| Am I right for this forum? A very complex question disguised as a simple query. Makes me wonder whether the 'audiophile club' has an entrance fee. If so, exactly what amount of money spent on audio equipment is necessary to become part of the club? Is there an absolute numb... | |
| Brand New Vinyl Static and Pops Check out the current zerostat discussion. It is like a gun. One depresses then releases a trigger slowly and it dispells static charge. Basically lasts forever. I think it’s good to keep the humidity in your house above 40%. Since the problem st... | |
| Found a Milty Zerostat alternative What a great investment my zerostat has been! Still efficiently removing static 43 years later. Pressing and releasing it slowly so as not to hear any clicks has always been the way I’ve done it and I believe the way that was originally recommende... | |
| Are You a Swifty? Definitely! Saw her in Philly with friends and family and loved it. I own most of her albums on vinyl and four on CD. I have pre-ordered her latest. I love how her music helps bridge the gap between me and my Gen Z relatives and friends. | |
| Aggrivated tinnitus from speakers? One thing I’d like to mention for those suffering from tinnitus is there are some medications that can aggravate or even cause the condition. I was using Prilosec for GERD. Also started to have tinnitus. The connection wasn’t clear to me for many ... | |
| Aggrivated tinnitus from speakers? You made a mistake when you bought the speakers. As you know. You were thinking proactively about you tinnitus but the sale made you forget all about it. According to the data I see, the response is flat in the listening window between 3 and 10k w... | |
| Pictures at an Exhibition If you like progressive rock, there's the Emerson, Lake and Palmer version. A three man band but Keith Emerson will give you something approaching an orchestral version with his virtuoso keyboard playing. | |
| Real or Surreal. Do you throw accuracy out the window for "better" sound? So all the craftsmanship of Fleetwood Mac has been lost to the millions of people who have bought their albums, CDs, and streamed their music playing it back on less than stellar equipment? Is that what the surviving members of Fleetwood Mac think? | |
| Speakers 10 years old or older that can compete with todays best, I loved my ADS 1230s. Used them until very recently when they needed a repair that no one locally could do. There's only one person in Tulsa who repairs speakers and he didn't have the space to work on the large floorstanders. So sold them. Would... | |
| At what price is one considered an Audiophile. I don’t like the term audiophile. Crucially, speech to text never gets it right. Plus, it just sounds pretentious. I simply say that I care about the way sound is reproduced. I don’t even know how we can talk about price. If we bought gear years a... | |
| Real or Surreal. Do you throw accuracy out the window for "better" sound? So, Is it that your father's images were unrealistically dark or is it that the indoor lighting did not create that perception? You said initially that your father's images appeared natural. And now you say they are unrealistic. So are naturalnes... | |
| Real or Surreal. Do you throw accuracy out the window for "better" sound? Perhaps metallic was not the right word to use to express my sense of the falseness of the sound. Metallic edge in the same sense I would use to describe the taste of a diet soda. But it does sound appropriate when literally describing a cymbal hi... | |
| Real or Surreal. Do you throw accuracy out the window for "better" sound? @asctim Curious that you would use the word impact. Your father may not have been going for impact. Impact sounds like the image has an aggressive quality where the it 'pushes' at the viewer so that the viewer is impressed. The artist adds satur... | |
| Real or Surreal. Do you throw accuracy out the window for "better" sound? I am a photographer and this is the same debate that occurs in photography circles. And just like in photographs, I tend to notice excesses and be disturbed by them. The best sort of photograph for me is one in which I don’t question anything. Jus... | |
| Rumors of CD Demise Exagerated? New Hegel From my own limited perspective, I see vinyl sales coming primarily from pop artists while CDs are the main physical medium for the classical music I enjoy. My guess is that niche of CD sales will keep on keeping on. Just like classical music itse... |
