| Has this happened to you? How can it be stopped? @mapman I have a 1917 Victrola which works great, it is a rather pedestrian model as in the horn is internal and has two front doors that the volume control. It is in beautiful condition and plays amazingly loud. I bought about 300 78s. Whene... | |
| Chord DAVE DAC @jackhifiguy At this point I don't believe that there is any category of equipment that is "end game" at a purely technical level. It may be "end game" to you though. Point is I would think long and hard about dropping $14k on a DAC. If there... | |
| MoFi controversy @tomcy6 "In order to be transparent (very important in this discussion),, I have learned that Chad Kassem, owner of Analogue Productions, only does reissues of albums that he can get the master tapes for at his facilities." You are correct in t... | |
| Billie or Ella? Maria or Renata? Technique or feeling? @edcyn Thanks for the compliment...but don't be that impressed...it what was presented to me by happenstance of location. Here's a few more for ya: Saw the original cast of "Hair" on B'way, was outstanding nudity and all. Allman Bros at the C... | |
| Go get out your pitchforks, I’ve done a sacrilegious thing. . . @last_lemming The naysayers kinda crack me up. I mean ALL of the music you listen to and love is EQ’d (also there is no Easter Bunny). As long as you can’t hear the difference in bypass mode then by all means EQ to your hearts content. Regards... | |
| Newbie seller @brunomarcs I too have purchased audio by writing a personal check. After talking on the phone with the seller and receiving several other pictures at my request. He was sort of amazed that I would send a check. And at the same time possibly ... | |
| Billie or Ella? Maria or Renata? Technique or feeling? I'm a little late to the party...but The Ella "songbooks" are simply outstanding. She is so polished and oh the ease of her singing is enthralling to me. I saw her at Radio City Musical Hall and she was one of the few artists that had the audien... | |

| The Best Speakers in the World! In '76 and in Japan I purchased two pair of Bose 901 Series II, if you recall four channel was all the rage. Also got a Teac A-3340-S (4 channel) and two Sansui AU-20000(s) @ 170 watts a channel. Well, 680 watts into the Bose back in the day sou... | |
| Have you ever solved a high end audio issue using non-audio technology? Or, visa versa? @clearthinker What @ronboco said. I've sat and listened in that very room and it is excellent @hilde45 Regards, barts | |

| The new dynamic in speaker pricing +1 @deludedaudiophile Also makes me wonder what kind of insane "entertainment" system is built into the mega-yachts of ultra wealthy. Regards, barts | |
| The new dynamic in speaker pricing @jl35 The thing about Ferraris is that unless you belong to a track club there is really no where to stretch them out. It's an acquired taste that crazy need for speed is! I've driven enough Ferraris and Lambos in my day, fantastic cars, just g... | |
| The new dynamic in speaker pricing @kenjit True...but it would only take a CD player plugged into the PA to cure that. Regards, barts | |
| The new dynamic in speaker pricing Friends and family thought I was nuts to buy $10,000 speakers in 1980. Yes, I still have them and still think it was totally worth it. That's a tad over $35k in 2022 dollars. Regards, barts |
