| Is There any Consensus at all amongst Audiophiles? @atdavid, you're right. That looks like an important omission - despite the fact that it's never ever been popular amongst enthusiasts.Most of us I guess, unless we experience obvious bass resonance issues, tend to regard room treatment as a final... | |
| Help me decide between these two turntable/cartridge combinations @gallus, naughty - but nice nevertheless.What with Shure exiting the cartridge business Ortofon must now be up there with the very best.As for Rega, well they used to be renowned for making good quality products at pocket friendly prices. Roy Gand... | |
| Analog Planet's (Fremer) review of the new Beatles Singles reissue Box Set Sean Magee must be kept as far apart from any Beatles reissues as it is humanly possible.The lack of empathic touch in this man is positively frightening. Criminal is another way to describe to describe the actions of this blundering bag of excuse... | |
| Is There any Consensus at all amongst Audiophiles? @berner99, thanks for the clarification. I couldn’t recall where I read it but that it did bother me then that science often progresses in such haphazard ways.Anyway the point that I wanted to make was that there is a large consensus in science th... | |
| Help me decide between these two turntable/cartridge combinations @btanchors, dare we ask why the 5.3inch height restriction? I mean do you really want to rule out the Technics 1200G from your equations on the sake of mere centimetres?However if it has got to be between one of these, a top Rega or a top Pro-Ject... | |
| Is There any Consensus at all amongst Audiophiles? @nonoise , are we human or are we cats?@maghister, "And also some evident fact: an amplifier costing 10,000 is probably better than my vintage very good Sansui..."I agree with what you say about individual experience. Your comment above ('probably... | |
| What is wrong with audiophiles? @millercarbon, "But think of it: audiophilia nervosa. Unlike pseudophile derangement syndrome, I didn’t just make that one up. Its been around a while. A very long while. Which has got to make you wonder ... wait for it... - What is wrong with aud... | |
| New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2 https://parttimeaudiophile.com/2019/10/10/the-occasional-podcast-s3e3-jeff-joseph-of-joseph-audio-an...Good interview with Jeff Joseph from around 23mins in. He keeps his cards close to his chest (esp regarding assembly techniques) but his story i... | |
| What is wrong with audiophiles? The problem with us audiophiles is that our perennial quest for audio satisfaction is often beleaguered by the various misinformers they we may encounter along the way.Some of those we encounter may mean well, and some no doubt will be plotting to... | |
| Do any of these interest you at all? (If you had the money)(Which I don't) I'm surprised to see so many plain ugly designs amongst that list. Almost as if stupid eye catching at any cost ergonomics was factored in as a key selling point. Do high-rolling audiophiles have such little sense of aesthetics? Or is ostentatious... | |
| How may a simple "Power Cable" change, improve an audio system? Sounds more like the correction of a loose connection somewhere.Or the power of suggestion.What would have happened if the head had said "This will definitely make your sound worse?"Perhaps the volume was inadvertently increased at the same time.P... | |
| Chinese fake cables How fake, how good? @zalive, sadly I found your words to be all too true. I still remember all the hassle of trying to source genuine high purity OFC copper speaker cables on eBay. After trying to trawl through the maze of varying prices and some non too convincing p... | |
| Mag Lev Turntable. Your Thoughts? I can only wish them and their backers well for attempting something SO radical. Bearing noise - what bearing noise? Hopefully the price drop indicates that an improved MK2 version is on the way soon. Still won't please everyone but that's audioph... | |
| What's your favorite lyric from a song? "And the people bowed and prayedTo the neon god they madeAnd the sign flashed out its warningIn the words that it was formingAnd the sign said, "The words of the prophetsAre written on the subway wallsAnd tenement halls"And whispered in the sounds... | |
| Chinese fake cables How fake, how good? Moral or ethical or ethical considerations when it comes to Audiophile sales techniques?Since when?No one EVER claims that their product is better than anyone elses. Never. And why not?Because that would mean having to prove it, having to back it ... |
