| Audio Research discontinuing lower lines components? It’s a matter of priorities too. If good sound is important enough to you, you’ll find a way to get the money. Audiophilia has always been an exclusive club---the people who don’t care enough now wouldn’t have in the 70’s either. I had to sacrific... | |
| Neutral electronics are a farce... Those damn Yamaha NS10s are everywhere, and Auratones (!) are still around, to mix singles for Radio play (they sound like car speakers). I've been seeing Tannoys in studios lately, but never, ever, audiophile type loudspeakers. Pros use a complet... | |
| KUDOS to Music Direct Jed, if you're talking about the New Record Day review of the GR-modified Elac, know that he is talking about the "advanced" mod---there is also a "basic" one, much cheaper with most of the other's benefits. | |
| Upgraded banana plugs If you REALLY want the best, solder your speaker wire ends to the x/o in your speakers on one end, and the circuit board of your amp on the other. | |
| Neutral electronics are a farce... "Rich recording engineer"? You think recording engineers are rich?! I'll bet you think professional musicians are too. News flash: Most musicians live in abject poverty, making barely enough money for food and rent. Recording engineers make a mode... | |
| KUDOS to Music Direct jedinite24---Danny Richie at GR Research is offering a modestly priced replacement x/o for the Elac, which improves it's frequency response. For details and a discussion of it's merits (the speakers designer, Andrew Jones, participates in it), the... | |
| I am sick of Adele Excellent, Marty. Remember when Costello trashed Rondstat, whose version of one of his songs he detested. She was revered at the time, but he found her to sing his lyrics as if they had no meaning. To me, there are "pretty" voices, those of singer... | |
| Oregon Audiophiles... I'm about to find out about Portland, as I'm moving across the river from it in a week, to Vancouver Washington. I've visited Portland a lot, and know there are a few shops still open. Of those I've been in Echo only, and realize being in Southern... | |
| I've Noticed Lately That There's Threads About Being Noticed Lately Tomic601, ya beat me to it! | |
| How can it be that some old recordings sound sublime? In the 70’s I made some recordings of my Jump Blues/Swing band playing live, using a pair of omni condenser mics straight into a Revox A-77. No pre-amp, no mixer, no EQ, no compression, no limiting, no noise reduction---no nuthin’. Those recording... | |
| I have seen some Interesting comments about Mcintosh lately They sure made great tuners, didn't they? Not many companies have a Richard Modafferi designing for them. | |
| I notice a lot of reviewers buy the sample piece Arthur Salvatore has a lot to say on this subject on his Reference Components website. | |
| Best speakers for $3000 Magnepan 1.7i good, Eminent Technology LFT-8b "gooder"! | |
| Do you think audiophiles are the most gullible hobbyists Actually Andrew, it was Ned Beatty who was doing the squealing, not Burt. | |
| How can it be that some old recordings sound sublime? All the above I agree with. But I am struck by the assumption implicate in the question, that newer recordings should sound better than older ones. In many fields, newer is almost always NOT as good as older. In Vintage Drums for instance, the mos... |
