will definitely finish it though. I'll bet it set "Audiophiledom" back about 20 years! LOL. Regards, barts | |
| Spikes on tower speakers My speakers are Hartley Reference, yes the one with the 24" woofers (each powered by ARC SS amps running as mono blocks in a tri-amp system). They weigh about 300 lbs each. I use teflon footers that are about 1.25" in diameter so that I can move... | |
| Proof of improvements in audio system sound quality.... @digitalviper Is that your Viper? If so, just wait until you can't drive it properly (Vipers are notoriously difficult) then sell it and buy a real HiFi system. Of course by then you probably won't be able to hear. What a conundrum! Okay if... | |
| Whittling down my choices to a final few pair... @cwolff09 My beloved bride and I are down to the last few pairs of speakers (I'm rolling the proverbial dice on all of these, going by Internet Opinions I'm a little confused: you and your wife came up with a short list of speakers that you a... | |
| Spikes on tower speakers How much do these Piega p4L MKll weigh that they don't go through the carpet! Anyway you stated you're not worried about the rug or the floor. GOOD! Get the speakers placed exactly where you want them. Get some cardboard (two pizza box tops wo... | |
| active crossover recommendation @sozocaps I use a Marchand Electronics XM44-3 Crossover. You chose the x-over points and the slopes. Those are plug and play modules, so you can change them. Mine is SS, but he also makes tube versions. You'll find his site very easily. Reg... | |
| Fantasy or reality? Inexpensive solid state preamps that get you 80% there? @hilde45 Hey there, Life is too short to worry about tube life, especially pre tubes. You mentioned that you have two "excellent" tube pre-amps. Why not consider selling the "lesser" of the two and add your $1k to the selling price and begin ... | |
| Do I buy an upscale TT? +1 @pennfootball71 That Kronos TT I heard at RMAF 2019 was unlike any analog I have ever had the pleasure to listen to. Completely incredible. Bonus was the designer was running it. Very approachable. Regards, barts | |
