| Check this out, if you already haven't. We all have our own afflictions...the only part I don't get is the many multiples of the same piece. Now I feel less conflicted about my own afflictions. Regards, barts | |
| What are we objectivists missing? First of all, we are not listening to a cable, we are listening to a system, our system, which most people here know the sound of intimately. Here's a test: How about you record your system playing real music at say 1 meter using "perfect" micro... | |
| Politics and Music Sting whom I admire greatly wrote quite a few political tunes. I typically prefer instrumentals as I can create my own story in my tiny brain. Regards, barts | |
| DAC recommendation in 5 to 10K range OP, I can understand wanting to go to a balanced output DAC, but I have to ask what the DAC is plugged into? Maybe your upgrade lies in the pre-amp? Regards, barts | |
| A perfect song? What are your choices? Maria - original B'way cast. Leonard Bernstein and Stephen Sondheim Fill 'er up - Sting (several wonderful transitions) | |

| Soundstage and image height, does it exist? As many of you know the visual center of your brain uses a ton of "CPU cycles" to recreate what we perceive as our own reality. When you take that processing load off your brain as a matter of course it uses whatever input is left and draws on pa... | |
| Soundstage and image height, does it exist? In my 50+ years of playing this "game" I have found that there certainly is height information that is being processed by your brain, albeit a phantom, as is the center channel. Moreover, to my ears this is very recording dependent, acoustic guit... | |

| Concerning high end audio names in new cars Back in the day we were very happy with an 8 track head unit and a pair of 6x9s mounted on the rear deck. Fond memories. @jbhiller One of my buddies brother is a sound engineer and works for a year on a design cycle for a vehicle sound system. So... | |
| Albums you do not get...a plea for help and understanding Jersey boy here and I think that Springsteen is a hack. Went to one concert of his back in the day and I will say they played their butts off. I'm a firm believer (right or wrong) that most people like the music they heard in their formative yea... | |
| Constructing songs Destruction and construction... Pretenders - OHIO Regards, barts | |
| How important is spending time with your gear? I very much enjoy looking at my gear while listening to music. The system is on its own (ground) floor so there is no issue with wires or WAF for that matter. It's my room and I do as I please in it. I keep it nice and tidy/clean. BTW my darlin... | |

| Best audiophile earwax removal system? I have suffered for years with excessive ear wax! The best method I have found is a 50/50 mix of the hottest water you can stand, with 70% Hydrogen Peroxide. @boostedis The solution your suggesting ends up as a 35% solution of Hydrogen Peroxi... |
