| un-becoming an audiophile I have come to the conclusion that I am never going to be an “audiophile” in the sense that many others on this forum are. I set a budget of “good enough . . . certainly better than anything I’ve ever had before”. I’m not going to keep auditioni... | |
| Anyone who owns a Technics SU-R1000, can you answer a quick question @jsqt: Thanks for describing your solution, as that might help others having a similar problem. Your Technics look sweet — enjoy! | |
| Looking for good recordings of female vocals I have not yet tried... I have enjoyed Italian singer, Laura Pausini. | |
| Is blasphemous Music ok? I leave it to the individual — Do you like such music? If so, enjoy. It’s not my preference, so I don’t. As the saying goes, “Vote with your dollar”. If enough people buy the music, more will be made; if few buy it, it will be hard to find. | |
| Where do you want your system to go when you go? I have the same problem as a lot of you. I don’t know that anyone will care. My sons like music but likely think a good Bluetooth speaker connected to Spotify on their phone is as good as it gets. I know that my sons and a nephew are going to h... | |
| What I really hate about some music The Yes, some really good examples of annoying music. One that realky an wl women seem to like, is Billy Ray Cyrus’ “Achy Breaky Heart”. I only heart it sometimes on radio and it irks me every time. Talk about lazy song-writing! Then there is Mic... | |
| Why Is Hi Fi Gear So Darn Expensive? My own approach, to anything and not just hifi gear, is to start with a budget and then decide how much of that budgeted amount to spend on components. I have long heard that speakers are so important that one should spend half of the budget on t... | |
| Was my friend given misinformation. @uncledemp +1 | |
| Cd transport I have an Audiolab 6000cdt and a Parasound P5. I wanted to try tubes so bought a Schiit Freya+ preamp and still use the P5 for other things. Sounds good to me. | |
| Life of KT 150 Tubes I am a novice and know nothing about this (hasn’t stopped me before), but I have an idea. As several members commenting here seem to know a lot about testing electronics, including tubes, perhaps one or more of them could offer to check out OP’s ... | |
| I am so happy..... SNS expressed some of what I think about regarding this: Each of us hears differently and have different preferences. While I like bass, some of my younger friends go overboard, in my opinion. They think my systems lack Ooomp! that their systems... | |
| Does Anyone Buy Schiit for the Sake of Schiit? Everything in my life is a compromise and “good enough”. I don’t have the house with the room to do justice to outrageously good equipment, and I don’t have the income to afford outrageous equipment. It doesn’t make sense to me to pay $10,000 for ... | |
| American Made Audio Products @dinov Nice resource to have and I saved the site for future reference. 👍🏻 | |
| Schitt freya preamp hum- how do I get rid of this? Same here — no problems with my Freya+ | |
| Eric Clapton reveals this week of his declining health Sorry to hear about Mr. Clapton. He isn’t one of my favorite artists . . his music is played so much all over and everyone lauds him like a God. His voice irks me somehow. I wish him all the best regardless. |
