| If you have a nice system why do you really need room treatments? @mahgister Totally agree with you here. | |
| REAL MUSIC VS. SHOW MUSIC PERFORMANCE AT AUDIO SHOWS. PRESENTATION V. PERFORMANCE? WHY? Too many were playing meh music., at AXPONA. I have no idea what they were thinking | |
| Worst Speakers Ever?? To me the darling of the vintage set, RS Mach 1's were the worst. | |
| I see the issue with ABX blind testing This really explains it all. | |
| Are You a Swifty? @bluorion Same with me. People who have such negative reactions just don't have enough on their plates to do. Hence why I say 'Crusty Old Audiophiles' to people who have such negative reactions. Swift's music isn't written for them, it is written ... | |
| Lawrence Audio? No, just not sold in the US. Lawrence Audio is still made. 勞倫斯有限公司 (lawrenceaudio.com) | |
| Are You a Swifty? @simao There are plenty of older artists that don't speak to me either. That doesn't take away from what I said. Too many old crusty audiophiles judging music just like their parents did when they were young. It is hysterical reading this thread... | |

No issues with it at all. I have also used both single ended and balanced as the conne... | |
| Are You a Swifty? @simao Exactly. For many she speaks to them. To these old crusty ’audiophiles’ they don’t get it. They basically have turned in their parents (many of them are and grandparents). Evey generation does the same thing to the new music that comes out.... | |
| Gustard R26 ladder DAC sound signature - comments? @audphile1 My R26 is not dark. I know others who own the same unit. That is not their description of the sound. I suspect a faulty unit. Buying from Amazon can be a crap shoot as some resell products returned. I bought mine from Shenzhen audio dir... | |
| Some thoughts on ASR and the reviews @prefab I also never buy anything without research. I do it for it all. I have seen too many of my friends, get on the equipment treadmill. They buy on a whim and are disappointed. I have done this since I was a teenager. I was taught an educate... | |
| Benchmark Media Systems. Right or wrong There is more snake oil in the audio industry than about any other industry. Why? Because many audiophiles think music is special. When we listen, it engages our emotions and memories. Much of the hearing differences can be attributed to ’the plac... |
